"The food hall concept has never been tried at a hotel, according to LaRuffa..."
Um, the Todd English Food Hall at The Plaza in NYC begs to differ.

That place is awesome, always super packed too.
I tried to book a trip at Aventura for Sept. 23-Oct.1 and the website says there are no rooms available for those dates. I talked with the Universal travel agent and she mentioned more rooms might become available when HHN packages go on sale. Anyone have any insight into this?
Essentially, but the food tends to be a lot better. Almost like a bunch of high quality food trucks assembled in a hall. I'm definitely looking forward to eating at Aventura now.
Hotels generally hold back rooms for Travel Agency promotions, Universal package deal promotions, etc. The closer you get to the date, there's a possibility rooms will open up if the agents and marketing people didn't fill their allotments. It's a crap shoot though.
In addition to what @Mad Dog said many people will book a block of time at several places and or in advance (I booked in December) when they are thinking about HHN and then when it gets closer with plans more set they release their excess bookings or move the dates freeing up rooms. Keep trying...
Also microsoft will be in Orlando again that week. With the success of last years event could be another park buyout.Universal Orlando Close Up | Here's Why Microsoft Ignites’ Event at Universal Orlando Resort Was Epic
Doing that buyout last year cost them an HHN night if I remember correctly so I wonder if Universal will push to schedule it on a day that wouldn't interfere if Microsoft decides to buy out again.
Just booked 2 weeks here for Dec 2018 based on the fact that the package holiday was about $900 cheaper than CBBR (with the $100 food credit included) and that it already looks like it’s gonna be bloody lush!! :shades:
I think CBBR's big advantage over Aventura is it's pools which are almost useless in December so I'd call this a massive win win.
Totally! :thumbsup: I truly love the lazy river at Cabana and would even personally rank the hotel above the other 4 current on-sites based on that feature alone, but the fact that Volcano Bay is within walking distance from Aventura, it’s got to be worth a punt at that price differential.
Cabana Bay is walking distance as well. (Much closer if you stay towards the larger towers)
Yeah, that’s right. My point was that I don’t have to pay $900 more to stay at CBBR to make use of their lazy river from August onwards, I can just stay at Aventura and use the 2 lazy rivers at VB with a short walk (as well as having the option to nip over to CBBR and use theirs too)
MY NAME IS MARTIN AND I AM A LAZY RIVER ADDICT! :drool:
