Haven't posted in a while but I am going to be staying here for 4 nights in five weeks. It looks good from everything I've seen. Basically a standard hotel that is located on site. It's a great location if you are going to go to Volcano Bay. If you don't like the pool at Aventura there is a very nice one next door at Sapphire that you can walk to easily. You can walk, boat, or bus to the parks and right across the street is Cabana Bay. It's not themed but has amazing views. Obviously out of all the Resorts at Universal it would rank lowest but that's not saying it's not good. When you start to compare it to resorts down the road it's not fair to go head to head with any of their value or moderate's. It's a hotel and those are all motels at ridiculous prices. I'm sorry but entering a room from outside with an air handler below the window is not comparable to a room accessed by an air conditioned hallway connected to the lobby by elevators. It's a cleaner more secure stay and that makes a huge difference in the experience. The only comparison would be their deluxe resorts but that's not fair either since the cost is about 3-4 times as much, and you can't even select your bed type. Not saying that their deluxe resorts are bad but if I'm shelling out around $400-$500 a night I better be able to pick if I get two queens in the room or a king. I hate just hoping I get the room I want when I stay onsite at Disney.
