Universal's Aventura Hotel

Convenient access to the water taxi, modern rooms, amenities, and relative absence of young children are why we choose Aventura for every trip to Orlando, even for trips that include WDW. Helpful staff members and delicious food confirm our choice each visit. 1)The burgers and fries were delicious... so delicious that we shared one then came back for two more. 2)The yogurt parfaits are tastier, faster, more affordable, and diet restriction compliant than a full breakfast, which we appreciate and rely on every trip--an unsweetened yogurt option would be even better. 3)The staff at Aventura and across other Universal properties is consistently more helpful and attentive than at WDW. Universal is earning our loyalty through kindness and convenience. 4)Aventura has fewer young children on site, which is a big win for us. There is almost no noise in the hallway or through the walls of the rooms. 5)The bathrooms in the Aventura rooms are my favorite feature in the room: the vanity shelves, spacious shower, towel rack, and drying line suit all three of us. 6)The amenities pass (pool hopping) feature was a big win for us during this particular stay. We used our "free" day to explore other hotels and pools. We enjoyed the adventure, and we were excited to return to our own room at Aventura.

My one suggestion for improvement is to add a hand-towel bar on the wall by the vanity, opposite the shelves, and a bath-towel bar in the water closet (in place of the singular towel hook). If we had more places to hang our used towels to dry, we wouldn't need as many fresh towels during our stay.

Excellent location & access to parks. Great facilities. Good value for money.

Limited vegetarian menu

Great location with plenty of free transportation options to the parks. The option to pool hop with other Universal Hotels is great.
