Disliked: Amenities
This property is more outdated than the other Universal properties. Our refrigerator was broken, the remote control to the TV did not work, the telephone did not have a dial tone, the tub spout was broken causing issues with our abilty to toggle between tub/shower, and the pools were just not as "cool" as the reviews and pictures claim. The food was just so-so and the soda in the fountains was flat! We've stayed at other Universal properties and Cabana Bay is definitely our least favorite. We were happy with the proximity to the parks though.

Family fun at Cabana Bay!
Always a fun, nostalgic family vibe at Cabana Bay!! We love the conveniences like the free shuttle to the parks with early admission, the grab-n-go food and Starbucks on site. Great for kids with its bonfires for s'mores, arcade, bowling alley etc. I love the tvs playing vintage commercials. Rooms are clean, comfy no frills.

After coming from staying at a Disney property, Cabana Bay Resort was somewhat disappointing. First off, you have to pay extra for every little thing it seems, from parking to pool rafts! The shower barely had any water pressure, and the walls are paper thin, as we listened to our neighbors late at night and early in the morning. Otherwise, the room was clean and the property grounds were nice with the restaurants and pools!

I love this property because it really brings out the kid in me. However, it is overpriced with nothing, NOTHING included in the price. You pay additional for everything and the prices are a bit higher than you need for a property near universal with shuttles. However, it is beautiful, very convenient to Volcano Bay and has some nice on property amenities.

The pillow's excessive softness renders it uncomfortable. The shower's water pressure is inadequately low, resulting in a slippery bath floor that led to my daughter's fall, causing harm to her arms and buttocks. A far-from-satisfactory experience.
