Universal'S Cabana Bay Beach Resort - Orlando

2-star value resort with exclusive early park admission and retro-themed family fun in Orlando

Retro-Themed Resort with On-Site Recreation

Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort is a family-friendly hotel built around a 1950s and 1960s beach resort theme. The property has two zero-entry pools, a lazy river, and a water slide that spans both pool areas. Inside the resort, a 10-lane bowling alley (fees apply) doubles as a dining venue and entertainment option for guests.

Accommodations for Families and Groups

The hotel offers traditional rooms, poolside rooms, and spacious family suites with fully equipped kitchenettes and separate living areas. Family suites can accommodate up to six guests, making them a practical choice for larger groups. All rooms include a 40-inch flat-screen cable TV, and guests can choose between Americana- or Continental-themed wings.

Location & Park Access

Cabana Bay is situated right next to Universal Volcano Bay, with a dedicated walking path to that water park. Guests receive early park admission to all four Universal Orlando theme parks, allowing entry up to one hour before the general public (valid theme park admission required). The hotel provides a complimentary shuttle service to Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, Epic Universe, and Universal CityWalk.

Dining & Entertainment On-Site

The Bayliner Diner offers a food court with burgers, pizza, sandwiches, and milkshakes, along with a made-to-order omelet station in the morning. The Galaxy Bowl Restaurant serves meals alongside the bowling alley, and a coffee house (Starbucks) is located in the lobby. Additional options include pool bars (Atomic Tonic and Swizzle Lounge), a Shake Shop open until midnight, and pizza delivery to rooms from 11 a.m. to midnight.

Family-Friendly Amenities

The outdoor pool area includes a shallow-end kids' pool, a water slide, and a lazy river where guests can float on tubes purchased on-site. Movie nights are held poolside, and the game room offers table tennis and arcade games for all ages. Guests also have access to a fitness center, hot tubs, poolside cabanas available for rent, and a laundry room for longer stays.
