A look at the beautiful Cabana Bay Beach Resort on Universal Orlando Resort along with what is included with your stay.
On our recent trip to Universal Orlando Resort, we stayed at the Cabana Bay Beach Resort. This resort is part of the Universal Orlando Resort. It is a short walk to Universal’s Volcano Bay and a walk or bus ride to the theme parks.
The hotel has a vibrant, retro-style feel with architecture and theming inspired by the 1950s and 60s. The front of the hotel is lined with vintage vehicles and contains a bowling alley, two massive pools with a lazy river, and more.
The Rooms
Our room had a cute retro vibe with two queen beds. It has a split bathroom which I love because it allows multiple people to get ready at the same time.
There is a mini-fridge in the tv stand which is great to hold bottles of water and a coffee pot for your morning brew. Be sure to check out the retro details in the room like the stationary supplies and the bath products.
