Our room was clean but the shower head barely worked. Having come back from a late night at the park I decided to wait till morning to call. The next morning I called the front desk and explained which they replied they would send someone out to check it. I never got word if they came but we used the shower as is. We saw no difference if they did come out. To add more issues the drain in the sink gurgled so loud it woke us up in the middle of the night. I took a video of this and seriously I was waiting for it to erupt outta there. Needless to say I was not impressed nor happy with the accommodations. I have stayed with them at least 6 times and never had these issues.

Second time at Cabana Bay Resort. We like the rooms and overall cleanliness of the resort. Variety of food at the diner for a few days but get tired of pizza, burger, and chicken options; especially when those are the options at the parks. Easy to park at the resort and just use the Universal park buses to go over to City Walk and Universal. Easy walk to the resort guest entrance at Volcano Bay. Early entry to the parks is a great perk also!

Wonderful stay!
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!

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

Only thing i didn't like, one of the restaurants we visited for food the day we arrived, the food was uncooked. Also, the beds in the room were kind of hard and the pillows - not to comfortable like others hotels I've stayed. But for a few days i guess is fine.
