That place looks amazing. It's like they took the concept behind Disney's Pop Century and turned it up to 11. 3:16 the structure over the slide is meant to resemble a diving platform that pools used to have (see the Fontainebleau Miami Beach in the James Bond movie "Goldfinger").
It has an amazing fitness center with showers and locker rooms. It was named after the late Jack Lalanne, who (according to his friend Arnold Schwarzenegger) was the first true celebrity fitness expert. He was inducted into the Fitness Hall of Fame too. Jack took exercise so seriously he kept exercising until pneumonia took him at the age of 96.
I stayed there from March 14th to March 19th, besides from the loud LaCrosse team, it was really good, I've gotta say, I like sapphire falls a LOT more, but the old ads in Bayliner Diner were amazing!
I really wish more TH-camrs would review and document the CB exterior entry suites…there’s like only three videos I could find on them… everyone always reviews the standard tower rooms. Which is disappointing because I’ve booked one for my upcoming trip to get a room close to the garden walkway (of which I’ve only seen ONE video of someone documenting that walk). In regards to your video though…I love your positivity, video style, and variety of content (not just Disney… I really appreciate that!). The couple of videos I’ve seen so far are well balanced between visuals and information. Can’t wait to see more Universal content and maybe Seaworld? Or other Orlando attractions? 🤔🙏 Thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing insight into the theme park/vacation world… it’s much appreciated!
Well I’m one person and I’m paying for all this myself to create the content so I can only afford the standard room. Same thing with the theme parks. I’m not a SeaWorld annual passholder, I already pay for my Disney and Universal AP to create the content so unfortunately at this time I will not be going to SeaWorld. Maybe one day if my channel becomes bigger and I have more patrons to help me fund. Until then I hope you enjoy my Universal, Disney, and occasional New York area/Theme Park content 😃
A good room is on the top two floors of the Americana wing. At night, they light up Volcano Bay and you get a fantastic view. It sometimes puts out a brief light show that makes it look like it's erupting!
'Amenities' struck a chord over here because Katie is always teasing me about how I trip over that word in our own resort tours 🤣 We didn't have the _BEST_ experience during our Cabana Bay visit, but there are still things that I loved about the resort itself - size, theming, arcade/bowling alley, lazy river, just to name a few! Your tour almost makes us want to give it another shot. After all, if you haven't been able to try the lazy river (it was closed for us), can you really even say you've been to CB?
I know I didn’t really get to experience any of the hotel. I did space 220 earlier that day and filmed 1 and 1/2 videos after this 😭 I want to go back and just have a fun day here!
Both are great (Dockside over Surfside), but I do prefer Cabana Bay because the rooms are better and there’s a lot more to do there. But I have stayed at both a lot, and if for some reason cabana bay is a lot more than the endless summers, then you’ll be fine!
I have stayed at all but two Uni resorts. I still have to upload one that I stayed at and reviewed. But I still have yet to stay at hard rock or Royal Pacific, since those two are the more expensive ones. They are next on my list and when I get a good passholder rate I will review it!
Other people have said that the Hard Rock bathrooms are small. I think it's the closest to the Park and apparently they also play music underwater in the pool.
The only down side about the rooms are the doors look exactly the same and "Not" numbered. (if this is the place I'm thinking of) but i really liked it once i remembered I knew where my room was. I never got a map :< Is this the place with the old cars in the lot? I lived off of the Starbucks! You took me back to my last time i went to Universal! Hun, please I'd go bowling with you! Edit: maybe when I went last (back before the pandemic they just got the numbers up, but i swear to you, all the rooms looked the same, and I got really lost, but it's not a vacation when I get lost >.>; Maybe I wasn't the only one, and they decided to make the numbers bigger since the last time I came (or I just wasn't looking properly) This is just a personal issue, and one that was out of my control. It was supposed to be a "family" vacation. My grandmother at the time couldn't enjoy the park and got "forced" to go with us, so I wound up having to do the parks by myself, though I got to experience the hotel on "my time" though as i said, it can be confusing for someone who has sensery disabilities with the floors and rooms "not being labbled" I did get lost at least once and that kinda threw off my already frustrating experience. Over all though, the hotel itself was fantastic! And the gift shop! I found this really cool T-shirt of the Marauders map that when the sun shines on it the feet move! Someone i met in the parks (while i was by myself) was wearing that same exact t-shirt (i think i decided to wear it) and i went in the bathroom and OH MY GOD! It was the coolest thing ever! (still is) but that's one of the things you can't get in the parks that you can only "find in the gift shop" It had a sticker on it that said "Gift shop exclusive" on it
That’s so dope! I love the gift shops at the hotels, because you can definitely find those exclusive items! And yes this is the one with the cars 11:04 ! Thanks so much for watching!
I looked online and I saw that there was a pool table by the pool, but I guess I didn’t see it when I was touring the pool or maybe they took it away? I don’t remember seeing one but I could have accidentally missed it! I would call the hotel and ask!
I honestly love both resorts for different reasons. I think it all depends on your budget and what you want from your resort. I think this resort is definitely more fun because there’s more to do here. But I really love Dockside for the price and for what you get and their pool is really nice as well. Here’s the tour of Dockside th-cam.com/video/NvXYMRrtCBs/w-d-xo.html
Mesa wanna bowl so bad. There is no bowling on Naboo and Bos Nas does not want Mesa to go offworld to go bowl on other planets!! So Mesa wanna bowl so bad.

I’m a little late, but I’ll go bowling with you!!!
The ~*vibes*~ of Cabana Bay are unmatched as far as Universal Resorts go
Absolutely! I love the vibe here so much!

Ahhh thank you for sharing that!
I love this place! A perfect mix of being a nice hotel and close to property but still being inexpensive 👏🏻
I just love having so much fun stuff to do!
I was blown away by Surfside. $78 a night for UAP week before Thanksgiving. You should check it out.
@@kingoboe9536 I already did! Video out soon!
This resort looks so cool. Love that they have so much to do. -S
You literally don’t have to leave and I want to go back and have that time there!

I love the theming here so much too! But I’m also a fan of Sapphire Falls 😃
I have changed my hotel reservation from Dockside to Cabana Bay because I love retro and bowling. This video is helpful.
So glad I could help!

Thanks for the tour and review! I was hoping to book this for my next trip but couldn't! I hope to stay here one day!
I hope you get to one day!
I love the part of Jack lane !!!
I agree about decorating in mid century design. I do have a two tier table.
Love it!
This Resort look very nice! I liked the arcade and the bowling rooms! Demi I would have bowled with you if I was there. I enjoy bowling.
Yes!! Bowling is so underrated! Thanks Nick!
Next time if I go to Disney I go bowling with you! My sister and love bowling we will go bowling with you! 😅🙌
Haha I love bowling so much!
Another awesome video!! Do you personally prefer this or endless summer?! I’m torn between the two for december trip
Both are great (Dockside over Surfside), but I do prefer Cabana Bay because the rooms are better and there’s a lot more to do there. But I have stayed at both a lot, and if for some reason cabana bay is a lot more than the endless summers, then you’ll be fine!
@@MagicalHijinx thank you for replying so quickly!! Keep up the awesome work! Your series is one of my go-to for honest opinions!
Thank you so much 😊
Very strong drinks at the pool bar. All a er pound good hotel and reasonably priced.
Yes totally agree!
Great review. Thanks! Just booked it for my kids spring break. Curious if the Hard Rock is all it’s cracked up to be and worth the $?
I have stayed at all but two Uni resorts. I still have to upload one that I stayed at and reviewed. But I still have yet to stay at hard rock or Royal Pacific, since those two are the more expensive ones. They are next on my list and when I get a good passholder rate I will review it!

For the lazy river - are guests allowed to bring their own tubes? Or do we have to pay for one? Thanks
I am not actually entirely sure. I imagine your own would be okay, unless they think it’s a safety issue. I would call and ask!
Yes you can bring your own.
Does that Starbucks allow mobile ordering?
Unfortunately no 😭
Is there a pool table at cabana bay online says so but I didn’t see in video
I looked online and I saw that there was a pool table by the pool, but I guess I didn’t see it when I was touring the pool or maybe they took it away? I don’t remember seeing one but I could have accidentally missed it! I would call the hotel and ask!
@@MagicalHijinx thanks so much 🤍🤍🤍
I don't know about that but they do have a family spa. Grab it early in the day. Families fight over the spa all the time!
Do you recommend this resort or Dockside?
