LOVE this property!! You get a true resort feel for a value price. Staff and property is amazing in my opinion. Only complaint was that the AC unit blew musty smelling air. Made it feel unclean. Other than that, love this property and will chose it when going to Universal!!

We liked the amenities and the pools, bowling and eating options for the kids. It was also an easy walk to universal or you could take the bus or water taxi. Minor improvement could be for cleaning staff to ensure that the grounds (ie Laundry room) are cleaned frequently. All in all a very pleasant stay and friendly attentive staff.

Getting into Universal early is a great perk for staying here. The standard rooms are just that, standard, but overall nice. The staff was very friendly, they have great food choices, and the amenities were wonderful. Will be back for sure.
