We stayed a week. Housekeeping great every other day. Food service, arcade staff, ice cream shop, laundry, star bucks and front desk staff great, gift shop great. Loved fire pit and meeting so many wonderful people. Pool staff roughed out cold snap. Condos. Felt safe. Shuttle fast and never waited. Great vacation. Our second time at this hotel. Great to see all the holiday decorations too. Yes. It was at a cost. But definitely worth it. Hope to visit again.

Retro Goodness!
I have stayed at Cabana Bay several times since I absolutely love the retro theming. During the most recent stay the staff was friendly and welcoming, I even received a free room upgrade. If you are looking to stay on property at Universal Orlando and are looking for something a bit different that still falls on the budget side of pricing at the resort, take a look at Cabana Bay.

Room was so dusty it made my entire family sick, we notified the management and all they did was refund us some pizza we had room serviced. We also had to switch rooms the 2nd day because the shower barely worked. We definitely would not be returning.

Disliked: Amenities
This property is more outdated than the other Universal properties. Our refrigerator was broken, the remote control to the TV did not work, the telephone did not have a dial tone, the tub spout was broken causing issues with our abilty to toggle between tub/shower, and the pools were just not as "cool" as the reviews and pictures claim. The food was just so-so and the soda in the fountains was flat! We've stayed at other Universal properties and Cabana Bay is definitely our least favorite. We were happy with the proximity to the parks though.

Family fun at Cabana Bay!
Always a fun, nostalgic family vibe at Cabana Bay!! We love the conveniences like the free shuttle to the parks with early admission, the grab-n-go food and Starbucks on site. Great for kids with its bonfires for s'mores, arcade, bowling alley etc. I love the tvs playing vintage commercials. Rooms are clean, comfy no frills.
