An Introduction to Volcano Bay’s Cabana Rentals for Guests Who Aren’t Sure If They’re Worth It

What are Volcano Bay Cabanas?

The Volcano Bay Cabanas are cabanas located at this Orlando waterpark that a guest can rent. They are available for rent in the form of a full day, although sometimes, if a guest has left early you may be able to purchase and use until closing time. You do not need to be a Universal hotel guest to rent them.

The Cabanas at Volcano Bay are a great way to enjoy the waterpark without constantly getting up to queue for rides or grab food and drinks.

There are 51 cabanas dotted around prime locations in the waterpark. Ten are tower block units with two upstairs units and two downstairs units: there is an elevator to reach the top of some if needed. The majority are stand alone buildings which are Single Cabana Units but two are larger Family Cabana Units.

Tips for Selecting the Best Location for Your Cabana at Volcano Bay

The location of the cabana is important to consider. You’ll want a location that is close enough to the water slides or your preferred area, but far enough so that you don’t have a long walk back. Also if you use a wheelchair, you can request an accessible cabana in advance. Otherwise you can only request a specific cabana on entry to the park.

The accessible cabanas have ramps to enter instead of stairs. They are easily reachable by a concrete walkway. Other cabanas will involve steps and walking on sand to access them.

Best Cabanas if you have Young Children: Cabanas 11, 12 are good options if your kids will be in the kids play area the majority of the time.

The Family Cabanas are 1 and 3 and close to the volcano. Cabana 2 is a Single Unit.

Best Cabanas for Views: Cabanas 4- 8 look towards the wave pool. Number 6 is a double cabana with 2 upstairs and 2 downstairs labelled A,B,C or D. People rate the upper cabanas here because of the views!

Best Cabanas for Shade: Single Cabana Units 9 & 10 are at the back of the wave pool and back on to rocks, offering extra shade protection.

Which Cabanas have Elevators? Cabana 13 and 14.

Other information: Cabanas 17 – 23 are on the far left of the volcano and set back from the path with chairs out front.- these are all in a good location, with 17, 18 & 19 close to the Ohno and Ohyah slides. Despite these cabanas backing onto the freeway, the sound is masked by the sounds of the park.
