ORLANDO, FL - April 1, 2014 - Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort officially welcomes its first guests today. This brand-new value and moderately-priced property is the fourth on-site hotel at Universal Orlando Resort and evokes the classic, retro-feel of iconic beach resorts from the 1950s and 60's.

Located on-site at Universal Orlando Resort, the new hotel is a destination within itself - featuring a stunning design with bold colors, retro-inspired architecture and sweeping vistas that transport guests back to a time of relaxation and endless family fun. Cabana Bay guests can experience incredible amenities throughout the hotel, including:

• Bowling a strike at the 10-lane Galaxy Bowl

• Channeling the godfather of fitness at the Jack LaLanne Physical Fitness Studio
• Racing down the iconic dive tower waterslide and splashing into a 10,000 square foot zero-entry pool in the Cabana Courtyard
• Enjoying a retro-themed specialty cocktail from Swizzle Lounge or Atomic Tonic
• Finding something delicious for the entire family at Bayliner Diner, a food court with something for everyone to enjoy including a salad bar, burgers, sandwiches, pizza, pasta and grab-and-go items • And this summer, guests will be able to enjoy even more incredible amenities, including a second 8,000-square-foot zero entry pool, Universal Orlando's first lazy river at an on-site hotel, The Hideaway Bar & Grill, and additional moderately-priced family suites and value-priced standard guest rooms.

When complete, Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort will feature a total of 1,800 rooms - 900 family suites and 900 standard guest rooms.

Starting today, guests can stay in a family suite, which sleeps up to six people and includes a fold-out foam bed, kitchenette, a sliding partition for privacy, two flat-screen TVs and a bathroom with preparation spaces for three people at once. Cabana Bay guests also get exclusive benefits only available to on-site hotel guests at Universal Orlando, including Early Park Admission to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter one hour before the theme park opens.

Rates for the family suites begin at $174 per-night, and can run as low as $134 per-night depending on the length of stay. Rates for the standard guest rooms - which will be available this summer - begin at $119 per night, and can run as low as $93 per-night depending on the length of stay.

"We've sought to create a special place where families can spend time together and create long-lasting memories outside of the theme parks," said Russ Dagon, Vice President and Executive Project Director, Universal Creative. "From the moment they step inside, families will be transported back to a different, more relaxing time."

"We are thrilled to finally welcome guests into Cabana Bay Beach Resort," said Adnan Bizri, Managing Director, Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort. "This is the perfect addition to Universal Orlando's already stellar line-up of properties, allowing families to continue a wonderful vacation well beyond the theme parks."
