Rooms in the Bayside or Beachside towers boast some of the best views on Universal Orlando Resort property, hands down. These sleek glass towers are positioned next to Universal Volcano Bay. From your room, you’ll be treated to a stunning panorama of the water park’s Krakatau volcano and the Orlando skyline. The slight upcharge for these rooms is well worth it—you’ll wake up to a view that feels like paradise!
2. Distance from the Parks
Universal Cabana Bay Beach Resort is located on Universal Orlando Resort property, putting you just moments away from Universal CityWalk and its connected parks: Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure.

Volcano Bay is only steps away from the resort, with less than a five-minute walk. Universal Cabana Bay Beach Resort offers a complimentary bus transportation system that runs every 10 minutes or so, providing quick and easy access to CityWalk, Volcano Bay, and soon, the highly anticipated Epic Universe.
