Universal Endless Summer Resort - Surfside and Dockside Inn & Suites

[Andysol]

Always best to vacation at Universal during their 'value hotel rate' , lower attendance projections, times, if you can swing it.

Especially if you're staying in this hotel or another w/o Express.

Yeah, I was searching that first weekend in April which looks like it might be Spring Break time? Easter lands on 4/12 next year.

For those walking to the parks (warning: it's a hike) or exploring the area, you can also just walk through the parking garage and exit right onto I-Drive.

Is my family just weird that we don't think it's that far of a walk? We've walked from the Best Western just down the road (farther away, technically), passing over I4 is kind of nasty from a smell perspective, but it's otherwise a decent walk. Once you consider how much you're walking over the course of a day, it's not that much more walking - maybe a mile one way?

I guess if you have kids it's a bit more of an issue. A handful of able-bodied adults with vacation energy wouldn't have much problem though.

Thats good to know, my boyfriend and I just did the bus system in September which we thought worked well but we enjoy the walks, plus my bf is wanting to lose weight anyways, and walking together is one of the easiest/best ways to do that. Weather depending this is our plan come April. We're the type to spend full days in the parks so we get plenty of sitting time between rides, shows, just sit breaks, and dining.

I don’t trust the traffic in that area between the intersections, bridge, and confused tourists.

That’s more expensive than CBBR was when it opened and around what Aventura costs.

I'd never book any hotel onsite at Disney or Universal during the Holidays. They get too damn expensive.

Morning Guys,

This will be the 5th time coming back to USF & IOF in September and the first time stopping in the new Dockside Suites.

Just a quick question, each time iv'e stayed in Royal Pacific, Hard Rock there is no cover charge to enter any of the bars, is this still the case when I stop in Endless Summer?

Many thanks,

Mark

I have never encountered a cover at any of the hotels, I only know of the club charge in citywalk but no cover anywhere else that I am aware of.

Sorry, I meant the cover in City Walk, so places like Rising Star, Pat O'Briens etc. I've never had to pay before, just wondered is this was any different by staying at Endless Summer.

Sorry, I have an AP so I am covered by that and don't know the answer to your question then.

No problem, appreciate the reply anyway.

It does look like the benefits section on the website matches all of the other hotels, so I would think that you're good.
