Great „calm“ location close to Universal Studios. Nice complementary boat transfer to Universal. Room was spacious and staff helpful. Early park admission and unlimited express pass is included from day of arrival (after 7 am possible) until/including day of departure.

This is a perfect spot for Bussiness travelers. Close to attractions and confortable to conduct Bussiness while enjoying the garden view from the suite.

Love the location, you can either take water taxi or walk to the Universal Studio even in the hot day because the path was mostly covered by the trees..very nice walk! Love the unlimited fast pass in Universal Studio parks with staying at the hotel..this is definitely the big bonus! The staff are also very friendly and helpful!

Excellent stay. Very convenient for Universal, yet didn’t feel like we were staying in a theme park. Activities to keep the kids busy.

Cecilia

Beautiful and clean. Loved the flowering shrubs and the choice of 3 different pools with different atmospheres. Great idea! Staff was outstanding too! Always friendly and helpful.

Amy

United States of America

The staff are very nice and resourceful. The facility is very good. It is a huge resort and they have 3 pools. Even if someone in your group is not interested in the Universal Studios, they won't feel bored at all, since there are a lot of fun places within the resort already. There are little animals in the resort too: ducks and little lizards.

The staff was very helpful and eager to please! Restaurants, front desk, room service, shuttle to Volcano Bay. We received a room upgrade with our reservation on checking in. We were close to the fun pool and activities. Boat shuttle to parks had no wait >10 min either way. We enjoyed the hotel harbor ambiance and gelato shop in the evening. Room key credit card worked in hotel, City Walk restaurant that we frequented and parks. Crazy easy. We enjoyed the Trattoria de Porto morning buffets. They went out of their way to accommodate our gluten free child. Perfect vacation! Let’s give a shout out for their safe and well guarded active pool! They test their lifeguards daily with a dummy child to see how quickly they spot a submerged child! Never have seen that! They guard their water slide like I’ve never seen. So impressed.

Of course had to compare to previous visits, which I found not nearly up to par. Club level couldn’t find a table or seat at times, maid service was slow and rude, building looked like it needed some repairs. I still loved the theme and location but I think I will choose another location next time

restaurants choices are limited especially for the breakfast, only a buffet style restaurant and Starbucks.
Love the location, you can either take water taxi or walk to the Universal Studio even in the hot day because the path was mostly covered by the trees..very nice walk! Love the unlimited fast pass in Universal Studio parks with staying at the hotel..this is definitely the big bonus! The staff are also very friendly and helpful!
