If you are a fan of vintage ’50s and ’60s minimalist designs – and who isn’t – Cabana Bay is the place for you. (photo by dining locations, you’ll find some tables have been taken out of commission to ensure social distancing between groups. (photo by will find hand sanitizer at every elevator bank, or any other place at the hotel where you’ll be touching something another guest may have touched (such as a gate into the pool area). Apparently Cabana Bay also not accepting “IOUs” from The Unofficial Guides‘ own Seth Kubersky, despite his insistence “they’re as good as cash!” (photo by distance reminders at every elevator.

Like the masks, there is no “ifs, ands, or buts.” Temp check at Cabana Bay. If your wristband comes off (or you rip it off, like our kiddos did), you’re going to have to get your temperature taken again. Each day is a different colored wristband, so you will need to get your temperature taken each day of your trip. If your temperature is under 100.4 degrees you will get a colored wristband to wear. With that out of the way, let’s get to some more things Cabana Bay is doing for guest safety, such as the previously mentioned “temp check.” Every guest coming into Cabana Bay gets their temperature taken. This may not seem like much to those reading this at home, but I have not seen this type of diligence anywhere else I have been in the entire state. I’ve seen Team Members and Cast Members in the parks kindly remind guests to pull their masks above their nose. I’ve seen temperature check security guards tell guests they couldn’t enter a hotel without a mask. I’ve seen bus drivers tell guests they couldn’t get on a bus without a mask. Over the last six months, Universal and Disney are the only two places I have EVER seen employees not only tell people who weren’t wearing masks they had to wear them, but also remind guests to wear them correctly. I wear a mask at work and everywhere we go when I’m not at home. Now, my “day job” is in the medical field and because of that I have been wearing a mask every single day since about the middle of March. Let’s take something as simple as wearing a mask.

The immediate success of Cabana Bay led to the fast tracking of a collection of resorts which more than doubled the amount of rooms at Universal including Aventura, Sapphire Falls, and Surfside Inn & Suites.įor those who have never been to the Universal Orlando Resort, Cabana Bay is located right next to Aventura and Sapphire Falls. It seems like a million years ago now, but when Cabana Bay opened in 2014 it was Universal’s first on-site hotel that was targeted to a different audience from the premium experiences offered by the Hard Rock Hotel, Royal Pacific Resort, and Portofino Bay. Today we’re heading into pound for pound the best “value” hotel in Orlando, Cabana Bay… Cabana Bay Beach Resort. This week’s SATURDAY SIX spends a night at Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort ! We’ve been making our way around the Universal Orlando Resort since their reopening after an unprecedented months-long shutdown to see what changes have been made to their on-site hotels.
