Awesome stay - this property is so cool and unlike anywhere we have ever stayed before - love the theming. Very reasonable cost and the ability to pool hop to any of universals resorts - so you can use the amenities at all of their five star properties! Easy walk to other universal hotels and all three theme parks or you can get on the bus or boat. Good in room kitchenette with microwave and decent sized fridge and basic cutlery/bowls/plates. It was a shame we hit a cold snap in the weather and when it gets below a certain temperature they don’t open the pools or the hot tubs even though we would have liked to at least use the hot tub - this seems consistent with how other Orlando hotels work though.

It was good. My grandson liked the restaurant so we ate there quite a bit. He really liked the pools and lazy river. Most of the employees were very friendly and courteous and helpful. A few of them seemed very disinterested but for the most part they were very nice. The room we had is getting a little beat, worn looking and could use a bit of a facelift but it was clean and the beds and pillows were great. Most everything is very expensive though, especially Universal itself which I find to be a little ridiculous and I think when you stay in their hotels, they could give you a little better deal on the park visits. For a lot of people, those prices are too much to manage. I understand it costs a lot of money to keep those places operating but $650 plus is pretty high for one adult and one child for one day at Islands of Adventure. My grandson enjoyed it and I am able to take him but its cost prohibitive for some people. I think they would still make good money at half the price or so.
