Loved by Universal'S Cabana Bay Beach Resort guests
"In our opinion, Cabana Bay, with two pools and a lazy river, offers the best combination of pools at either Universal or Disney."
"The resort is so close to the park and I love that there are so many dining options right at your fingertips."
"Their transport to the Universal is very high value, and continuously running across the day and late night."

“This resort impressed me with its dedication to a retro aesthetic and ample family-friendly amenities like pools and a bowling alley; the on-site dining adds to the appeal, though some might find the bus rides to the parks a bit crowded. For families seeking a fun, reasonably priced stay with a unique vibe near Universal, it's a solid option. A little sprucing up of the exteriors, in my view, would elevate the overall impression.”

I liked several pool choices. There were many food choices also. Ping pong tables were available in the sand. The hotel is close to City walk. I felt safe here. Atomic Grille makes a tasty atomic salad with chicken. Gym is great and has what i needed for my stay.
The refillable cups jump from a 3 day option to 7. I wish there was a 4 day option.
