I had a wonderful experience at Cabana Bay! The 50's theme really gave it a unique charm, and everything was clean and well-maintained. The shuttle service to the Universal parks was exceptional—it was so convenient and we never waited long. However, I did find the food selection limited, especially for dinner. Overall, the hotel offers great value for families, especially with young kids, but they could improve the dining options.

We had an amazing time at this hotel, especially the nostalgic vibe and the fantastic amenities. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location was super convenient for getting to the parks. Although the dining options could be a bit pricey and limited, we had a great experience overall. The pool area was fantastic, but our kids didn't want to sleep on the sofa bed provided, which was a slight downside.

This hotel truly captures the essence of nostalgia with its charming 50s vibe and fantastic amenities. The staff provided remarkable service, particularly at the Atomic Tonic bar, where Scott and Elizabeth went above and beyond. However, early morning coffee options could be improved, and there were a few hiccups with housekeeping. The rooms were comfortable, but the lack of microwaves was noted. Overall, the experience was enjoyable and I would definitely return!

We had a wonderful stay at Cabana Bay. The retro vibe is so fun, and the room was spacious and clean, with comfortable beds. The food options at the diner were satisfying, and the pools were great for spending time. However, check-in was a bit of a hassle, and the parking situation can get hectic, especially on weekends.
