Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort, a 3-star retro-themed hotel inspired by 1950s and 60s beach resorts, features two massive swimming pools, a lazy river, and a 10-lane bowling alley.

Spacious Family Accommodations

Cabana Bay Beach Resort offers 2200 themed rooms, from 300-square-foot standard rooms with two queen beds to 430-square-foot family suites with kitchenettes. Family suites include three-person bathroom preparation spaces and sliding privacy partitions between bedroom and living areas.

Multiple Dining Options

The Bayliner Diner food court serves international dishes, made-to-order pizzas, and build-your-own salads. Galaxy Bowl Restaurant provides table service dining with burgers and wings, while Starbucks(R) in the lobby offers coffee and fresh snacks.

Pool Recreation Complex

Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort features two distinct pool areas: Cabana Courtyard with a dive tower-themed waterslide and interactive play area, and Lazy River Courtyard with tube rentals and fire pits. The property includes a Jack LaLanne Physical Fitness Studio and Game-O-Rama arcade.

Theme Park Access

Located in International Drive, the hotel provides early park admission to Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. Guests access Universal CityWalk's dining and entertainment complex via complimentary shuttle service.

“Cabana Bay stands out with its playful retro aesthetic, a nostalgic nod to mid-century beach resorts. Its proximity to Universal's theme parks is a major draw, especially given the added perk of early park admission. For families, the spacious suites and vibrant pool areas-complete with a lazy river-make it a solid, value-conscious choice, while the on-site bowling alley adds a unique entertainment option.”
