The atmosphere was so friendly and non stressful. Staff was friendly, the rooms were clean and comfortable a really nice place to stay for a great vacation.
went there for a short family trip and stayed here to go to Universal Epic - the resort and pool were fantastic. they had great food options to choose from. would stay there again
I love the retro vibe of the resort. The location is very convenient; located within walking distance using the walking pathway to City walk. Having volcano bay 2 minutes away was a bonus. The buses run regularly without much of a wait.
Overall very good. The cafeteria far exceeded my expectations. Food very good. Very friendly staff. This is the third time we stayed here and never disappointed
This property is awesome. We stayed here for Mother’s Day and this has to be one of the best properties in Orlando. Clean, unique and location is convenient. They have complimentary buses that take you to the parks. Staff is pleasant and welcoming. Great resort!
This resort is wonderful, family oriented and amazing staff from beginning to end. We arrived 4 hours earlier than expected and we were still able to check into our room. The guests are very polite, friendly and nice. Some guests who were leaving passed on their arcade cards and pool floaters. The shake bar, lazy river, pools, fire pits bowling etc were amazing! 💕💕
We had a great stay at cabana bay. The staff and amenities were really great! We enjoyed the pools, water slide and lazy river. As we were packing to go home my suitcase broke and maintenance was able to help. We would definitely stay here again!!
Great experience! Bus service to Universal resorts was fast and easy. Close drive to Disney properties. Resort area was clean with plenty to do. Pools were great! Food service at resort was convenient. Food was average but worth it for ease. Conner and Kathryn were great at check in and throughout stay. Texting feature was great for any questions or needs that arose. Highly recommend!
Family of 5 with conjoined room. Our rooms were nice, spacious and clean. Separate rooms for bathroom and shower with 2 sinks was great.Hotel big so had to use the map they give you to navigate. Pools were nice. Starbucks inside hotel was a bonus. Restaurant was ok, fast food. Shuttles right outside was convenient to get back and forth to parks. Close to airport. We would stay at a universal hotel again. Thank you.
My family enjoyed our mini vacation getaway for Memorial Day weekend. They have amazing pizza for a decent pizza(family size pizza for 26) still had three slices left over for the next day . They have a lazy river on site as well as a regular pool and it stays right next to volcano bay resort you can literally walk there no need for transportation. They have shuttles to near by universal parks . Parking is a 26 dollar fee per night . They also have laundry on site if you are crazy about making sure clothes are cleaned and washed just in case you didn’t bring enough .
This is a great spot to use as home base to visit the parks. We benefited from early entrance, easy access to shuttles and a meal credit in the dining area that catered to many tastes and provided quick and easy meal options.
My only quibble was that the housekeeping was not consistent. Things were clean but sometimes we didn't get facecloths or bath mats. Also not much in the way of toiletries, like body wash, are provided so you have to know to bring your own stuff.
Arrived on Thursday for check in. i was checked in within 10 minutes. Staff was very professional, friendly and helpful. Rooms was clean, neat, and spacious . I enjoyed all the amenities at the resort. There was a bowling alley, but you have to make reservations, because r limited lanes. Also I enjoyed the large arcade, fitness center, lazy river, outside bar and pools. Everything was great. I recommend staying at this resort.
