Universal's Cabana Bay Resort Update
At a press event today we were shown a mockup of the rooms at the new, 1800-room hotel at Universal Orlando Resort that will feature value-priced guest rooms and moderately priced family suites. The hotel is scheduled to open in early 2014 - with reservations now being accepted for stays beginning on March 31st 2014. |

North Courtyard (Reservations available from March 31st 2014)
First to open, the North Courtyard and its 600 family suites will be inspired by the sweeping motels of the 1950s and 60s. It will feature four-story buildings with open corridors and direct access to guest rooms. Each of the 600, 430-square-foot suites will sleep up to six and include a fold-out foam bed, kitchenette, a sliding partition for privacy, two flat-screen TVs, and an extra-large bathroom with space for three people at once. The suite buildings will surround a more than 10,000-square-foot, zero-entry pool with a 100-foot water slide, waterfall features and 4,000-square-foot interactive play area. Cabanas will be available to guests for rent, and lounge chairs will ring the deck, backed by zones for sunbathing, game playing, picnicking and relaxing on the grass. South Courtyard (Opening Later in 2014) The South Courtyard will also be inspired by the 50s and 60s, but with an entirely different feel. The South Courtyard will feature a colourful, tropical resort design with serpentine, seven-story towers flowing like waves around a massive pool and lazy-river complex. A more than 8,000-square-foot, zero-entry pool with a 6,000-square-foot sand beach will offer plenty of entertainment options, including the first lazy river at Universal Orlando Resort and a 700-foot-long feature offering multiple interactive zones. In addition to 300 suites, the towers will feature 900 guest rooms that are each 300-square-feet and that sleep four and include two queen beds and mini-fridge.

I presume the value priced rooms ain't available as yet, unless they were all away.
I did a quick look for end of June next year and the price was $521 for 2 nights, £165 per night, LOL. The hotel does look excellent, but ooooooft, some price. FD

We are staying 4nts next Nov, it's not cheap but is cheaper than AoA budget family suites and we get early entry to WWoHP though no FOLP but since low crowds when we go I can live with that, can't afford HRH.
I just can't decide between the North and South courtyard? With the buggy I must admit I find external corridors easier, but prefer the sound of the pool area with the lazy river. Edited at 02:55 PM. |
