Universal Orlando: Eat, SLEEP, Play
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room … and put it to bed right away. Yes, there is another property in Florida that many default to when discussing an Orlando vacation. This article is not about that property. This article is about the property just down the street that also has endless options for resting one’s tired feet after a day spent enjoying its amazing parks.
Universal Orlando is host to gorgeous resorts, multiple theme parks, and a public area that draws residents and visitors alike for a unique night on the town. This is truly an experience meant to please all ages, making Universal Orlando a one-of-kind multi-generational must-do. And because Universal Studios is certainly aware of its biggest competition, every aspect here is designed to “WOW!” visitors who quickly forget all about life outside this meandering campus.
Where to Sleep?
Universal Orlando has eight hotel options (all built within the last 25 years) spanning a variety of price points making “stay where you play” one of the easiest recommendations ever. All price points offer both standard rooms and suites, complimentary WiFi, an in-room coffee maker, and a mini-fridge. Let’s help nail down the perfect place to rest one’s head.
Do you deserve the best? Of course, you do! A stay at a Universal Orlando Premier property is exactly what you have earned! Gorgeous, spacious rooms come with additional plusses such as complimentary Universal Express Unlimited, concierge services and super close proximity to the parks.
Hard Rock Hotel treats every guest like a famed rock star with all the perks and impeccable surroundings.
Loews Royal Pacific is a Polynesian paradise that boasts a white sandy beach poolside – the perfect spot to repcharge any time of day.
Loews Portofino Bay earns endless accolades for its perfect depiction of Portofino, Italy. This resort encourages guests to spread out and enjoy a luxurious experience. Imagine sharing an evening walk, gelato in hand, through a gorgeous piazza.
The Loews lifestyle is also available at Universal Orlando’s Preferred property, Sapphire Falls.
Stepping into Loews Sapphire Falls means stepping into the heart of the tropics. From the sounds of waterfalls (always just steps away) to the gentle cadence of steel drums, travelers quickly switch to island time upon arrival. Spacious rooms with beautiful views make Sapphire Falls an excellent choice. The parks are just a quick boat ride away.
Just steps away from Volcano Bay sits both Universal Orlando’s' Prime resorts, the Aventura Hotel and Cabana Bay Beach Resort.
Cabana Bay Beach Resort embraces a fully retro theme from the classic cars at the main entrance to a fully operational bowling alley. Come here for that nostalgia so often associated with Florida’s beach resorts of yesteryear.
Aventura Hotel highlights casual comfort with a sleek style and has views of all three theme parks. A dedicated walking path offers easy accessibility to Volcano Bay. The poolside views at Aventura are amazing!
For those travelers seeking Value, options include Dockside Inn & Suites or Surfside Inn & Suites. With spacious eating areas and a variety of room or suite sizes, these hotels are perfect for those looking for a more economical way to travel. Beach-themed rooms and generous suites offer an ideal option for groups that prefer to relax together after a terrific day of exploring.
