Cabana Bay Beach Resort

Updated 7/30/2022 - Be sure to request a resort guide at the front desk so that you can have the most up-to-date information about resort happenings and schedules.

Enjoy vibrant, retro style with rooms and suites brilliantly designed for fun and affordability at Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort. Relax with a splash, surrounded by amazing iconic architecture inspired by classic Florida beach resorts of the 1950s and 60s and sample a variety of options in the incredible food court. Every day comes with fun for all ages with two massive pools, a winding river, a bowling alley, and more.

Cabana Bay Beach Resort offers standard rooms with two queen beds that sleep up to four guests. Family suites sleep up to six guests with two queen beds and a pull out sofa. The suite includes a sliding privacy partition and a compartmentalized bathroom layout so that three people can get ready at once. The suites include a kitchenette with a mini refrigerator, a microwave, and a sink.

If you have your car with you, overnight self parking costs $18 per vehicle per night. 

Cabana Bay also has some really nice dining options. The Bayliner Diner is a food court area with selections that include deli items, pizzas, burgers, and desserts. The Hideaway Bar & Grill is just steps away from the lazy river and you can find snacks and meals here, along with frozen drinks and adult beverages. Atomic Tonic is located on the Cabana Courtyard pool deck and serves sandwiches, wraps, salads, and Doner kebabs along with a variety of beverages. The Galaxy Bowl Restaurant has a full menu that includes made-to-order sandwiches, hamburgers, pizza, chicken wings, and more. You can chill out with a refreshing collection of cocktails and snacks at the Swizzle Lounge, located in the hotel’s lobby. If you require your morning (or noon, or night) coffee fix, stop by Starbucks, located just off of the resort’s lobby. Pizza delivery is also available during limited hours.

Cabana Bay does not lack in the pool and activity department! The Cabana Courtyard pool has its very own dive tower-themed water slide, poolside bar and grill, cabanas for rent, shaded picnic tables and a large fire pit. The Lazy River Courtyard pool features a winding river, sand beach, poolside bar and grill, two fire pits, and plenty of outdoor seating to soak up the Florida sunshine. 

Galaxy Bowl is the resort’s very own bowling alley featuring ten lanes of ten-pin action. There is an additional fee to bowl.

The Jack LaLanne Physical Fitness Studio lets you get in shape surrounded by memorabilia of the famed television physical fitness pioneer. The fitness studio is complimentary for resort guests. 

You can also take advantage of arcade favorites at Game-O-Rama. Additional charges apply. And if shopping is your thing, visit the Universal Studios Store located just off of the resort lobby.

Why stay at Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort?
  • Guests enjoy early admission to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter
  • It’s just steps away from Universal’s Volcano Bay water theme park
  • Enjoy fun, free, and easy transportation to the parks using shuttle buses and walking paths
  • They provide resort-wide charging privileges
  • There are surprise character appearances
  • You can have your theme park purchases delivered to the resort
Our thoughts on Cabana Bay Beach Resort:

Suzanne recently stayed in an exterior entry family suite and last year, we toured the interior entry family suite. Suzanne says that the interior entry suite is much brighter and that she prefers it to the exterior entry suite.

The Volcano Bay View rooms have the best views not only of Cabana Bay, but maybe of all of the Universal Resorts. If you do not require a family suite, this view is well worth the upgrade.

 

Guests staying at Cabana Bay should plan a non-park day to enjoy the pools and lazy river. And if it’s a rainy day, guests can always spend some time bowling at Galaxy Bowl.

Gaston's Tavern Giant Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls are a must for me at Christmas and this is one of my favorite recipes for look-alike Gaston’s Tavern Giant Cinnamon Rolls! I found it on Inside the Magic , so all recipe credit belongs to them, but I have copied it below with some of my commentary and photos of my step by step process. Homemade cinnamon rolls are always going to be a bit time consuming, but these only have to proof for 40 minutes total so it’s really not bad at all! First things first, here are the materials you’re going to need: Mixer (one with a dough hook will make your life much much easier) and bowl Rubber scrapers Rolling pin 2-3 saucepans Microwave safe bowls An area big enough to roll them out 2 metal sheet pans with edges Measuring cups Measuring spoons Medium sized bowl for filling Liquid measuring cup The nice thing about the recipe is it uses pretty basic ingredients that you likely already have at your house. I went to Aldi and bought nearly everything just to see and it was about $20. A...
