Sapphire Falls Resort, Orlando

6601 Adventure Way, Orlando, FL 32819, United States. (show on map)

Expert reviews

Frommers review:

“The Modern Caribbean-inspired Sapphire Falls is clean and understated. It’s also my favorite of Universal’s moderate options because the service is strong, parking is sheltered, the price is never too crazy, and you can take ferries or walks to the parks.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Orlando.

Telegraph review:

“A recent addition to the Universal Orlando hotel family. It is close to the theme parks but still provides a serene Caribbean-style getaway, set around a lagoon and waterfalls, with tempting dining and a unique rum bar.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

What better way to take in the world-famous theme park scene than staying at one of the biggest? Sapphire Falls Resort is on-site accommodation at Universal Studios. This is a luxurious and fun place to stay so you can still have easy access to the huge theme park right there.

Staying here will transport you into the tropics and to an area of relaxation, fun, and peace. Who would not want the jungle experience (kind of) while enjoying Florida? With gorgeous architecture, plenty of palm trees, and water features all about, you feel like you are in an oasis of fun.

One interesting feature of this hotel is the number of rooms. There are literally 1000 rooms on site. For some, this may be far too much and bring too much foot traffic. For others, this means that there are top-class amenities to take advantage of. So, depending on your preferences, this could be a pro or a con.

On that same note, there are a number of great suites available to stay in. This upgrades your stay and puts you in a great position to enjoy your time at Universal. Although it will cost extra, it will be worth it.

Very nice place and will definitely return.

Location was great. Pool was great.

Bathrooms were a little dated. Walk-in showers would be much better than tubs with shower curtains. Could use more electrical outlets and USB outlets for electronics.

A top choice hotel for your universal vacation!

Sapphire Falls is an excellent resort. The rooms were very clean & comfortable. The grounds were very well kept & the pool area & pool bar was the highlight of our stay. Great food options on site & walkable distance to City Walk.

We loved everything about the property, but the service in the Strong Water Tavern could have been better.

Wonderful Stay !!

The water taxi is the most convenient amenity in my view by far! Also having a Florida Resident Discount as well as the park tickets included with our room stay was the best way to go! Room service and the food and staff were all incredible ! Any wish was granted. The Luau next door was an added treat. We will definately be back to stay again!

Beautiful property with amazing amenities

Absolutely beautiful property with wonderful amenities. I was weary on the timing around the boat transportation, but I was happily proven wrong. It was consistently efficient and I never waited more than 10 minutes.

Great location and spacious rooms. Very helpful staff.

I had a wonderful stay and I would definitely come

I was given an early check in at noon because I ended up getting sick from one of the rides and it was very nice of them to do that.

The bathrooms could have been nicer.

I’ve always loved staying at Loews hotel in UniversalStudios. We normally stay at Portofino and Royal Pacificand though

Location, convenience to Universal Studios, Hotel was clean and has lots to offer

For the price we paid, it should have been comparable to the 4 other Loews premium hotels and used our room keys as a fast pass.

Perfect family hotel

The room was very comfortable. I was offered a room with a bath for my infant without me even having to ask. The characters in the lobby were awesome! They were so attentive and can’t thank them enough for how happy they made my 20 month old. The water taxi to the parks was a great perk! Overall a great hotel for families 😊

Unfortunately our bathroom socket wasn’t working and our room was located quite far from the lobby. The food could be improved but the coffees and cocktails were all great!

Room was nice, location was perfect, I really liked the boat shuttle to Universal Studios.

Price was quite steep for the service we got. The food quality is average, with some places being actually below average and grossly overpriced.

Very good hotel, close to the parks

Very friendly and attentive staff. Walking distance to the parks (you can also take a boat). Early access to Adventure Island. Very clean rooms, comfortable but could use renovation. Gym is excellent and you can go for a run around the hotel in the mornings.

Highly recommend this fun hotel - they really thought of everything!

Beautiful property with a huge heated outdoor pool that was open until 10pm. Everything was very clean, with comfy beds. Both restuarants we tried were excellent, with the cafe open late. The water taxi to the park was a nice touch - that helped save our tired feet! We weren't too tired for ping pong outside the gym! Friendly, welcoming staff. Well stocked gift shop.

Flights into Orlando were not matching up with our plans, so i added a day at the hotel. When i called the hotel (a month in advance) to ask about keeping the same room for both reservations - i was told it would be no problem. But we ended up having to change rooms. A minor inconvenience, but on a 3 day mini vacation every minute counts.

Food could have been better at main dining and signage to main restaurant needs to be much clearer! But happy with stay!

Very convenient - would stay here again

Great pool area and service here was excellent - they will bring drinks and food to your sunlounger and are very attentive. Sun cream provided at the pool and chilled water and as many towels as you like. Very convenient for the park - great shuttle service on the boat or a really easy walk. Nice coffee shop onsite. Can get Ubers very easily. Big gym that is very well equipped. The bathroom is split so the shower and toilet are separate. This is good because the sink and mirror are still available to use if your partner is in the shower. Everything is so easy here - the staff are very friendly and happy to help.

There is no minibar - there is a fridge in the room but it was empty. But there is a well stocked shop in the lobby!

Great location but bring your wallet

Location was excellent. The water taxi was a definite plus. The beds were very comfortable and the services were great.

Not thrilled with the sink outside of the toilet and bath. The prices for very basic items (bottled water, coffee, etc) were extravagant.
