Excellent

We love Cabana Bay. This is our fourth stay, to access the parks. All the staff were very friendly and super helpful in all departments. We had a particularly good experience with all the people in the Universal shop (Dwayne, Dharma and everyone else) as we shipped some things that we bought, back home to Australia. We had a lot of questions and they were all very patient and superhelpful over a few days. It all happened very smoothly and the duty managers were exceptional as were the staff.
My only issue would be the amount of processed food available, which made it hard for meals as I’m allergic to a preservative that was in most foods. There wasn’t much access to freshly cooked meals.
Apart from that it is fantastic and great value for money.
Another thing that works well as the bus to the park. The drivers were all terrific and waited if you were running along at the back, wondering if the bus was going to go or not. They always waited. Buses were very frequent.
Highly recommend giving it a try.
What a beautiful resort this is. Great pools, easy access to all the parks, lots of food options on resort and many more at city walk too. (Of course nothing was 'cheap', but if you don't have a car, the options were appreciated). The price point was actually really good too. It is a busy hotel, so not a good choice if you are looking for tranquility. But man, what a fun place for a family on a budget. Would definitely return.

Liked: Cleanliness
The pool would have been great if we had a chance to use it. Closed too early
Great hotel in a great area. Only drawback is that they only clean rooms every other day. So if you are there for two nights they will not clean or change towels. You must call down and ask for fresh towels. I would still recommend this hotel.
