It isn't a Universal Orlando Resort Hotel... but I would really recommend giving Silver Lake Resort a chance and review. It's a beautiful place, and has become my wife and I's favorite place to stay. But if it has to be an on property or Universal Owned Hotel... I wanna see more about the Hard Rock hotel.
I stayed at Cabana Bay last year. I wanted to do the pool on my last day, but didn't want to get on the plane without showering, etc. The helpful guys at luggage services encouraged me to use the fitness center. I packed a day bag and put it up in the fitness center (free lockers that have combination locks). When I was done at the pool, I took a shower, dressed, fixed my hair, etc. Then I picked up my luggage and went to the airport. The locker room had great shower and dressing facilities with shampoo, soap, towels and hair dryers. It was a great convenience and such a nice way to end my vacation.
@@ThePughTwo So, my only question is, who wrote that snappy reply to me? Sounds like Tyler. Those people on the plane with me should be thankful I got that shower too!
When we went to cabana Bay we got off the bus at sapphire falls and took the water taxi over to the parks. On the way back we did the water taxi back but then walked across the street back to our hotel. We love cabana Bay!
Yalls tip about checking to see if the hotel prices went down and rebooking to save money has saved me hundreds of dollars! By far the best tip I've heard in the past 8 years of watching Universal vids
Love the retro motel vs hotel feel. We stayed at adventura recently and had zero complaints. For me, it’s mostly about walking to the parks, which I did probably 15 times in 6 days. Also everyone should know that if you stay at any of Universal S hotels, you can get a pass to swim in any of the pools. That was easy too.
Also, I thought the beds were super comfortable! I had a Volcano tower room and the view was tremendous! It is a bit of a walk though to get from the lobby to the tower, but I got used to it once Iearned my way. And you can ways walk through the garden path that goes alongside the pool. It's a nice walk that way. One last comment, they turn on pool music about 8am every morning. It's subtle when you're up in the room, but still noticeable if you're trying to sleep in.
Clicked on this asap! I love Cabana Bay Bay! Very family friendly. The walking path is awesome. Learned a lot while watching the retro commercials at the Bay Liner diner. Who knew Tupperware was around back then? Woody Woodpecker was in the Rice Krispies commercials before the elves. Did you get a milkshake at the new place? It was still under construction in November when I was there. 😊😊
Excellent video but you didn’t mention one of the best parts! I tell everyone you can walk across the street from cabana bay to Sapphire Falls and go out back and take the water shuttle. We did that most of the time. The regular bus shuttle is just like the ones at dockside/Surfside, etc. but we enjoyed walking across the street and outback of Sapphire Falls and taking the shuttles. You bypass all of CityWalk. But yeah, cabana Bay is great for kids, one side has the big pool with slide, and the other side has the big pool with the lazy river, and if you purchase a float for the lazy river, they’ll give you one already blown up, and after you are done swimming, you return it and they give you a brand new one in the package to take home so it fits in your suitcase. It’s awesome. Plus they have a frozen yogurt making machine which is great.
LOVE CB! I've stayed here twice, and at Hard Rock once. We prefer CB (especially if you don't need express passes). Last week of Jan this year my daughter and I stayed at CB and hit the parks mid-week. It was lovely. She loved the theming, the food, everything about the resort. We had a suite up on the 3rd floor facing the pool, right near the walking path to the parks. Perfect. The walk wasn't bad - we walked TO, and bussed back. It takes the same amount of time, just saves your legs after 25K steps! Great review.
It’s such a great hotel, honestly! We’re partial to the HR because we got married there, but it’s a really great option at an affordable price. Glad you enjoyed it!!
You should audition for a few local modeling or acting gigs. You definitely have the talent to do commercials. Charlie Chang(finance guy) mentioned his modeling gigs, so clearly it's just a matter of putting your hat in the ring.
My husband and I stayed at cabana bay during HHN in September and had a great time. I love the room that was the HHN room in cabana bay. My husband is a big exercise enthusiast, and he was quite impressed with the Jack LaLanne fitness room and had to exercise there at least one time, of course!
The Bayliner stays open until 2am during Hhn. I was there last year. Sad that I missed the shake shop. It was still being constructed in mid Oct when I was there
Love the review! We've only stayed at Cabana Bay once, and it was during Hurricane Ian. But we loved it. Looking forward to staying there again for HHN this year!
@@ThePughTwo It was, but it was still fun! Everything inside was still open. There were a few character meet & greets. Did the HHN experience room multiple times. And the food is delicious.
My fav universal hotel! The smell when you first walk in is so good, I live in Scotland and I’d do ANYTHING to go back and smell it again 😢 it’s been 3 months 😂
@@ThePughTwo 😂 me too! My mom is a huge fan of him, and now I am too. At age 60, he swam from Alcatraz Island to Fisherman's Wharf, and it was his second time doing this feat. ❤️ I love your content. Thank you so much for your reply!
Great review! Where do you keep all of your FreeStyle cups?? Is there like a Shrine in your place for them - on a shelf above Bradley and the hat :) hahah
When looking at hotels I always pass this one, thanks I didn’t know how nice it is! Gotta try it! Anna looks like she dressed for the hotel theme! She is on point!
Great video guys! I would love to see more hotel reviews! We almost always stay at Portofino Bay when we go but are staying at Royal Pacific later this year so it would be great to see a video on that!
Hey guys!! Love your videos! You should hop on the trend of asking staff from Universal what’s their go-to food to eat in the parks and trying it. Greetings from Honduras 🇭🇳
When I go down, I usually stay off property. I usually stay on the iDrive. But if I would stay on property, I would probably stay there. Too bad the price went up and used to be a little cheaper. Great video guys and I hope you had a blast!
That's where we stayed when we were there in November. We ate at the Diner a few times. Their dinner specials were good too. Bummed we weren't able to bowl, while we were there. Tip: call in the morning every day your staying if wanting to bowl. We had a microwave and didn't request it with our standard pool view room.
We just got back this past weekend from a week long stay at CB and loved it! Even though it was just my wife and I, the Family Suite was perfect for us. Totally agree that Bayliner Diner is very underrated
We stayed at Cabana Bay last month! Loved the vibe, Bayliner diner, the milkshakes, pizza, and loved the pool and lazy river! Sorry you guys missed floating around and around aimlessly like we did!😂🤣 Great review!
Cabana Bay has always been a huge favorite or mine! I think for HHN they do keep food open but only pizza which I think their pizza is some of the best, great video guys!
I'm pretty sure y'all were there when I was there! Cabana Bay is one of my favorite Universal hotels. There's so much to do, the pools are great, the lazy river is super fun, the food is pretty good (I had churrasco last week and it was delicious) you can go bowling (!!!), it's close to the parks, and if you're feeling risky, you can cross the street and take a water taxi from Sapphire Falls without paying the Sapphire Falls price (same with Aventura). Unfortunately, it's a freakin' huge resort, so that can make it hard getting back to your room after a long day at the parks, but the aesthetic and the vibes totally make it worth it for me. Plus, if you have boomer family members, the 60's theme will absolutely win them over (my mom approves).
Watched this again after your live comment Anna about catching your snort at his bed slap/comment about the microwave 🤣 Love the "race to the dot" and him turning down the thermostat to meat locker status haha
I see me in the background at the Vacation Planning Center!! I remember seeing you guys, y'all picked a great day to film because that was one of the best shifts 😂 I don't work there often, so I don't know much about the hotel, but I just learned the basics to tell guests from you guys and I super appreciate that 😁
Great review on Cabana Bay. Do you know if there is any discount if you bring your resort cups back on future trips? Cannot wait to try that new malt shop.
This is my favorite hotel! I've stayed there three different times now and will be back in September. I always say I'm going to try something new and then book this one 😂 -Lacey
LOVE ❤️ that you both dressed for the location! Bummer that the lazy river was closed but hope you enjoyed the firepit. One room detail I've seen for Universal hotels I thought was cool is the line in the shower to hang your swimsuits. Is there something great enough we should swing in to check out before or after Volcano Bay day given how close it is?
Haha thank you!! We were sad about the lazy River, too, but it’ll be open at some point! I can’t really think of anything you’d specifically wanna stop by for, except maybe the bowling alley??
We just stayed at Cabana Bay in early February. Our young kids, ages 8, 6, and 2 LOVED it. They were obsessed with the pool, and the lazy river. ALSO, the cafeteria has the BEST pizza. My husband would buy an entire pizza each night for dinner - it was delicious!
Hello from Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada!🇨🇦 I am obsessed with your videos. I have watched almost all of them now. We will be staying at Cabana Bay for a week in April. Maybe I will get to say hi while visiting the parks😊
We've stayed there twice now and love it! I'm obsessed with the oldies and love the vibes! We weren't able to try the new malt shop yet, which is something I wanted to do, but it's okay. Just more for next time!
Fun video! "Fall back, fall back." lol. A con is no express pass. Love the obligatory and immediate change to 65 on the thermostat lol. Please review Royal Pacific next (that's mine and my wife's favorite hotel)
@@ThePughTwo It definitely could kind of ruin Express Pass lol. It's a really nice perk of the top tier hotels though. Looking forward to your review of RP at some point!
I love Cabana Bay! I took my Mom and Dad there and my Mom was so excited - I can remember her exercising with Jack when I was little so that was so cool. Also, two weeks ago we got to come for a two night stay (yes, I got one day at the park, I really needed it). Got to stay at Sapphire Falls (Dream come true). However, we walked over to Cabana Bay to eat better and lower priced food. I love their food!! Yes, we do the holding bed. LOL So agree, the kids at the resort can get to be to much sometimes. But still love it!
Thanks for the great information on the resort we have made are choice to stay there over lowes resort because of price just wish they included express pass like lowes
This place looks great. We always stay at the Surfside for the awesome 2 bedroom rooms. They are amazing for families. Seriously, more onsite hotels should do this room type! We will have to try checking out the Cabana Bay though, love the theming and the bowling looks fun too.
I *think* Cabana Bay has the same style family suites! I’m not 100% on that, but I feel like that’s right lol. We love the endless summer hotels, though!!
Who beat down who at bowling? Anna, I about hit the floor laughing when you said “”you win” during race to the room door. 😂😂😂 That was so smart! My husband and I always use the second bed as an item collector. Nice to know we aren’t weird. 🤪
Lol not me (Anna). I’m TERRIBLE at bowling. It’s a good throw if I just keep it in the right lane tbh 😂 I was absolutely not running a single step either 🤣
Cabana bay was so much fun when I went with my son and my late husband a few years back-Tom and I stayed at Adventura in Jan. Not nearly as “family friendly” but the staff was amazing and the views for a king size room on the 12th floor was worth ECERY PENNY!
We take the walking path from Cabana Bay over to Saffire Falls and take the boat so we skip the cattle herding of security!!! Cabana Bay is our go to hotel we LOVE it!!!
Hi,I would have to agree, I just stayed there for ten days at the beginning of February,I enjoyed it a lot, the foods good, the malt shop is so yummy the pb&j shake oh my yes, the pool with the slide was closed down for repairs, but other than that it was great 😀❤️
Thank you for the great video. We are planning on going to Universal in the next year . There will be five of us including my disabled daughter with her wheelchair. We need to decide which is better Endless Summer or this one. Any insight on which one is more handicap friendly. We loved watching you two so much fun.
We love Cabana Bay! Just wish it had access to the boats, which is like...a "won't go without them" thing now. We miss going there for the themeing and feel, but ooowie can't go back to busses and walking so far to get to park. But if budget is your #1 concern, it's awesome!
Our fav has to be a aVentura , love the robot that come to the room and the roof top bar, great videos keep up the good work we have been off the tube latley back in full swing !
Cabana Bay is my absolute favorite resort! It's amazing. Having a Starbucks in your hotel is also outstanding. P. S. Love the new malt shop. Their ice cream is awesome.
Which hotel should we review next??
Soo glad to see hotel reviews from you guys finally!! Royal Pacific next pleasee
Aventura!!!
Hard rock
It isn't a Universal Orlando Resort Hotel... but I would really recommend giving Silver Lake Resort a chance and review. It's a beautiful place, and has become my wife and I's favorite place to stay.

I was gonna say that when I first ready your sentence about wanting to shower! I’m so glad the hotel convinced you to! Lol
@@ThePughTwo So, my only question is, who wrote that snappy reply to me? Sounds like Tyler. Those people on the plane with me should be thankful I got that shower too!

That’s amazing!! We love hearing that!
As someone who loves to stay next-door, I gained a whole new level of respect for you guys with "if you know, you know"😂❤️
😂😂 everyone who’s stayed there before knows the trick, but we’re not gonna be the ones spreading it! Lol
Love the retro motel vs hotel feel. We stayed at adventura recently and had zero complaints. For me, it’s mostly about walking to the parks, which I did probably 15 times in 6 days. Also everyone should know that if you stay at any of Universal
S hotels, you can get a pass to swim in any of the pools. That was easy too.
Yes we love pool hopping! It’s so fun!!
The view of the sun coming up in the morning at Cabana Bay is something to see!
Yes!! It’s gorgeous!
We stayed there in December and it was great! You are right about the walk though, that was long. Cue Frogger music.....
😂🤣 yeah, it’s not short lol
Also, I thought the beds were super comfortable! I had a Volcano tower room and the view was tremendous! It is a bit of a walk though to get from the lobby to the tower, but I got used to it once Iearned my way. And you can ways walk through the garden path that goes alongside the pool.

Clicked on this asap! I love Cabana Bay Bay! Very family friendly. The walking path is awesome. Learned a lot while watching the retro commercials at the Bay Liner diner. Who knew Tupperware was around back then? Woody Woodpecker was in the Rice Krispies commercials before the elves. Did you get a milkshake at the new place?

Haha that’s amazing! We need to pay more attention to the commercials! Lol I did know about Tupperware though. My mom has some OLD stuff 😂
“One of them is a junk bed, to put your luggage and stuff on”
This is so relevant 😂🎉❤
Lol it important to have a system!
What I would give for every hotel review I’ve seen to be this much fun 😊. Well shot and love the enthusiasm you both bring.
Haha you’re so sweet, Mike! We really appreciate it!

Checking this review out for our stay for a cheer comp this upcoming week lol Can't wait
We hope you have a great time, and good luck in the cheer competition!!
Thanks so much. I want to stay here later this year. Love the cool vibes there.
It’s so nice! We hope you get to!!
Another outstanding video guys as usual thinking of the people with this budget hotel and good pools cleaning tidy again anna//Tyler thanks guys
Thank you, Dougie!!
11:37 is the best mattress evaluation EVER!!!! 😂
😂😂 we agree!
Staying there for the first time in August. Thanks for the great info!
Hope you enjoy it!
We are going to Cabana Bay at the end of the month so was excited to see you guys cover this
How fun! We hope you enjoy it!
Love the review! We've only stayed at Cabana Bay once, and it was during Hurricane Ian. But we loved it. Looking forward to staying there again for HHN this year!
Thank you so much! That must’ve been a crazy experience at CB too!
@@ThePughTwo It was, but it was still fun! Everything inside was still open. There were a few character meet & greets. Did the HHN experience room multiple times. And the food is delicious.
I stay at cabana bay every time. Love the volcano bay access, pools massive variety of food and the bowling alley!
We couldn’t agree more!!
My fav universal hotel! The smell when you first walk in is so good, I live in Scotland and I’d do ANYTHING to go back and smell it again 😢 it’s been 3 months 😂
😂😂 we hope you get to go back soon!!
It is an amazing resort went with my family the past 2 trips here absolutely love it great video Anna and tyler!!!
Thank you, Austin!!
We just stayed there for the OI event in Nov 2022 and loved it!
Love Jack Lalane too. He was an OG. ❤
How fun!! We loved seeing the shrine to him in the exercise room! Lol

Great video guys! I would love to see more hotel reviews! We almost always stay at Portofino Bay when we go but are staying at Royal Pacific later this year so it would be great to see a video on that!
We’re working on them!! Lol we’ll see if we can find a good deal at Portofino soon!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who uses the second bed as something of a dumping ground. 😊
Haha we love it!!
Me and my family are planning a Christmas 2024 vacation at that hotel! So cool! great video!!!!!
That’s so exciting!!
Hey guys!! Love your videos! You should hop on the trend of asking staff from Universal what’s their go-to food to eat in the parks and trying it. Greetings from Honduras 🇭🇳
Thank you!! That’s not a bad idea! As long as the TM is okay with it lol
I met you guys at islands last weekend! It was nice seeing y’all
It was so nice seeing you, too! We hope you had an amazing time!
Great video! We are staying there later this month. Did you happen to find out when the lazy river will reopen? Thanks!
How exciting! We didn’t, unfortunately, but it looks like they’re doing some major work so I’d be surprised if it was open then.
When I go down, I usually stay off property. I usually stay on the iDrive. But if I would stay on property, I would probably stay there. Too bad the price went up and used to be a little cheaper. Great video guys and I hope you had a blast!
There are some great hotels close by, too!
I love your energy together! I’m thinking about staying at the Cabana Bay but your review of the Hard Rock convinced me to upgrade! 😊
Thank you!! We hope you enjoy HR, too! It’s such a great hotel!
That's where we stayed when we were there in November. We ate at the Diner a few times. Their dinner specials were good too. Bummed we weren't able to bowl, while we were there. Tip: call in the morning every day your staying if wanting to bowl. We had a microwave and didn't request it with our standard pool view room.
That’s a great tip for getting a bowling reservation! I’m not sure we knew they had dinner specials either. How convenient!
We just got back this past weekend from a week long stay at CB and loved it! Even though it was just my wife and I, the Family Suite was perfect for us. Totally agree that Bayliner Diner is very underrated
We love it!! Tyler and I have definitely gotten a family suite before just for the extra room and microwave lol they’re so affordable!
We stayed at Cabana Bay last month! Loved the vibe, Bayliner diner, the milkshakes, pizza, and loved the pool and lazy river! Sorry you guys missed floating around and around aimlessly like we did!😂🤣 Great review!
Yes yes yes! Lol we were definitely sad, but probably better for the video 😂😂
CB is my go-to! Love the vibe and the smell and the old TV commercials in the diner.
That bed slap tho 😂😂🤣
It’s so nice!!
We’re staying at Cabana Bay this May. First time staying on Universal property and I can’t wait!
You’re gonna love it!!
Great video! We usually stay at Sapphire Falls or Hard Rock but agree that Cabana Bay is really cool.
Sapphire and Hard Rock are both amazing too! You really just can’t go wrong with a uni hotel lol
Love the videos you both put out there. Thank You.
Thank you!!
It's one of my favorites. I've stayed 3 times and will be staying again in August
We love it, too!!
LOVE CABANA BAY! Thanks for this video.
Thanks for watching!
I love this place!!! We are headed back October 19-22. It will be our 4th or 5th stay. My husband and grown kids don't want to stay anywhere else.❤
How exciting!! With the two pools and the lazy river, we can’t blame them! Lol
I love Cabana we are staying there 4 the 3rd time at the end of August and cannot wait!!
That’s so exciting!!
Cabana Bay has always been a huge favorite or mine! I think for HHN they do keep food open but only pizza which I think their pizza is some of the best, great video guys!
I don’t think we’ve had their pizza, but now I need it!! Lol
For sure! Pepperoni pizza and ranch after a long HHN night just hits differently haha 😂
You two are awesome! Love your videos!
Thanks so much!!
I'm pretty sure y'all were there when I was there! Cabana Bay is one of my favorite Universal hotels. There's so much to do, the pools are great, the lazy river is super fun, the food is pretty good (I had churrasco last week and it was delicious) you can go bowling (!!!), it's close to the parks, and if you're feeling risky, you can cross the street and take a water taxi from Sapphire Falls without paying the Sapphire Falls price (same with Aventura).

Haha we totally agree! It’s an awesome resort!
Hi friends! I absolutely love Cabana Bay Beach Resort, I stayed there las year for 8 days! I’m planing to go there again this year.
That’s so exciting! We hope you have just as much fun this year!!
Watched this again after your live comment Anna about catching your snort at his bed slap/comment about the microwave 🤣 Love the "race to the dot" and him turning down the thermostat to meat locker status haha
😂😂 I do that a lot, you just can’t normally hear it thankfully 🤦🏼♀️ meat locker status for sure, too! Lol
We’re coming in 10 days and staying here for 5 nights … a little bummed the lazy river is closed. But we’re super excited!!
You’ll still love it!! The pools are so nice!
I see me in the background at the Vacation Planning Center!! I remember seeing you guys, y'all picked a great day to film because that was one of the best shifts 😂 I don't work there often, so I don't know much about the hotel, but I just learned the basics to tell guests from you guys and I super appreciate that 😁
Oh that’s so funny! We’re so happy our videos have been helpful, too. You’re too sweet!
That pizza at the Bayliner Diner is SO good too! Two nights in a row after HHN in 2019 grabbed one of those and went back up to the room 👌
So any people have said that! We need to try it! Lol
Great review on Cabana Bay. Do you know if there is any discount if you bring your resort cups back on future trips? Cannot wait to try that new malt shop.
I *think* they just charge you to reactivate them, but I’m not sure what the price is for that!
review the Aventura hotel next! I have a vacation planned for later this year and that’s where I have booked!!! Loved the video!
Adventura is great! Especially bar 17 on the roof!!
Any idea how long the lazy River will be closed? We’re staying at CB for HHN- mainly BECAUSE of the lazy River…..hope it’s open by then!
We’re not sure! I’d guess it’ll be back open for HHN, but we haven’t heard anything official so don’t quote us on that! Lol
No lie, this was was the hotel I was looking at booking for my trip so this video is perfect! Thank you!
we’re so glad it was helpful!
I literally just spent 7 nights there, got home 2 days ago. I love cabana bay.
Haha that’s amazing! We hope you had a wonderful time on your trip!!
This is my favorite hotel! I've stayed there three different times now and will be back in September. I always say I'm going to try something new and then book this one 😂 -Lacey
Haha it’s amazing! All of Universal’s hotels are great!!
bringing the clan of 20 of us down at the end of May for 12 days. we always stay at Cabana Bay. Hope we finally get to run into you guys.
Oh wow! That’ll be crazy! Lol we hope y’all have an amazing time! And hopefully we see you guys!
As soon as you mentioned breakfast I KNEW you would mention the potatoes! Those are easily the best breakfast food at this hotel 😋
Yesssss! They almost rival the HP breakfast potatoes lol
I’m always interested in hotel shower pressure haha 😂 I love your guys videos! Thank you for all the info!
Oh that’s a great idea of something to add to these hotel reviews! Thanks for the suggestion!
LOVE ❤️ that you both dressed for the location! Bummer that the lazy river was closed but hope you enjoyed the firepit.
One room detail I've seen for Universal hotels I thought was cool is the line in the shower to hang your swimsuits.
Is there something great enough we should swing in to check out before or after Volcano Bay day given how close it is?
Haha thank you!! We were sad about the lazy River, too, but it’ll be open at some point! I can’t really think of anything you’d specifically wanna stop by for, except maybe the bowling alley??
We just stayed at Cabana Bay in early February. Our young kids, ages 8, 6, and 2 LOVED it. They were obsessed with the pool, and the lazy river. ALSO, the cafeteria has the BEST pizza. My husband would buy an entire pizza each night for dinner - it was delicious!
I don’t think we’ve ever tried their pizza, but now I want to!! Lol
@@ThePughTwo It's AMAZING! We loved the Pepperoni :-)
Hello from Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada!🇨🇦 I am obsessed with your videos. I have watched almost all of them now. We will be staying at Cabana Bay for a week in April. Maybe I will get to say hi while visiting the parks😊
You’re so sweet, thank you! We hope you have an amazing time on your trip, and hopefully we’ll run into you!!
We've stayed there twice now and love it! I'm obsessed with the oldies and love the vibes! We weren't able to try the new malt shop yet, which is something I wanted to do, but it's okay. Just more for next time!
It just gives you a reason to come back! Lol
Fun video! "Fall back, fall back." lol. A con is no express pass. Love the obligatory and immediate change to 65 on the thermostat lol. Please review Royal Pacific next (that's mine and my wife's favorite hotel)
Oh for sure lol we wish all the hotels came with express, but I guess that would ruin express 😂 RP is definitely on the list!!
@@ThePughTwo It definitely could kind of ruin Express Pass lol. It's a really nice perk of the top tier hotels though. Looking forward to your review of RP at some point!
Great video. I love the pink skirt Anna! Where did you get it?
Amazon! Lol
@@ThePughTwo nice!
I love Cabana Bay! I took my Mom and Dad there and my Mom was so excited - I can remember her exercising with Jack when I was little so that was so cool. Also, two weeks ago we got to come for a two night stay (yes, I got one day at the park, I really needed it). Got to stay at Sapphire Falls (Dream come true). However, we walked over to Cabana Bay to eat better and lower priced food. I love their food!! Yes, we do the holding bed. LOL So agree, the kids at the resort can get to be to much sometimes. But still love it!
How did you get a good price at spring break! Im going online right now!!!
Lol the calm before the storm!
Bayliner Diner is my favorite place on Universal Property to eat. Sometimes I bus over just to grab lunch.
It’s shockingly good for a cafeteria! 😂
I’m actually staying at Cabana bay now. It’s my favorite. And yes I also use the other bed as a junk bed. Lol
Haha we love it!! We hope you’re having a great time!
Thanks for the great information on the resort we have made are choice to stay there over lowes resort because of price just wish they included express pass like lowes
How fun!! CB is the best, you’re gonna love it!
@@ThePughTwo will be bringing are 10 yrs old and he's super excited about volcano bay
“I’m a loser” at around 10min mark, sent me dying 😂 cus it’s so relatable! I say that all the time around my girlfriend too
😂🤣
Absolutely love this hotel
We do, too!
This place looks great. We always stay at the Surfside for the awesome 2 bedroom rooms. They are amazing for families. Seriously, more onsite hotels should do this room type!
We will have to try checking out the Cabana Bay though, love the theming and the bowling looks fun too.
I *think* Cabana Bay has the same style family suites! I’m not 100% on that, but I feel like that’s right lol. We love the endless summer hotels, though!!
@@ThePughTwo Thats exciting to hear, I'll have to check into that!
Swizzle bar is awesome. The bartender was not making those drinks weak at ALL.
😂😂
Who beat down who at bowling? Anna, I about hit the floor laughing when you said “”you win” during race to the room door. 😂😂😂 That was so smart! My husband and I always use the second bed as an item collector. Nice to know we aren’t weird. 🤪
Lol not me (Anna). I’m TERRIBLE at bowling. It’s a good throw if I just keep it in the right lane tbh 😂 I was absolutely not running a single step either 🤣
@@ThePughTwo 😂❤️
Cabana bay was so much fun when I went with my son and my late husband a few years back-Tom and I stayed at Adventura in Jan. Not nearly as “family friendly” but the staff was amazing and the views for a king size room on the 12th floor was worth ECERY PENNY!
We love adventura! Definitely less of a family atmosphere, though lol
We take the walking path from Cabana Bay over to Saffire Falls and take the boat so we skip the cattle herding of security!!! Cabana Bay is our go to hotel we LOVE it!!!
IYKYK lol
Hi,I would have to agree, I just stayed there for ten days at the beginning of February,I enjoyed it a lot, the foods good, the malt shop is so yummy the pb&j shake oh my yes, the pool with the slide was closed down for repairs, but other than that it was great 😀❤️
That’s the shake Tyler got! Lol I guess they’re going all in on pool repairs this year! 😂
We absolutely LOVE Cabana Bay Beach Resort!!!
We do, too!
Thank you for the great video. We are planning on going to Universal in the next year . There will be five of us including my disabled daughter with her wheelchair. We need to decide which is better Endless Summer or this one. Any insight on which one is more handicap friendly. We loved watching you two so much fun.
They’re both very accessible! Universal is great about that!
Nice review. Is this hotel walking distance from Disney world?
We would say not, it is at least a 20 minute drive
@@ThePughTwo ok thanks for the info
Never stayed at Cabana Bay always at the Hard Rock but it looks amazing. Great Video.
HR is the best!! Lol
We will take the IYKYK transportation option!! 🤣 love CB. But we do prefer our stays at Sapphire Falls. So I vote for it next!
what is it?
@@iverymarquez1152 walking across to Sapphire boats.
😂😂 Sapphire is amazing, for sure! It’s one of our favorite hotels!
Where did Tyler get his hat in video??? It’s amazing!!!
He got it at the PGA superstore near the parks! The brand is “Chubbies” they have a website where you could probably find one!
i love Cabana Bay so much! and i totally hit 👍for the "junk bed;" that's all it's there for.
We love CB too!!
We love Cabana Bay! Just wish it had access to the boats, which is like...a "won't go without them" thing now. We miss going there for the themeing and feel, but ooowie can't go back to busses and walking so far to get to park. But if budget is your #1 concern, it's awesome!
😂😂 yeah we feel that. You know, Sapphire falls is just across the street with a niiiiice boat! 😉
Going in May first time, which hotel would you recommend with a 5 year old? TIA
By far my favorite is cabana !!
It’s just so fun!
Our fav has to be a aVentura , love the robot that come to the room and the roof top bar, great videos keep up the good work we have been off the tube latley back in full swing !
We love adventura, too! Especially bad 17! And thank you!!
I also have a "junk bed" when I stay at a hotel! 😅 I say it's for "organizational" purposes.
Lol we’re glad it’s not just us!
Cabana Bay is my absolute favorite resort! It's amazing. Having a Starbucks in your hotel is also outstanding.
P. S. Love the new malt shop. Their ice cream is awesome.
We love that they all have starbies lol
