Universal Endless Summer Resort - Surfside and Dockside Inn & Suites

[Disneyhead]

Yea, really impressed with the improvements they made here compared to Surfside. Surfside is nice, but this takes it to another level

Dockside, with it's lobby bar, Starbucks, and the seating areas, doesn't feel like a "value" resort.

As I said before, I think Dockside will be the nicest "value" resort in Orlando.

Which is odd since THIS is the cheaper one. I think they learned some lessons with Surfside on what to plus.

I was just showing my wife the photos and she's amazed that this is the cheaper one. I'm giving this some serious thought over CBBR depending on pricing.

I mean CBBR has more amenities so you are paying for all those.

Lord dockside looks phenomenal especially for a value resort

Was there a design competition between Dockside and Surfside

Cause Dockside team won

 

[WaterToWade]

anyone know if they have those plant areas themed to (at the level of plants relating to) different ips like surfside?

Btw- naming the oasis drinks after wet n’ wild rides is a heartwarming homage. only got to go once as a kid but i loved it

I wonder if the parks being shut down will effect the grand opening of Dockside on Tuesday? Do they really want to open a hotel in this travel environment?

My guess is they will postpone the opening and move any reservations they have for Dockside over to Surfside.

They could definitely more them *somewhere*. I have a friend who works at the Hard Rock and theyve said that occupancy is abysmal right now so I expect it's like that pretty much across the board.

It makes one wonder how long the hotels will really be staying open, especially if the park closures get extended beyond the next 2-3 weeks.

Without Express Pass, Hard Rock seems almost pointless compared to the middle tier Universal hotels.

Edit: Out of interest, I checked how much it would cost to stay here next weekend. It's 50% more than the 4th July weekend I was looking at earlier in the year.

We have a reservation set for opening day. Nothing about any postponements or changes yet.

Inside Universal was recently invited to tour around and get a first look around Universal's newest resort, Endless Summer Resort's Dockside Inn & Suites before it opens next week.

First Look around Endless Summer Resort – Dockside Inn & Suites

Universal Orlando invited members of the media to tour around and get a first look inside Endless Summer Resort as Dockside Inn & Suites before it opens to the public. During our visit, workers were still adding the final touches around the resort, so we were not able to experience Dockside

The more I see of Dockside, the more I like it.

Seems legit.

I had that happen too but it was an airport hotel in Costa Rica so I am not surprised. No big deal once I saw the charges in MIami. I don't go to Miami
