Great Family Dining

During my stay at Cabana Bay, the Bayliner Diner was a true highlight. The relaxed atmosphere and affordable menu made it a perfect spot for family meals. We enjoyed delicious omelettes and pancakes every morning, which our kids loved. The price was reasonable for what we got, and it helped keep our dining budget on track while at the park. I highly recommend it for families!

Fun Pool Experience

The pools at Cabana Bay were fantastic for both relaxation and fun! My kids enjoyed splashing around while I appreciated the presence of lifeguards ensuring safety. We spent hours at the family pool, which had a great vibe. On one of our quieter days, we even tried out the lazy river, which was a nice addition to our pool time. Perfect for family fun!

Comfortable Family Suite

We opted for the family suite during our visit, and it was perfect for us! The layout with a separate living area provided ample space for our family. The kitchenette was a lifesaver, allowing us to prepare quick meals. The clean and cozy environment made it feel like a home away from home. I believe it played a big role in our comfort during our stay!

Kids' Paradise

Cabana Bay Beach Resort is ideal for families with children! My kids loved the enormous pools and various activities available throughout the hotel. The arcade and bowling alley were unexpected treats that kept them entertained during our downtime. It felt like a vacation designed specifically for families with young ones; I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

I had a lovely stay at this resort, with clean and spacious rooms that offered a great view of the nearby Volcano Bay. The family-friendly atmosphere and fun amenities like the pools and arcade were fantastic. However, I was disappointed when the cleaners entered our room early, which left a bad impression. It would have been nice to have more options at the food court as well.

Our family had a great time overall, especially enjoying the flexibility to explore both Universal and Disney. The pool area was lovely and provided a nice space to unwind. However, I was a bit disappointed with the cleanliness of some areas, particularly the elevators, which really should have been better maintained. Additionally, the food options left a lot to be desired, making it feel more like a budget hotel.
