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.

Loved the hotel I am a senior Irish citizen in my early 70s and would loveto revsit

Location was excellent as was room. Staff at bar were excellent Alanna and the Donegal Irish / Sri Lankan young women who was excellent to chat to customers and mix cocktails was exceptional and an asset to any bar who likes to interact with the customers.

I was returning a car rental to Avis at Universal supposedly close by but due to no proper signs and Google maps I ended up trying to enter the wrong car park and had to do a bumpy u turn .Avis please get a stranger to the area to return a car to Avis .Also there seems to anyone ever on duty at the Avis desk

Fabulous resort to enhance your visit to the Universal Studios Parks andor Orlando

Our room had a great view of the lagoon and we loved that we could see when the taxi boat was coming. Our room was clean, quiet and comfortable. We enjoyed breakfast off the menu at the hotel restaurant. Shout out to Emi at the front desk, she was friendly, helpful and very accommodating! We would highly recommend this resort to those visiting Orlando and especially those planning to go to the Universal Parks.

No improvements required, keep up the great hospitality!

The facilities were clean, and all the front desk staff were friendly and made me feel comfortable. I had a bit of trouble finding the self-parking entrance, but overall, it was a satisfying stay.

Excellent value for money, would stay again.

The gym facilities were outstanding, lobby area was nice and open, bright and vibrant. The location is great due to the addition of the water taxi direct to city walk. The rooms were pretty big, clean and modern.

I think the food could have been better pool-side but this isn’t a dealbreaker for us at all, it’s brilliant value for money and I think that arguably it could be classed as a premier hotel if it wasn’t for the lack of fast pass included.

Beautiful, Comfortable & Convenient transportation

Beautiful lobby, large pool area with lots of chairs. Pool activities for kids on weekends. very comfortable beds. Boat ride into citywalk is wonderful, and quick. We never waited longer then 20min for the boat.

The meal options in the market were the same all week. Variety would have been nice. Kids activities were only on the weekend, nothing else all week.

Sapphire Falls provided exactly what we were looking for— comfort, relaxation, and convenience.

Our stay at Sapphire Falls was wonderful! The room was comfortable and clean throughout our entire stay. The entire resort was beautiful, including the lobby, pool, and restaurants. The staff was always friendly and helpful whenever we had questions. We tried each of the restaurants in the hotel and can’t wait to visit them all again because of how delicious the food was. The water taxi and shuttle were super convenient and made it easy to travel to the parks throughout our stay. We hope to return to Sapphire Falls in the future!

The only thing I disliked was that the pillows could have been firmer (I believe I stacked three at a time to sleep on), but that is just a personal preference and I could bring my own pillow next time!

Amazing hotel

Hotel was amazing. Location and free boat rides meant we could visit the theme parks but could go back to the pool half way through the day. The staff were great and the room was very clean. The hotel had a very welcoming feel about it.

Nothing. It was an excellent hotel in every way.

Excellent stay at Loews Sapphire Falls Resort! The location is perfect, with very easy and quick access to Universal parks thanks to the shuttles and water taxi. The hotel is beautiful, surrounded by greenery, with a relaxing atmosphere. Rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well equipped. The staff is friendly and always helpful. A special highlight is the proximity to the parks, which allowed us to fully enjoy our days without wasting time on transportation. Highly recommended for families and travelers looking for comfort, relaxation, and direct access to the parks.”

Hotel location was fantistic for our holiday and the water taxi's made life far easier to the parks although the walk takes less than 10 min . Passing through security early was a bonus as well

I also stayed at a Disney hotel and felt the bar prices at Sapphire falls were a little expensive
