ANOTHER Good Reason To Leave Disney World -- Universal's Aventura Hotel

35:50 Have you ever taken the water taxi? You can just walk to Sapphire Falls to the water taxi and it takes you right into City Walk. It's free for all Universal Hotel customers -- just show them your room card.

Great job as always, Molly. I agree that robot delivery would be a great addition to the Galactic Starcruiser. Just another example of how Universal is beating Disney at it's own game. And for far less money.

I LOVE seeing the Universal resort tours. They make me excited about staying there in ways the Disney ones don't always. Pricing, overcrowding, and value make a huge difference!

I've always been a HUGE disney person but in the last 3 or so years I have slowly been falling in love with Universal more and more. I'm a resort girl and the fact that they have really great resorts at awesome prices is what really pushed me over the edge plus the Universal Parks are just such fun, I could spend all day in the Harry Potter areas! It's nice to have an alternative to Disney, who unfortunately, really feels like it's pricing people out more and more every day. BTW, Relay was SO CUTE!!

I don’t think I know anything about Adventura, so I’m interested to see this deep dive into the resort. I’m watching this morning with a Starbucks cold brew in hand, which only feels right when watching Molly

Aventura is my go to resort at Universal. I like the vibe and it's much quieter than the other Universal resorts or the Disney resorts.

Thank s for showing Universal hotels! They really seem to cater to those of us who don’t want to blow our budget on hotels!😃

Molly- Adventura has it's own back gate to Volcano Bay! You don't have to go through Cabana Bay resort to get there. 🙂

Great review. I stayed at Aventura and Cabana Bay. They are both incredibly good for the price. I think Aventura is better for people who just want a peaceful quiet stay with less walking while Cabana Bay has more things to do. Since Aventura is next to Sapphire Falls, the water taxi was our favorite option to get to the park. We never took the bus when we stayed there.

I love that Universal has beautiful resorts at affordable prices! (Can't believe this is same or less than Disney All Stars.) Thank you for another fantastic tour Molly!

Will you guys PLEASE do Hilton Signia Bonnet Creek! I’d love to see more WDW good neighbor hotels in general! 🌈

We just returned from a 2 week stay at Endless Summer and cannot recommend Universal highly enough. We are completely converted from Disney thanks to the hotel, parks and perks. If we return, then we'd definitely consider Aventura. Thank you!

The walk is beautiful. Do that in the morning. Bus back when you're tired.

We stayed at Aventura in November last year. The staff was amazing! It was my sons birthday and they sent the robot to our room with some cake pops. My kid was so excited! My husband hurt his knee and I called to ask for an ice pack. It was delivered to us in less than 3 minutes. Again, staff is amazing! We had a great time. Our room was right under the roof bar so we could hear the music but it wasn't too terrible in order for us to sleep.

I upstated adventurer multiple times and been impressed both times. Last time we stayed with my brother and his wife who have stayed a very exclusive hotels and they thought it was fabulous too. Another great feature if you walk to Sapphire falls you can catch the boat to the theme parks cuts off a lot of walking and is a lovely way to get to the parks. The rooftop bar is such a lovely way to spend the evening and on some nights they even have live bands. The bartenders at the bar both in the lobby and the roof were excellent and made us custom drinks. If you need to do laundry they have it on three of the floors it was very clean and very convenient. For the money you spend this hotel is a fabulous find. We went in off times so the express pass would not have even been a benefit. I have stayed in the resorts that do provide the express pass and they are lovely too but as adults without children this is our favorite.

I went in August 2019 and fell in love with the resort and now I’m going again next week! Bar 17 is a top notch venue.

Ok, I actually love this resort. It's so close to Sapphire Falls, so you can utilize anything they have at their resort, but it's ultimately much less expensive. The food is decent, the halls are short (so you never have to walk a long way at the end of the night after a long park day), and the iPads in the rooms are very handy. The only real negative for me is that the pool is quite small, but there's a hot tub and pool bar. I've never been in the rooftop bar, but it's nice knowing it's there if that's your thing.

Thank you Universal for making your hotels affordable unlike Disney. I’m a huge Disney fan but I’m slowly becoming a HUGE universal fan! My husband and I work to hard to blow our money on just hotels. Thank you Molly! Fantastic review ❤

Definitely needed an update tour before my next trip. thanks!!!

Thanks for another great resort review Molly. I will definitely add this to my list for Universal stay..💐
