Accommodation - Independent Guide to Universal Orlando 2015 - page 14

This deluxe resort is themed around a tropical paradise, with a stunning pool and its own
white sand beach. Relax by the pool bar, admire the stunning theming and forget about the
theme parks - this resort is the true way to be transported away from the hustle and bustle
of Orlando's theme parks.
There may only be one pool at this hotel, but it is the largest in the city of Orlando. There
is a kids' water play area here with canons instead of the usual water slide found at other
resorts. There is also a white sandy beach area. A volleyball court can also be found just
outside the pool - use of it is complimentary and a ball can be obtained from the pool towel
location.
Cabanas with a TV, complimentary bottled water and sodas, a ceiling fan and fruit are
priced starting at $100 per day. Cabana rentals can be made in person at The Gymnasium
or by calling [phone].
“Dive-In movies” are screened by the pool on select nights.
The Gymnasium features a variety of cardio, machines and free weight equipment. It is
available for $10 per day, which also includes use of the sauna and whirlpool rooms. Club
level and You First members do not pay a fee for these facilities.
One activity you might not associate with resort hotels is croquet but you can do exactly
that on the croquet lawn by the Royal Tower wing of the hotel. Complimentary balls and
mallets can be obtained from The Gymnasium.
