Staying at one of the eight (soon to be eleven) Universal Orlando Resorts allows you to spend more time enjoying the thrills and adventure. But staying at one of the three select Universal Orlando Signature Resorts gets you closer to thrills without the hefty price tag!
When you stay at Hard Rock Hotel, Loews Portofino Bay Hotel or Loews Royal Pacific Resort, complimentary Unlimited Express Passes are included in your stay for everyone on your hotel reservation. A One Night Stay at one of these resorts costs an average of $600-$1,000 (depending on room type and time of year) for two adults and a one day Unlimited Express Pass for two parks for one adult is about $200.
Each of these three Signature Resorts offer Club Level rooms, which starts at an extra $100/night per room, NOT per person. This in and of itself it’s worth the extra cost because if a family of 4 stays at Royal Pacific, the Club Lounges offer a hot breakfast, snacks throughout the day and dinner in the evening. If that family does not choose a Club Level room, one meal in the parks could average $30/person. The lounges are also open until 10pm so Club Level Guests can come and go as they please.
Now let’s talk dining, even if you have Club Level access, there are some wonderful dining options available. The Signature resorts have more options than other resort categories at Universal Orlando, including a Gelato shop and a Starbucks at Portofino Bay. Dining Reservations for the sit down restaurants can be made up to 90 days in advance with your 407&Beyond Travel Agent.
Next up, the pools: there are multiple pools at these three Signature Resorts, some more quiet than others, perfect for a relaxing resort day! The pools also have cabanas available for rent, (reach out to your travel agent 30-60 days in advance for pricing and availability). Cabanas can fit up to 4 Guests and have a ceiling fan, a TV, refrigerator stocked with water bottles, sodas and a fruit basket, a safe. You’ll also have an attendant bring you any drinks or food from the pool bar.
When you stay at a Universal Signature Resort, the proximity to the parks is a huge benefit! Between all three, it’s less than a 10 minute walk or a very short water taxi ride from the resort boat dock to City Walk! The Garden Walking path is a nice leisure path winding along the water way where the water taxis go for the resorts.
Once you get to the parks, there is a separate entrance exclusive for Resort Guests, even for Hard Rock Hotel Guests because that Resort is right next to Universal Studios Theme Park.
With many positive benefits, staying at a Universal Orlando Premier Resort on your next Universal Orlando Vacation will be worth it! Reach out to your 407&Beyond Travel Agent to book your next stay.
