So how deep is this pool? It appears only 3.5 feet. Are all of the resort pools so shallow?
As ever, Bio is delivering some unique views.
I believe this place will be popular with the young folks that like trendy food, tech toys, and hand crafted cocktails.
I add one more, it has to have a good shower. If I have to wait 20 for hot water or it just dribbles out I'm not a happy camper.I would submit a couple more qualifications: Clean and quiet. Beyond that, I'm good. Although, I do love a well-themed hotel like Wilderness Lodge or other deluxes (ex. Portofino, GF, Contemporary). However, for "value", clean, quiet, and nice bed.

I think it says a lot about where Universal is as a resort when they can be bold enough to try a hotel like this. For me personally, I don’t think it’s some where where I’d stay but I’ve got 3 more great options. For the majority of people, this is a solid addition that will probably encourage people to stay on site for their first time. I think Endless Summer will give the resort a fully rounded experience for everybody with any budget and any expectations.
Aventura seems like it would be great for weekend getaways for FL Res. that live outside the Orlando Metro area. Especially during HHN, The Holidays, and Mardi Gras. I don't see a lot of appeal for families with kids or international visitors who tend to stay longer than a couple of days.I think it says a lot about where Universal is as a resort when they can be bold enough to try a hotel like this.

And that's totally fair. Aventura won't be for everyone, but I think you're right that Endless Summer will add something for every price point. I wish I could say the same for the Mouse, but I can see Universal start to peel away some of the Disney resort crowd, albeit a small amount.

Yep, I don't want to stay offsite or pay Porto prices just for a place to crash so I don't have to I-4. No dealing with transport back and forth either.Aventura seems like it would be great for weekend getaways for FL Res. that live outside the Orlando Metro area.

Not sure how that would work, I have to go the first floor of the garage to go back home after HHN? And walk up the hill? If that happens then the boat to SF is going to be packed.Must be on the Volcano Bay loop?
From the UAOP email;
"10% off food and non-alcoholic drinks at all hotel outlets"
Think they mean "at this hotel"? OR
Starbucks at CBBR does not honor a pass discount so maybe they mean "unless we rent space to Starbucks"?
Confusing
That would be new for this hotel, the one in CW and in the park does but not CBBRStarbucks offers the AP discount, I believe
truely packed. I'll wave as the Cuban boatload goes by the RP:wave:Not sure how that would work, I have to go the first floor of the garage to go back home after HHN? And walk up the hill? If that happens then the boat to SF is going to be packed.
