If you’ve ever stepped into Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort, you know it transports you straight into Florida beach resorts of the 1950s and 1960s. Each detail is vibrant and retro and nothing is overlooked to create a place you can’t wait to get back to, even when you’re surrounded by three incredible theme parks.
But what if there was even more than what meets the eye? Lean in as I share 5 hidden gems that will forever change your stay at Cabana Bay.
1. S’more the Merrier
After a long and adventurous day at the parks, there isn’t a better way to refuel than a good old-fashioned s’more. Situated within walking distance of Cabana Bay’s two pool bars, the resort boasts 4 fire pits to kick up your feet at, located in both pool courtyards.
S’more kits are available at the Bayliner Diner, or you can bring your own supplies. Whether you like your marshmallow golden brown or scorched and crunchy, I think we can all agree that nothing caps off the day like s’mores.
2. Lazy River = Retro Relaxation
Be transported into relaxation while beating the heat in Cabana Bay’s lazy river. While there are also 2 beautiful pools for guests to dip in on hot summer days, the calming current of the lazy river is unique to Cabana Bay. Plop into in an inner tube and let the river help you wind down.
3. Start the Day on the Right Foot With the Volcano Bay Walking Path
This hidden gem makes your day at Volcano Bay a “walk” in the park! The resort is connected to Volcano Bay with a walking path. Because why should it be hard to get to paradise?
4. The Good Times Won’t Be Spared at Galaxy Bowl
Just when you thought Cabana Bay Beach Resort couldn’t get better, Galaxy Bowl shows up on your radar. This ten-lane themed bowling alley provides fun for all of the family. Plus, you can enjoy a full selection of appetizers, entrees, and drinks from a full-service bar. You can even play a round of black light bowl at night. Whether you’re bowling strikes or still using bumpers, Galaxy Bowl is sure to be one of your favorite parts of Cabana Bay.
5. Swizzle Lounge is the Place to Hang
This is not your typical lobby lounge. Have your choice of seating at the bar or in the cozy lounge area while sipping on vintage drinks like a New Side Car or Spiced Mai Tai. There are delicious snacks to enjoy too, like an Asian nut mix that is to die for!
