"Cabana Bay, 2 stars at best"
TripAdvisor user rating 2.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 13, 2026 NEW
Really looked forward to staying there, and what a bust. My wife is a huge MCM fan and this hotel did not live up anywhere near to the hype. I understand it’s not a five star resort or even a four star, but I shouldn’t expect to see things that I would see in a Motel 6. From exterior doors not responding to key cards, to multiple Coke freestyle machines not working properly and complaining to management multiple times about it, to doors in our room that looked like they had been knawed on by animals, ending in a glorious mold smell at the door to the room. Lastly, it is 2026, how do you have rooms with NO USB charge ports???? I just stayed at a Hampton Inn in Ohio that had no less than 6 USB charging ports.

"Budget hotel at a mid level cost."
TripAdvisor user rating 2.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 12, 2026 NEW
We had a rough start to our trip. We requested a accessible room with a roll in shower on a low floor. When we arrived we were on the 4th floor and the room was down right disgusting. After a trip back to the front desk we were informed they wouldn't have another room until the next day which was very inconvenient since we had plans for a family outing that day. Our room was changed to the lower floor but unfortunately it was at the opposite end of where the accessible ramps were. Hotels seem to think accessibility is a choice, not a necessity. Staff were all very friendly and helpful and hotel was in a good location. We would not stay here again. When you are paying $250+ a night for a hotel you at least expect your dirty towels to be picked up and replaced with new.

"Fun Resort! A few glitches."
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 07, 2026 NEW
We went on a family trip to Universal Studios and stayed at this resort for two nights. The rooms were extremely clean, I liked it that they provide shampoo and conditioner in dispensers. The bed was very comfortable. My favorite was that they give you a number to call if you need extra towels, coffee, pillows, etc. The pool and lazy river are heated and very comfortable for swimming in January. They sell floats but will also inflate the ones you bring from home. The restaurant was fun, we ate breakfast and dinner there. Not great food, but good and not too expensive for a resort. The repetitive 60's commercials they show in the lobby are fun the first day, after that you wish they had some variety. The Malt Shoppe is very good. There is a fire pit and you can purchase s'mores kits, or bring your own. The bars make very good, but very expensive drinks. There were a few glitches. My son's card never worked for the gates, my husbands was hit and miss. There is no way to call the lobby to ask a question which necessitated an unnecessary trip to the lobby only to find out that the desk we needed was closed. There is a retro phone and clock in the room, but they are for show only. Neither one worked although they tell you that you can order pizza from the phone? We ran out of time and did not go to the bowling alley. I would suggest staying an extra day just to enjoy the resort as the park will keep you busy all day.

"Very good family resort with excellent location and transport to Universal parks"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 07, 2026 NEW
We stayed at Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort for 7 days with our family at the end of December and beginning of January, and overall we had a very positive experience. The hotel is very large, clean and well maintained. Rooms are bright, spacious and comfortable, and the whole resort has a nice retro style. The location is excellent, especially for Volcano Bay, which is within walking distance. Shuttle transportation to Universal parks is extremely well organized, with frequent buses. We also used the hotel as a base for visiting Disney parks and it worked perfectly fine. The reception area is usually busy, so sometimes you have to wait a bit for check-in or assistance, but overall we didn’t have any issues that really needed to be solved. Elevators are fast and efficient, which is important in such a large hotel. The resort has two pools and a lazy river, which the kids really enjoyed. The food court is more cafeteria-style. The food is mostly burgers, pizza and mac and cheese. There are also some ready-made salads and sandwiches, but nothing particularly special in terms of food quality. Therefore we did eat there only one day. Parking is large but paid separately, which is something to keep in mind. Overall, a very good and practical choice for families visiting Universal and Disney parks. We would definitely stay here again.
