Nice golden age theme

2200 rooms and very spread out. It has everything you need to have a good time. Price was reasonable. Plan on walking if your room is at the end of the property. Plenty of pools, sand, food and beverages.... It has shuttle to and from the parks, which is very nice. Park and not having to drive around has its perks. We will stay here again.
Great experience all-around. Hats off to Universal Orlando!

Had an amazing 29th birthday here! My partner and I are FL Resident AP holders, and I decided to book 2 nights at Cabana Bay about a month out in advance. This is my 2nd time staying here, and this time w...as in the Bayliner Tower, which I was excited about. The walk can be lengthy to get to the lobby and Garden Walk to the parks, but that is okay! If you are doing Volcano Bay, 10000% recommend staying in one of the towers, as you have your own private entrance to the park. Madison at check-in provided world-class service. She even gave me a free birthday ice cream voucher and was all around a delight. The room was spacious, and had a view of Velocicoaster. The theming at this resort is top-notch (very charming) and it carries over well into the room. Beds were comfy. Lots of TV channels, as well. We didn’t make use of the lazy river and/or pool(s), but Universal did a great job with the design and amenities. The Bayliner Diner is decent for a meal or a quick bite. The quality of the food is not stellar by any means, but it gets the job done (for a price). Really love walking to the parks or hopping on the water taxi at Sapphire Falls. The only (minimal) critiques I have are that some wear-and-tear is showing in spots - a lot of signage could be cleaned and updated around the resort, and there is still some trash on the pathways leftover that I noticed from the previous day. Overall - great! Would stay here again.
