      It isn't a Universal Orlando Resort Hotel... but I would really recommend giving Silver Lake Resort a chance and review. It's a beautiful place, and has become my wife and I's favorite place to stay.
      But if it has to be an on property or Universal Owned Hotel... I wanna see more about the Hard Rock hotel.

    I stayed at Cabana Bay last year. I wanted to do the pool on my last day, but didn't want to get on the plane without showering, etc. The helpful guys at luggage services encouraged me to use the fitness center. I packed a day bag and put it up in the fitness center (free lockers that have combination locks). When I was done at the pool, I took a shower, dressed, fixed my hair, etc. Then I picked up my luggage and went to the airport. The locker room had great shower and dressing facilities with shampoo, soap, towels and hair dryers. It was a great convenience and such a nice way to end my vacation.

    Excellent video but you didn’t mention one of the best parts! I tell everyone you can walk across the street from cabana bay to Sapphire Falls and go out back and take the water shuttle. We did that most of the time. The regular bus shuttle is just like the ones at dockside/Surfside, etc. but we enjoyed walking across the street and outback of Sapphire Falls and taking the shuttles. You bypass all of CityWalk. But yeah, cabana Bay is great for kids, one side has the big pool with slide, and the other side has the big pool with the lazy river, and if you purchase a float for the lazy river, they’ll give you one already blown up, and after you are done swimming, you return it and they give you a brand new one in the package to take home so it fits in your suitcase. It’s awesome. Plus they have a frozen yogurt making machine which is great.

It was still under construction in November when I was there. 😊😊

    I'm pretty sure y'all were there when I was there! Cabana Bay is one of my favorite Universal hotels. There's so much to do, the pools are great, the lazy river is super fun, the food is pretty good (I had churrasco last week and it was delicious) you can go bowling (!!!), it's close to the parks, and if you're feeling risky, you can cross the street and take a water taxi from Sapphire Falls without paying the Sapphire Falls price (same with Aventura). Unfortunately, it's a freakin' huge resort, so that can make it hard getting back to your room after a long day at the parks, but the aesthetic and the vibes totally make it worth it for me. Plus, if you have boomer family members, the 60's theme will absolutely win them over (my mom approves).

    Love the retro motel vs hotel feel. We stayed at adventura recently and had zero complaints. For me, it’s mostly about walking to the parks, which I did probably 15 times in 6 days. Also everyone should know that if you stay at any of Universal
    S hotels, you can get a pass to swim in any of the pools. That was easy too.

    Also, I thought the beds were super comfortable! I had a Volcano tower room and the view was tremendous! It is a bit of a walk though to get from the lobby to the tower, but I got used to it once Iearned my way. And you can ways walk through the garden path that goes alongside the pool. It's a nice walk that way. One last comment, they turn on pool music about 8am every morning. It's subtle when you're up in the room, but still noticeable if you're trying to sleep in.

    LOVE CB! I've stayed here twice, and at Hard Rock once. We prefer CB (especially if you don't need express passes). Last week of Jan this year my daughter and I stayed at CB and hit the parks mid-week. It was lovely. She loved the theming, the food, everything about the resort. We had a suite up on the 3rd floor facing the pool, right near the walking path to the parks. Perfect. The walk wasn't bad - we walked TO, and bussed back. It takes the same amount of time, just saves your legs after 25K steps! Great review.

    We love Cabana Bay Beach Resort. The prices have really started going up quite a bit unfortunately but it's still a great hotel. We love the aesthetics, the rooms are nice, they have a lot of food options including out by the pool area and the pool is incredible. The fact that they have a beach area and lazy river is next level for us. There's really nothing about Cabana Bay that we don't like. Amazing review.

    • @largol33t1
      @largol33t1 Год назад +4

      Sadly, I think SOME of the price increases can be blamed on Disney. Let me explain: Disney has really angered a lot of longtime customers with their mismanagement and that's putting it VERY lightly. They have grossly miscalculated changes in the market and how visitors to Orlando perceive not only Universal but all theme parks, including Disney, Legoland, Sea World, Busch Gardens, etc. The neglect is showing in the parks. Guests are complaining that not only is maintenance looking shoddy but food prices have gone up along with prices on well, everrryyyythiiing else. Well, now that everyone has flocked to their worst enemy Universal, the bean counters over there don't have to worry too much about pricing since they know that the Mickey Mafia are imploding. They are no longer as generous with discounts or sales prices as they used to because the crowds seem to be getting a bit bigger every year. I hope that the opening of Epic Universal helps bring prices down as there will be hotels onsite there. Unfortunately, it might not open for another two years. I fully intend to be there on the first year of operation. I have never in my life been to a brand new theme park so if I can get there, it will be a once in a lifetime opportunity for me.

    • @TripNWithRed
      @TripNWithRed Год назад +3

      @@largol33t1 I completely agree. We were Disney enthusiasts and I'd have to say we still are but the mismanagement and price hikes pushed us away. We spend a ton of time at Universal now and a little at Disney World. Greed got the better of Disney and Universal was wise to take advantage of Disney's stupidity. Smart move on the part of Universal but now those prices are quite a bit higher. Supply and demand I guess. Epic Universe will be amazing and I'm hoping it thins the crowds a bit from the parks.

    We've stayed at Aventura, Saphirre Falls and Cabana Bay. I think the Bay is easily the best of that group. We walk to the parks and the walk is quite pleasant. The entrance going that route almost sneaks you into the city walk area. It also appears to have a back entrance to Volcano Bay (which we didn't go to). I enjoy the retro commercials and what not they have in one of the dining areas. The pool at Aventura is kind of meh though I like their rooftop bar. The room we had at Aventure was really cooll. It was on the end and had curved wall to ceiling windows. Saphirre may have the best pool of the group. Cool review.
