Cabana Bar and Beach Club

Was looking to get lunch outside of Disney parks and on our hotel property ... beach club did exactly that. As this restaurant is the only restaurant opened for lunch on property, we were very limited as to what we could choose. Glad we did! Located outside near swan and dolphins smaller pool, beach bar provided excellent service. They also spilt every meal for the two of us and were very accommodating. Pricing wasn't bad as it was $66 for an appetizer & two entrees. The dynamite shrimp bowl was my favorite ! Packed with flavor!

Idk why I was very drawn to this pool bar. Not technically being affiliated with Disney makes the whole experience more tropical/resort-like, with a bigger emphasis on luxury and relaxation than family/fun (which are wonderful tysm Disney ily). The beer and cocktail selection was good, they offered seltzer and cocktail buckets for $50, which on Disney property is quite the deal. I got a poke bowl for lunch and my mom got gyro wraps and we both really enjoyed our meals. I was warned my bowl would be spicy but it was pretty mild, and coming from me that means it definitely was not that spicy! There was a perfect view of the pool for people watching, Ping pong tables close by, and a walking path around the whole complex that combines the swan and dolphin hotels. My parents went specifically for the "2023 food and wine classic" which is a 4 hour ticketed event featuring unlimited food and drink from around the world and live music. The package they purchased included a two night stay at the resort, so I could see that being a worthwhile splurge for an anniversary or something (it was my parents 40th)

This poolside food is amazing!! I got the ciabatta with grilled chicken, chipotle aioli, and bacon. Everything was well seasoned and perfectly cooked, with super moist chicken and crispy bacon. It came with waffle fries that are super addictive!

We stopped by last night after being at the pool all day and weren't expecting much but ended up blown away by the taste, service, atmosphere, and price! Anthony had the pizza (which was huge) and it was phenomenal! The manager stopped by the table and let us know that it's even better cold and gave us a Togo box. Neither of us are really "cold pizza" people but we tried it for lunch today and he was right! Lol I had the poke bowl with the dynamite sauce (as recommended by our server) and it was also great! Both dishes were very filling.

Having just ate and running into some of my colleagues I ended up coming here with them. As one reviewer said, this is the pool side bar at the Dolphin. It sits next to the rectangular pool and has some nice views.Since this is an outside restaurant all seating is outdoors, albeit covered. That means you are shaded from the hot sun and still get to enjoy the breeze. From what I could tell this area also provided drinks to the people around the pools. Service is fast, as the menu is small.Like I said, I had already eaten so when I came here I wasn't in need of a full meal, but since I was with my colleagues I needed something in front of me so I wouldn't stare at their food while they ate. I also needed a libation, that is for sure.After looking over the menu I just went with an order of the waffle fries and a good old margarita. What I like about the way this place functioned was that their plates were designed to connect to one another. So if you got a dish that was multiple items the larger plate would be the main focus and the side dishes would be the smaller dishes that would connect. It is more plates on the table, but the way the connected it didn't take up any more room than a regular plate in front of you.My waffle fries were nothing more than what you would get anywhere else. Dipping them in ketchup was ideal. My margarita hit the spot, however, I would have wanted it to be of a bigger size instead of what looked like a sippy cup that you would give to a kid.

This is the pool bar at the Dolphin. Pretty decent food options and really good drinks! I had the Mountains in Florida. It has Alpine Lafayette Whiskey, Preserve Blood Orange Liqueur, Fresh Lemon, Blueberries, Orange, Passion fruit. Very tasty. For food we got the grilled watermelon salad. Pretty tasty and light. Service was great and prices on par with Disney, translation: pricey!I am sure when it is not covid this place is a little more crazy but tonight it was nice a quite.

I was very impressed with the service here. I think her name was Maranda. She was helpful, super friendly, and attentive. We started with a Kraken bucket which she split into two drinks for us. It was refreshing. We ordered the calamari which was delish. Lightly battered, crispy, tender calamari with a hint of hot sauce. We also split a cabana burger with waffle fries which was nothing great but it hit the spot after a day at the park. The weather was perfect to eat outside. I would definitely come back here for a quick bite or drink.

We ate here several afternoons. This is a great pool complex and the food is very good. They have waitress service or you can eat at the bar. Highly recommend giving yourself some time I. Your Disney vacation to relax here and enjoy a nice lunch.

I enjoy coming to this location because of the personal touch of the staff ,the servers and bar staff are excellent and at this point they know me so well that it's like coming home! It is like an escape and again the personal touches of the staff make it such an excellent experience while relaxing at the pool or enjoying a meal at the cabana bar. After visiting many of the different bars at the other resorts I know I'm going to get my moneys worth and wont be served a bunch of soda and ice or worse yet, a canned cocktail!!! Yuck!!Keep up the work good work guys!

Being from the service industry I can't say when I've seen a more miserable bunch of bartenders. Wasn't really that busy and the sour faces on this crew was ridiculous. Can't tell you how the food was as no one would take our food order
