Universal's Aventura Hotel

Samantha Maccaughey

The view is the only thing that I adore about this hotel. It also shuttles to city walk/universal. Rooftop bar: I was excited, but once we went up it was an overcrowded nightclub atmosphere that killed the whole experience. Such a spectacular view over Orlando city and theme parks with Disney fireworks that was difficult to enjoy with people acting as if it were a Vegas casino. Room: small, ac didn’t work and it smelled musty(they did fix it, but smell lingered) linens are cheap quality and towels were like sand paper. The view from the room was wonderful from the 8th floor. Drinks were well made, bartenders wonderful. Front desk left a lot to desire. Pool was small but appeared clean. Starbucks inside and a small gift shop. Hotel was clean, mostly, but not being up kept. A good place if you’re not spending time around the hotel. Perfect view and great short transportation to the universal area.

This is one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in! The service is amazing, we came for my boyfriend’s birthday trip and they went above and beyond to make it special. I had a small issue with checking in (my fault) and the front desk lady with orange hair helped me so sweetly to fix it. Sophia at the pizza counter is so sweet!. The rooms are stunning, super sleek and clean. The rooftop bar is stunning, Starbucks coffee is really good too. Such an enjoyable experience, will be staying here every time we come to universal / Disney.

The Aventura is always a great option when traveling to spend time at Universal. The Bistro 17 is a really nice place to unwind, and the amenities and. Service are top notch. I di, however, I think that the rooms could use some modifications. On our last trip, we booked a Skyline view room for 3 adults and 1 youth. My main complaint about the room is lack of privacy in the vestibule area. The panels separating the sleeping area from the veritable offer no privacy, as they are split panels and some glass. This forces you to have to take the bathroom if you need to change and need privacy so others are not able to use it The rooms are pretty small already, so thus really makes getting ready an inconvenience. The other thing I would change is to replace the tablet situated on the main counter and move it to the desk between the beds. This makes it more convenient to access and charge when you are in bed, which is where you normally would be using the control. If I'm already up, I might as well turn on or off the lights manually and not use the remote. Finally, if you expect to stay in a larger room just because you booked a Skyline view, make sure prior to booking, since we made that assumption as last time, the room included a king size bed, so I believe they are the corner rooms on the floor. These rooms are larger mad nicer. The 2 queen bed rooms, ironically, are the smallest. So check that before booking Skyline queen bed rooms; the view is great, but rooms are tiny. Other than that, the Aventura resort is a great place to stay while visiting Universal parks.

Truly Exceptional Stay! Universal’s Aventura Hotel went above and beyond to accommodate my chronic illness and allergies with compassion and care. The staff made sure I had a safe, hypoallergenic queen room that was absolutely beautiful and spotless. The entire experience was seamless and heartfelt. The modern rooms are stunning, the downstairs lobby is sleek and welcoming, and the rooftop bar offers breathtaking views and a relaxing atmosphere—a perfect end to each day. I felt safe, supported, and genuinely valued as a guest. Aventura has earned my highest praise and lifelong loyalty!

I came with my teenager, and the place was perfect, great view. There were families but not jam-packed with screaming kids. More low-key family vibe. You can also use the pool at the Sapphire, larger, and has a slide. We didn't partake but walked through the hotel quite a bit to take the ferry to City Walk, which is very nice. The staff is helpful and you can text them from the room tablet.
