    I would compare this resort to Disney Pop Century or Art of Animation. Cabana Bay is better.

    The elevator in our building stopped working making it difficult to load the car from the 3 floor. I walked down to the next building to use their elevator.

    We got a free room upgrade!! The pool has a slide and lazy river. Bowling is an option. Food availability.

    Beds could have used more pillows. They probably would have brought more pillows if we had asked but I feel that 4 pillows for a queen sized bed should have been standard.

    Close proximity to parks and City Walk. Plenty of bus transportation available. Friendly staff as well.

    Our family suite was facing a parking lot with a lot of traffic. Would’ve liked a room with a view of the pool. The bowling is limited to the amount of people in your group. Since there were only 2 of us they cut us off at 45 minutes even though we had a reservation. Rooms are outdated. Very outdated.

    Breakfast selection is good. A lot of choices and grab and gos! The set up could be better. The food is cold by the time you walk around the barred off area to reach the tables but they do have a microwave at that section. A lot to do! Make s’mores outdoors at the fire pits, pools and a slide for the kids, the lazy river, an arcade, bowling, a very move gift shop. Room was spacious and clean.

    Nothing much, the rooms were slightly dates but it's kind of inkeeping with the theme. Everything was expensive but you kind of know that before booking.

    Lovely hotel close to Universal (part of Universal so this is obvsious). Lot's of extra activities to keep you busy on your rest days from the parks! Great staff and food options, the pool was great for the kids and a nice cool dip at the end of a hot day walking around!

    We’ve stayed at the Cabana Resort twice before, the last time was about 6-7 year’s ago and it seems Universal has let maintenance slip by the wayside. Specifically the vintage car’s out front and the fountain in front of the Starbucks. It would seem to me that keeping up the vintage auto’s would be paramount since the whole theme of the resort is built around the Mid Century style and these are your showpieces. Seems it would be an advantage to have an “period attired”service station attendant maintaining them as performance as well as actually keeping the vehicle’s pristine.

    Location, theme, pools and amenities, shuttle’s to the parks

    The shower head was too high to easily adjust and the spray was uncomfortable. There was not a full service restaurant available during our stay except for the bowling alley had a limited menu that was full service. The food options in general were limited. We were in building eight which was about a 5 minute walk to the mail building. No one told us if there was a way to go through the other buildings. It was cold at night and rained one night. That made it difficult ti go for a snack.

    The staff are amazing. The room was a good size and the bed was very comfortable.

    The shower water pressure was weak. The parking lot boxes to scan your ley card did not work well. Had to scan my key multiple times each time to get out. One time I had to turn around and go to another gate.

    Loved the food options and all the amenities. Buses to park were always on time. Never waited more than 5 minutes. Great experience!
