Disney’s Yacht Club, Beach Club, or BoardWalk: Which EPCOT Resort Is the Best?

virgin holidays yacht and beach club

The EPCOT-area Resorts  and hotels at Walt Disney World have achieved something of a cult status. They’re impeccably designed, feature some lovely views, and — best yet — they’re walking distance from not one but two Disney Parks. The Yacht Club, Beach Club, and BoardWalk are Disney-owned and operated Resorts with classic themes and more than their share of great dining and accessible entertainment. No matter which you choose, you’re ideally placed for fun and convenience. 

virgin holidays yacht and beach club

Still, we wondered which of these Resorts would come out on top if we took a (clearly subjective) look at their characteristics.

Come along as AllEars struggles to decide which EPCOT Resort or hotel is best! We’re going worst to first, so get those comments ready for when you reach the end of our list!

Disney’s yacht club resort.

We’ll start with Disney’s Yacht Club, the least beloved of the three. This hotel is sophisticated preppy-ness done right with posh nautical references and luxurious and stately ambiance. But that tone isn’t exactly a good fit for a lot of Walt Disney World guests, landing Yacht Club on the bottom of our (short) list.

The dining options at Disney’s Yacht Club are actually pretty great: Ale & Compass Restaurant is decent, Crew’s Cup Lounge  is fantastic, and the famous Beaches & Cream Soda Shop (shared with Beach Club and home of the No Way Jose and Kitchen Sink Ice Cream Sundaes and killer chili cheese fries) is a dining destination worth traveling for.

But Beach Club guests can also easily access the Yacht Club dining options, making dining kind of a moot point of comparison between the two.

Another shared amenity for the Yacht Club and Beach Club: arguably Walt Disney World’s best pool, Stormalong Bay .

Stormalong Bay isn’t just any ordinary Resort pool; it’s a complex and is more like a waterpark in many respects! We’re talking a lazy river, sandy bottom wading pools, and expansive swim areas with bridges and islands scattered throughout them. It even has its own massive shipwrecked boat for a waterslide!

Don’t think you’ll get in to Stormalong Bay if you’re not a guest of the Yacht & Beach Club. You need to scan your MagicBand for pool entry and Cast Members keep Stormalong Bay pretty well guarded at all times for stowaways.

But the decor and tone of Yacht Club — which is stuffier than its beachy sister — leave this (still pretty awesome) Resort at the bottom of our Epcot-area Resorts list.

Disney’s Beach Club Resort

Next we’re heading right next door to Disney’s Beach Club Resort. The theming of this Disney Resort draws its inspiration from the spirit of having fun in the sun!

Check out reader reviews of Beach Club here!

Disney’s Beach Club is a little closer than Yacht Club and BoardWalk to the International Gateway entrance for EPCOT. While the distance may seem negligible to the naked eye, the few extra steps saved at the end of a long night in the Park really makes a difference when our dogs are barkin’!

Outside of Disney’s Beach Club you’ll find serene white sand beaches with lots of swinging benches and chairs perfect for reading or relaxing.

Ultimately, Beach Club’s vibe is decidedly more relaxed than Disney’s Yacht Club. If you’re into a more laid back cottage feel than the super-luxe sporting man’s vibe over on the Yacht side, you’ll likely feel more comfortable with Beach’s equally gorgeous but more chilled out design.

virgin holidays yacht and beach club

Disney’s Beach Club Resort also has some great restaurants you’ll want to try. There’s Cape May Cafe with a character breakfast buffet and a seafood dinner buffet and the apropos Martha’s Vineyard  for wine.

virgin holidays yacht and beach club

Room rates between Disney’s Yacht Club and Disney’s Beach Club are pretty much the same, so with both having sharable amenities, the real deciding factor between the two is their unique stylish settings — and we give Beach Club the edge for this . And if you’re traveling with kids who are all about some pool time, you might bump Beach Club over our number one pick…

Disney’s BoardWalk Inn

Our number one pick for best EPCOT-area Resort is Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, a whimsical turn-of-the-century-style Resort with oceanside offerings. To us, the BoardWalk feels a lot less stuffy than Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts while still providing an elegant backdrop to a Disney stay.

virgin holidays yacht and beach club

Browse reader reviews of BoardWalk Inn and Villas here!

There’s lots to see and do when you stay at Disney’s BoardWalk. The boardwalk itself is a popular nighttime destination — like a mini Disney Springs with lively bars, restaurants, and street performers!

There’s nightly dueling piano performances and singalongs down at Jellyrolls , or you can trip the light fantastic at the Atlantic Dance Hall , a popular nightclub. These over-21 venues do leave out the littles, though, which is why parents with kids might not find they can make the most out of BoardWalk’s many nighttime offerings.

But it’s not just  about the grown-ups here. The Resort has lots of stuff for the kids, too, including nightly showings of movies on the lawn and Surrey bikes for rent!

The BoardWalk Inn knows it has stiff pool competition across Crescent Lake, and theirs doesn’t disappoint. It may not have all the bells and whistles that Stormalong Bay has, but it does have a giant waterslide that resembles an old-timey wooden roller coaster.

virgin holidays yacht and beach club

In the end, you can’t really go wrong with any of the three Resorts , so while BoardWalk landed on top for us, we can certainly see the virtues of Yacht and Beach Club, too. Luckily since all three are within easy walking distance from one another, you really don’t have to choose in some respects! You can enjoy most of what each of these Resorts has to offer in terms of nightlife, restaurants, bars and entertainment no matter which one you choose to lay your head down in.

Which of the three Epcot area resorts do you think is best? Let us know in the comments section!

Can’t compare because we went to the Beach Club and will never go anywhere else (actually staying at the BC Villas in April)

I have stayed at the Boardwalk and also the Swan and Dolphin. I would like to stay at the Yacht and Beach clubs but they are really cost prohibitive in my opinion at this point. I stayed at those other resorts from 10 to 25 years ago when they were still affordable.

Definitely love Beach Club! When kids were younger, the pool was super important. Now that they are getting a little older though, we are preparing ourselves to try out Boardwalk in November. Wish us luck!!

Last December we stayed at the Beach Club but my DD (14) & I had breakfast at the Ale & Compass. When we walked in she looked around at the empty lobby, giant Christmas village train set and darker woodwork and asked, “Why are we staying here?!”. I had assumed my kids would prefer the Beach Club but the serpent at Yacht won them over. So next trip looks like we’ll be staying there. However, I agree that Boardwalk is pretty awesome. Except for the clown

My choice is Yacht Club for two particular reasons: Stormalong Bay puts it over Boardwalk, and every room having a full balcony puts it over Beach Club. Yacht Club is my favorite Disney resort of all!

I know I’m about two years late on this article, but a thousand times yes! However wrote this article definitely needs to go back and do more research. Boardwalk rating higher than Yacht club is laughable. I would dare say Yacht club ranks higher than Beach club for me. I happen to like the stuffy atmosphere but I also love that I get a full balcony.

In my opinion, for the amount of money these resorts cost…I’m in favor of the Beach Club! The POOL!! You can save money on park tickets for the family and just have a day dedicated to this pool. Walking ccess to the two parks is fantastic. The ability to see a little bit of the Epcot show every night from the bridge is fun too! Just walking around the circle is very pretty and good for little ones to walk..

Don’t forget Swan and Dolphin!!! Appreciate not Disney “owned” but offers everything I would expect from a Disney resort hotel. Have enjoyed many great holidays there.

Liz, thanks for your comment!

This is a pretty superficial comparison of the three resorts. Having stayed multiple times at each of these, I have to respectfully suggest a closer look in order to make a meaningful analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the three resorts. Yes, the dining is important, but what about the rooms? The friendliness and performance of the staff? The little details? For example, the Boardwalk is HUGE and many of the rooms are a long distance from the lobby. Those with disabilities may particularly have a problem with that. Also, there is a difference in noise level, because of the conferences held at the Boardwalk and, well, the boardwalk out front, which brings lots of foot traffic to the stores and restaurants there. You could also have addressed the differences in the reputations of the concierge levels at all three. I prefer the Beach Club’s concierge, but some rooms are not located on the same floor as the concierge lounge, which can be bothersome to those of us who like to dash down the hall for snacks, etc., at all hours. You didn’t mention the various resorts’ shopping options, either. I would rate Yacht Club higher than Boardwalk in that regard, for example. And then there are the holidays and the unique touches at each during that time. The amazing gingerbread carousel, which actually moves, makes the Beach Club tops for the holidays, in my book. Anyway, I’d love to see a more in-depth version of this article. There’s much to cover just in comparing these three resorts to one another, let alone in comparing them to other deluxe resorts on the property. (And you didn’t even mention the Swan and Dolphin, also in the Epcot-adjacent area!)

Virgin Voyages’ Bimini Beach Club in the Bahamas: The ultimate guide

Erica Silverstein

Virgin Voyages likes to do things a little differently than other cruise lines. It does not operate a private island , like Royal Caribbean or Norwegian Cruise Line. Instead, it invites guests to an exclusive beach club on the island of Bimini in the Bahamas, where cruisers can enjoy sand, sun and sea without paying for an excursion.

Virgin Voyages ' Bimini Beach Club in the Bahamas is a staple on all of the cruise line's Bahamas and Caribbean sailings. Here's our guide to everything you need to know about the island and the beach club to plan your perfect day.

For cruise news, reviews and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

What is the Beach Club at Bimini?

virgin holidays yacht and beach club

The Beach Club at Bimini is a stretch of beach plus facilities (pool, food pavilions, bars and water sports) that are reserved for the exclusive use of Virgin Voyages passengers when one of the line's ships docks at Bimini. It's akin to a European beach club or Caribbean private beach resort where you pay an entry fee for access to a private shoreside complex — except that entry is included in your Virgin Voyages' cruise fare.

The facility is technically owned by Resorts World Bimini, but it was designed by Virgin Voyages. Resort guests and travelers on other cruise ships may purchase day passes to the beach club when a Virgin Voyages ship is not in port.

Where is the Beach Club at Bimini?

Virgin Voyages' Bimini Beach Club is on North Bimini Island, one of three islands that make up Bimini in the Bahamas. The beach is not far from Alice Town, the main settlement.

Bimini is roughly 50 miles from the Florida coast. (For reference, a ferry can make the journey in two hours.)

The beach club is near the Hilton at Resorts World Bimini and has condo-style vacation rentals.

Which cruise ships go there?

virgin holidays yacht and beach club

Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady and Valiant Lady are the main cruise ships that visit Bimini and use the beach club.

However, other cruise ships do call on Bimini, including ships from Royal Caribbean , Carnival Cruise Line , Celebrity Cruises and Holland America . The cruise lines may sell excursions to Virgin Voyages' Beach Club at Bimini or to the beach at Beach 360 or Resorts World Bimini.

How do you get to and around Bimini?

A complimentary open-air tram takes cruisers from the end of the pier to key stops on Bimini. The first stop is the Fisherman's Village Marina, where you can rent a golf cart to independently explore the island, book a golf cart tour or do a little shopping. If you just want to go to the beach club, stay on the tram. The next stop is Virgin Voyages' Beach Club.

If you arrive on a ship that isn't affiliated with Virgin, the tram will also take you to the public area of the beach past the club, where a couple of food trucks or water sports vendors may set up shop.

What are the best things to do in Bimini?

virgin holidays yacht and beach club

Bimini is a tiny island and its biggest attraction is the beach. Most Virgin Voyages cruisers will spend the entire day at the beach club.

The first thing you will see when you enter the club are the side-by-side lagoon pools. They are flanked with lounge chairs and cabanas, and cater to folks who want to get wet but don't want to brave the ocean waves. The coveted lounge chairs by the pools fill up quickly, so disembark early if you want to nab one.

Midday, Virgin Voyages crew members bring out an array of fun pool floats for your lounging (and photo-taking) pleasure.

Adjacent to the pool on the left, as you face the ocean, is the also-popular Lagoon Bar. If you see an empty swing chair, grab it quickly. Then sway lazily in the sun with your toes in the water as you sip your frozen cocktail.

virgin holidays yacht and beach club

Most everyone ends up on the beach, where rows of complimentary lounge chairs with shade umbrellas wait for eager sun worshippers. Note that the farthest row of chairs from the beach does not have umbrellas, nor can you rent them.

Cabanas are available for rent here as well. Early birds can claim the padded day beds and circular clamshell loungers scattered around the beach.

Activities on the beach may include stand-up paddleboard yoga and the "We Run This Beach" summer camp-style competition.

Back toward the club's entrance, the Hideaway is a palm tree forest of hammocks, so you won't miss your balcony too much while you're in port. Adjacent to the Main House is the open-air-but-roofed Lounge if you want to escape the sun but keep the ocean view.

virgin holidays yacht and beach club

On the opposite side of the Main House, Belvedere Beach is a shady space offering volleyball and bocce ball courts, plus corn hole. It's sponsored by the cruise line's beverage partner, Belvedere Vodka.

If you're looking for water sports, Virgin Voyages does offer SUP yoga, but the Bimini Beach Club does not offer any other rentals. You can book a water sports tour or rent equipment independently from Kayak Beach (directly outside the port's gates) or at the water sports shack beyond the northern perimeter of the Beach Club.

Do suite guests get special treatment on Bimini?

virgin holidays yacht and beach club

Passengers booked in suites and other VIPs get access to the RockStar Retreat at the far end of the beach club.

The open-air, covered pavilion houses a bar, private bathrooms and patio-like seating areas. It's much nicer to order a drink here than fight the crowds at the Lagoon Bar. The patio is also lovely for folks who want to enjoy the sun without getting sandy.

Come lunchtime, find a seat on the patio and a waiter will come and take your lunch order. The menu is the same as at the main lunch venues. However, instead of waiting in line and carrying your food to a picnic table, you can order from a comfortable seat, and a server will bring your meal.

Down on the sand, lounge chairs, cabanas and day beds await VIP sun worshippers. The ship's rockstars don't have to fight for seating with the regular Joes, and prime seating does not fill up as quickly as on the rest of the beach.

What are the Beach Club at Bimini excursions?

virgin holidays yacht and beach club

There's no reason to spend money on a tour on Bimini because you're treated to a beach day already. However, if you're the type who can't lie on the beach for hours, Virgin Voyages does offer the following tours. (Pricing and availability may vary by sail date.)

  • Bimini Heritage and Cultural Tour (tram tour of the island), from $85.
  • Fishing charter, from $250.
  • Guided two-tank scuba dive, from $150.
  • Jet ski tour for two, from $250.
  • Kayak tour for two, from $150.
  • Paint by the Bay: Bimini Art Workshop, from $85.
  • Sapona Shipwreck and Shark Snorkeling, from $140.
  • Sapona Shipwreck Swim and Snorkel, from $85.
  • Swim with stingrays, from $115.
  • Midafternoon pontoon boat cruise, from $100.
  • Wild dolphin safari, from $175.

Can you rent cabanas on Bimini Beach?

virgin holidays yacht and beach club

Yes! Virgin Voyages' Bimini Beach Club offers four kinds of cabanas for rent, with the differences mainly based on location within the club area.

The rustic structures conjure up deserted island vibes with their thatched-wood roof and walls. The fourth side is open and the wooden floor extends into a kind of patio. Under the roof is an adjustable day bed, side table and striped beanbag chairs; outside are two lounge chairs and a coffee table. A drink cooler is provided.

Dedicated crew members will attend to your needs and bring you food and drinks so you don't have to wait in line with everyone else. They will also surprise you with treats, but Virgin Voyages is coy about what those might be.

Prices are listed per cabana, not per person; cabanas can accommodate up to six. Pricing also includes a $100 drink credit to use on bottle service, pitchers of mai tais and other beachy beverages, spiked coconuts or whatever you're thirsty for.

Bimini Beach Cabanas

Four clusters of beach cabanas flank the north, central and south ends of the beach club's strip of sand. The 14 cabanas are between the complimentary lounge chairs and the pools.

Prices start from $500 per cabana.

Bimini Grove Cabanas

virgin holidays yacht and beach club

The Grove cabanas are identical to the beach cabanas but are located farthest from the water, near The Lounge and the hammock grove. These are best if you're looking for a quiet escape and don't intend to get wet.

Because of their location, Bimini Grove Cabanas are the cheapest cabana option, with prices starting from $400 per cabana.

Bimini Lagoon Cabanas

The four Bimini Lagoon Cabanas are poolside, between the righthand (or north) pool and Beach Eats North. These are best for cruisers who prefer calm, chlorinated water to ocean waves.

Bimini RockStar Cabanas

RockStar cabanas are exclusive to passengers staying in RockStar suites or other VIPs with Richard's Rooftop access on board. However, if any of the nine cabanas don't sell, Virgin may open them up to regular sailors – earning them the full rockstar treatment for their time at the beach club.

What is the beach club's food menu, and is it free?

virgin holidays yacht and beach club

Virgin Voyages does not offer self-serve, buffet dining on its ships or on its private beach. If you're expecting a buffet-style beach barbecue as you'd find on another's line private island, you're in for a pleasant surprise.

First of all, lunch is complimentary at the beach club and served from late morning well into the afternoon. There are two Beach Eats pavilions with food service and seating, and RockStars can order from the pavilion area of the VIP Retreat.

No matter where you choose to dine, you'll order off a menu, and your food will be brought to you.

virgin holidays yacht and beach club

Here's Virgin Voyages' Bimini Beach Club food menu (order as much or as little as you like):

  • Lechon asado.
  • Caribbean chicken and coconut curry.
  • West Indian pumpkin curry.
  • Banana leaf steamed red snapper.
  • Bahamian mango and macadamia nut salad.
  • Watermelon and jicama salad.
  • Crispy cassava.
  • Grilled corn on the cob.
  • Tropical fruit salad.
  • Rum cake with guava sauce.

Do not miss the curries or the delicious grilled corn on the cob with jerk mayo and toasted coconut. The rum cake is a Bimini Beach Club specialty, so save room for dessert.

Does my Sailor Loot or Bar Tab work at the Bimini Beach Club bars?

You do not need cash at the Bimini Beach Club, just the RFID bracelet you use on board. Your drinks will be charged to your onboard account, so you can use any credit from a Virgin Voyages' Bar Tab package or Sailor Loot to fund your beachside fun.

Does the beach club have Wi-Fi?

Virgin Voyages' onboard Wi-Fi extends to the beach club. You might have to reconnect your phone or other device, but you will have internet access on Bimini.

What's the typical Bimini Bahamas weather?

The weather is lovely in Bimini year-round, with average high temperatures ranging from the low-70s in winter to the mid-80s in summer. The summer months are the rainiest, with September typically getting the most rainfall. (That month is also the peak of hurricane season in the Atlantic and Caribbean.)

Be prepared that the beach can be windy and that winds can pick up or calm down throughout the day. If the surf is up when you visit, water sports might get canceled. The pool area is more protected, so head to the lagoon if sand is flying down on the beach.

Can I see a Beach Club at Bimini map?

You can find a map of the beach club in The Main House, to the left as you enter the club.
