My fiance had a great time during our stay! It was my first time staying at Cabana Bay as well as experiencing Universal Studios. We absolutely loved the proximity and shuttles that Universal resorts provides not only from the parks but to and from the airport as well. If you're planning on visiting Volcano Bay than I highly suggest staying at Cabana Bay. It's within walking distance and because of it makes your trip very seamless and effortless (which is such a plus!). If you're not planning on visiting Volcano Bay but other Universal parks instead, than I would suggest to get the best deal possible. But, know this. Staying at a Universal resort grants you early access to the Universal parks which is a huge bonus! We got to experience everything Universal had to offer without a fast pass. Highly recommend!

We booked the Poolside Family Suite Exterior Entry specifically to "Enjoy convenient outdoor access with an exterior entry to the pool courtyard area." Great liberties are taken with your description. Convenient access means I open my door and walk straight out to the pool. Not down the outside hall, down stairs or the dirty elevator and then over to the pool. POOL.... oh wait, it was only opened 1 day out of our stay! So if we wanted to use the Cabana Bay pools, we had to walk to the one on the other side of the complex. Definitely not enjoyable or convenient. Elevator was dirty, we watched a pile of something yellow dry over the course of our trip, never to be wiped up. Check in could be handled better. We were told we were not eligible for online check in because of how we booked. Considering this could help your lines and stream line your processes it should be available to more people. Consider it part of the hotel and resort fees we prepay before even arriving and spending more inside the hotel. I will be back to Universal but I will be exploring other hotels next time!

You can tell this is one of the most popular hotels on the resort. The pools are great! Its huge with all the amenities to really call it a resort. The only reason I cannot give it 5 stars is because 1) My key card deactivated or I had issues with the door three times 2) The lines in the lobby for assistance is usually nuts. 3) if you are there for check in early and your room isn't ready there is no area where you can just go to sit quietly or take a meeting. I would definitely go back though.

Very happy with our stay at Cabana Bay. Our family of 6 was comfortable in our room; although, we weren’t there often. We walked to the parks twice daily and were happy with the mile trek. Food is decent and there is a nice selection overall. Pools are packed but fairly well monitored. Nice public areas. All exchanges with the front desk are through text and they are quick to respond. If we return to Universal, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Cabana Bay. No Express passes, so that may encourage us to consider their other hotels.

My niece's (16 & 25) and I had a fantastic stay at Cabana Bay Beach Resort. The price was very reasonable and competitive with local Hilton properties that I usually enjoy. I chose to stay in a park resort due to competitive price and ease in transportation to the parks, particularly Volcano Bay which is an easy 5 minute walk from the hotel. The food was very good and we started our days with some great omelets made-to-order, breakfast meats and juice. (high protein for a high energy day!) There was not a long wait for our food and we were able to eat and catch the early bus to the Universal parks. The bowling alley and arcade are very fun and reasonably priced for evening entertainment. The pool area near our building was lovely and very clean. Our room faced the Volcano and was also very clean. The beds were super comfy which was welcoming after longs days on our feet. With three ladies and one bathroom, we found plenty of counter space for our "stuff". We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back soon!

Rooms were super cute and extremely clean. All the common areas were extremely clean and well maintained and staffed. All staff was extremely helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. Would definitely stay here again. Transportation to the parks was super easy. Next time I will book for more days so that we can do more things at the hotel also. We didn't have time to hang out by the lazy river and pool or eat dinner and bowl at the hotel because we spent so much time in the parks and only stayed 1 night

From booking to check in to check out and every interaction in between the customer service was amazing. The resort was clean, beautiful and well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed being able to park our car and use the transportation to City Walk. The wait time for the bus was reasonable in both directions. We spent one entire day at the pool which was beautiful and fun. A few people in our party ordered food from the poolside cafe and thought it was delicious, especially the fish tacos. I would definitely recommend this hotel based on price, value, customer service and experience.

I have to give Cabana Bay a 5 star rating. The reception staff was wonderful and helpful! The room was clean and the resort itself was full of great amenities. The only issue that I had was the food prep staff did not seem too happy like at Disney World but the food was still good with a good variety. We will definitely be staying at this resort again in the future! I recommend staying here if you need to stay at a Universal Resort and you are on a budget!

We just checked in today 1/5/2021 and so far such a wonderful experience!! For starters they are taking temperatures as soon as you walk in to check in so the safety concerns are appreciated! BIG shout out to our wonderful helper at the front desk Andrea! She helped us check in and was so helpful! She went ABOVE and beyond to make our stay even more wonderful! The room was clean, and bed was comfortable! The view was also really nice. Definitely recommend

Andrea at the front desk was an absolute angel and made our first trip to Cabana Bay one to remember for sure. She went above and beyond for me and my boyfriend just because! It was the best way to start our short getaway. Aside from her five star customer service, the hotel is beautiful and the beds are very comfy too! No doubt we’ll be back. :)

This resort is so detailed and well done. If you are a fan of the 50's aesthetic you will love this hotel. The rooms are super clean and the beds are pretty comfortable. The Bayliner Diner had some awesome food and they were able to modify some options to be vegan for me. The check in and check out processes were very swift and easy. The bus to Universal was very convenient, but if you would rather walk there is a path that doesn't take too long. I will be staying here again in the future.

Clean and comfortable 50/ retro themed hotel. The rooms are spacious and great for families of 2 to 6 people. The gym and bowling alley make this hotel even better. The only down side is your room key doesn't work as a fast pass like some of the other on site hotels. I've stayed here many times and plan to come back.

Would stay here again. The hotel had a fun theme that although had a 50s vibe (which I loved) was modern, clean and nice. I loved the bright colors throughout. The food wasn't amazing but it was good. My kids enjoyed the swimming pools and the sandy beach at each pool. I did expect a bit more activities at the pool but it was good. Lazy river and slide. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and responded quickly to my inquiries. Shuttle buses came frequently and we never had to wait for one.

Second trip here itâs really handy to get kids in the park early. But, not as good. As the first trip.
