Standard Room (Includes Early Park Admission*)

Rooms at the resort face either the lagoon or the pool, so you wake up to water and Caribbean-style surroundings rather than a car park. The resort has 1,000 rooms across 8 floors, and the Standard Room is the classic way to enjoy that setting at a more approachable price than a suite.

The room has 2 Queen Beds with premium bedding and crisp sheets, and it sleeps up to 5 guests within its 321 sq. ft. A rollaway or extra bed can be added for a surcharge, and a complimentary crib is available, which helps families with little ones. Connecting rooms are also offered for bigger groups.

It is a private bathroom with a shower/bathtub combination, which is handy if you are travelling with children. You will find towels, a hair dryer and designer toiletries. Accessible options are also offered in this room type.

Yes. The Standard Two Queen room is the pet-friendly room type at the resort. Up to 2 pets per room are allowed, each up to 75 lbs, with a fee of about $150 per pet, per stay, collected at check-in. Please tell the hotel ahead of your stay and bring current vaccination records from a licensed veterinarian. Pets receive treats, a leash, toys, a Pet-In-Room sign and a pet room-service menu, and there are designated pet relief areas on property. Service animals are exempt from the fee.

You get Early Park Admission: with a valid theme park ticket you can enter select attractions up to an hour early, and Volcano Bay up to 30 minutes early. Also included are complimentary water taxi and shuttle service to Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure and CityWalk, free WiFi (covering up to four devices per room), and access to the Kalina Health and Fitness Center. Pool towels and life jackets are complimentary for resort guests.

It suits families well. The room sleeps five, offers a complimentary crib and optional rollaway, and the resort is family-friendly with a 16,000-square-foot zero-entry pool, a water slide, white-sand beaches and a children's splash pad. Children under 48 inches must wear a life jacket on the slide, and children under 36 inches are not permitted on it. If you want a separate themed children's room, the resort also offers Kids' Suites.

Very easy. The resort's own transportation hub is about a 1-minute walk away, offering a complimentary shuttle and water taxi. Volcano Bay is roughly a 6-minute walk, Islands of Adventure about a 6-8 minute walk, and Universal Studios Florida about a 12-minute walk. Combined with Early Park Admission, it makes for a smooth start to park days.

There is 24-hour room service, plus Amatista Cookhouse for Caribbean-inspired table service, Strong Water Tavern for tapas, ceviche and rum, and Drhum Club Kantine, the poolside bar and grill. New Dutch Trading Co. is a grab-and-go spot that opens at 6:00 AM for coffee, pastries and sandwiches. Each room also has a mini-fridge for drinks and snacks.

Check-in is at 4:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. You can check in at the front desk or through the Universal Orlando Resort App, though you will still collect your room keys at the front desk. A major credit card and photo ID are required, and a hold of roughly $200 per night is placed on the card for incidentals. At least one guest in the room must be 21 or older. Overnight self-parking is about $36 plus tax per night and valet about $45 plus tax.
