The staff support was a disappointment. My son $120 slides were stolen at the pool while he was in the pool and I was cleaning up our lunch in an area that was right near the pool. I went to security since there’s cameras there and they told me it will take a few days to investigate so luckily I had traveled with an extra pair of shoes. My biggest issue is the run around. I emailed with them for months about the reimbursement and they said they will send the check to Expedia after the 5th email which was odd but when I followed up about the check they decided to not respond. It’s been 7 months and still nothing I will never stay here again.

The room was clean , house keeping came everyday to tidy up and bring fresh towels. The amenities were endless. The best part is universal Studios in island of adventure was in walking distance. They had free shuttles that would bring you back-and-forth to all parks. If you didn’t want to walk the staff was extremely friendly. If you need a break between Park days, there’s plenty to do on the property bowling arcade, lazy river waterslide, movie night, character meet and greet.

This is a fantastic resort within easy walking distance of Universal Studios. The room was very large and included a very nicely laid out kitchenette. The pools at the facility are top flight and would be great for a family. There was plenty of easy parking in the check-in and checkout process was very simple.
