Calypso's Pool Bar & Grille

Was in town for a conference and stayed at the Caribe Royale Hotel. We arrived around 7 pm and noticed that the pool bar was crowded and lively. So we decided to check it out and were not disappointed! We asked our server for suggestions on drinks and he suggested the Spicy Pineapple Margarita ($17). It tasted great and was nice and strong. For dinner I had the Havana Steak Sandwich ($20) with a side of fries and an added an extra side salad ($6). The steak was juicy and tender, but needed a little extra something for flavor. But over all was a good meal with good portions. My only complaint was the cost of eating here. For my meal I ended up paying over $50 because it's pricey and they automatically include gratuity as a service charge. Although they were friendly, service was a bit slow because there was a lot of people. Even though it was convenient, the cost did keep us away for the rest of our 3 night stay.

Fun outside pool bar, music in the background not too loud. Margarita perfect. We started off with the skillet mussels. I had to remind myself I was at a pool bar. These were so flippin' good! Best mussels I remember having in a long time. Be sure and ask for extra bread to sop up all that goodness. We also enjoyed the Smashburger, the steak sandwich and the Nashville chicken sandwich. They were all good served with piping hot fries. Portions are huge, recommend sharing. Did I mention those mussels! Our server Manny was fantastic, attentive, kept the drink full

We came here to try it out and was a good experience. Manny the waiter was very good. I had the the pichos pichos which is skewers of beef and chicken with green beans and rice. It was very good and they have a nice sweet tea . Wife had the hummus citron which was very good as well. We clear under umbrellas over tables and the restaurant wasn't too crowded. It's on the hotel grounds so have to have a reservation to access this. But prices were reasonable and worth a try.

First time staying the the Caribe Royale and Calypso's Pool Bar & Grille is for sure where we spent most of our time when getting a drink or bite. I will say if I could I would give them 3.5 stars but as we know that isn't an option. I will say drinks are pricy and tips in included when you order as well as other resort fees I believe.My go to drink was the Caly Margarita and is mad which the good stuff which I normally don't use but it was for sure tasty. They were $17 each and when I got 2 the total came to $42. For sure I got the Seared Grouper Sandwich for $21 and comes with locally sourced grouper, lettuce, tomato, homemade Tarragon Aioli, on a Hawaiian Roll. This was actually very good and I really enjoyed it. One of the better grouper sandwiches I have had lately. The fish was perfectly cooked and I really liked the flavor of the Tarragon Aioli and the sweetness of the Hawaiian Roll. We also had the Chicken Tenders. These were pretty bad. They were way over cooked and had no flavor. Our food was hit or miss but they and go to the hits. The Smash Burger also looked very good. It's a resort so it's gonna be pricey so just remember that.

The food is very good. Lots of variety from appetizers, shareable items, salads and hearty burgers etc. great pool food. The service is a little slow but it's worth the wait. There's loud music and flat screens everywhere that makes you enjoy the people and your time here! Everything is made to order so be patient. The servers are hospitable and they aim to please. I'll be back tomorrow!!

The Caribbean jerk chicken wrap was ok but it was my bartender that made my experience 5 stars. Her name was Aisha and she was the life of the party! She had people laughing and her service was top notch. She was so authentic just being herself and having fun. I never felt like she didn't love her job and her customers! She brought the energy up in that place. Of all the bartenders I've encountered in my years, her vibe is unmatched!! Aisha made that atmosphere what it was! Fabian was a really cool bartender as well the few times I spoke with him. I loved this place and the staff. I wasn't crazy over the food, although it was good, it just wasn't anything special or unique, but the people behind the bar, that's what kept me coming back. Thank you Aisha and Fabian for making the Super Bowl so fun!! Keep vibing! P.S. I hope ownership does something to recognize these 2 bartenders because they are the reason I kept coming back and spending a lot of money, especially on all the beer and bourbon I drank. You have to invest in your people and recognize them when customers have experiences as great as mine was. Good people are hard to come by when it comes to recruiting employees nowadays, and these 2 are exceptional!! They deserve some sort of recognition and I would love to hear from ownership that they did something for them, or at least, if anything, they should read them my review, so they can feel good about the impact they have on their customers and can understand the level of appreciation that comes with it. Awesome people/bartenders! I can't say enough about how great they made my stay on my business trip!

The only thing good about the hotel was this restaurant. Food was good and service was prompt. If you are swimming at the pool I can see why it would be a good go to, since it's right next to the pool. Everything was clean, restaurant had a nice set up and seating was comfortable.All in all it was a great place to dine.

We went to Calypso's Bar & Grille for lunch in Orlando. We got Virgin Pina Colada & Spicy Pineapple Margarita. We ordered Poke Bowl & Fish Sandwich. Pretty good.

This is one of the dining options at Caribe Royal Resort. As the name implies - it is a pool bar. It has a nice open air interior and options for seating outdoors as well. I really enjoyed their cocktails - they muddled fresh fruit in many of the options. Food was pretty good - they offer some nice casual options. Staff was attentive and quick even at busy times!

Colby was such a great bartender. He was very friendly, and absolutely amazing at his job. Can't wait to come back and visit. Great vibes, close to Disney.
