I couldn’t have asked for more from a “budget” resort. We booked the suite which has 2 sleeping areas. It was extremely clean, but note that storage is very limited. It really didn’t bother us (2 adult women and 1 teen girl) at all. The pool was beautiful and life guarded. Towels are provided. The food is all cafeteria style but they offer… Read more
I couldn’t have asked for more from a “budget” resort. We booked the suite which has 2 sleeping areas. It was extremely clean, but note that storage is very limited. It really didn’t bother us (2 adult women and 1 teen girl) at all. The pool was beautiful and life guarded. Towels are provided. The food is all cafeteria style but they offer everything you could possibly want, and the quality is very good. Staff is very pleasant everywhere. Our only glitch was waiting well past the 4:00 check in to get into our room. We were tired and wanted to get settled in. The only explanation we were given was it was being cleaned, but we waited close to 2 hours. They did comp our parking for the week and gave us some meal tickets which was a nice gesture and made me feel much better about everything. I would definitely go back. Read less

this hotel will steal your money. they took out £202 twice once on friday 21st june and again today and im not even in america any more they said the first change was for a smoking fee in the room . we didn’t smoke in the room we went out side . my parter made a joint of weed and left the cigarette ends on the table as we was going to clean the room that night. they basically said they didn’t care if i smoked inside or out side but they will not remove the charge . and again today they stole £203 so i’ve had enough my bank is going to do a charge back in the next 2-3 days and i’ve got a new card with different details in the post . we basically spent £4500 when we booked the holiday and then we spent over £4000 while we was there as everything is so expensive. if you have been to this hotel i would check your bank statement . there is no way i’m letting them get away with this … oh and they said they had picture evidence … it’s not evidence all you see is the ripped up cigarette ends from using the tobacco for the joint of week . the cigarette where not lit ever in the room. we would go to the car park smoking area or we would go and chill at the back off the pool area in the smoking area . Universal we was thinking of coming back in october as well to dockside but we are not now. we going to disney hotels instead. all you do is steal money from people . twice. ps it says direct card purchase on them i’m not even in america anymore . the bank said surfside have basically stole from my bank account with out me knowing and with no email or text or phone call. just took money out and nothing, not a word from them.

The room extremely far from parking garage and elevator. Good thing we brought a wagon with us. The room decor had a nice theme but that’s about it. The beds were very uncomfortable and the walls were super thin. I didn’t get any sleep because of the bed and I could hear the family word to word next door even at midnight of the night… this hotel… Read more
