That's what brings up a small downside: the cafeteria can get crowded QUICKLY. If you're taking advantage of early entry to the parks, you better make sure you set aside enough time to wait in line at the cafeteria.
Oh my gosh! I was thinking the exact same thing! Thanks for figuring that out. It was driving me crazy, bc I couldn't figure out what was different. Lol!
Molly, the fitness center is pronounced Jack LaLane. He was a fitness guru popular from the 60's- 80's. I think most popular in the 70's. -more cute theming on the hotel's part.
Cabana Bay was awesome! I loved it! You could walk to the next resort and take a boat to inside the park area! And you had bowling, great food and swimming. Just beautiful!
We love It at universal. If you want we walk across the street from cabana to adventura/sapphire falls it is pretty quick, then we hop on the boat at sapphire falls which drops u off pretty close.
I love Cabana Bay Beach Resort. I've stayed there in 2016, 2017, and 2019 in different room types for my Universal family vacation trips. Our next trip will be in the fall and we'll be staying at Lowes Royal Pacific. I highly recommend staying at Universal hotels for family vacations. All of them have amenities and are worth the stays.
Love the variety of series on the channel! The staycation hotel tours are great for new and repeat visitors. Seems like there’s always a bunch of stuff at the hotels we miss running back and forth to the parks.
You can also walk from Cabana Bay to Sapphire and take the boat shuttles, we do that when we go, it’s super quick and lets you clear security ahead of the park.
Loved this video and seeing more on Universal Resorts! I’d love to see Molly stay at the other resorts especially Portofino Bay! You don’t hear or see much on the Universal Resorts like you do Disney Resorts. But I’d also love to see Molly stay at every resort Universal and Disney both! Love how she gives info on everything, tries the food, and shows the rooms and the whole resort itself! Thank you for these vids!❤️
We stayed at Adventura across the street and used the Sapphire's water taxi to get to the parks so you could probably walk across the street from Cabana Bay too and use that mode of transportation!
Stayed here in October and loved it. So much so that we’re going back in March for 5 nights. I’m an older fart, but even with a lot of kids here, the place has a very cool, relaxed vibe. We live in South Florida and go to Orlando every year, for the past 25 years, but it’s always a WDW moderate or value resort. Cabana Bay blew them all away in every way.
TOTALLY loving the retro vibe. And the lobby has a straight up 50s/60s Americana Hotel feel....the one that used to be in Miami. The bit with the trees in the middle is really similar to the one that they had.
Best video she has ever done. Very well done!! Can’t wait to return to this hotel in June! We love it a lot. Was glad to be able to see what’s currently going on- bummed to see hot tubs not open! Cabana Bay is always a highlight to our vacation experience
Molly you always take a big bite ! Its a characteristic of you a great one! You enjoy your food that is not a bad thing. Thank you Molly . For taking one for the team great job.
Thanks for such a thorough and fun review of Cabana Bay! Its the only place we stay. LAZY RIVER FTW! Its nice to see someone else's mind blown by it being called a 'value resort'. I subscribed to this channel just because of this video. :)
We love everything about Cabana Bay and have stayed there twice! We are trying out Hard Rock in December. We would LOVE to see Molly cover that resort! 😍
I'm seriously IMPRESSED!!! Wow, could definitely see doing the parks 2 days & spending an extra day around the resort! Really reasonable pricing on everything on site. Thank you!!!
My sister and I stayed there for HHN a few years ago and it was THE BEST! The pools are awesome, the rooms are cute and comfy for a decent price, and the whole vibe is just fun
Awesome! Molly’s doing the Universal Hotels! I first saw her on the Disney resort hotels and I was hooked. 😝 Please do all the Universal hotels Molly! I’m going to Cabana Bay soon and was delighted you did this! Thanks 🙏 soo much!
Can I say I have always enjoyed how you embrace the messiness of eating. I'm the same way girl! You eating the smores with your marshmallow mustache was pretty comical! In addition to comic relief you put out some great videos with super helpful information! Can't wait to try those fish tacos in June! Thanks for the thorough review!
Loved the walking section, but our plan is to walk over to sapphire falls and catch the boat from there to and from the parks. Is it ok to do that? Or is frowned upon etc etc? 🇺🇸🏴
My first time in Orlando we stayed and the endless summer resort and it was fine but not anything special. I wanted to switch it up next time and picked cabana bay because it was another value resort and was just blown away by how pretty and nice it was definitely returning for any future trips
And when everything turns back to normal they have free movie nights at the pool and so much fun activities. I'll never stay on Disney property ever again or they significantly need to upgrade their offerings for a better price. Universal is the new Disney for me.
This video was perfect timing. We will be at Cabana Bay this month. I was pleasantly surprised that the value resort has so much to offer compared to Disney’s value resorts. And $99 with pass holder discount is untouchable at Disney. I’m very excited to be a new pass holder at Universal now. I was a little hesitant still when the husband insisted we get them. Can’t wait for that lazy river. 😁
Love the resort tour and the highlighting of all the amenities. Please do this for a stay at the Cabins at Wilderness Lodge and show how to get around the resort as well as to and from the parks.
Thank you Molly-All Ears for this video. My Family and I will be traveling to Universal Studios in 5 days staying at Cabana Bay Resort....This Video was very helpful for us 1st timers.
Love the video. Do any of Cabana Bay restaurants have mobile ordering? I would love to order dinner on bus back to Cabana bay and then pickup on the way back to the room.
I adored my stay at Cabana Bay back at Christmas! We stayed in American and it made everything so convenient. We'll definitely be staying there again. If you have a picky eater in your group it's a great place to stay.
I really wanted to stay here but my in-laws are coming and I needed to stay off property to financially afford the trip. Next time we go to Orlando, I definitely want to stay here! It has EVERYTHING.
I also love the kids meals in Bayliner diner. Cheese pizza with apples or carrots and a drink for like $8.50. I love doing a little smorgasbord to take back to the room.
THANKS, MOLLY & ALL EARS!!! Universal's resort hotels are a better value than Disney World's, in my opinion. And having to make restaurant reservations for popular Disney restaurants SIX MONTHS IN ADVANCE makes planning a Disney vacation about as much fun for me as doing my taxes. What a pain. I love the Express Passes we get at 3 of the Universal Hotels, but if I come out for Halloween Horror Nights, I'll try Cabana Bay! Universal hired brilliant architects & designers with excellent taste!
I’m not M and M, but I stayed there during our last trip. My group walked to the park every day....so close! And so quick to get in. We generally boated back each evening. The hotel itself was comfortable and the pool was great. Food options, eh. We ate at Citywalk most evenings. Despite being a premier hotel, we felt the perks were worth it...especially that included express pass!
We were going to stay at Cabana Bay for a night but changed our plans . However, it looks great and I am glad that we at least considered it. Side note: It is pronounced "year-o" not "guy-ro". (We have a Greek festival in our town every Oct so you get used to hearing it). All in all, another great Molly video to make me excited about our future trips.
You are so much fun! We have a family of 7 and the 2 bedroom suite there would be amazing! The price is great too. Thank you for this amazing review! I totally want that grilled cheese too lol!!
Watched 20 videos about cabana bay and as always Molly is the best, cover and show everything. She is the best!
Seriously Cabana Bay is SO SO SO SO underrated. So many fun activities and the food is actually so yummy!! We LOVE cabana Bay
That's what brings up a small downside: the cafeteria can get crowded QUICKLY. If you're taking advantage of early entry to the parks, you better make sure you set aside enough time to wait in line at the cafeteria.
The fact that you're right by Volcano Bay makes it worth it by its own honestly, but even without that it's a really cool and packed resort hotel!
I kept looking at Molly thinking something’s missing...and then I realized I’m too used to seeing her with Minnie ears 😅
Oh my gosh! I was thinking the exact same thing! Thanks for figuring that out. It was driving me crazy, bc I couldn't figure out what was different. Lol!
I just did the same thing!! I was like what is different today.... 😅😅
I watched this entirely because I was feeling nostalgic for my stay at Cabana Bay. Thanks for the good vibes!
Perfect coverage! Molly is the reason why I follow AllEars!
Molly, the fitness center is pronounced Jack LaLane. He was a fitness guru popular from the 60's- 80's. I think most popular in the 70's. -more cute theming on the hotel's part.
My mom watched him all the time when I was really little
I have to say... I grew up watching him! lol I was thrilled to see that center there and my son worked out every day on his vacation time too!
My mom had a Jack Lalanne power juicer when I was younger lol
Seems that Universal is jumping far ahead of Disney as far as value for your money. This hurts my Disney heart.
@@AlliBites I remember those ads on tv
A Molly video over an hour??? yes please!!!x
This has been said sooo many times.
My favorite thing about Universal hotels is the text service. I love being able to ask someone a question at any time.
I think this is the best bowling scene I have ever seen. finaly people who bowl like me🤣
Excellent vid. We love Cabana Bay...we are Disney people but this resort is our favorite.
Cabana bay has been amazing since opening when we stayed there.
Love Quincy’s Half Blood Prince shirt!
The swizzle lounge is THE BEST!! Best bartenders by far.
The Jaws and Harry Potter shirts are both awesome.
I love the hotel texting feature
Just booked our first stay for December. Got a fantastic military rate and I’m excited!
Cabana Bay was awesome! I loved it! You could walk to the next resort and take a boat to inside the park area! And you had bowling, great food and swimming. Just beautiful!
...that grilled cheese... and tomato soup.. i can almost smell it ;.;
That pause during the lemon-garlic bite. 😂
Thanks for doing videos on the universal hotels! I really think they're better value than the Disney resorts.
We love It at universal. If you want we walk across the street from cabana to adventura/sapphire falls it is pretty quick, then we hop on the boat at sapphire falls which drops u off pretty close.
I LOVE Cabana Bay! They gave me a free upgrade to a suite for my birthday one year and I've only had great experiences there! 🙌
I love Cabana Bay Beach Resort. I've stayed there in 2016, 2017, and 2019 in different room types for my Universal family vacation trips.

As soon as I sore the 1 hour video and heard staycation I was like its time to get excited.... ❤️❤️
i was literally just thinking id to love to see another universal resort review and i guess you just read my mind
Love the guest appearance from Quincy.Great video, very informative and fun to watch
We stayed at Adventura across the street and used the Sapphire's water taxi to get to the parks so you could probably walk across the street from Cabana Bay too and use that mode of transportation!

Molly you’re the boss when it comes to info! You’re always on point! 👍☺️
TOTALLY loving the retro vibe. And the lobby has a straight up 50s/60s Americana Hotel feel....the one that used to be in Miami. The bit with the trees in the middle is really similar to the one that they had.
It’s just flat out a great resort!!
I’ve heard you can walk from Cabana Bay to another resort and take a boat?! How far is that and how long would it take?
Anyone hear date night and hope Alan would be there!??
I've finally found people who bowl as well as I do 😁. Cabana Bay looks like a lot of fun. I would love to see Molly do a video on Sapphire Falls.
Best video she has ever done. Very well done!! Can’t wait to return to this hotel in June! We love it a lot. Was glad to be able to see what’s currently going on- bummed to see hot tubs not open! Cabana Bay is always a highlight to our vacation experience
Molly you always take a big bite ! Its a characteristic of you a great one! You enjoy your food that is not a bad thing. Thank you Molly . For taking one for the team great job.
Love Quincy’s shirt and I need Molly to review some Citiwalk restaurants, especially Toothsome or just some of her favs in general.
It is so cool to watch you do this stuff because I really want to go back to Disney and universal
Thanks for such a thorough and fun review of Cabana Bay! Its the only place we stay. LAZY RIVER FTW! Its nice to see someone else's mind blown by it being called a 'value resort'. I subscribed to this channel just because of this video. :)
Maybe next time you two go bowling you could ask for the gutter bumpers.That might help.
That is a fantastic hotel! The room rate and the cost of the cabana is incredible!
Loved the tour Molly! So much fun!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🤗👍👏
So there is a difference between the mugs! I'm so thankful you mentioned that!! Love you videos! VERY informative!!! Thank you!!!!
We love everything about Cabana Bay and have stayed there twice! We are trying out Hard Rock in December. We would LOVE to see Molly cover that resort! 😍
Molly! Such a great video! You girls made me feel so much better about my bowling 🎳 This is our favorite hotel and we loved tagging along 😍
This is a great video! Molly makes it easy to watch an hour plus video. Thank you for all your research and info
I'm seriously IMPRESSED!!! Wow, could definitely see doing the parks 2 days & spending an extra day around the resort! Really reasonable pricing on everything on site. Thank you!!!
My sister and I stayed there for HHN a few years ago and it was THE BEST! The pools are awesome, the rooms are cute and comfy for a decent price, and the whole vibe is just fun
This is great. I needed to learn about the universal options. And Molly's face when she had that lemon garlic sauce!
Molly and the s’mores 😆🖤
Would love to see more of these reviews at the Premier Universal resorts!!!
This has to be the best and most thorough review of that hotel. I didn’t know it had a lazy river. Great review.
Might want to check ur data on using an in park freestyle cup at CBBR. You may have misspoken.
The herb roast chicken in Bayliner diner is seriously some of the best roast chicken I've ever had!
Awesome! Molly’s doing the Universal Hotels! I first saw her on the Disney resort hotels and I was hooked. 😝 Please do all the Universal hotels Molly! I’m going to Cabana Bay soon and was delighted you did this! Thanks 🙏 soo much!
Literally was just there this past weekend.Loved the way you did this video. We really loved this hotel. Plan on staying there again
Can I say I have always enjoyed how you embrace the messiness of eating. I'm the same way girl! You eating the smores with your marshmallow mustache was pretty comical! In addition to comic relief you put out some great videos with super helpful information! Can't wait to try those fish tacos in June! Thanks for the thorough review!
Thanks for showing us the hotel. Can you tell me/us if they have transportation to/from the airport?. Thanks for your time
Thank you so much for doing this video! It’s so helpful!!
Loved the walking section, but our plan is to walk over to sapphire falls and catch the boat from there to and from the parks. Is it ok to do that? Or is frowned upon etc etc? 🇺🇸🏴
We stayed at Cabana Bay for our first trip to Universal in 2019... loved it there!
Do you get out of line to get a locker? Or are you getting the locker before the queue? How does that work?
My first time in Orlando we stayed and the endless summer resort and it was fine but not anything special. I wanted to switch it up next time and picked cabana bay because it was another value resort and was just blown away by how pretty and nice it was definitely returning for any future trips
And when everything turns back to normal they have free movie nights at the pool and so much fun activities. I'll never stay on Disney property ever again or they significantly need to upgrade their offerings for a better price. Universal is the new Disney for me.
Cabana Bay is fun. Only stay at that hotel for the lazy river. I can’t wait until Aventura and SF opens back up!
We just stayed there this past week. Had a great time.
AWESOME and INFORMATIONAL VIDEO!
Great timing, I'm staying here this month. Thanks Molly!
No way! I check in tomorrow! Perfect timing!
This video was perfect timing. We will be at Cabana Bay this month. I was pleasantly surprised that the value resort has so much to offer compared to Disney’s value resorts. And $99 with pass holder discount is untouchable at Disney. I’m very excited to be a new pass holder at Universal now. I was a little hesitant still when the husband insisted we get them.

Great review. I must say, your Universal videos are more fun than Disney.

This was a fantastic resort tour. Well done Molly.
Thank you Molly-All Ears for this video. My Family and I will be traveling to Universal Studios in 5 days staying at Cabana Bay Resort....This Video was very helpful for us 1st timers.
That was the most enjoyable bowling I've ever witnessed. I'm thinking you should get some shirts and start a bowling team.
I love Cabana Bay.
Love the video. Do any of Cabana Bay restaurants have mobile ordering? I would love to order dinner on bus
back to Cabana
bay and then pickup on the way back to the room.
I adored my stay at Cabana Bay back at Christmas! We stayed in American and it made everything so convenient. We'll definitely be staying there again. If you have a picky eater in your group it's a great place to stay.
Why didn't you take the water taxi to & from the park? You could have just walked across the street to Sapphire Falls & caught the boat...
I guess I didn’t realize that Molly was married. We’re staying here in June. We can’t wait! I’m a big SVU fan myself!
I was also blown away at Cabana Bay - the Family Suites are amazing too! -- K
I really wanted to stay here but my in-laws are coming and I needed to stay off property to financially afford the trip. Next time we go to Orlando, I definitely want to stay here! It has EVERYTHING.
I also love the kids meals in Bayliner diner. Cheese pizza with apples or carrots and a drink for like $8.50. I love doing a little smorgasbord to take back to the room.
Love this resort review! Definitely will book here in the future.
I would love to see you do this same kind of tour over at Aventura! Thank you, Molly! Loving these Universal hotel tours.
Thank you for this video! I’ll be there in a few weeks so it was very timely and helpful!
Loving the resort stays!!
I just love allears videos. Always expecting my daily dose.
Very useful info! Definitely going to walk to the parks in the morning for my summer trip. Also loved the bowling intermission!

I LOVE Cabana Bay. 💙
Ugh..wait... Disney no longer has the merchandise to room option?? I have to schlep all my stuff around???
I have a trip in May to Hard Rock. I'd love to hear Molly and Morgan review the resort and experience.
I’m not M and M, but I stayed there during our last trip. My group walked to the park every day....so close! And so quick to get in. We generally boated back each evening.

I grew up with many Greeks and they say yee-roe
You are so much fun! We have a family of 7 and the 2 bedroom suite there would be amazing! The price is great too. Thank you for this amazing review! I totally want that grilled cheese too lol!!
My favorite resort in Orlando
Best time to go !!! Now to many people!!!!!
