Overall it was a good stay. I would recommend this place especially for the price. I like that they had shuttle service to and from parks. The only negative was that the only way to cut through to my room from lobby was through the pool area. If the pool area was closed due to storms could not go through and needed to walk all the way around. Hotel should add path or leave pool area open with a few closed signs on gates to let people know pool was closed for swimming, but would still allow people to pass through.

Property was great only reason it wasn’t a 5 star review is they have early closings of waterpark and bars. The place could really be better about providing times for all amenities without having to go to them. That being said the staff is friendly room was very nice and family friendly things to do. We will definitely be back!

It’s been a while since I visited a resort. The only suggestion to give would be regarding the parking accommodations. Perhaps build a multi story garage mid-way or on each end to accomodate the guest no matter what time they arrive. Also have shuttles more frequent when your parking lot reaches a certain capacity.

The room that I paid for was not the room that I received even after complaining to the Property and to Expedia about it but nothing was done. I booked for the Studio Villa and the room i received was not the same set up as the pictures on the website. I kept getting the run around when trying to resolve it. It left a bad taste in my mouth.

They had shuttle services to get from the room to amenities areas. I’ve sat there for 1.5 hours 3 times waiting on the shuttles was pasted up several times. Called the front desk several times telling them about the problems and situation i was having. so imagine sitting out in the scorching sun beaming on you for over an hour waiting for a shuttle they said comes every 15 minutes.

The staff were very friendly and were always cleaning! Nice variety of pools. Restaurant on site had good food and the pizza parlor was delicious as well. Ice cream parlor was yummy. Kids spent a lot of time in the game room as well. Water park was fun and clean. You must pay to use it though so we only went 1 day. We could not find the volleyball court. There seemed to be a lot of security around the premises which was nice. I went to see the gym but did not use it. It was large, open, bright and clean.

This property has several good things about it that might appeal to families: -Seven clean pools, one featuring a mini water park -Daily and nightly activities -A nice spa with reasonable prices (for a resort) -Transportation around the property and to and from Universal -Friendly staff who try to get you what you need when asked -Gated entrance; secure feeling overall -A decent market -Kitchenettes within the rooms -Clean rooms and bathrooms The not-so-good: Very noisy! I was assigned a B room on the third level in section 2100. The A room next door must have had ten people in & out at all hours, shouting and never mindful of others. The pools had kids screaming all day and most of the night, and the walls were so thin that every scream could be heard. Lots of dogs. -Rooms were clean but basic and somewhat outdated, like what one might find at a Quality Inn or Red Roof Inn, for example. Not exactly a “resort” feel. -THIS IS A TIMESHARE RESORT! Attempts will be made to get you to attend their presentations, such as gift cards, free meals, and Universal Studios park tickets offers. But when I declined, they DID respect my answer and didn’t hound me. There needs to be another option for breakfast, at least…perhaps a diner. The breakfast onsite is a walk up and order reheated food from a very limited menu. They DO have Starbucks coffee, but they don’t take payment through the Starbucks app. -There is no daily housekeeping; they WILL replenish towels & collect trash however
