"I'm sure there is a better place to stay. But the pool is nice."
TripAdvisor user rating 2.0 out of 5
Reviewed April 21, 2025 NEW
The condition of both rooms, the lack of communication regarding the park’s early closure, and the outdated menus significantly impacted my experience. YOU PAY WAY TOO MUCH FOR WAY TOO LITTLE. The rooms were in unacceptable condition, including the presence of pests, broken lights, and cleanliness issues. This is certainly not the experience we expected. The pool is nice, but the food is very bad in this hotel. We had to door dash everything. For the amount of money, we spent on 3 days the stay was disappointing.

This is one of our favourite hotels in Orlando! It’s excellent value for money, super clean and a perfect base for Universal! We always stay in the Volcano view rooms as these are located in the newer towers and the rooms are modern and spotless. The food court here has something for everyone and the pools are great fun. We never waited more than a minute for a bus to universal and the ability to walk straight into Volcano Bay can not be beaten. Thanks Cabana Bay, we’ll be back next year!

I just returned from a girls weekend with my bestie at Cabana Bay. It exceeded both of our expectations. The room was huge and very clean. Beautiful. This place has a ton of amenities. Fire pits, two pools, and hot tubs. A bowling alley. A shake shack. Restaurants, stores, and Starbucks. It’s a short shuttle ride to City Walk. I 100% plan on returning and she does too! Thank you Cabana Bay!

"Make reservations on any site except Universal Studios"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed April 15, 2025 NEW
The reservations department at Universal unlike outside booking sites will not help with any adjustments to your room after scheduling. We tried to adjust the day of arrival about a week in advance and were told basically to pound sand. Any accommodations they were going to make were going to be adjusted like we never made reservations 2 months in advance and charged close to double the original price. Supervisor made no attempt to reasonably assist. Will book using Tripadvisor or other outside site in the future.

"Fabulous Universal Hotel"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed April 13, 2025 NEW
We almost didn’t book this hotel due to the many negative reviews online. Cabana Bay is an exceptional value for staying on property. We had a ground level, poolside family suite with exterior entry. Room was clean and gave us enough space for our two teenagers. Resort has everything you need - two pools, lots of food options, bowling and an arcade. We were lucky to have been given a free upgrade to a room facing into the resort - but the $20 per day would have been worth it. We stayed in building 1 which gave us easy access to the garden path to walk to Sapphire Falls to catch the water taxi. Only downside was that the slide was under major renovations. This was not mentioned anywhere on the website so that was disappointing (especially since we only booked 2 weeks in advance). Then the Lazy River was closed for “unexpected maintenance” on our last day. We also weren’t aware that the parks close early - usually 7:00 or 8:00pm. We are used to Disney where the parks stay open much later. All in all, this is a great place to stay with a family of all ages. Highly recommend.
