staff at checking in was rude and dismissive. Not personal at all! Was appalled when I asked if they had valet parking. No one was out front to tell you anything. If I had not already prepaid I would have left after how I was treated at check in!! NOT WELCOMING at all. Spoke with management and they did nothing about anything. Just listened that’s it. I would never stay at this property again!! Hall ways smelled like a boys locker room. Staff was short didn’t acknowledge guests. Water pressure was awful took for ever to get hot water. Back parking lot was unsafe! Made you feel like someone was going to jump out at you. This place is not for families! Pool area was dirty no towels and no place to sit. Garbage and dirt in and around the pools and in the pools and in other standing water around the facility! For 300.00 a night I could have stayed at a nicer facility! This place is horrible!!!! Expedia needs to stop selling their hotels. Don’t waste your money here GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!!!

Convenient location for volcano bay and east transportation to the park. Rooms are large with plenty of space. Easy access to the pools and main dining. Facilities are well Maintained by the two jacuzzis are very small for the size of the property. Gym is limited with more than 10 people. Staff was not always pleasant early in the morning and food presentation didn’t match the pictures on the overheads.

Beautiful. So much to do on sight. I only wish I had more time there to explore more of the hotel. Would definitely be a great place even on a raining day since there’s an arcade, bowling alley, and the biggest hotel gym I’ve ever seen.

We had such a great stay at Cabana Bay! Would recommend to anyone with a family - the pools, slide and lazy river were a blast. Arcade and bowling alley on site give good options for a rainy day. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because having one more restaurant to eat at would've been great. They have a glorified cafeteria and a pool side grill, but we would've liked a sit down/be served restaurant on site without having to go to City Walk to find it. Having free shuttle to City Walk was wonderful, and a direct walkway connection to Volcano Bay was amazing. We took advantage of the early admission times at Volcano Bay & Universal Theme Parks - huge plus of staying at a Universal Resort!
