If you’re planning your visit to Universal’s Volcano Bay, opening May 25, here’s some details on all the extras you can add on to your day.
We’ve already talked about ticket prices and Annual Pass options on our last article, and before that we covered the different foods of Volcano Bay.

Call 877-489-8068 for cabana details. Prices may fluctuate on a daily bases based on demand and availability. It’s possible the cabana may cost around $425 if it’s the same as it was last week…
Also, keep in mind that they may not be accepting reservations on cabanas at this time -or- are already sold out. Call for more info and you may need to get there early on Sunday and go straight to the rental window after entering the park to reserve yours.

Hi we are a party of 11 coming November 2018 and was looking at hiring a cabana. Do they include food and drinks within the price . Thanks
Alicia Stella
Unless it has changed from last year, you get a fruit basket and free water bottles, but all other food and drinks are not included. A concierge server will be able to take orders and bring you food/drinks directly to your cabana, but you’ll still need to pay for it.

I can’t seem to find any photos of the family cabana for 16 people. All the photos I see are for the regular cabana for 6 people. Do you know where I can actually see photos of the family cabanas?
