Our stay at Cabana Beach was wonderful! The resort has fantastic service and a great atmosphere, which made our vacation truly special. The rooms provided a lovely sea view and were very comfortable, but we did notice some guests were not following the rules regarding pool loungers, which could be frustrating. Overall, it was a great family getaway with plenty of activities to enjoy.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at this resort. While the location is fantastic with easy access to the beach and a lovely setting for a walk along the boulevard, the condition of the rooms was quite disappointing. The amenities were decent, but the service felt lackluster and the resort's upkeep was not at the level I had hoped for based on my childhood memories. It's a shame because it has a lot of potential but it seems to be stuck in the past.

My stay at the resort was a delightful experience overall! The beautiful gardens with the palm trees and vibrant flowers really caught my eye, making the environment feel serene and welcoming. The only downside was having to navigate some stairs to access our room and the pool, which might be tricky for some. Nonetheless, the cleanliness and comfort of our unit made up for it. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family!

Unfortunately, my stay was marred by ongoing construction noises that made it impossible to relax or take an afternoon nap. The central air conditioning was also turned off for winter, leaving our room hot and stuffy. On a brighter note, the location is truly stunning, and the resort's amenities are fantastic. However, I expected a more peaceful environment for a getaway, especially with kids.

Rooms

The rooms were clean but lacked adequate ventilation due to the non-functioning air conditioning. This made our stay quite uncomfortable, especially as we were on the ground floor with limited views.

My stay at Cabana Beach Resort was quite mixed. While the location is fantastic, right near the beach and close to restaurants, and the rooms were generally clean and comfortable, there were several areas that definitely need improvement. The service, while friendly, struggled with the heavy timeshare check-in traffic. Overall, it is a comfortable stay but not without its shortcomings.
