Family fun at Cabana Bay!
Always a fun, nostalgic family vibe at Cabana Bay!! We love the conveniences like the free shuttle to the parks with early admission, the grab-n-go food and Starbucks on site. Great for kids with its bonfires for s'mores, arcade, bowling alley etc. I love the tvs playing vintage commercials. Rooms are clean, comfy no frills.

OKay
They only clean room every other day. They should let us know when we checked in. They also should check all fireplace daily before dark. We had to call for service to have them fixed but took too long. We ended up finding one working to cook mushmallow for the kids.

Plenty to do and a great base.
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.

Great Hotel
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.

Disappointing stay and a not inexpensive resort!
I accept that the hotel has an "every other day" policy related to housekeeping for guest rooms. Our room was missed or skipped on our assigned day, so I called the desk well before they were done for the day. I was told my room would be put in the queue for cleaning. When I returned to my room later in the evening, it had still not been touched. I called again the very next morning and was again told we'd be attended too, even though it wasn't our day! Seriously - you see I called previously! Later in the day I returned to find a bag of towels and other items dropped on the floor - bed still unmade, trash overflowing, etc. Completely disappointed! At that point, I needed to get ready for dinner and didn't want to be disturbed!

Wonderful stay!
Hotel room, lobby, pool area, and eating areas were very clean (only 3 days after Hurricane Milton!). The front desk staff were very helpful and nice. We requested a few things via text and they were delivered immediately. The Bayliner food was very good and very reasonable for the quality and amount. They also had grab and go things available. Kids loved the pool area with a slide, lazy river, and 2 pools. Parents loved the 2 hot tubs! Wonderful stay! I highly recommend it!

I really enjoy this place specially because it’s close to the theme parks and CityWalk but what I don’t like about it is how you have to use your room key to get into the pool area when your hands are full wish they could figure out a better system for that

Nice Place - Waiting on Downgrade Refund
The stay was great and I downgraded to get a volcano view standard room. They said that they would have to work with Hotels.com to refund me and I have yet to hear from Hotels.com regarding my refund, so that is a little concerning.
