VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!

Athena P on Jul 14, 2024

We visited Universal for four days and chose this resort because we heard it was good for families. For a hotel that has been in business for so long they are cutting corners. Beginning with our arrival, they have a hotel shuttle that picks you up from the airport only to drop you off on the first floor back entrance with all your luggage and no welcome or direction of where to go. We had to follow some other hotel guests that let us in using their keycard. With three kids and five pieces of luggage, we made our way through the first floor asking directions of how to go to the lobby for check-in which was on a different floor. When I mentioned this to the concierge, he told me that they don’t allow buses to their main entrance. This is a resort hotel in which many families are arriving from the airport and don’t have a car. We weren’t the only family arriving that day via shuttle bus as I’m sure many families do. If this is your policy, you should have a little gate hut with a porter at the entrance you are expecting the shuttles to arrive welcoming you with a trolley to take your luggage. It felt as if we were second rate guests sneaking in through the back door, no welcome nothing. After finally finding our way to the elevators and up to the lobby, we find out that we’re in a room on the second floor all the way at the end of the wings… they only have one main elevator bank, and if your room is on the opposite end, you have to lug all of your suitcases there yourself. No one even offered to bring our luggage up for us. As for the food, there is only one main restaurant called “the kitchen“. The service here is good, but the buffet is minimal and could use more variety as it is a resort and the main place for dining and was the same every day…. Possibly add a carving station, lox, salad station. Lastly, for a 5 person room they only give you shampoo and body wash for like half your body let alone 5 people. Then on the last day we rented a car from Avis (located in the lobby of the hotel) to drive to Miami and the car that we reserved was given to another family. When we complained they told us there is nothing they can do as they are not affiliated with the rental car company. VERY DISAPPOINTING STAY!!!

Eh

Angelina F (Miami, Florida) on Jul 13, 2024

The room came with an express pass for Universal which was very convenient. Pool was nice and had a dj. Restaurants were decent. I was mostly disappointed in the quality of the room. For 800 a night I expected a higher quality room. The couch had tears and just was not taken care of. There were stains on unused towels. It felt unclean. The hotel had its benefits like good restaurants, nice pools, express pass, but it felt disgusting returning to the room.
