Universal Aventura Hotel

This hotel is pretty new so the environment feels nice. The front desk staff were very friendly. Food is ok but lack choices. The Starbucks seemed the best place for getting a quick bite. The best place for food is in the Sapphire Falls Resort restaurant. I went there for the breakfast buffet almost daily. A short walk but the food is great. I walked through that hotel to the City Center and two main parks. Aventura is less expensive than Sapphire Falls. The cafe in Sapphire Falls also has more variety and better quality food.

Universal Aventura Hotel is a nice place to stay during your Universal Studios trip. The room was spacious with enough storage spaces. There's a safe and mini fridge, and shampoo and conditioner in the shower. There's a really nice gym on floor 2 (multiple treadmills, ellipticals, dumbbells, weight machines), 3 bars (one in the lobby, one by the pool, and a rooftop bar), and food area best described as a cafeteria (pizza, sandwiches, salads, breakfast options, etc. Plus microwaves and toaster for your own food), a large pool with a hot tub, an outdoor gaming area, Universal merchant shop, and a shuttle to and from the hotel. Staying at the hotel also give your Early Park Access, the parks open 1 hour early for Universal hotel guests. So prepare accordingly and catch that first shuttle. We

Positive: Spacious and clean Negative: I paid for a room with a view but was put on the fourth floor overlooking a flat roof and the adjoing parking garage

I was here for a conference and this was an excellent hotel. The food was good enough, but there is so much more so close. The bars and staff were fantastic and I really liked Bar 17 for the view and great Korean Fusion. I also loved the choice of a shuttle to City Walk, or even better, taking the Garden Walk which comes right into City Walk next to Margaritaville. Highly recommended.

Aventura was a wonderful stay. Staff was great from check in to housekeeping to the urban pantry, pizza and they have a wonderful gift shop. Room was wonderful, view was amazing, we could watch the fireworks from our room. Control settings for the lights right from the tablet. Shower was also very nice. Option for pizza delivery was good, we didn't use it, but great option. Bus for parks and Epic, right out side, close to sapphire if you desire to go there as well. Great hotel.
