Hey Dev, thank you for all of your amazing videos and content. I really look forward to taking time out of my day to watch your videos. Keep up the great work
Hands down Dev you give the best detail tours I've ever seen my family and I thank you we are planning a lot of arrangements for next year because of your videos
Oh my gosh so glad you mentioned the noise EARLY from the waterpark ! I love Cabana Bay and the volcano view rooms have a great view but when you're staying out late you don't want to be woken up at 7am. I'm a heavy sleeper and it woke me up!
We took a family vacay here a few years ago and the kids loved it!!! The walk to Volcano Bay is nice!!!! They also loved in house bowling alley!!!! They are very affordable! Not like the other guys(Disney) “Value”, these are actually priced well!!!!
Universal defo stepping up and I bet there loving you giving your honest opinion on Disney. Universal will be light years ahead of Disney soon, I can’t wait. It will serve Disney right.
Just came back from 3 nights & 4 days @ Cabana Bay. Stayed in Beachside Building 10th floor with Volcano Bay View. Family & I enjoyed it & was worth getting Volcano Bay View.
We were considering staying here on our next trip to Florida. This has been a very informative video and now we’ve moved it to the top of our list. Thank you!
Myself and my son met you and Bianca at volcano bay a couple of days ago. What a pleasure it was. After watching your videos whilst we were unable to get to Orlando and then meeting you both and just how lovely and happy to chat you both were has made our holiday ❤️
I just made reservations for mid-June; this place is totally awesome. We had so much fun in May of last year it was a no brainer on where to stay. You are staying in just about the same room we were in in May!
My family stayed here on our last trip we loved the proximity to volcano bay. My son loved the retro vibes I didn't really like the aesthetic, but the soaps brought me back to my 80's childhood and that was fun. My fam uses the cups for water but we don't make coffee.
Hi Dev, we’ve booked a Volcano Bay view room for our stay from the UK next February, coming for 14 days. We can not wait!! Thanks for the information - just reiterated why we chose this resort! Thanks again! 😀
I love Cabana Bay too! I'd say that's my go-to for Universal since it's usually very reasonably priced, lots of great amenities, great for my daughter, walking path to the secret security entrance to the parks 😀 we've stayed there more than any other Universal resort and it checks A LOT of our boxes!
We use always the coffeemachine in the room 😊 No morning with rope drop without coffee 😅😅😅 Or just grab some Voodoo doughnuts and enjoy them with a nice cup of coffee relaxing on the bed 😉😊 It is also much cheaper than a black Coffee at Starbucks...😅🤷♀️😉
I can’t wait to live NYC for a week this August and enjoy this hotel. Been watching your videos for a while now. Watching your other cabana bay video made me book this hotel for out family vacation. CANT WAIT!!
I have only been able to stay at Cabana Bay twice and so love it!!! We now stay at Dockside due to the suite rooms. But, Cabana Bay is great due to you can also walk to Sapphire Falls and ride the boat in or it is a beautiful walk over to the park too.
We’ve stayed here a few times and we absolutely love it! The staff is always amazing and we just love the amenities! The price is never that bad as well, especially off season. We also love the walk to universal by the water! It’s a great place to stay for HHN 👻 Ty for the tour! I loved seeing it again! Love, peace and chicken grease 😝
We always use coffee pot. I liked endless summer resort for families because it has a microwave and sink. That is everything when you kids want mac and cheese
It was really great running into you at islands of adventure the other day at the comic strip Cafe. Jenny and I really appreciated you taking time to talk to us. We are spending our vacation between universal and Disney. And have utilized your advice on more than one trip down here. Chris
Yes it was so nice meeting you both and talking for a bit. I’m glad to hear you are enjoying both theme parks and you plan on returning for some more fun.
I love that resort hotel. It's more nostalgic and emotional despite not having the pedigree of the ritzy Royal and Portofino hotels. The food is exceptional from the Bay Liner specially if they're not feeding armies of schools. I'd book whenever the school is on.
I love Cabana Bay Beach Resort. I’ve stayed there about 4 out of 5 of my family’s on site Universal vacations (we stayed at Lowes Royal Pacific on our last trip). I love the 2 pools, views, rooms, food court, amenities, convenient walk way path and entrance to Volcano Bay. The staff are always super nice and helpful. We get the refillable cups for the entire stay every time, it’s definitely worth the money. The gym is awesome. FYI, You can only hear the Volcano Bay bell and music in the two towers next to it btw not in the other rooms
We don't drink coffee but I (Ann Marie not Tim) made coffee for my mom once at a hotel. Apparently I did a horrible job, her face said it all.😁 Love your videos. So much variety.
The only hotel I ever stayed at was Hard Rock and it was so expensive... I've been wanting to check out these value universal hotels, maybe this year...
I’m seriously thinking about this resort for our next Orlando vacation we loved Port Orleans and Disney but I keep thinking we should try Universal because my daughter loves Minions. My friend she stayed here with her older kids and loved it!!!
Stayed there once and probably never again. The atmosphere was great along with the wave pool but the beds werent that comfortable and the walls were thin. Heard a couple go at it around 2 a.m. Safe to say we couldnt go back to sleep. Thank god my 3 year old is a heavy sleeper.
Hi Dev and Bianca! Always excited to see a new video from you!!! We can't wait to be there in Florida! It's been a few years since we've gone to Volcano Bay so we're looking forward to being there and Universal! Someday we plan to stay at Cabana Bay and try it because of your amazing videos! Blessings to you, and everyone else watching😊!
What a gorgeous view, especially at night. This resort looks like it would be fun. Definitely giving us more to think about! Were you actually able to see some of Disney’s fireworks? As usual thank you for a great, informative and honest review! Keep doing what your doing!!!
I love this resort! You're right about the colors Dev, they are beautiful. We got stuck in Florida in 2018 due to weather and we couldn't get another flight for 3 days. The resort was able to accommodate us and we had the best time. Love the theme and all the activities available especially the bowling! Yes, we do use the coffee maker.
Hi Dev! Do you know if you can use the Cabana Bay's Lazy River and Pool if you're staying in another Universal resort? (for example, Aventura). Thank you! Melisa
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I always wondered if it would be worth it to do a resort staycation when we live 2 hours away. This is the first that seems reasonable enough in price with some great perks.
First time ever using a coffee maker in a hotel this weekend at cabana bay. Luckily it was with a new coffee maker because the one in the room did not work.
@@PCDev I love the autotrain! It’s travels only from Lorton VA to Sanford FL. My hubby works for Amtrak as a mechanic. I can use the regular trains and go anywhere for free. We have to pay for the auto train. He gets reimbursed except for the $200 auto insurance. I love the ride. It’s pretty quiet for the most part but if you or other passengers nocturnal, they’re up walking at night back and forth to the lounge/snack areas. The rocking reminds me of my Navy days stationed on a ship, so I’m asleep most of the 16 hour trip. Definitely give it a try!
Hi Dev, im sandra from Argentina, i will be there next february, we are two adults, which hotel do you recomend us, cabana o Aventura? Thanks for your videos we make us so happy!
Hello Sandra! I like both hotels but for two adults I would recommend Aventura just because there’s a little bit more to do for adults like bar 17 bistro the rooftop bar.
My daughter and I LOVE this resort. We had a room next to the pool and we had so much fun. I recommend this resort too!
Hey Dev, thank you for all of your amazing videos and content. I really look forward to taking time out of my day to watch your videos. Keep up the great work
This made my day reading this. Thank you for the support!
I am obsessed with the theming of this hotel!!! And that view, wow!!
You are a Hufflepuff!!!! Epic haha
Cabana Bay is 100% our favourite resort and hope we can go back soon!!
Hands down Dev you give the best detail tours I've ever seen my family and I thank you we are planning a lot of arrangements for next year because of your videos
Oh my gosh so glad you mentioned the noise EARLY from the waterpark ! I love Cabana Bay and the volcano view rooms have a great view but when you're staying out late you don't want to be woken up at 7am. I'm a heavy sleeper and it woke me up!
We stayed in the Americana bldg which is not as close as the towers and we still heard the drums from volcano bay.. mornings were rough lol
We took a family vacay here a few years ago and the kids loved it!!! The walk to Volcano Bay is nice!!!! They also loved in house bowling alley!!!! They are very affordable! Not like the other guys(Disney) “Value”, these are actually priced well!!!!
Love Cabana Bay stayed one night in November and was shocked at how gorgeous it was!!!!
Thank you for bringing back beautiful memories!
Universal defo stepping up and I bet there loving you giving your honest opinion on Disney. Universal will be light years ahead of Disney soon, I can’t wait. It will serve Disney right.
Great vlog, to answer your coffee question, we love our in room coffee maker, use them everyday.
One of my favorite resorts. First trip my wife and I took we stayed there
Just came back from 3 nights & 4 days @ Cabana Bay. Stayed in Beachside Building 10th floor with Volcano Bay View. Family & I enjoyed it & was worth getting Volcano Bay View.
3:47 I always use the coffee ☕️ machine
I love staying at Cabana Bay I stayed there 6 years ago and I really enjoyed it I want to go back and I want to stay there again
Thank you for sharing your videos with us
We were considering staying here on our next trip to Florida. This has been a very informative video and now we’ve moved it to the top of our list. Thank you!

The view is beautiful! Nice area for the kids to enjoy. The pool OMG! Loving this resort. A lot to enjoy have fun and be safe. Thanks for sharing
Booking this for July!!!! I'll have an Old Fashion thanks!
we just stayed here before and after a cruise. the beds were so soft. we used the coffee pot for hot water for instant oat meal. its my favorite hotel
Hey Dev! Awesome! A Universal Hotel tour! Very cool!
Thank you Brian!
I just made reservations for mid-June; this place is totally awesome. We had so much fun in May of last year it was a no brainer on where to stay. You are staying in just about the same room we were in in May!
Your voice is always so calming. Love your videos. :)
Ty

Just stayed there last weekend. Best resort and my daughter loves it! It's her fave resort. She loves the pools and lazy river. Great vid!
Another great video! You do an amazing job and your videos are fantastic!
Thanks for this GREAT Video! I will be there at the end of September!👍
My GF always uses the coffee machines when were on vacation!

Thank you so much for sharing I will be there on the 13th of this month. Glad to know what to look forward to at the Resort and resort room
Hi Dev, we’ve booked a Volcano Bay view room for our stay from the UK next February, coming for 14 days. We can not wait!! Thanks for the information - just reiterated why we chose this resort! Thanks again! 😀
Nice grounds Devin , loved the shop as well
I respect that you are one of the only Disney tubers that actually criticizes them. Bunch of groomers
I love the Disney resorts but I need to check out these universal ones too. Looks beautiful!
Great video. So helpful and practical. Thank you.
This is amazing i love it
Wow I loved it, your view was amazing 🤩
Your videos are the best
Thank you Edward! Have a great day.
@@PCDev your welcome 🙏🏾 and you too
Thanks for all the great info as always. : )
Wow thanks Dev, this place looks so beautiful 😍
I love these! This resort tour was so cool, always look forward to your videos! 😃🙌

Keep up the good work.
I stayed in that EXACT room in December. Super cool to see the exact room again
Do you recall the room number? The view looks great. Thanks.
@@VMEDR001-pb3fx I don’t! But if you book a volcano bay view (they’re more expensive) your view will be the same!
Thanks for responding. 👍
I love this hotel it’s usually 3 or 4 of us and we get the joining rooms or the 2 suites . They do a great Job here 👍 universal
Loved this review. Taking my kids to volcano bay this summer. This was definitely helpful. Thank you!!
We use always the coffeemachine in the room 😊 No morning with rope drop without coffee 😅😅😅 Or just grab some Voodoo doughnuts and enjoy them with a nice cup of coffee relaxing on the bed 😉😊 It is also much cheaper than a black Coffee at Starbucks...😅🤷♀️😉
I can’t wait to live NYC for a week this August and enjoy this hotel. Been watching your videos for a while now. Watching your other cabana bay video made me book this hotel for out family vacation. CANT WAIT!!
That’s so awesome to hear! This hotel is so much fun. August isn’t that far away at all.
WOOT! So excited for my stay at Cabana Bay in September/October! Thank you for sharing all your Universal knowledge from parks to resorts!
Of course, I appreciate you watching. Enjoy your stay!
I have only been able to stay at Cabana Bay twice and so love it!!! We now stay at Dockside due to the suite rooms. But, Cabana Bay is great due to you can also walk to Sapphire Falls and ride the boat in or it is a beautiful walk over to the park too.
Thank you for the tour of CB. I’ll be there in early June for the first time. I’m looking forward to it.
Of course, I appreciate you watching! June isn’t that far away.
We’ve stayed here a few times and we absolutely love it! The staff is always amazing and we just love the amenities! The price is never that bad as well, especially off season. We also love the walk to universal by the water! It’s a great place to stay for HHN 👻 Ty for the tour! I loved seeing it again!

Best hotel in Orlando Florida
Just book my room here for Nov. I can’t wait!! 🔥
I love Cabana Bay! My Dad does actually use the coffee maker. lol
Yea cool
9:38
Love love the view
Yasss! Thank you! I just booked here for December!
Great video Dev and I always enjoy your videos also it's nice to be nice!🤠👍🏻
I love this resort and how close and convenient it is to walk to volcano 🌋 bay
We always use the coffee maker. For that morning cup on the balcony. One of our favorite parts of our Disney hotel days.
Thank you for the tour, yes we do drink the room coffee it’s not vacation unless I smell the coffee in the room. Try it!! 🥰
We stayed there I really enjoyed it. My family and I went blowing. We have had View of the park My mother use it . Pool is cool too….
We always use coffee pot. I liked endless summer resort for families because it has a microwave and sink. That is everything when you kids want mac and cheese
It was really great running into you at islands of adventure the other day at the comic strip Cafe. Jenny and I really appreciated you taking time to talk to us. We are spending our vacation between universal and Disney. And have utilized your advice on more than one trip down here.

That is a really nice shirt you have there! I would have to get one like that but for the house of Gryffindor :) Such a cool hotel tbh.

I absolutely use the coffee machine :) There's no getting to the lobby for coffee without coffee.
My girlfriend and I are excited to be going to this resort next year so we can have easy access to Volcano 🌋 bay!!
That’s the best perk about staying here! You will enjoy it.
We don't drink coffee but I (Ann Marie not Tim) made coffee for my mom once at a hotel. Apparently I did a horrible job, her face said it all.😁
Love your videos. So much variety.
Love your content Dev!
Thank you so much!!
We don’t drink coffee often at home, but I do use the hotel one if I need a wake-me-up.
The only hotel I ever stayed at was Hard Rock and it was so expensive... I've been wanting to check out these value universal hotels, maybe this year...
Hey. Another great vlog. Thanks. Not sure what happened at 11 mins 50 though Dev. Keep up the great work
LOL just TH-camrs being silly. Thank you for watching Vicky!

Thank you so very much Kathleen! You definitely need to get back over to Universal soon.
We'll be there in a couple weeks😊
I love having the coffee maker in the room, but seldom use it.
We definitely use the coffee pot lol
Hay Dav. Thanks for the new video. Always look forward to seeing them. Hope to see you at HHN this year. Finally getting my Honeymoon haha
I’m literally counting down the days until HHN this year. I’ll definitely be around. That sounds like a fun honeymoon Pete!
@@PCDev I hope it’s going to be great. We got married in December and have waited this long lol
What a gorgeous view, especially at night. This resort looks like it would be fun. Definitely giving us more to think about! Were you actually able to see some of Disney’s fireworks? As usual thank you for a great, informative and honest review! Keep doing what your doing!!!

Hi Dev! Do you know if you can use the Cabana Bay's Lazy River and Pool if you're staying in another Universal resort? (for example, Aventura). Thank you! Melisa
Thanks for sharing 😂
I use the coffee makers. I bring oatmeal packets for breakfast sometimes and hot chocolate packets. I sometimes use their coffee too.
That’s a great idea!
when you check in and have bought the volcano view room, can you choose to pick the Bayside tower?
I use the coffeemaker at the resorts every AM.
Hey Dev , did you ever do that ride that had the accident at icon park?
Dev u the 🐐
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I always wondered if it would be worth it to do a resort staycation when we live 2 hours away. This is the first that seems reasonable enough in price with some great perks.
You can’t beat the price especially for Florida residents! Definitely do a staycation, those are the best!
First time ever using a coffee maker in a hotel this weekend at cabana bay. Luckily it was with a new coffee maker because the one in the room did not work.
Hi Mr. Dev! I’m weird and bring my own Keurig Machine on vacay! We travel by Amtrak auto train so it’s loaded in my truck with our luggage.
I don’t blame you one bit haha I would probably do the same thing. How do you like the Amtrak? I’m thinking of traveling via Amtrak soon.
@@PCDev I love the autotrain! It’s travels only from Lorton VA to Sanford FL. My hubby works for Amtrak as a mechanic. I can use the regular trains and go anywhere for free.

@@jeninaslicer352 thank you for the great information!
Were you able to see the EPCOT fireworks from your room?
Yes we sure did!
I always try the in room coffee but it’s usually not good :/
Yeah I know 😭
Hi Dev, im sandra from Argentina, i will be there next february, we are two adults, which hotel do you recomend us, cabana o Aventura? Thanks for your videos we make us so happy!
Hello Sandra! I like both hotels but for two adults I would recommend Aventura just because there’s a little bit more to do for adults like bar 17 bistro the rooftop bar.
Thanks Dev, you are so kind!!
I had such a bad experience at Cabana Bay in March. Room didn’t get cleaned 4 nights in a row! Staff wasn’t apologetic..
Can you do a vlog on the hard rock hotel?
It does look like such a cool place, but I've been really spoiled staying at the other resorts where I get the free Unlimited express passes!
Yeah you can’t beat the deluxe universal resorts that offer free express!
