Good Bang For Your Buck!

Cabana Bay is a decent moderately priced hotel that’s perfect for families looking to stay on the Universal property. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable, and the customer service was extremely friendly and helpful. I was bummed that the hot tub at our main pool was broken for the entire three nights stay and the only other hot tub and use was extremely tiny and a good Seven minute walk away from our hotel room—not convenient! I was also saddened to learn that they no longer pump music into the underwater speakers at the Hideaway pool! That was a feature. I really liked when I stayed here almost 2 years ago, and I had hyped it up so much to my son. It was a major disappointment when we learned it was no longer in service! We experienced a little snafu regarding a hotel staff member giving us inaccurate information about what restaurants were still open after 11 PM when we arrived the first night, however; the hotel management made it right by comping us a couple of meals on site. Drinks at the Hideaway bar were delicious and served with a smile and the food in the diner is quite good! I love how it’s open until 11 PM— super convenient for late night eaters and night owls in our family! All in all, I would definitely stay here again with my family if we were going to Universal!

Staff was kind at check in, finding our building was a bit difficult at night- would be nice to have more signs that can be seen driving at night to the beachside building. There was a very annoying noise - almost sounded like humming or a phone vibrating all night long for both of our night-had to blast brown noise so we could sleep . Both nights our hot water didn’t work and there were sugar ants on our bathroom counter. I killed the ants multiple times but they kept coming back. Hot water was suppose to be fixed when we were at movie on the lawn but it was still cold when we got back and our kids took cold showers which didn’t make our end of the night befor bed go smoothly and calm. And of the long days taking a cold shower to relax wasn’t nice at all .. I spoke with front desk and appreciate the apology but it still wasn’t pleasant at all.. bowling, arcade and pool bars and fire pits were nice things to do
