Travel agents can book their clients through MLT Vacations into a new property opening next year at Universal Orlando Resort. MLT Vacations is among the first vacation wholesalers to offer Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort to its travel agent customers. The new 1,800 room on-site hotel opens in early 2014 and is available to travel agents through MLT Vacations’ Delta Vacations and United Vacations brands.

“We work tirelessly to develop the very best product offerings,” said MLT Vacations President John Caldwell.  “Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort is sure to be a huge success, and we are thrilled to bring this attractive offer to our travel agent customers.”

The new property is the fourth hotel within Universal Orlando Resort and will evoke the classic, retro-feel of iconic beach resorts from the 1950s and 60’s.  The resort will have 900 guest rooms and 900 family suites featuring two different courtyards that will each have a unique design and atmosphere.  The North Courtyard and its 10,000-square-foot, zero-entry pool with a 100-foot water slide will open March 31, 2014.  The South Courtyard will open July 1, 2014, and feature an 8,000-square-foot, zero-entry pool including Universal’s first lazy river.The courtyards will share a highly themed, two-story arrival building that will also be home to a food court serving traditional American classics along with an ever-changing selection of international cuisine, a 10-lane “retro” bowling alley, a game room and a fitness center.

Guests at Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort will be just a brief walk from Universal Orlando’s theme parks and Universal CityWalk.  They will enjoy benefits that include Early Theme Park Admission, complimentary shuttle bus transportation to the theme parks and Universal CityWalk, complimentary delivery of merchandise purchased throughout the resort to their hotel and resort-wide charging privileges with their room key.
