- DmcG (10/5): -
- Romana (4/5): This hotel does not provide you a 5 star experience: - at the reception was not welcoming and friendly, they are always - Early access and express past for the parks This hotel does not provide you a 5 star experience:
- at the reception was not welcoming and friendly, they are always looking tired to help.
- no slippers in the room, no bathrobe.
- no one replied me to the questions prior to the stay

- Juliana (10/5): Hotel muito bom e vale a pena pros parques - O quarto era muito bom, espaçoso, com frigobar, mesa e sofá. Vista pra piscina e mesmo assim não tinha barulho. Banheiro com banheira e a pressão da água muito boa pra tomar banho. O que mais valeu na verdade foi o unlimited pass pra universal, sem ele não teríamos conseguido ir em muitos brinquedos dos parques. E o transporte gratuito pro parque de barquinho foi maravilhoso. O preço é bem alto, mas é o que se paga pelo unlimited. Estacionamento pago também.
- stephanie (5/5): Hôtel très bien situé à proximité des parcs - L’emplacement, le service de navette pour le parc, les Pass inclus, lit confortables.
Nous y étions un jour classé jaune (peu d’affluence), en semaine, hors vacances scolaires américaines, sans les Pass nous n’aurions pas pu faire les 2 parcs, ils sont vraiment nécessaires! L’hôtel est assez vieillot, mauvais rapport qualité prix!
- Stephen (10/5): -
- Ingria (10/5): -
- Luciana (7/5): Boa - Camas e limpeza Atendimento dos funcionários,ficamos perdidos no hotel e ninguém nos ajudou e a falta de um funcionário que falasse em português
- Monika (10/5): -
- Holly (8/5): Lovely place to stay as a family with great access to universal - Convenient, special, lovely and helpful staff Room could have been a little cleaner for the price (around windows, the tiles in the bathroom bordering the wall etc).
- Richard (7/5): Stayed one night , but prefer royal pacific for this type of hotel - Nice beds Very big .

- Ewe (10/5): A nossa estada foi maravilhosa. Perfeita para comemoração do aniversário da minha filha. - Localização e astral. Que hotel sensacional. Funcionários atenciosos. Lugar limpo. Tudo perto. Maravilhoso. Express pass Falta de outputs modernos para os aparelhos eletrônicos. E falta tomada.

- Rosane Pires (10/5): Seus Filhos Merecem!! - Tudo Nota 1.000 Maravilhoso Perfeito meu Filho Amou Muito!! Dentro do Universal!! É um Sonho de Consumo!! Realizado!! SHOW!! Do Valor por ser Caro muito Caro!!
- Geoghan (10/5): Loved every minute of it! - Loved the look and feel of the hotel on approach Breakfast was expensive and the portions were far too big
- Merlin (9/5): Ideal für Universal Themenparks - Weitläufig, komfortabel, gut unterhalten. -
- Humberto (8/5): Muy buena opción dentro del complejo Universal. - La ubicación y las amplias instalaciones. La calidad de la comida podría ser mejor para un hotel de este nivel.
- Beverley (9/5): -
- mimosa1234 (9/5): - chambre très confortable une vue sur l'eau aurait été encore plus chouette
ne pas oublier les frais de parking à rajouter quand vous passez la journée dans un des parcs afin que votre voiture reste accessible au retour
- jason (7/5): Beautiful property short walk to universal - Beautiful property with lots to do. Room service food was not the greatest. Recommend skipping that and just going to get food elsewhere. Food from room service was horrible.
- May (10/5): -
- Tal (10/5): - Excellent hotel, includes Express Pass for the parks, and there’s a water taxi to Universal CityWalk. nothing
- Robnaldo José Santos (8/5): - Café da Manhã e Instalações Funcionários bem secos
- Roos (9/5): Fantastisch - Prachtige ambiance, schone comfortabele kamer. Fijne bedden en ruime badkamer. Zeer behulpzaam en vriendelijk personeel. Mooi zwembad met bedjes en badlakens.
Transfer met boot naar universal park is goed geregeld, snel en comfortabel. Niets
- Susan (8/5): I wouldn’t return here due to unhygienic bedding - Location was perfect! Lovely restaurants around to walk to, huge rooms with large bathrooms Everything was great apart from the bedding, you get sheets and a duvet
Sheets clean but duvet was disgustingly stained with urine and sweat!! 🤢 had to have it changed twice! ( very apologetic) but still did cause frustration
- Allison (8/5): -
- Audrey (10/5): Parfait! - Hôtel incroyable. Tout était parfait! Chambre spacieuse et propre avec une superbe vue.
Le water taxi gratuit ainsi que les express pass et l’entrée anticipée aux parcs sont un véritable avantage.
- Claire (9/5): Merveilleux - Magnifique hôtel, belles chambres spacieuses avec vue sur le lac, très bien insonorisé et les lits très confortables. La navette pour le parc Universal est très pratique toute les 10 minutes et le pass express inclus vaut le coup! Pas de petit déjeuner, ni même une bouteille d’eau dans la chambre inclus dans le prix élevé payé pour la nuit
- Kevin (9/5): -
- Adeline (10/5): - Magnifique cadre, calme. Juste à prendre la navette fluviale pour le parc. C était parfait
La chambre était grande. Le lit d appoint du confortable pour mon fils. La salle de bain était immense et nous avions un joli petit balcon avec vu sur le lac
- Lynda (9/5): Very enjoyable and relaxing stay with all the attractions nearby and accessible. Having the express passes available for - Convenience to the parks
Lovely pool area More choices for eating at breakfast time would be preferred.
More umbrellas around the pool would of been beneficial.

- Joao Marcos (10/5): -
- Ciara (9/5): Stunning hotel and very comfortable. - The staff were great, the location was perfect, the beds were really comfortable and the general vibe was very relaxing. The buffet restaurant wasn’t great and is a poor offering for how good the overall hotel is. The queues for the water taxi is the morning got quite long.
- Alex (10/5): - Location
- Hayley (10/5): -
- paulo (10/5): -
- Vanessa (8/5): 2 giorni agli Universal - Hotel bellissimo e scenografico. Consente di raggiungere a piedi il parco oppure con water taxi gratuito. Nel prezzo è compreso express pass per il giorno di arrivo e quello di partenza e l’early entry. Camera bellissima Prezzo elevatissimo. Data la cifra pagata dovrebbero almeno includere la colazione. Parcheggio al costo di 36 dollari a notte. Piatto doccia veramente scivoloso, sono persino caduta
- Mélissa (9/5): - Emplacement à 2 pas du parc, hôtel très beau, personnel agréable.
Gros plus avec cet hôtel ce sont les pass illimités.
- Rebecca (10/5): -
- ralph (8/5): boa experiencia - estrutura do hotel e proximidade dos parques serviço de recepcao de pacotes
- Maria (10/5): -
- Mariana (10/5): - Las instalaciones del hotel, tamaño y comodidad de la habitación, la cama muy cómoda. Facilidad de transporte a los parques, excelente vista y lo mejor el precio de la habitación incluyo el pass express al parque. No deberían cobrar el parqueadero adicional.
- Pietro (8/5): - O quarto é otimo, mas pelo preço da diária, eu esperava mais. O preço está mais pelos benefícios de acesso aos parques e atrações do que ao hotel em si.
- Jolita (10/5): -
- maria fernanda (10/5): vacaciones asi son mas relajadas - ubicacion, y tener fast pass , tamaño de cuartos.
- Donna (9/5): Good value & location. Excellent staff. - Convenience for the parks. Rooms were great size and beds comfortable. Combined with the additional express passes makes this a good value stay.
- Lili (10/5): Wonderful - It is convenient to get to universal studios from the hotel.and you can get express tickets .
- Maria (9/5): Brillot - Next to universal amd rooms clean Just that the window don’t open in the room
- Adrienne (10/5): -
- Lais (9/5): - Ótima opção para quem vai aos parques Universal. Além do barquinho de locomoção, o express pass é o melhor benefício. Parecia estar lotado e os funcionários sem muita paciência.
- Sanjida (10/5): Amazing Stay as always - The rooms, service and the beautiful resort is wonderful 😀 Nothing
- Anat (9/5): תודה על החוויה - המיקום וההסעה לפארק,האקספרס, המסעדה, החדר…הכל המזרן היה רך מידי
- Angela veina de (10/5): -
- Paul (10/5): Great stay expect for a small problem with the beds and pillows - The location was great with only a 5 min boat ride to the parks
The express passes that come with the room is the reason why we picked this hotel and it didn’t disappoint The beds were too soft for me
And so were the pillows
Maybe have a selection of hard and soft pillows so the customer can choose which to use
Also an option of smaller pillows for the children as the ones provided where too big for my 4yr old little girl and she found it too high to put her head on it to sleep

- Victoria (10/5): Almost like being in Italy! - It was very peaceful even though it’s so close to the parks! Nothing!
- Cesar (9/5): - La ubicación del hotel Es muy extenso el hotel, nos tocó una habitación muy lejos de recepción.
El fast pass para Universal no incluye Epic Universe
- kaitlin (9/5): I only stayed for one night but it was the best and most luxurious stay I’ve had in Orlando to date. With the express pa - The room and theming was absolutely beautiful, breathtaking even Where we were placed we were on the opposite side of the nice pool but that’s just personal preference
- Tiago (10/5): -
- Janine (9/5): - Excellent location, walkable to Universal and City Walk.
- Jean Pierre (8/5): bom para visitar o complexo universal - paa quem vai visitar os parques da universal é excelente, vc acorda e pega uma barco que te deixa no city walk em 5 minutos, ou se preferir pode fazer uma caminha de 10 minutos, quartos grandes, com boas camas, maquina de café nos quartos. por se tratar de um hotel de luxo, colocar um pequeno café da manha para os hospedes seria um diferencial quando comparado a outros hoteis da região. a falta do café da manha incluído na diária é um ponto negativo deste hotel
- clare (3/5): Great base, not luxury. - Good location and transport Room dated and dirty.
Wrong luggage delivered to room.
Asked for roll up bed, not delivered until had to call and ask again.
- Makita (10/5): - Tudo. Hotel lindo, realmente surpreendente
- REBECA (9/5): -
- Maria Mercedes (10/5): Sin duda volveríamos - Es todo lindo, la decoración, el ambiente, la parte de afuera. Todos te atienden bien y rápido. Es todo práctico y está muy bien organizado
- Renato (10/5): -
- Aurelie (10/5): - Loved the look of the hotel. The facilities were good. The water taxi was amazing. We didn't wait long to check in at all. The staff was pleasant, some more than others. Only water available was Fiji water. At least that is the only one I found in the Espresso (Starbucks) and the one already in the room. The tap water was not cold enough to drink. Issues with the key cards which kept not working. It was resolved but it was still annoying.
- kkfaria (10/5): Ficaria novamente! - O bom de ficar em hotel Premier da Universal é sem dúvida o Express Pass Ilimitado para os parques Universal Studios e Islands of Adventure. Em janeiro/26 ainda não é aplicável para o Epic Universe, mas dá acesso 1h antes para este parque também, o que nos deu vantagem para ir a atração do Harry Potter e a Batalha no Ministério. O hotel é enorme, com piscinas (não usamos), transporte para os parques, banheiro grande, camas confortáveis. A limpeza do quarto é feita diariamente e é possível mandar entregar as compras dos parques diretamente para o quarto. O valor do estacionamento é muito alto (36 doláres mais taxa), não tem café da manhã (compramos no Walmart e tomamos no quarto mesmo). O aquecimento não funcionou bem na primeira noite, mas eles logo resolveram.
