Universal's Aventura Hotel Resort Overview & Review | Universal Orlando Resort

This is my hopefully comprehensive overview and review of Universal's Aventura Hotel at the Universal Orlando Resort.

Within this review, we'll be covering location, transportation, resort amenities, pool area, dining (Urban Pantry, Bar 17 Bistro), the pros and cons. I'll also be comparing to Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort, the Endless Summer Resort, Saphire Falls and other Universal hotels.

We love Aventura. I really like that it's tall instead of sprawling because you are never far from the elevator, food or bus. The food options are great. The rooms are classy and technology is fun. The views are stunning. One thing I liked most was walking next door to Sapphire Falls to catch the boat to CityWalk and parks but Aventura is much cheaper than Sapphire Falls. Your editing style is always incredible. I love your videos.

You sold me at " geared more toward childless adults "
😂

Love Universal, my daughter worked at the hotel while living in Orlando. She preferred working Universal vs WDW, the perks at Universal for the employees were so much better then WDW.

We stayed here in September 2022. It was our first time staying on property at Universal and might I say, best hotel ever! We opted for a skyline view and got a cracking view from Floor 10 (out of 17) overlooking both theme parks.
Food was alright, the pool was fantastic, shuttles were frequent to the parks, and the walk to Volcano Bay took less than 5 mins.
We loved the layout of the hotel, the futuristic vibe with everything in your room being controlled by the IPad, and the comfy beds. Not a huge fan of the bathroom scenario (sliding door that didn't lock properly, and power outlets in awkward places), but overall, we loved the hotel.
We'd def recommend anyone to stay here at this resort, given it's moderately valued (Lowe's is a deluxe resort and Aventura is literally opposite!) - & you can use Sapphire Falls Water Taxi ;)
Edit: If you time it right, go to Bar 17 around 8:45pm and look towards the right side of Volcano Bay (orange lights in the distance), you'll be able to catch Magic Kingdom fireworks at 9pm Enchantment, and Epcot's Harmonious (correct at the time of writing). Great to watch from a distance.

Stayed here in feb. I see no need to look elsewhere if you are planning a Universal vacation. No complaints. Even the food you can purchase in the lobby is great. In fact the best meal I had all vacation was the burger at the hotel. Staff was nice. I walked the beautiful path to the parks almost daily. But there’s a bus and ferry. I don’t know what more you can ask for, unless you like more fancy looking accommodations.

This place does REALLY remind me of a LOT of the nicer off-Strip hotels in Vegas, particularly the Palms and the Rio…Very nice and classy looking; if we still stayed in hotels (the last three trips we’ve made to Florida, we’ve rented a vacation home) this would be a very strong choice! Thorough and fun video as usual, Good Sir!

We are staying at Aventura next September and having watched quite a few videos about it I have to say yours has been the most informative! Thank you ☺️

[dragonboy]

Stayed twice at this hotel. Highly recommend it👍. One of the best perks is the ability to walk over and take the boat taxis to city walk.

Your voice is very pleasing, thank you for the information. I'm going to watch some more vids while preparing for my trip next year.

You put out very informative videos. Lots of great information condensed down to a nice length video. One thing we wish though, is that you'd show all the menus in the food court (not long, a couple of second, we can pause the video to study it) and maybe some flashes of the actual food when you get the chance to film it. But regardless, like I said, your videos are great! Also, while I don't hate children, as a childless adult I like the idea of having a quieter resort that doesn't attract as many families with kids.

Happy Sunday! I plan to venture to Bar 17 next month! Thank you for this video! Yours are the best!

My husband and I are planning a trip and I was looking for a quieter hotel and this looks perfect. Thank you

[carolyn]

Excellent Video, I'm a Travel Agent and after looking at your video, I'm considering booking my clients here. You explained everything very well. It was so detailed. Appreciate it.

[djmarshall]

Stayed here a few weeks back, loved it here.

[jeninaslicer]

Happy Sunday! I plan to venture to Bar 17 next month! I’m staying at Cabana Bay. Thank you for this video! Yours are the best!

[leecrawley]

Great video again ✈️🇺🇸. Keep up the informative indepth reviews, always a joy 👍

We stated here for 4 nights in August and thought it was a great hotel. Considering we spent most of our time at the parks, it was nice to come back to a quiet hotel for some peace and quiet. Staff were great and Bar17 is a huge selling point, so cool. Location wise we found it so convenient, using both the short bus hops and the pleasant garden walk. I'd have no hesitation going back here 😀

[KeyWestDrinker]

Great Hotel, stayed here in July, roof top bar is fantastic 🍻

[meeky]

Staying here tomorrow through Sunday! I’m single with no kids! This will be perfect! Can’t wait ❤
