Loews Sapphire Falls Resort Overview & Review | Universal Studios Orlando

This is my hopefully comprehensive overview and review of Loew's Sapphire Falls Resort at Universal Orlando Resort.

Within this review, we'll be covering location, transportation, resort amenities, pool area, dining (New Dutch Trading Co, Amatista Cookhouse), the pros and cons. I'll also be comparing to Universal Orlando's other competing resorts, such as Aventura Hotel, Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort, the Endless Summer Resorts and Loews Royal Pacific Resort.

I was at universal for the first time time this weekend. I stayed offsite, and on my last night I took the water taxi to Sapphire Falls just to check it out. I was there for maybe 30 minutes, but that was enough to convince me to stay there next time I go. What a beautiful and relaxing resort

The smell when you walk into the foyer of the hotel is INCREDIBLE!!! It smells so good! Like high end hotels that you think would! They actually sell it!

I stayed 5 nights at Sapphire Falls in early October 2023. It is a fantastic hotel and I had an amazing time. Highly recommended of you want a blend of theme park fun and a Carribean getaway.

We absolutely love Sapphire Falls Resort. The water taxi to CityWalk is one of my favorite perks but the aesthetics and offerings are very upscale at a reasonable price. The walking path to the parks is also very nice and beautiful. Incredible review. I always love your videos. They are very thorough in a reasonable length of time.

This is the best review of a hotel ive ever seen! Just incredible. Perfect amount of info.

This is the kind of hotel that if it was owned by Disney it would be 700 dollars I night. Some of Disneys deluxe resorts (that aren’t even as good as this one) cost way more and have worse transportation. I stayed here in July, (I’ve also stayed at Disneys beach club, boardwalk, and contemporary. But to be honest, this is the best and is half the price. Even more than half the price.

This was an excellent review. Concise but thorough. There are lots of videos walking you through the resorts in real time, but this is PERFECT for a quick summary of pros and cons. Thanks!

Great overview. We fly over 5 weeks today for our Sapphire Falls Wedding and Honeymoon. We have treated ourselves to a Sapphire Suite for 3 weeks. Can't wait! It's such a gorgeous hotel.

This overview of the hotel is excellent. Last February, we stayed there. We admired it. It's difficult to find fault with it. The pool is fantastic, and the service is excellent. We will be back. Bty go next door for your morning coffee, it's got a massive Starbucks. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

How have you managed to make such a useful, information-filled video? It was such a pleasure to watch. Much easier to watch and I I got all the information I needed, rather than watching someone show me every kitchen cupboard, talking ridiculously fast, and walking the entire resort while holding their camera and talking throughout.

excellent quality video as always! - I've always stayed off-site when visiting Universal so really great to see such a detailed review of their resorts for comparison when planning my next visit. When you've reviewed all of the on-site resorts it would be interesting to see your I-drive highlights and alternative accommodation in the surrounding areas to see how they compare!

After staying at Cabana Bay this week (which I absolutely loved by the way), I’ll be reserving a suite here next. The water taxi is a game changer for me. Such a great way to rest your feet for a few!

[johnperry]

I absolutely love your videos. I often watch them when I’m longing to go back to universal. Very informative even for a universal fan

[CowboyLuigi]

This will be useful for me now since I am going there 😀 for the HHN and Universal Studios parks vacation bundle.

As a Lowes Hotels fan I very much appreciate this video. My bucket list is to visit every Lowes in America. With this video I am putting Orlando a little higher on the list. Thank you so much!!

We did a split stay here last August with Portofino. Loved SF. Billed as a moderate resort, it blows away any wdw moderate in cost and amenities. As does every Universal resort in each category. SF is more like a WDW deluxe in public areas and transportation. Rooms imo is more a cross between a wdw moderate and deluxe.
I also prefer inside halls vs outside wdw motel style entryway.
Really enjoyed SF. For more food options we walked across the street to CB! I’d stay here more often if they had express pass. Maybe a limited express pass!

I love that hotel. I never stay there but I love how it looks and the smell of, flowers

Stayed here in 2016 just after it opened and it was fantastic and absolutely loved it, I did however get it at a good rate because it had just opened, doubt I would be able to afford it now though with 2 teenagers.

We stayed is September; first time and loved it; aside from no express 😢. The pool only had one tiny section that was about 5 feet but still was a great pool.

This is my absolute favorite Universal Resort hotel. The Strong Water Tavern is my favorite restaurant in all of Universal!
