Universal Orlando’s third theme park brought two more budget-friendly hotel options, but they just don’t measure up to the resort’s original value hotel.
My June 2025 Universal trip was my fourth stay overall at Cabana Bay Beach Resort (read my earlier review here). This time, it had been preceded by stays at those new options, Universal’s Terra Luna and Stella Nova Resorts, which are both within walking distance of Epic Universe.
That proximity was really the only highlight of those newer resorts. The gulf in quality was obvious once I checked into Cabana Bay, so I thought I’d do a different kind of one-take hotel room tour.
