The scenery is awesome. I loved the view from our room on the harbor.
United States of AmericaEverything was awesome! The hotel designed like an old Italian city which was beautiful! There’s even a like in the center of the complex which adds an extra italian touch. The room was space and clean. The staff were super professional and helpful. There are boat shuttles to and from Universal’s theme parks which were super convenient. You get an express pass for the theme parks as the hotel guest both for the check in and check out days (and everything in between) which was awesome!
IsraelThe entire staff was very friendly. The service was great too. We don't have any complaints.
United States of AmericaPrivate feel. Not too crowded. The valet service was perfect.
United States of AmericaThe atmosphere, the beds are awesome! The grounds are just beautiful!
United States of AmericaExcellent location, transportation to Universal by boat, very convenient. Nice restaurants on site, three pools on property.
United States of AmericaClose to parks, water taxi fast service, great staff, clean rooms. Lots of food choices. Texting service from you to concierge was awesome. My son woke up with a fever at 3 am, I texted the concierge service and just like that the bellman drove me to Walgreens and back. All within 20 min. Thank you Rudy!!! The service is worth the money.
United States of AmericaGreat having a Starbucks on the property. Also the store next to it had a good selection for breakfast.
United States of AmericaLoved the look and atmosphere of the hotel. Staff was wonderful.
United States of AmericaThe proximity to Universal is wonderful. Love the water taxis. They run constantly and there is practically no wait. The express passes to Universal were a HUGE benefit! The beds are very comfortable. The rooms are very clean. Every staff member is polite and friendly. The grounds and pools are absolutely beautiful. You really feel like you have stepped into an Italian village. I would definitely stay here again. I didn't want to leave🙂
