A great stay but with a couple of niggles
JnB1309 (Barnstaple, United Kingdom) on Oct 05, 2024
This was our 2nd time staying here and, like last time, we really enjoyed it overall. The rooms are a good size and excellent value. Noise wasn't an issue, although I appreciate other floors and rooms could he noisier (do bear in mind this is a value hotel with over 2,000 rooms - it's going to be busy and noisy). The shuttles to the park are brilliant; we never waited more than 5 minutes, and nearly always walked straight onto one. The hotel really is well located for the park, and is also close to the I-4. Pier 8 Market has a good range of food throughout the day, and is reasonably priced. My coeliac wife enjoyed the gluten free waffles and pizzas that were cooked to order by the chef. The hotel is also well equipped in terms of other amenities such as the laundry rooms, gym with showers, Starbucks and games room. We got good value from our refillable mug, using the Freestyle machines and drip coffee loads during our 2 weeks. There are two negatives which stop me giving 5/5. The housekeeping was inconsistent this year (certainly more so than last year). One day, for example, they just totally forgot to make our bed. Some would replenish towels and toiletries, others wouldn't. The other is the cost of parking at the hotel. With tax it cost us $263 for 13 days.... This is extortionate and clearly the hotel cashing in on a captive market. Overall though we do enjoy our stays, and will almost certainly return early next year (we're planning a shorter trip without a car, meaning no parking charges!).
Standards slipping.

3rd stay but unfortunately I think probably our last. Let me start by saying, I only ever leave my holidays with incredible memories. I always make the most of them. They cost a lot of money and I literally wait all year for them. The issues I faced, may well have been dealt with, had I spoke to someone there. I didn’t. It’s not what I go away to do. To stand in line to complain about something that I know won’t have any resolution anyway!! (This is Universal’s downfall versus Disney, in my opinion. Disney fix things and they do it well!!). So my third stay. Upgraded by the lovely Isiah as it was our wedding anniversary. Thank you for that. Beautiful pool view. I think it’s worth spending more to have a 2 bed-I missed the space this year. Everything beautiful. Staff personable. Rooms clean (my front door was filthy and it remained that way), very well stocked at all times. The refillable cup a must ($30 for your stay). BUT. I’ve now stayed at universals 12 times. Aventura x 3 dockside x 3 and cabana bay x 6. In all those times, I have never known the pool side areas to be so dirty!!!?? I was there for 10 days. From day 1 there was a pair of dirty, grey kids socks on the sandy bit in front of the pool of tower 1. They remained there the entire time!! I cut my foot on a plastic cup that was buried in the same bit. There was cigarette ends. Plasters (band aids). Lolly sticks. It was absolutely filthy. Never once cleaned. Now i remember it so fondly being cleaned and raked overnight and coming down In the morning to fresh sand. It was absolutely horrid. Dirty black leaves covering everything. It really didn’t feel like I was in a universal resort at all. I couldn’t enjoy my only day at volcano bay because of my foot, again really tempering my holiday. Be careful dockside. You’re letting standards slip and it’s not ok.
