Caribe Resort occupies 38 landscaped acres on Perdido Beach Boulevard in Orange Beach, Alabama, where the Gulf of Mexico meets the Intercoastal Waterway. The resort's signature wrap-around balconies open onto both bodies of water — morning coffee over the Intercoastal marina, sunset cocktails over the sugar-white sand. On-site you get five pools total (two zero-entry three-tier outdoor pools with tubular water slides and three seasonally-heated indoor pools), a 980-foot winding lazy river, two hot tubs, a wet and dry sauna pairing, and Cosmo's Restaurant & Bar for a five-star dinner without leaving the property. Private boat docks let you step from your suite to a skiff.

The active side of Caribe is equally stacked. Three tennis courts, a complimentary 18-hole artificial golf course, a 10,000 sq ft Tiff Eagle manicured putting green, two bocce ball courts, and a 24-hour fitness center keep adults busy; kids have a dedicated arcade, splash pad, and zero-entry wading pool. Off-property, Orange Beach stretches for miles of emerald Gulf — The Wharf (shops, concerts, Ferris wheel) is ten minutes east, Gulf State Park fifteen minutes west, and OWA Amusement Park twenty minutes inland in Foley. Pensacola International Airport is forty minutes away; Mobile Regional is just over an hour.
