They didn’t show any sign they had been there,

09/01/2021

The theming with giant flowers that shoot water and images of dancing hippies with the neon colors is so fun.

07/23/2021

The price is a value if the Magic Express is included (free ride to/from airport) and then you don't have to waste your money on rentals and parking fees.

07/10/2021

Having our Magic Bands on our wrist at checkin while at the airport is how you begin your WDW experience.

07/05/2021

But, if I had to pick between Pop and Art again, I would definitely go with Art of Animation.

09/27/2021

It's a good value and has a cheerful vibe, fun pools, and the convenience of the Skyliner.

09/02/2021

Pop Century has a cute theme, and the grounds are nicely decorated.

09/01/2021

The theming with giant flowers that shoot water and images of dancing hippies with the neon colors is so fun.

07/23/2021

It was fun to walk the grounds and admire the decorations in the different decades.

07/20/2021

I guess it is normally a cafeteria style where you see the food and choose.

07/10/2021

Beds are very comfortable, there is a small closet, and some drawers to use.

07/06/2021

Nice bathroom layout with lots of storage, and comfortable beds, including the murphy bed.

06/20/2021

We utilized the murphy bed and it was very comfortable.

04/19/2021

Bed comfy.

04/04/2021

Beds were comfortable and easy to sleep in after a long day of walking through magic kingdom, LOL!

07/21/2021

The rooms have been recently remodeled and are nice.

07/06/2021

The hotel is well maintained, spotless and the recently renovated rooms were compact

06/30/2021

Stayed here right before the pandemic got bad and the food was absolutely wonderful rooms have been updated since I have gone last and overall really wonderful stay highly recommend.

04/14/2021

Rooms had been updated since our last visit and had a nice Mickey Mouse theme.

04/05/2021

I was pleasantly surprised to see the room was renovated and clean.

09/18/2021

The walls are so thin I was kept awake because of our neighbor’s snoring - all night long for the first couple of nights.

09/13/2021

How can they not hear us?

09/05/2021

Our only real negative was the fact that you can hear through the room walls quite easily so if you are trying to enjoy a good sleep and some family in the next room is being super loud you will hear every word.

08/15/2021

We were on the 4th floor and we did not notice noise from our neighbors unless they were outside of the entry door.

08/10/2021

I would not get this room again just for the noise issue.

09/25/2021

Rooftop bar was great.

09/17/2021

The roof top bar is an amazing experience.

08/28/2021

We missed the great Mgr Shaw this visit at the Rooftop Bar,

08/26/2021

The rooftop bar was amazing.

08/16/2021

There is a cool rooftop bar and a few places to eat in the lobby.

09/30/2021

Aventura is an amazing hotel in the perfect location to visit all 3 theme parks, Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios and Volcano Bay and also relax in.

09/21/2021

The theme parks are a walk or a quick ride away.

08/16/2021

The room was on the 11th floor and had a nice view of the theme park and Sapphire Falls.

07/26/2021

The room was excellent and had an amazing view of the theme parks.

07/17/2021

Combine all these features and easy access to Volcano Bay, City Walk and the Universal theme parks, we had a great trip.

08/24/2021

The first issue is the absolute horrible elevator planning.

08/16/2021

but that was the only time there was an issues with the elevators.

08/09/2021

N/A

08/03/2021

Sometimes there were up to 15 minute waits for the elevator.

07/26/2021

The only complaints we had were that the 5 elevators that were running were pretty crowded every time we tried to take them.

09/17/2021

They had multiple bars choices in the resort,plenty of dining options,in a nice quiet environment.

08/26/2021

The hotel does give off a chic adult vide.

08/24/2021

From the outside this looks like a wonderful hotel, tall, modern, and sleek.

08/16/2021

It's has a more adult vibe and is perfect for adults and couples, not to say you won't encounter any kids because you will, the hotel just doesn't have a lot geared towards kids like say Cabana Bay and the Endless Summer hotels.

08/03/2021

Our room seemed nice and clean, modern minimalist style.

09/27/2021

Aventura is next to Volcano Bay and is an easy walk, an easier bus ride, or a lovely boat ride to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and City Walk (which joins the two parks).

09/25/2021

Hubby and I came down to day drink at City Walk and do HHN.

09/18/2021

Close to all the parks including City Walk.

08/13/2021

Early park access at 8 and a shuttle runs about every 15-20 minutes to take you to and pick you up from city walk.

08/05/2021

Excellent experience and comfortable in the hotel, very close to the parks and city walk, food was really good and next time I want to expend more days at the hotel and parks I feel very secure at the universal hotel and parks.

09/30/2021

We booked a club level room on their Rock Royalty floor.

09/26/2021

To be fair, the lobby is beautiful and the constant rock and roll playing on large screens in the lobby is fun.

09/07/2021

Like any Hard Rock, it had the rock and roll theme that I couldn't get enough of.

08/29/2021

It had a rock star decor.

08/28/2021

You definitely put the “Rock” in the Hard Rock Hotel !! !

09/07/2021

- I loved the hotel decor.

08/29/2021

- Rooms were clean and had a nice layout…again, they are outdated.

08/29/2021

The vibe at the hotel is great.

08/25/2021

The purpose of our stay was to chill out after 7 days at parks., and to feel the Hard Rock vibe.

08/03/2021

I love its convenience with location, the pool area is gorgeous, the rooms are spacious, and the hotel itself is just fun to be at with a really cool vibe.

08/25/2021

If you are visiting Universal studios it is a short 5 minute walk to City Walk and you get automatic express passes .

08/23/2021

It’s a close walk to city walk.

08/02/2021

We were really greatful for the short walk right to universal studios and City Walk.

06/04/2021

The proximity is ideal for visiting Universal and the City Walk.

04/19/2021

We were in walking distance to City Walk and all parks.

08/29/2021

It’s a 5 minute walk to Universal and a 15 minute walk to Islands or you can take a water taxi.

08/05/2021

There is a water taxi that also takes you to city center,

07/20/2021

You can take an 8 minute walk or just take the water taxi, which is right outside of the door.

06/04/2021

The water taxi is a fun way to get from the hotel to Universal,

03/28/2021

You could also take a water taxi right to the entrance of the City Walk.

09/30/2021

but again, a bit pricey.

09/07/2021

I was worried it would be overpriced for what I got

08/31/2021

The food was pricey,

08/29/2021

NOT A PRO OR A CON - Club Lounge - I’m not sure how to rate this…it was okay.

08/25/2021

The prices in the conveniences tire are astronomical for example $6 plus tax for a packet of crisps / chips .

09/07/2021

The bus stop was a short walk away.

07/30/2021

Bus Stop # 1 is so close to the lobby and we were truly blessed for this.

07/26/2021

The room was clean and location to the Destiny Tower and bus stop #4 was convenient.

07/10/2021

I stay on Casitas 1, and was close to Main Bus Stop and close to Restaurants, and from my room I saw Magic Kingdom Fireworks all nights.

07/09/2021

Bus stop was over 200 meters away, and that was the closest thing.

02/15/2020

but miss the old character, theming, and charm that the new construction is lacking.

08/09/2019

but not all, of the problems were during design and construction.

08/02/2019

They are doing construction so it's very busy.

06/27/2019

We were a little hesitant to stay at this time because of the construction.

06/18/2019

never trust Disney resorts where construction is going on. .

08/20/2021

Grounds are well kept and pool is pretty cool.

07/07/2021

The resort itself was beautiful and we loved exploring the grounds, recreation and offerings.

06/17/2021

The grounds are beautiful and everything is very clean and well kept.

06/06/2021

Property is beautiful with manicured grounds, quaint fountains, clean quiet pool, elevators, quick delivery of extra towels and linen change when requested.

05/29/2021

The grounds are incredible and the rooms were classic and clean.

08/18/2021

Next, my door wouldn’t open with my magic band, thankfully it opened with my phone.

07/29/2021

4 calls and almost 30 minutes later including yelling from another guest, someone walked over with the detergent

07/27/2021

O and try to call the hotel direct?

06/02/2021

We had our magic bands from a previous trip, and did not try the phone app to open the door.

05/29/2021

If you already have a magic band from a previous trip or if you buy one, you may have more success than the phone app.

04/11/2021

The grounds are absolutely beautiful, and the recently remodeled rooms are extremely classy and comfortable.

03/21/2021

The room was recently remodeled, had wonderful storage under the beds, and plenty of space to keep all of our things organized.

02/07/2021

We stayed in the tower on the 6th floor - room 661, updated room with king sized bed and a pull out queen - more than ample space.

11/03/2020

The hotel has been renovated and the rooms are modern and clean.

06/17/2020

I'd highly recommend staying here, the renovated rooms are really nice, they give you body wash and shampoo/conditioner from the H2O range and there is also a hairdryer and an in room safe - free of charge.

08/23/2021

The rooms in the Tower are spacious and are nicely decorated.

08/06/2021

but the room looked pristine with high-quality wood flooring; perhaps it was recently remodeled.

07/30/2021

Parking was easy, lobby is nice, bright and welcoming.

07/21/2021

Decor is up to date and classy.

07/10/2021

Parking for the tower is close and brightly lit.

09/25/2021

We had a vulgar nasty woman next door to us that was smoking while standing in the door to her room and screaming the nastiest of profane comments at her kids/family at times ranging from 6:30 in the morning to 11:00 at night.

09/24/2021

It is very hard to find cigarettes, we ran out and had to pay 16 dollars a pack at hard rock cafe bar, they only carry Marlboro.

09/14/2021

The bathroom smelled like literal (not figurative) sh**.

09/13/2021

The new room after dragging ALL our stuff down to it smelled like POT, or Marijuana!

09/06/2021

That’s nasty!

09/29/2021

We stayed at Cabana Bay beach resort in a recent trip to Universal Studios.

09/26/2021

A shuttle to and from Universal was super convenient and our stay allowed us into Universal an hour before park opening, which is hugely beneficial when trying to experience all of the super popular Harry Potter attractions.

09/17/2021

Love Harry Potter Properties, Love Thrill Rides, Love being vaccinated

09/16/2021

With 2 teenagers and a pre-teen in tote I headed out to a weekend at Universal Studios staying at Cabana Bay Resort.

09/13/2021

Now, as if you want to come to Universal Studios, I recommend Endless Summer Surfside.

08/30/2021

It's very close to Volcano Bay.

08/28/2021

Loved the walking distance to Volcano Bay and the ease of the shuttle to city walk and Univeral parks.

08/22/2021

Resort was clean, loved the proximity to volcano bay.

08/22/2021

• The proximity to Volcano Bay is magnificent.

08/12/2021

but the pool, the closeness of Volcano Bay, and other parks, was worth the money.

09/24/2021

The only good thing about the hotel is the suite style rooms that make it very convenient for large parties traveling together

09/23/2021

I absolutely loved the mid century feel of the resort and was tickled to find some old school style toiletries in the bathroom.

09/22/2021

We love the vibe of this hotel and the lazy river.

09/21/2021

It has a goodwill vibe that is contagious and I plan on keeping that here back at home.

09/19/2021

The retro-themed decor and music took us back to a more carefree and relaxed time and all this was before we even got to the parks!

09/14/2021

We like the shuttle bus service to the parks and to city walk.

08/28/2021

Loved the walking distance to Volcano Bay and the ease of the shuttle to city walk and Univeral parks.

08/17/2021

The shuttle to universal city walk and universal studios was good.

08/15/2021

but city walk security experience was a turnoff.

08/11/2021

Free transportation to parks and city walk.

09/26/2021

On the one day housekeeping came you almost couldn’t tell they had been there.

09/21/2021

Room cleaning service is excellent and we had an immediate delivery of extra bathroom supplies when I called the front desk.

09/18/2021

The room had not been cleaned.

09/14/2021

Housekeeping was suppose to come every other day

09/13/2021

I had to go in the housekeeping closet and get myself .

09/30/2021

Further, when making the booking, there's NO warning of that absurd fee for receiving an envelop.

09/23/2021

We are paying to stay there so why do we have to pay to park there?

09/18/2021

Overall the experience has left a bad taste in my mouth about the property and I know there is better hotels for a similar price with quality customer service throughout their ENTIRE management staff.

09/17/2021

We are at the restaurant the food was just OK and a little over priced.

09/09/2021

It’s over price the cleaning staff doesn’t clean the room the right way I had to call 3 times and go to the front desk and they still didn’t get the job done!

09/28/2021

Great room , amazing customer service, great food, water taxi awesome, overall a stay couldn’t be any better .

09/27/2021

So close to parks, just a water taxi ride away.

09/26/2021

Convenience of the water taxi is superb, and overall atmosphere well exceeds expectations.

09/25/2021

The water taxi inside the parks.

09/20/2021

We took the water taxi most of the time,

09/26/2021

Convenience of the water taxi is superb, and overall atmosphere well exceeds expectations.

09/22/2021

Rooms are clean, Quiet, and a great design!

09/20/2021

), and impressive decor and landscaping.

09/14/2021

Clean & stylish rooms, great food and an outstanding venue.

09/05/2021

The food was good, it was very clean, and had nice decor.

09/06/2021

People are there to get you bags( walk in the door to your left bell service is ready ) They said people were rude.

08/06/2021

Sliding Barn door to bathroom in room.

08/02/2021

the restaurants both on site and in parks are VERY expensive, so we ended up Door Dashing in most out meals to save money.

07/29/2021

The bathroom had a barn door which we found a bit clunky and cumbersome.

07/17/2021

Our sons at 5:15 (next door was not cleaned) basically, the attitude is take it or leave it.

09/20/2021

It was great being able to travel back and forth from Universal and City Walk via the boat transfer.

09/20/2021

Sapphire Falls has their own metal detector and bag scanner on the dock, and it is such a relaxing experience getting to and from the parks by boat!!

09/05/2021

Jumped on the boat and right there at the entrance to the parks.

09/05/2021

The best thing about this hotel is that it was easily accessible via an on-location boat to Universal Studios.

08/19/2021

This was an amazing resort, the staff the rooms, the food, the pool, The CityWalk, the boat ride, the restaurants… I could go on and on

09/20/2021

It was great being able to travel back and forth from Universal and City Walk via the boat transfer.

09/20/2021

When you take the shuttle, you have to go through the main City Walk security, which is similar to the airport with regards to crowds and how stressful it is.

09/07/2021

The water taxi was super convenient to transport back and forth to City Walk and Universal.

08/13/2021

The hotel is in a prime location very close proximity to the parks and city walk.

08/08/2021

Convenient quick water taxi ride to Universal theme parks including City Walk.

08/10/2021

When we go through the gift shop or pass by staff on property, they look away, stare at their phone, or completely disregard our presence.

08/08/2021

I did have to call housekeeping twice when housekeeping didn't come to the room on the scheduled days

07/25/2021

N/A

07/20/2021

The direct to door check in feature on your phone is handy -

06/29/2021

It took 6 days & 6 phone calls for them to finally clean our room.

09/04/2021

Pool is nice swamp by kids and adults.

08/26/2021

Stayed for 2 nights mainly so my kids could see the Cars and Little stuff on the grounds.

08/20/2021

It is really nice to have the extra full bath when traveling with 4 kids.

08/17/2021

Got my sons first Disney visit

08/09/2021

We got back to the hotel and my son needed recovery time due to heat exhaust.

08/10/2021

We've had people knock on the door asking when they can do a visual check of the room while the occupied sign is up.

08/08/2021

While they are not necessary they are certainly useful because they can be used to open your door, make purchases, and be used for your park admission.

08/01/2021

We left for the day to Disney and came back to sheets laid at the front door and still dirty sheets on the beds.

07/25/2021

We even had a housekeeping staff open our door letting an elderly man and his dog in our room when he became lost.

07/20/2021

You don't even have to break down your stroller if it fits through the door.

08/20/2021

Our first trip we stayed in Finding Nemo, our second trip the Lion King and our third trip Cars.

07/20/2021

I recommend the Cars or Finding Nemo buildings - they are close to the main pools, lobby, buses and dining.

04/20/2021

The decor on the Finding Nemo buildings were so vibrant.

03/04/2021

The Lion King and Finding Nemo areas were also amazingly beautiful.

01/18/2021

We had book a Little Mermaid room and before we left, I noticed we were upgraded to a Finding Nemo Family Suite!! Yay!!

The way it is decorated is magnificent.

The property was very well maintained and the decorations beautiful for the kids.

07/28/2021

The hotel is beautiful with Disney decorations everywhere.

08/07/2021

Our Disney Travel Consultant recommended this property as well as the Nemo family suites.

07/20/2021

We stayed in a Cars family suite.

06/30/2021

We stayed in a Cars family suite, which was close to both the lobby/food court and the Skyliner.

06/19/2021

The cars family suites were perfect for our group.

04/20/2021

A family suite is great especially with a second bathroom.

08/05/2020

An absolutely brilliant Disney Hotel, nothing was ever too much trouble for the staff.

06/07/2020

This resort in my opinion is the prettiest in Disneyworld, it’s such a fantastic setting and the beautiful centrepiece being boatwrights where you can catch the boat to Disney springs or even hire your own, don’t miss out this place when visiting.

05/07/2020

Another huge benefit is the boats that take you to Disney Springs!

05/03/2020

We loved getting the boat to Disney springs.

04/27/2020

The Disney cast was always helpful and nice.

08/05/2020

10-15 mins by bus to all of the parks.

05/03/2020

but the quick service meals at the parks and Disney springs were much better quality I feel.

03/30/2020

They have a nice club ( The Scat Cat) to get a drink and listen to a band after a long day at the parks.

03/23/2020

However, because WDW is so huge and attracts so many people, it can be time consuming just to get to and into theme parks with the required security now.

03/15/2020

We were on the dinning plan so we would get 3 snacks and use 1 meal credit to take to the park with us during the day.

02/27/2020

N/A

02/03/2020

The phone had been turned in, and a cast member drove an hour and a half to Port Canaveral to give it to me.

01/31/2020

There was a layer of dust on the phone and along the top of the TV.

01/24/2020

It took well over 30mins to check in as the CM had to eventually go out to the back room and sort things out as nobody would answer the phone to her.

01/24/2020

Wait, not enough of a wake up call?

07/12/2020

You can walk to riverside too and get the boat to the springs!

06/07/2020

This resort in my opinion is the prettiest in Disneyworld, it’s such a fantastic setting and the beautiful centrepiece being boatwrights where you can catch the boat to Disney springs or even hire your own, don’t miss out this place when visiting.

05/03/2020

We loved getting the boat to Disney springs.

04/22/2020

Loved the boat to Disney Springs.

05/07/2020

The rooms were modernized and while simple still give you a bit of the New Orleans charm, its the hotels grounds and theming

03/15/2020

Great hotel great facilities and great atmosphere.

03/14/2020

While still being family friendly, there is a 'grown up' vibe here.

03/06/2020

We also enjoyed a Mardi gras party whilst there and the atmosphere was FANTASTIC.

02/27/2020

I still love the vibe of Port Orleans

09/28/2021

but were woken up early a few times with the cleaning people yelling up and down the halls to each other.. At one point they knocked on our door and then immediately came in the room before I could even stand up.

09/23/2021

The cleaning could be 100% better.

09/18/2021

However, housekeeping left opened shower gel and shampoo from former guests in the shower, there was no light housekeeping as promised by the front desk, and there were honey ants each morning at the bathroom sink.

09/13/2021

The rooms are not cleaned well.

09/11/2021

Our room was not cleaned properly either.

09/26/2021

This hotel is beautifully designed and the rooms are clean and comfortable.

09/23/2021

The property and rooms are well designed, atmospheric and relaxing. The staff was universally(!)

09/21/2021

Atmosphere is delightful.

09/20/2021

Overall the hotel staff was all delightful and welcoming and the hotel itself is in good condition, clean, and has a family friendly atmosphere.

09/14/2021

The hotel is beautiful and has a relaxing vibe.

09/27/2021

Rooms at the Royal Pacific were comfortable and clean, helpful and friendly staff, we enjoyed the pool 3 nights out of our 5 night stay, water taxi was a great and efficient way to get to the theme parks (Studios and Islands).

09/26/2021

You can either walk or take the water taxi which the kids absolutely loved.

09/26/2021

The water taxi was a huge convenience,

09/23/2021

Water taxi is cool, access to Parks is good too.

09/22/2021

I loved having the taxi boat option

09/27/2021

I would eat at city walk over the resort any day.

09/23/2021

but the bus is convenient or it’s about a 10 minute walk to City Walk.

09/21/2021

The hotel was very clean and we loved how close it was to the parks and city walk.

09/18/2021

The perks alone at this hotel (unlimited fast pass at Universal and Islands, early park admission, dedicated park entrances for hotel guests, plus boat rides to City Walk) made it worth it to star here.

09/12/2021

You go thru screening to get into City Walk before getting on the boat or at the end of the walking path near Margaritaville.

09/29/2021

That she was given the power by the team to only offer a small rate reduction for an absolutely horrible RESORT stay.

09/23/2021

Drinks by the pool are expensive %18 mandatory tip, and very weak, my wife doesn't drink alcohol very often and she didn't get a buzz after drinking a couple of mixed drinks.

09/20/2021

The game room was open (have to pay for tokens to play though).

In saying that, For the price, the food should’ve been better.

One minor caveat is that the walls are pretty thin and the next door guests were extremely loud.

09/24/2021

but I am tall and could not take a shower w/o banging my elbows against the walls over and over.

09/19/2021

Walls were paper thin and the people around us were loud up until 3am.

09/17/2021

One of the two sinks did not drain properly and the walls as others stated are literally paper thin!

08/26/2021

Be aware that the walls are very thin at this resort-- at least in tower 2.

Soundproofing is very poor for a brand new hotel, with noise from neighboring rooms and corridor.

09/17/2021

Be prepared to hear EVERYTHING!

Additionally, there was zero soundproofing between the rooms.
