Universal's Aventura Hotel

I really love the location of this hotel, you can walk, take the bus or even the boat to Universal. The rooms are always comfy and really spacious, lots of parking as well. The Rooftop Bar has lovely views and good menu.

The room had an excellent view and the layout was perfect for our needs! We stayed for 3 nights and there was ample space to hang out at the room without feeling cramped.

Convenient access to the water taxi, modern rooms, amenities, and relative absence of young children are why we choose Aventura for every trip to Orlando, even for trips that include WDW. Helpful staff members and delicious food confirm our choice each visit. 1)The burgers and fries were delicious... so delicious that we shared one then came back for two more. 2)The yogurt parfaits are tastier, faster, more affordable, and diet restriction compliant than a full breakfast, which we appreciate and rely on every trip--an unsweetened yogurt option would be even better. 3)The staff at Aventura and across other Universal properties is consistently more helpful and attentive than at WDW. Universal is earning our loyalty through kindness and convenience. 4)Aventura has fewer young children on site, which is a big win for us. There is almost no noise in the hallway or through the walls of the rooms. 5)The bathrooms in the Aventura rooms are my favorite feature in the room: the vanity shelves, spacious shower, towel rack, and drying line suit all three of us. 6)The amenities pass (pool hopping) feature was a big win for us during this particular stay. We used our "free" day to explore other hotels and pools. We enjoyed the adventure, and we were excited to return to our own room at Aventura.

Everything about Aventura is the perfect blend of convenience and cool! We love Mid-Century Modern and the MIB queue and we all feel like Aventura is a fun "mod" hotel without all the chaos of children in every corner at Cabana Bay! Aventura hands down has the best dining option, as my husband, son, and I can all go in different lines, get totally different meals, and enjoy eating together. It is a very short walk to the boats and even a reasonable walk to the park. The rooms have everything you need and the view was incredible from our room, we got to watch the castle fireworks and CineSational show each night! All of the hotel staff we encountered were friendly!

The Front Desk staff were exceptionally helpful, friendly and welcoming. Any question or concern that we had was answered easily and confidently. We traveled there to enjoy the theme parks and they gave us so much insight on what to expect and how to get there easily with the shuttle. The multiple restaurants were really cool, too. The staff at the restaurants were waayyyy beyond my expectations with their kindness and helpfulness. I would highly recommend this hotel to ANYBODY that is traveling to visit the theme parks!
