ORLANDO — Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort is now open for business.

This brand-new value and moderately-priced property is the fourth on-site hotel at Universal Orlando Resort and evokes the classic, retro-feel of iconic beach resorts from the 1950s and 60s.

Located on-site at Universal Orlando Resort, the new hotel is a destination within itself – featuring a stunning design with bold colours, retro-inspired architecture and sweeping vistas.

Cabana Bay guests can experience a range of amenities throughout the hotel, including: bowling a ****** at the 10-lane Galaxy Bowl; channeling the godfather of fitness at the Jack LaLanne Physical Fitness Studio; racing down the iconic dive tower waterslide and splashing into a 10,000 square foot zero-entry pool in the Cabana Courtyard; enjoying a retro-themed specialty cocktail from Swizzle Lounge or Atomic Tonic; finding something delicious for the entire family at Bayliner Diner, a food court with something for everyone including a salad bar, burgers, sandwiches, pizza, pasta and grab-and-go items.

And this summer, guests will be able to enjoy more amenities, including a second 8,000-square-foot zero entry pool, Universal Orlando’s first lazy river at an on-site hotel, The Hideaway Bar & Grill, and additional moderately-priced family suites and value-priced standard guest rooms.

When complete, Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort will feature a total of 1,800 rooms – 900 family suites and 900 standard guest rooms.

Family suites sleeps up to six people and include a fold-out foam bed, kitchenette, a sliding partition for privacy, two flat-screen TVs and a bathroom with preparation spaces for three people at once.

Cabana Bay guests also get exclusive benefits only available to on-site hotel guests at Universal Orlando, including Early Park Admission to The Wizarding ***** of Harry Potter one hour before the theme park opens.

Rates for the family suites begin at US$174 per-night, and can run as low as $134 per-night depending on the length of stay. Rates for the standard guest rooms – which will be available this summer – begin at $119 per night, and can run as low as $93 per-night depending on the length of stay.
