As with many vacation destinations, choosing the right resort for your travel party can be a daunting task at times! And the labels that get put on each resort can make your head spin even more…value, prime value, signature, OH MY!….you think, how am I ever going choose?!
While you can’t go wrong staying at any of the amazing onsite resorts at Universal Orlando, staying at a Signature Collection Resort means that you will not only receive such benefits as:
- Early Park Admission to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter or Volcano Bay Water Park
- Complimentary Transportation and Parking
- Resort Wide Charging Privileges and Package Delivery
You will also have your choice at some of the largest rooms on property, suites your kids (and Mom and Dad) with LOVE such as the Despicable Me Kids’ Suites at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, club level rooms, multiple onsite dining options, and priority seating at select restaurants at the parks and City Walk.
But wait, there is more!! The BEST perk of staying Signature, in my opinion, is the coveted complimentary Universal Unlimited Express Pass- included at select Signature Collection hotels!!! A Universal Unlimited Express Pass will allow you to ride all of your favorite attractions over and over again with little wait at Universal Studios and/or Islands of Adventure.
Complimentary Transportation: Fun, free and easy is how guests of Universal hotels can get to the parks and back. All of Universal’s hotels offer complimentary shuttle buses to the parks and Universal CityWalk. Guests of Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, Hard Rock Hotel®, Loews Royal Pacific Resort or Loews Sapphire Falls Resort can climb aboard a complimentary water taxi* for a leisurely ride to CityWalk.
Merchandise Delivery: Guests of Universal hotels can be carefree and carry-free when shopping at select stores in Universal’s theme parks and CityWalk. We’ll deliver* their purchases directly to their hotel, free of charge.
Priority Seating: Guests of select Signature Collection hotels can take advantage of Priority Seating** at many restaurants across Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure and Universal CityWalk by visiting the Concierge desk of their hotel for reservations. (Separate theme park admission is required for park entry. Restrictions apply.)
As you begin to think of your Universal Orlando vacation, my advice would be to work with your travel advisor figure out what options and packages work best with your travel party. Definitely DO NOT count the Signature Collection Resorts out as you will likely be pleasantly surprised at the value and savings that can come along with it
