We love Cabana Bay. This is our fourth stay, to access the parks. All the staff were very friendly and super helpful in all departments. We had a particularly good experience with all the people in the Universal shop (Dwayne, Dharma and everyone else) as we shipped some things that we bought, back home to Australia. We had a lot of questions and they were all very patient and superhelpful over a few days. It all happened very smoothly and the duty managers were exceptional as were the staff. My only issue would be the amount of processed food available, which made it hard for meals as I’m allergic to a preservative that was in most foods. There wasn’t much access to freshly cooked meals. Apart from that it is fantastic and great value for money. Another thing that works well as the bus to the park. The drivers were all terrific and waited if you were running along at the back, wondering if the bus was going to go or not. They always waited. Buses were very frequent. Highly recommend giving it a try.

I accept that the hotel has an "every other day" policy related to housekeeping for guest rooms. Our room was missed or skipped on our assigned day, so I called the desk well before they were done for the day. I was told my room would be put in the queue for cleaning. When I returned to my room later in the evening, it had still not been touched. I called again the very next morning and was again told we'd be attended too, even though it wasn't our day! Seriously - you see I called previously! Later in the day I returned to find a bag of towels and other items dropped on the floor - bed still unmade, trash overflowing, etc. Completely disappointed! At that point, I needed to get ready for dinner and didn't want to be disturbed!

Hotel room, lobby, pool area, and eating areas were very clean (only 3 days after Hurricane Milton!). The front desk staff were very helpful and nice. We requested a few things via text and they were delivered immediately. The Bayliner food was very good and very reasonable for the quality and amount. They also had grab and go things available. Kids loved the pool area with a slide, lazy river, and 2 pools. Parents loved the 2 hot tubs! Wonderful stay! I highly recommend it!

Oct 2024

I really enjoy this place specially because it’s close to the theme parks and CityWalk but what I don’t like about it is how you have to use your room key to get into the pool area when your hands are full wish they could figure out a better system for that

The stay was great and I downgraded to get a volcano view standard room. They said that they would have to work with Hotels.com to refund me and I have yet to hear from Hotels.com regarding my refund, so that is a little concerning.

Really nice hotel. Check in lines are a bit long they offer online check in but I didn't get a link from hotels.com to check in online so i was not able to use. The hotel is clean and looks very nice has a lot of amenities. Food is very good and has a lot of options. I don't like that I was not made aware that you have to buy a float for the lazy river or you can walk it but doesn't make sense to me to for a hotel to have a lazy river and not offer complementary floats that was really upsetting. Love the transportation from the hotel to the parks/citywalk.

My stay at the Hotel was average, I expected more from the hotel such as cleanliness, comfort and it wouldn't be bad if they added a basic breakfast that was included because the truth is quite expensive.

The Cabana Bay has impeccable service and immaculate rooms and grounds. The location is perfect for going to the parks. My only teeny tiny complaint from this visit is that we booked this hotel because they usually do a Halloween horror nights experience every year in the rec room. That's the only reason I paid a little more to stay here as opposed to anywhere else. And for some reason they just didn't do it this year. They just had a few decorations in the foyer.

2nd stay in the past 6 months. Plenty of food and drink venue choices. Doesn’t feel overcrowded. Appreciated the use of microwaves and toasters in the diner eating section. Hassle free early checkin both stays. Great pool area. Enjoyed the Coke Freestyle option our entire stay.

Took too long to check in but I did not book through your website…next time I will book on Cabana Beach resort website. The gate by my building from the parking area was broken when we checked in but got fixed the night before we left. I was satisfied that it was fixed pretty fast. I will be staying again!!! Excellent service from everyone on the property especially the cleaning crew on 5300 floor during my stay.

We had our 2 year old grandson with us and it was perfect!! The beach pool, lazy river, and water fountain play pad for toddlers made it the best place for us!!! The shuttle to universal was so convenient and a large food court for meals made it a one stop stay. I would recommend this fun place for any families on a vaca to the universal area of Orlando!

This was our second time staying at Cabana Bay. We were at the Bayside this time. Good food options. Spacious rooms. Lots of amenities on the property. Two outdoor pools. Short walk to Volcano Bay and theme park shuttles available. We had a great time!

4.4

Aug 2024

This hotel is convenient, the shuttle service to the park is frequent and the walk to volcano bay is very short. Lots of life guards supervising the 2 pools and the lazy river. Laundry room costing $3 per wash cycle (30 mins) and $3 for the tumble dryers (1 hour), supply your own detergent. The cleanliness could be better, towards the end of the day it was hard to find clean pool towels. The room towels and the pool towels look identical which might explain the yellow stains on the room towels. Toiletries supplied by the hotel are shampoo, conditioner and a bar of soap, so if you want shower gel/body wash take your own. Walls are very thin, so when someone closes the door to their nearby room expect the wall of you room to move. The bed in the room we stayed in was uncomfotable, the mattress had exceeded its life cycle and was in need of replacing. The location of the scanner to release the parking barrier caused confusion for lots of guests given it is low down on the machine and requires most drivers to drive the car to with-in inches of the machine, this often lead to queues getting out of the car park.

The property location was convenient and the bus transportation was quick and easy to the parks. The Volcano bay walking path was a huge plus. I personally got tired of the food in the dining hall but appreciated the convience and quality, especially when we came back from the parks. Since Island of Adventure closes at 10, the food in the dining hall should be available until at least midnight instead of eleven. I must say this hotels cleaning standards were below standard. The floors in the elevators had the same nasty stains all over the floor all 6 days we were there. The hallways on the floor to our room was not vacuumed the whole time either. The pool deck is not washed daily and debris was blown off walkways with gas blowers into sand areas instead of cleaning it up. No free movie features in the room from Universal was disappointing. Average property and cleaning standards need improvement.

Been coming here for the last 5 years its a Great location to Universal. Property is safe, clean and quite. Pool stays open til 11pm great for after the parks. Food is good but should change the menu each day. ALot to do on the property has 2 pools, slide, hot tubs, lazy river, bowling alley and game room. Downside is the parking lot gate always have trouble trying to get in or out of the lot there is always a line of cars because of this. Staff is very easy to communicate all you have to do is text and they reply right away with your needs. You can take the free shuttle to city walk or you can take a nice boat ride from the sister property across the way.

I didn’t like that my room was so far and had to walk a long way just to get to it. I also didn’t like that in the pool for lazy river we had to pay for a tube and with a big group and 5 children we weren’t able to go because of the prices and didn’t get to go :( my babies were so sad. I feel that should be included as much as we paid to stay there and also the hotel should provide some sort of transportation to the rooms since it was so far on the other end! Also the dining area needs to stay opened later!
