Universal Orlando Unveils Cabana Bay Beach Resort – Retro‑Themed Family Hotel

Universal Orlando Resort has officially launched its newest on‑site hotel, Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort, delivering a nostalgic 1950s‑60s experience for families.

Pack your hula hoop and grab your capris—Cabana Bay is the fourth hotel at Universal Orlando Resort and the first priced in the moderate‑to‑value category, opening with 600 family suites.

From kitschy period signage to psychedelic colors, starburst chandeliers, and retro‑chic furnishings, the resort immerses guests in the golden age of rock ’n’ roll and space age optimism.

Key Highlights of Cabana Bay Beach Resort

Below are the top amenities and activities that set Cabana Bay apart:

• Early admission to Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure, plus on‑property transportation and other on‑site perks.
• Family suites that accommodate up to six guests, featuring a fold‑out foam bed, kitchenette, sliding partition for privacy, two flat‑screen TVs, and a spacious bathroom.
• Bathrooms are cleverly divided into three zones, allowing multiple family members to get ready simultaneously while preserving privacy.
• Guest rooms boast period‑inspired colors, terrazzo floors, wood paneling, built‑in furniture, and large flat‑screen TVs that remind you of the era.
• The main pool offers a zero‑degree entry and a splash‑down slide that travels through a faux Triple Lindy dive tower.
• Atomic Tonic, the poolside bar, serves the signature cocktail—vodka blended with pineapple juice and lemonade—an ode to 1970s pop culture.
• Galaxy Bowl, a vintage‑style bowling alley, lets guests challenge each other on 10 lanes.
• Jack LaLanne fitness center, named after the pioneering fitness icon, provides a full workout space for guests of all ages.
• Future expansion plans include an additional 300 family suites, 900 standard rooms, and a lazy river to complete the resort’s offerings.
