We always stay at Royal Pacific, we love it. It is almost always the lowest cost of the 3 premier resorts to get that express pass benefit and close proximity to the parks. The resort itself is beautiful, nice pool, and incredible sushi restaurant.

The hard rock hotel is our hotel. We stay there every time love that place. The perks Express passes water taxi. We always have a great experience athat hard rock. Being a man who suffers from really bad sciatica. Staying in the closest hotel with the water taxi is just pure gold for me.

[AnaSerna]

The water taxi are a literal life saver. After my recent trip 5 day I kept telling people I did NOT want to come home, but my feet needed too.😂😂

We were blown away by how great surfside was when we stayed. Price was unbelievable and the staff was seriously great! Felt like staying at a Disney moderate but a small step up. Could not believe how great it was for the price. Now I hope Universal doesn’t read this only because I don’t want them to know I would pay more to stay there than they are currently charging lol

[amandaburgess]

I LOVE Surfside! As a solo traveler, I don't need to stay at a premier resort for EPs since I use single rider line most of the time. The food at Beach Break is great and reasonably priced, friendly employees, very clean and is much more quiet than Dockside. I got my room for $72 a night back in December with my uoap discount and can't beat that!

Hard Rock Hotel is my jam. As a solo traveler, I stay at the club level and get my money's worth just on the food they serve daily. And you can't beat that short walk to the parks.

Stayed at Aventura for my first OI event last year, and absolutely loved it. The way the hotel is laid out means you never have a long walk to your room, unlike some of the other resorts. The proximity to the water taxi and walking path through Sapphire Falls is also a great perk. Hoping to do Sapphire Falls for one of my trips this year. I have no idea what that scent is in the lobby, but I would stay for that alone😂

Cabana Bay is by far my favorite but I’m an adult child and can’t get out of the pool area. We love they give you a new, deflated tube when you leave (if you purchased one there)😂. For Express pass, we have stayed at Royal Pacific and loved it. The worker at Tuk Tuk market gave me a free donut for my kiddo ❤❤

[alisonleigh]

This video is an excellent guide for people new to Universal! Great clear information 😊 Awesome job! Love you guys!

[jonathanbartel]

We stayed at the Aventura which is next to Sapphire Falls and we just walked over to the ferry and took it every morning. No one said we couldn't and no one stopped us.

[phillipcole]

Aventura also is a short walk to the water taxi from Sapphire Falls

[davidr]

Wow, well done. This is a must view for anyone debating hotel accommodations.

[mzfyt]

So thankful for this video today! It’s been a stressful couple of weeks. We used to stay at RP, but once we tried Hard Rock we fell in love with that short walk to the park. It’s so nice at the end of the night if you are tired and the water taxi is slammed to know that you are just a short walk to the room.

[fadeddave]

Need to comment on this one! What a fantastic and informative video! Honestly, top notch and full of tips I wasn’t aware of! The dedicated path, the 7am check in for express, the pool hopping plus loads more! Keep up the great work!

[shannonhowell]

I’ve been missing your videos! Happy to see you back

[justanawesomeginger]

This video was PERFECT timing!! Just started planning a Friendiversary trip with my best friend for December 2024 🎉 OI Meetup here we come!

[Finalgirl-daydreams]

Already booked my hotel for hhn..aventura is my go to. Cant beat the price and location.

[Prodigy_ADED]

My fiancé and I just booked us a 5 day trip at the hard rock hotel in August. We went for the first time last year and we loved it. We had stayed outside the parks and bought unlimited express passes on the last two days. It was amazing. But it cost way more than what a premier hotel costs us for this coming trip alone.

We found your channel about a week or so ago and you two have been invaluable towards our planning and you’ve become a mainstay in our daily lives because we love Universal. Thank you both for all your help and we hope we get to see you both at the parks!

[michaelorford]

Honestly THE BEST Universal hotel review I have watched. Amazing job guys. Thank you so much for making such value added content. 👍

CBBR is my home away from home. I have stayed there probably 20 times or more and in the exact same room most of the time.
