Universal's Aventura Hotel

Ignore the over the top American bad comments here. The photos are exactly what it is like!! The rooms are a perfect size (large). Large beds. The staff are over the top friendly which is so nice, but would you expect in anything less in Orlando. The location is perfect. A regular free shuttle from the door of hotel to city walk is perfect. It is also a gorgeous 20min walk along the water to the resort. Rooftop bar is a nice touch to watch sunset and storms. We were on the 14th floor and could see all the rollercoaster rides. loved it and will return.

Really a great option if you want to stay on the Universal Studios property and get early park admission (which was one of the big reasons we looked at hotels on the property). It was much cheaper than the hotels closer to the park entrance, and only a short shuttle bus or water taxi ride to the parks (we liked the water taxi, which goes to the Sapphire hotel next door). The room was very clean, hip and comfortable; the pool was excellent and not too crowded (and the hot tub felt great after a long day at the parks); and the breakfast and food options were just right. The staff were all very nice and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is very modern, complete with little service robots! It was close to the parks and accessible to the other hotels facilities which was a big bonus! The Aventuras on-site restaurant served delicious noodles. The roof top bar was lovely although a little expensive for drinks (good for a treat though). The panoramic views were fab! The shuttle bus outside the hotel is free and frequent - another bonus. The water taxi is offered to Aventura guests from the hotel next door (again free of charge) There were less children staying at the Aventura as nearby hotels seemed to offered more in the way of facilities to them. Overall a great hotel - would recommend and would stay there again.

Check in staff at the front desk, Lisa was very friendly and helpful. Blue Bus from hotel to Universal studio was a big plus for families with younger children. Luggage was well taken care of by Michael who was also so friendly.

Modern clean rooms, pool area, close to Volcano bay. Next door to Sapphire Falls for the water taxi to City Walk. Good selection of food, refillable mugs available. Free bus transportation to City Walk.
