Ive been staying at Cabana Bay for the past 3 years and it's always been great, fantastic even but this year wasn't so great. They threw me in a room I didn't reserve with no view of the hotel life with families and fun and gave me a hard time when I tried to change it. Other than that the stay was beautiful and the amenities are worth it. The guest service was just not it though.

Good Bang For Your Buck!

Cabana Bay is a decent moderately priced hotel that’s perfect for families looking to stay on the Universal property. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable, and the customer service was extremely friendly and helpful. I was bummed that the hot tub at our main pool was broken for the entire three nights stay and the only other hot tub and use was extremely tiny and a good Seven minute walk away from our hotel room—not convenient! I was also saddened to learn that they no longer pump music into the underwater speakers at the Hideaway pool! That was a feature. I really liked when I stayed here almost 2 years ago, and I had hyped it up so much to my son. It was a major disappointment when we learned it was no longer in service! We experienced a little snafu regarding a hotel staff member giving us inaccurate information about what restaurants were still open after 11 PM when we arrived the first night, however; the hotel management made it right by comping us a couple of meals on site. Drinks at the Hideaway bar were delicious and served with a smile and the food in the diner is quite good! I love how it’s open until 11 PM— super convenient for late night eaters and night owls in our family! All in all, I would definitely stay here again with my family if we were going to Universal!
