This Hotel is SO MUCH Better Than We Thought It Would Be -- Universal's Cabana Bay Resort Tour 

We stayed at Cabana Bay the week it opened for our first trip to Universal in 2014. We have stayed at least 5 more times since. We absolutely adore this hotel. It’s clean, nostalgic, full of activities, extremely well-priced, has great room size options, and super convenient. LOVE Cabana Bay!!!

Quincy, I'm still waiting to see the fun cup cabinet! 🤗

Quincy’s correct; Cabana Bay is a VIBE! We prefer to stay there even over some of the pricier hotels on property. 💙🏝️

I'm staying at Cabana Bay in a few weeks so this was perfect timing! I absolutely love this resort, especially the oldies they play around the lobby and grounds! It reminds me of my dad! My dad never got to visit here (he passed away in 2017) but I know he would have loved it and when I'm there it makes me feel closer to him!

I think they gave you the best room in the hotel! Unfortunately, most rooms do not have the volcano view. I stayed at Aventura and was really pumped for the volcano view which I requested but when I arrived they were "unable to accommodate my request." They did give me a free coffee instead. That view is what is in all the promotion materials and I was really disappointed. (You know how you get a certain thing in your head.) It was still a nice stay, though.

Love Quincy’s resort reviews. What an amazing view!! So cool you could see Disney beyond your view of Volcano Bay!

Quincy, your resort tours are the best! We’ve started doing bed science on vacations now too 😂

This video is the reason I booked Cabana Bay when I went! Quincy’s tours are always so informative!

I have always considered staying there... but after seeing that view I am doing it. WOWOWOWOWOW!!!!! Love the review Quincy!!

i think it's so worth it. loved the resort tour. thanks for sharing!

Absolutely love Cabana Bay. Its so well themed and clean. Great value for money.

The view from your room? Priceless!

Loved you highlighted Cabana Bay, it's my favorite Universal resort hands down. 2nd to Wilderness Lodge, b/c that's my fave fave, but a close second. Just was there in May, and I hope I'm not the only one, but I love when you are walking around I can spot places I actually, physically was either standing or sitting at. Love these resort tours! Keep 'em coming.

As a Pop Century fan, I absolutely loved Cabana Bay! Felt like a suped up version of the 50's/60's buildings. Loved it all. Go bowling if you get the chance!

Grand California actually has an entrance into California adventure from the resort. The closest lol. Love this! We’re doing Disney but considering spending a couple days at Universal and this resort is definitely looking like it might be it.

Thank you for explaining everything about cabana bay! I’m so pumped to come and stay this summer, and you did an awesome job to make this video!

My husband and I stayed at Cabana Bay last September and really enjoyed it. We really like the room upstairs that was like a Tribute store for the universal monsters house at HHN. We took lots of pictures and it got us geared up for our HHN night!🎉

It’s amazing how much more you get at universal. Even the rooms at 40sqft more than Pop. The amenities can’t compare to Disney. Pleeeeze do a staycation review of Portofino Bay. I’m going there in September for the first time and can’t wait!!

The Volcano Bay View rooms are my favorite so far in Orlando! I know Cabana Bay is "prime," but I have just as much fun as my other favorite, Royal Pacific (deluxe). Theming is so key! Honorable mention to Sapphire Falls..

Great review! I really enjoyed watching! It was so helpful since we’re planning to stay there when we go for our first family trip to Universal. Thanks!

Staying there for the first time in march. Cannot wait and looks fun. We usually stay at Sapphire Falls but wanted to tone down the spending a bit this year.

Btw the pens at Cabana Bay are GREAT! I absolutely love them. I’ll take them home every time I go and you can even ask for extra at the front desk and they’ll usually give you several 😊

WOW What a great review Thank you!!!

looking forward to staying here next year!

Cabana Bay was the first hotel we ever stayed in at Universal we've always stayed offsite! It was definitely great and will go back again! The only thing i was bothered by was the food i have a citrus allergy they didn't have a lot of allergy friendly food options!

I stayed there in 2017 it was excellent. I had a view of the pool and lazy river on the first floor Wish would stayed there longer wish could of got to bowl. But if I could ever go back that would be the resort other than all star which were my favorite until this great fun one.

OK - am officially excited about staying there next year....but need to do research about getting onto I-drive!

I stayed at Cabana 2 times. I miss it. Stayed at Dockside last year and will again this year. I prefer Cabana but I barely spend much time at the Resorts. So Dockside works and is cheaper.

This really helps as I have three nights without a hotel reservation between a split stay at Disney. Now I know I’m going to stay here in August. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to walk to the parks but now I’m rest assured. Can’t wait until my vacation.

We stay there before and it was fun we had a great time there walking back & forth there to the Volcano water park lolol we are coming down there next year

We are deciding between a vacation at Universal in Cabana Bay and Disney in Pop. This really tempts me towards Universal.

Well done ❤

Just stayed a week at Cabana Bay.. the resort was great, no issues except the ice machine didn’t work on floor.. but the one gripe I have is the food, it was very much mediocre, burgers was dry, pretty much the whole park had dry burgers. Good thing they had the City Walk

I hope y’all will do a family suite room here soon.

Our favorite vibe on Disney property has always been Pop Century resort. But Cabana Bay is definitely superior to us pretty much across the board, even going so far as to be more superior than pretty much all of the Disney moderate resorts. And the pricing and location is incredible for a family focused on a Universal vacation. Despite staying at several of the other options, it is also still our favorite Uni hotel too. (That three minute walk to Volcano Bay just cannot be beat!) We just re-upped our annual passes and you can guess which is the first onsite hotel we booked! 😊 (If you are doing passholder rates, those values get even more awesome!)

I booked Endless Summer Surfside inn for 1,153 and change for a week next September.

We're staying at Cabana Bay in September (HHN!), and we're going to take that "20 minute walk" challenge, reckon it'll be more like 15 minutes ;) (my partner won't be impressed if I decide to try and gently jog it, but it is tempting)

When did they implement paid parking? I haven't been in 3 years but was planning to go again this year.

Weeki Wachee Springs and it’s in Hernando county Florida

Day 13 of asking for an international Disney trip (Paris, Tokyo, Shanghai)!!! Quincy, Emma, and Fry Bucket please. Extra points for Sage!! 👩🏻‍🦰🙎🏻‍♀👱🏻‍♀🌎🏰✨🐭✈

Hey Quincy is there a mandatory tip % when checking out of cabana Bay, I know Disney does it with there cruise line

What is cool when I bought a tube, afterwards I could exchange it after use for a deflated tube to pack to take home! Love Cabanna Bay! Best park hotel in Orlando!

Please do aVentura next!

I'm going to HHN in October for Friday the 13th and staying at Portofino Bay. Is it too much to wish for a Portofino Bay tour before then? How else will I know if the bed will be any good without bed science?

Hotel is an excellent location to experience Halloween Horror Nights

Staying here in April!

saw the title and thought you were going to review a Cabana Boy

Stayed in feb. and was only 110 per night

We stayed at Cabana Bay a couple months ago. The hotel was nice, with decent amenities. We had two adjoining Family Suites. It was wife and I in one suite, and daughter, son-in-law, infant granddaughter in the other family suite. Because we drove, my wife and I brought our own pillows. We did have some issues; 1) we did mobile check in, and since we had an infant granddaughter, my daughter requested a 3pm check-in. Our rooms were not ready until past 6pm. Very unacceptable, since the infant needed a nap. This threw her sleep/nap schedule off, resulting in grumpy baby. 2) there was a LOT of high school age kids staying there (for some type of convention) that were loud and rowdy; these kids were so noisy at night, running and yelling in the hallway, that it would wake up our granddaughter. 3) our room was next to a housekeeping storage room. 24x7 there was something loudly beeping in that housekeeping room, and it was just on the other side of the wall from our bed. Numerous times, it woke me up during the night. 4) we had a lot of issues with our room key being recognized by the parking lot kiosks. More often than not, we had to buzz 'somewhere' to get them to open the security gate for us. It was a VERY busy and congested resort. The cafeteria food service was decent. The Garden Walk from the resort to the theme park was a nice beautiful walk. The security checkpoint at the end of the Garden Walk was not crowded and we breezed right through. The pool area was good. The price was reasonable, but son-in-law said next time we are staying at a more upscale resort for more peace and quiet, more amenities, and a little closer to the park.

they have a map because the rooms all look the same. At least back in 2016. Back in 2016 the ice cream bar was not there. I would have been super in heaven.

It’s a mix between soft and firm 🤔?

I love Cabana Bay but they do need to adopt a mobile order type system.

I was wondering what was your room number with Volcano Bay view? I think a lot of us would appreciate that info so we can “try” to book our room with an actual room number request. 🙂💞 Thank you for sharing your video!

Regarding the mermaids. It's not Weeki Wachee Falls. It's Weeki Wachee Springs. If anyone cares besides me.😜

Does the lobby always feature a passed out kid on the floor? 😂

I am staying there this weekend can wait i am going to ask for that view of the volcano I am premier pass holder I am going to drive over and valet park o ya I am going to bring my Fat Tuesday cup and some edibles lol

I hope they didn't permanently get rid of the bed's throw pillows...those are a big part of the room's flawless theming.

Very informative and am looking forward to staying there in a couple of months. Just one thing… I had to mute this sometimes. You talk really fast. Otherwise, thanks for the information.

WE NEED A STAYCATION AT LOEWS ROYAL PACIFIC!🎉

10:14 I get that AllEars is primarily a Disney focused channel, but man as a person heading to Universal who’s never been to Disney, it’s tough to find channels that aren’t continually comparing or referencing Disney in relation to Universal. It’s like, dude, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Can we please just talk about Universal on its own?

Wow. Smallish tv

Cannot see Spaceship Earth from 12 miles away.😂

I'm not trying to be a sore loser, but I have a real problem with Florida resident discounts. I live at the Jersey shore, where we welcome thousands of out of staters, every year. NJ residents get nothing extra. No discounts, no free beach badges, NOTHING! I really think that's not a fair benefit.

Umm… anyone else notice the girl lying on the floor to the left in the lobby?

Stayed here last year. It was absolutely average.

A full resort, with two pools, a cafeteria, a bowling alley, a lobby bar. For 180$? Not even a glorified motel? I'm all ears.

I wish I could afford the kind of life these RU-vidrs have. Friends? I have none. Going to the parks every day? I can’t afford it. Staycation every week? Again I can’t afford it.

I’m not impressed personally it seems too much like a regular hotel

We just got back. It was Far from the parks @ 40 min round trip to walk or about the same time waiting for the bus. And fyi the bus drops you and the crowd at the main Public gates which was a slap on the face and laughable. Quicker to Uber. PASS. We paid $2300 for 3 nights with 4 park passes. Didn't find the value worth it at all. Universal was ghastly overpriced and disgustingly oversold.
