I'm finally feeling better from the flu! Please, please take care of yourself this cold and flu season. Flu A is awful. It hit me hard and fast. I hope everyone stays healthy and is ready for some more Universal Orlando Resort resort tour info!
Our next resort that we will be reviewing is Loews Sapphire Falls Resort. It has an amazing laid back Caribbean atmosphere and is beautifully themed. It features Standard Rooms (standard view, lagoon view, or pool view rooms) and Suites (kids' suites, King or Sapphire suites, a Hospitality suite, or the Presidential suite).
We got to tour the lobby, which is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, especially with their amazing holiday tree as their lobby center piece during the holiday season. There is also the Strong Water Tavern entrance in the lobby. Here, you will find a wall, yes a wall, of rums and a rum specialist to help you choose the perfect drink and food to pair together. This resort features the water taxi service to the parks, meaning you go through security at the dock before boarding the boat and you don't have to go through security again once arriving at Universal CityWalk. BIG perk for some people who stay at this resort. There is also a walking path that connects you to the Universal Volcano Bay Water Theme Park.
At the pool, Cabanas are available on a reservation basis. There is also sand at this pool to keep with the Caribbean feel of the resort. If you are traveling with babies or toddlers that are in need of swim diapers, you can ask for those at the service desk area of the pool. The pool 1600 square feet and features a water slide, kids play area, fire pit area, and more. Also, check with the concierge to see what pool side activities are available for that day. Activities may include ping pong tournaments, water balloon tosses, and more.
There is an arcade with a ton of games for everyone in your group/family. There is also a fitness center across from the arcade for those who need to get a workout in on your vacation.
Next, we toured the absolutely amazing kids' suites! This is an amazing suite for families that want to give their families the extra space on their vacation. The kids get their own room/space while the adults have their own room/space. These rooms do fill up quickly, so if you are interested, always ask for these rooms first before booking a simple standard room or rooms.
The last stop on our tour was Amatista Cookhouse, an exhibition restaurant where you can dine indoors or outdoors. Seasonal menus keep things interesting here with Caribbean-inspired dishes for everyone in your party.
This resort does fall into the Signature Resort category now, BUT you will not find the Universal Express Pass included with your stay here. That will be an extra expense to your vacation should you want to stay at this resort.
I fell in love with this resort due to the themeing and the tranquil atmosphere. I hope that my review of the resort helps those who are considering this resort for their Universal Orlando Resort stay! Let's talk about your Universal Orlando Resort vacation soon!
