We arrived very early, were told our room was ready. Upon arriving at our room (a long walk from check-in) the keys did not work. I left my kids (older kids, don’t worry) and went back to the desk. As the desk attendant was questioning me about the keys, my daughter called to report that there were people in the room (she could hear talking). The desk person assured me that nobody was in the room, it had been empty and not assigned. My daughter insisted she could hear talking, the desk assigned us a new room and said security would check. There were people in the room (squatters?) and it was a bizarre situation. Our new room is farther away, has a view but is very dirty looking. We have stayed here years ago and liked it - this is not the same place! Ick, I don’t want to sleep on the bed and it smells faintly like urine. We are only staying one night, but I want to leave! The theme is very cute but it’s in desperate need of a full overhaul. Save your money and go elsewhere- I would run if I could.

"DONT PICK THIS PLACE"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed May 06, 2025 NEW
Read this before you stay. May 2025. We always stay at Dockside but thought we would pay extra to stay at Cabana Bay. This place is a dump. We paid extra for a family suite. It’s a dump. Landlord paint special. Furniture is torn and colored on with marker. Blankets were dirty. Tried to order pizza after hours and it was a nightmare. I’m scared to eat it honestly. Everything is old. Ordered ribs by the pool and DONT DO IT. High priced and they were crazy dry, black and burned to crap. Think back to that one hotel stay you’ve had in the past that you would NEVER go back to and how dumpy it was… welcome to Cabana Bay. This place is total garbage and should be leveled into a parking lot. I cannot believe they charge more than dockside and surfside for this. Those value hotels compared to this dump are superior. You might read this and think, oh this is just one persons opinion, but we travel a lot and what a dump this place is. Not to mention as I’m reading this I got charged 10.00 more than the advertised price of 15.00 per pizza. We ordered 2 and just got charged 40.00. THIS PLACE IS A DUMP and a scam. Universal should be ashamed to be affiliated with this place. Disney will bring you a full 16 inch pizza for 20ish dollars. (2) 10 inch pizzas from this dump for 40.00…. Unreal. So upset. Such a terrible hotel to bring your family. DONT DO IT! We can’t even close our fridge because the counter is warped and the fridge door hits the wood framing around it.

My boyfriend & I had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary at Cabana Bay! The resort was so much fun & there were so many things to do. It’s in a great location just steps away from volcano bay and city walk at a great price. A special shout out to Jayme at The Hideaway Bar and Lakayla at the front desk. They made our stay so special! Highly recommend.
