Inspired by the Florida beach resorts of the Fifties and Sixties, Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort is a retro haven. The hotel has a vintage exterior, with block colour accents and splashes of primary colours that are mirrored in the beach umbrellas surrounding the pool. Set in Universal’s Orlando Resort it is a short walk from Universal’s Volcano Bay and 25 minutes’ drive from downtown Orlando, where guests can visit the Titanic Exhibition, Ripley’s Believe It Or Not and The Wheel at ICON Park.

As well as spending days at Universal Orlando Resort theme parks, children have hours of fun on hand at the resort itself. The Cabana Courtyard and Pool has a dive tower-themed water slide and a large fire pit, while the Lazy River Courtyard and Pool features a winding river and a sand beach. Game-O-Rama is the hotel’s arcade, fitted out with old-school favourites and modern video games. Galaxy Bowl is on the second floor – a ten-lane bowling alley with a full table-service restaurant.

When you need some time to kick back, rent a poolside cabana. With room for up to six people, these chic spaces have an LCD TV, in-house pizza delivery, lounge chairs and a mini-bar – perfect for sheltering from the midday heat. Visit the Jack LaLanne Physical Fitness Studio, where there’s cardio and strength training equipment along with photos, trophies and artefacts of the gym pioneer to keep you inspired as you work out.
