Decent budget hotel on Universal property. Could be a lot better but other hotels cost twice as much. Quiet without all the children. However rooms need an update and there are not a lot of amenities.

Fun place to stay. Roof top bar and easy access to get to other hotels/resturants/city walk and park. Only issue is sometimes can hear loud guests in hallway late at night and chairs in lounge and roif top bar sit low to ground like kids chairs.

I loved my stay at Universal Aventura! Every single staff person I met was super friendly and really cared about making sure my stay was wonderful. This hotel is perfect for couples or groups of friends who want to stay at an affiliate hotel but not with all of the young kiddies running underfoot. The rooms are so nice and the views are awesome! I loved the modern feel and being able to control the lights, temperature, and tv from a tablet. They have a full service Starbucks and the Urban Pantry has a nice variety of food options. It’s so close to Volcano Bay (walking distance), and the shuttle to City Walk is super convenient. I was also able to enjoy the ferry boat from city walk to the neighboring Sapphire Hotel (another partner hotel) and walk 1 min back to Aventura. I will be back in 2025 and plan to stay at Aventura again! It felt like a home away from home!

Extremely convenient location walking distance from Universal Studios, you can take a boat , bus or just walk. Volcano bay is right outside of the gate of the hotel. Plenty of food choices, extremely clean , high tech, pleasant staff. 10/10 for visit with family ! Spacious rooms , great view and new amenities. Very convenient to drop off the bags and go to the park also can store your bags and continue your day after checking out using their showers on second floor to change/shower. Direct line of communication with on site staff through text messages.

Segregated smoking area located next to gaming area for children…why. An uninviting scene altogether. Unattended with trash even in the trees. Putrid towels in the bottom of a neglected towel station.

I was so glad I switched hotels at the last minute to the Aventura. This is such a great hotel for the universal parks. Volcano bay is so close you can walk there in a few minutes. Islands of Adventure and Universal are 10 mins by a very regular bus or 20 by the garden walk. The hotel itself is great for families even though the rooms are a little smaller than some of the other hotels, but the room layout is so great you hardly notice. Would definitely recommend.

Very nice hotel! Ammenities are all new! Love that you can watch youtube and other streaming devices on their TV and the ipad controls everything! Very clean and new! We come home to a clean hotel room after tiring days at the park! Love the floor to ceiling view from our room and waking up to a very nice view! Bed are super comfy! I slept like a baby! Would definitely come back!

Great clean hotel with not too many kids running around which makes it a great alternative to some of the other hotels. Only thing to note is the downstairs food options close pretty early and the Starbucks closes even earlier which i thought was a big miss for people coming back from the parks. Other than that the hotel was great and clean and was perfect for a few nights stay!

This was a great hotel, the dining options were amazing for me and my wife who eat very differently. The hotel was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooftop patio had a good view of the Disney fireworks at 8:30 and so did our room as we happened to be on the right side. We toured Cabana Bay, Lowes and the Hard Rock while we visited and felt we made the right decision choosing the Aventura as a child free couple. The pool was nice and quiet at the Aventura while the other hotels looked better suited for children.
