Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort

This hotel is really great! Awesome pools, clean rooms with comfortable beds, nice showers, excellent customer service (Josh at check-in was the best!), options to text the front desk instead of call, and really prompt and nice buses to all of the parks. I took one star off because of 2 things: the regular rooms don’t have microwaves in them, only the family suites, and their laundry rooms have 3rd party machines, so if something is wrong with them they can’t be fixed by the property. Since the kids and dad only packed 4 outfits for a weeklong trip, it was quite a bummer to have to walk to a different building to do laundry late at night since the dryers in our building were all out of order. Otherwise, we had a great stay!

I’m a Universal pass holder, and Cabana Bay is always my go-to place to stay when visiting Orlando. The location is unbeatable—so close to the parks, especially Volcano Bay, which makes everything super convenient. The pool areas are fantastic with so much to do, from the lazy river and water slide to the hot tubs, all without leaving the resort. On our last trip, my friends and I stayed in a family suite, which was perfect for our group of four. The beds were very comfortable, the room was clean and well-maintained, and we loved having the kitchen area for snacks and drinks. We also had a great view of the pool area, which made the stay even better. The dining hall is another highlight—plenty of food options for all meals, and it’s quick and easy, which is great when you’re on the go. The service throughout our stay was excellent, and we always leave Cabana Bay feeling relaxed and recharged. Looking forward to our next stay—it really is the perfect place for a Universal getaway!

I absolutely loved my stay at Cabana Bay Beach Resort! The retro vibe is so fun, the rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Having early park access was such a game-changer, and the pools and lazy river made it feel like a vacation inside a vacation! Perfect location, amazing amenities, and such a happy atmosphere—I can’t wait to come back!

We had an awesome stay here this weekend! The room was great! Super clean with an excellent view of Volcano Bay which we visited twice while we were here. We enjoyed having the convenience of the waterpark within walking distance and shuttle pickup which was super fast to get to Universal. Definitely 5 stars for the location and a huge shout out and 5 stars to Ellie at the front desk for truly amazing customer service!! Me and my man got our reservation checkout date confused and she was so sweet and helpful so we were luckily able to keep our same room for one more night. We were super pleased with that experience and the whole trip was all around fantastic! We will definitely return soon.

We've stayed at Universal many times and love all the different Resorts they have, but as a family with young kids this is one of the best. They're suits are perfect for family who has young kids who want to watch TV in the morning while Mom and Dad sleep in and have some cereal from The little kitchen area. The cafeteria is perfect for the entire family to cater to everyone with their different eating requirements. They even have a gluten-free section. The two pools, Lazy River and fire pits are absolutely perfect for just relaxing at the resort. I love the theme parks but honestly if you're going you might as well booked a few extra days just to sit back and enjoy the resort itself. Highly recommend
