If you or your little ones dream about life under the sea, there’s no better place to stay now than Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, where you can enjoy a brand-new room themed to “The Little Mermaid!” Naturally, we stopped in to stay at the new room and take a tour of the space.

A quick survey of the room reveals a reasonable amount of space for up to five guests to sleep. There’s one bed plus a twin pull-out and a collapsing couch Murphy bed on opposite sides of each other.

This may be the biggest mirror we’ve ever seen in a Disney Hotel room.

The air conditioning unit remains the same, but has a metallic finish.

The curtains meanwhile are new, but have a general Caribbean theme rather than “The Little Mermaid.” There’s some hidden Mickeys as well as starfish, seaweed, and other sights one might expect.

The smallest of the pull-down beds acts as a sitting area when not in use. Some drawers below add to the storage space available.

A card with instructions on how to safely pull down the beds are on top of this particular shelf. Also present are two grounded power outlets, a USB-C port, and a USB-A port.

We see the Duke of Soul and other members of the band from the “Under the Sea” sequence fast asleep as well. This is also the first time there’s no light on the pull-down fifth sleeper for the first time.

The first collapsible bed is hidden by a seafoam green couch.

Some art featuring fish from “The Little Mermaid” adds a decorative touch when the bed is not in use.

There’s a small coffee table in place right in front of the couch for general lounging in the room. It also acts as a support for the bed when pulled down. This does come on wheels.

The space pulls down to reveal a bed, where the extra pillows in the closet will come in handy.

There’s some storage space under the bed as is the trend with modern Disney hotel rooms.
![PHOTOS, VIDEO: Tour The NEW ‘The Little Mermaid’ Fifth Sleeper Hotel Rooms at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort 22 CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour 28](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/06/CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour_28.jpg)

A small nightstand sits between the two beds, with the room’s phone as well as another set of outlets and light switches. Some more storage space is down here as well as a drawer with the Gideon Bible.
![PHOTOS, VIDEO: Tour The NEW ‘The Little Mermaid’ Fifth Sleeper Hotel Rooms at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort 24 CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour 29](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/06/CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour_29.jpg)

The bed also has two sets of reading lights and its own set of overhead lighting as well.

If you worry about storage space, these rooms should help assuage those fears. Three more large drawers sit on the edge, with plenty of countertop space as well.

Underneath the central area we have the mini-fridge.

On the left is the garbage pail and recycling on the bottom, with the safe atop behind a door.

On the far left side is a coffee station with some extra shelves showing off more sea creatures from “The Little Mermaid.”

The Cuisinart may not be the best in-room coffee maker at a Walt Disney World resort, it still does the job though. Joffrey’s coffee and Twinings tea are both provided.
![PHOTOS, VIDEO: Tour The NEW ‘The Little Mermaid’ Fifth Sleeper Hotel Rooms at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort 31 CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour 31](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/06/CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour_31.jpg)
The bathroom is of course located in the rear, and is accessed via a sliding door, another trend we’ve seen since the renovated rooms at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort a few years back.
![PHOTOS, VIDEO: Tour The NEW ‘The Little Mermaid’ Fifth Sleeper Hotel Rooms at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort 32 CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour 32](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/06/CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour_32.jpg)
There’s a dot pattern on the door to give it some texture.
![PHOTOS, VIDEO: Tour The NEW ‘The Little Mermaid’ Fifth Sleeper Hotel Rooms at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort 33 CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour 33](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/06/CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour_33.jpg)
The bathroom space is fairly standard, with plenty more storage space. Some cubbies and a closet sit to the right.
![PHOTOS, VIDEO: Tour The NEW ‘The Little Mermaid’ Fifth Sleeper Hotel Rooms at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort 34 CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour 34](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/06/CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour_34.jpg)
There’s a double vanity setup, helpful for getting out the door and into the parks. The new blue and white tiling is quite nice, adding a splash of color to the sand color palette.
![PHOTOS, VIDEO: Tour The NEW ‘The Little Mermaid’ Fifth Sleeper Hotel Rooms at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort 35 CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour 35](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/06/CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour_35.jpg)
A stepstool is installed on the left side which slides out so little ones can access the sink easily. The side has a little Mickey silhouette carved on the bottom.
![PHOTOS, VIDEO: Tour The NEW ‘The Little Mermaid’ Fifth Sleeper Hotel Rooms at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort 36 CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour 36](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/06/CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour_36.jpg)
Meanwhile another drawer is on the right.

A mirror with a ring light hangs off the left. Another sliding door separates the toilet and shower.
![PHOTOS, VIDEO: Tour The NEW ‘The Little Mermaid’ Fifth Sleeper Hotel Rooms at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort 38 CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour 37](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/06/CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour_37.jpg)
The tile pattern continues in here, with a fairly standard setup in the toilet area.
![PHOTOS, VIDEO: Tour The NEW ‘The Little Mermaid’ Fifth Sleeper Hotel Rooms at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort 39 CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour 40](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/06/CaribbeanBeachLittleMermaidRoomTour_40.jpg)
The most recognizable art is above the toilet, featuring Flounder and Sebastian.

Inside the shower, we have a little cubby for your own toiletries plus the standard set of three Disney reusable bottles as well.
Overall, the switch from “Pirates of the Caribbean” to “The Little Mermaid” felt somewhat disappointing, as we were big fans of the former theme and there are also already rooms for “The Little Mermaid” at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort that are highly themed.
Guests wishing to book this room may find it a bit difficult, as there is no dedicated category for this type specifically. Our recommendation is that you book a fifth sleeper room at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, then do a building request for Trinidad buildings, specifically Trinidad South. While there’s no guarantee your request will be met, this is your best possible chance.
Take a look at the former Pirate rooms here.
