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.

Location, theme, hotel staff, transport to theme parks by boats, and responsiveness.

Humidity smell in the corridors. No bellboy services to take the bags on checkout after midnight. More lights are needed in the extra kids room.

This hotel is a lot better than I thought it would be. I normally stay at Wilton Lodge, but opted for something closer t

I thought that the property was clean and looked very nice. Had a beautiful pool a game room, which are always nice options to have when traveling with the family.

I wish they had a little bit more affordable eating options or buffet was quite pricey $32 per person and anyone who has kids even though My Son is not a huge eater and I pay $32 for two pancakes because that’s all he really eats

Universal’s Loews Sapphire Falls

Love how they decorate for Christmas, the paths around the property for walking my dogs, they Love dogs, the staff is so friendly and helpful (they assisted as I got photos at the Christmas tree), and loved the text helpers!

The new parking technology that never worked. They finally just raised the gates. I’m sure it’s being worked on. Just an inconvenience.

The only place we’ll stay

I love that the property has everything you could need. Shopping, restaurants, a place to eat breakfast, amazing pool with pool side food and drinks, a water taxi direct to the park, and soooooo much more

The only thing I didn’t like was that we had to leave! Haha

A new favourite!

Room was well appointed, clean, and spacious. Very friendly staff, great resort theming, perfect location, rapid lifts, and an outstanding pool area. Overall a fantastic stay and Sapphire may have overtaken Royal Pacific as my favourite. Highly recommended.

Very minor gripe about limited hot and cold grab and go options at New Dutch Trading Co. within the resort.

Nice hotel, but cold pool.

The rooms are clean and updated.

The pool was much colder than it should be. I guess that they are trying to save money but cutting back on the heaters.

The water taxi option to universal city walk, and the parks is a big plus staying here. You go through security at the hotel dock which is also convenient. Rooms are large and clean.

Room service took so long we had to call to cancel it as we were all falling asleep.

Beds so comfy Hotel very beautiful Water taxi to parks Pool is fabulous & opens late under lights setting a really nice ambience Pool bar lovely & food Staff so friendly and helpful Easy access to Universal Parks

Very busy at weekends, probably because of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal so couldn't get into the hotel bar, 2 hour wait for a table they said Breakfast is very expensive and only average Hotel bar is whiskey and rum based and limited deserts, could expand the menu a little for those looking for night cap and snack with some more vodka based cocktails

Literally everything from the friendly staff, to the extremely comfortable beds, to the location being a perfect walking distance from the parks. This is the ideal hotel to fully immerse yourself in the bubble of universal.

The only thing that would make it better is a complimentary basic breakfast which for the price of the hotel I would expect.

Great location for Universal but procey for what you’re getting.

Close to Universal Parks & the ferry service was great for getting to and from the parks and hotel. The pool was great and open well into the evening to cool off after a day at the parks.

The room was very small for the price and calling the room a ‘pool view’ was a stretch on the 4th floor when blocked by the pool buildings and trees.

Wonderful hotel! Would visit it again!

I loved the pool area especially the slide! The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel location was in the middle of everything at Univeral. Great staff!

Order a microwave for the room which was delivered broken. Took another hour to get a working one then they did not remove it from the room when asked. A bag of trash sat outside our room for 2 days before we reported it to the manager for removal.

very goos for 2 days for eady park entery

very good hotel with great location and very high level facilities - a fitness room, wide pool and easy parking/ the family room is too small narrow the water taxi - This was the main reason we got the hotel - but it wasn't much accsable in rush hours. ONLY 2 boats going and returning with great amount of people trying to get back ay 22:00 end time of parks. more than an hour waiting at the pier (in rainy weather) .

The fitness room, wide pool and easy parking. nice restaurants easy walking by foot to Volcano Bay nice quiet rooms
