AVENTURA HOTEL INFO.......

Just booked one night here in a Skyline View for 2A and 2 kids (14 & 16). We've never stayed here so hopefully will enjoy it. We move to RPR for the next night. So far it sounds like we'll like the rooms and the food.
 
Just had another 9 night stay at Aventura.

Overall they have really improved since opening.
Housekeeping seems to have everything sorted.
The food court also seems to have fixed it's issues.
Sf and RPR are a very short walk away - so you get access to all of that.
My only issue is I wish they had an option to add length of stay express pass.

The biggest issue IMO is still the bar on the roof still seems very lifeless and dull - the staff doesn't really seem like they want to be there.
in talking to the other bartenders around the various resorts and city walk - they all agree that this bar has been a huge disappointment.
One complaint is they have not done a great job advertising it.
I actually preferred the bar in the lobby and the pool area and the staff there was much better.
 
Just returned from a stay at Aventura. It was great. We had a room on the 9th floor facing west. Were able to see the fireworks at Disney each night. Overlooked the volcano at Volcano Bay. Check in was efficient and we were able to get into our room early. Walked over to SF and were able to take the water taxi to the park each day. Much quicker than taking the bus and going through security at the park.

Housekeeping in the room was very good. They cleaned the floors each day. Lots of towels and toiletries.

Over all I couldn't have been more pleased with our stay.

Glad you had a nice time…….I don't think they`ll ever add a length of stay EP for the cheaper hotels....…

I agree with you on the rooftop bar......we may have another wander up this coming stay just for pics really, we didn't enjoy our visit very much.....the food and beverage manager asked why we thought the way we did and we said, we honestly didn't know....it just lacked something.

Thanks for posting back..….

I`m happy to see you had a lovely stay at Aventura.....people who stay there do seem to enjoy it overall......:)
 
We (my teen kiddos and I) have a visit coming up late next week to Aventura / UO. Haven't been to UO in just over 20 years, so it's going to be like new for me (kiddos have never been). We are taking a WDW break having gone there the last 3. The last time I was at UO, Jaws (RIP) was one of the most popular rides.

Welcome to the Dark Side 😁

You are in for such a treat after not having been for so many years!

Hope you all have a blast and let us know how you got on.....
 
Looking at booking a few nights here for our 10th wedding Anniversary trip next year, what are the views like in the standard rooms please? Trying to decide whether to go for a deluxe room or just stick with standard. We have APs so are also hoping for some nice rates coming out between now and then.

We're at WDW for the rest of our trip and our actual anniversary so these nights aren't the main splurge, just want somewhere nice, not '10th wedding anniversary' nice if that makes sense.

Thank you :)
 
Just spent another 10 nights at Aventura - still the best value on property IMO as long as you dont need express pass.

One thing to mention is the water shuttle - I think too many people from Aventura and even CB are taking advantage of it - it was always busy heading over and very busy coming back. I found it best to take the boat to Universal (if its too busy walk over to the RPR boat) and then get the bus back - the only time a bus was not waiting was mid afternoon - at night there were usually two buses one loading and one to replace it once it left. Once a bus was 90% filled it went - so really no need to stand unless you were not willing to wait for the next one to fill.

Thanks for the boat/bus info,, we are staying 9 nights later this month. Does the return bus drop at CBBR before Aventura? I thought I read this somewhere before :scratchin

Yes it does stop at CBBR - and usually 80% off the bus gets off their
 
Is there a map of the Hotel and where located? Saw the cartoon looking one that Universal has but thought there might be a better one somewhere???
 
Stayed at Adventura last week and I ended up really liking it! The lobby is definitely nothing special, but the rooms are quite nice and staff is great! Stayed in a deluxe queen with my friend and it was so nice to have our own little space instead of the beds being shoved next to each other with just a night table in-between Loved the layout. Room was extremely clean. Elevators fast and efficient which is important when you’re on the 12th floor. We even enjoyed a couple of drinks on the rooftop which actually was quite busy and had a hipster vibe. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat if the price is right and it’s the off season (due to no express). Although who am I kidding. Already booked a return for a short stay in March because I plan on doing just a bit of park and can use single rider when I do.
 
I am getting pretty annoyed with the "will my Disney resort be open" waiting game. Thinking of crossing to the dark side and was watching some Aventura YouTube videos. Our dates would be July 5 - 8 (Sunday - Wednesday) for a little mini trip. Any predictions how much problem it would be not to have the Express Pass? I know that question would have very speculative answers with the current situation. But I am just wondering.

The last time I was at Universal was quite a few years ago before the "value" resorts were open. We stayed at Hard Rock and the parks were really crowded. I think it was over Christmas break. Maybe that explained the super big crowds. Hard Rock is $500 a night for my July dates. I don't want to spend that much because I am going to hang on to my August Disney Yacht Club reservation and hope it opens. I am itching to get away and the Aventura seems like a good choice. Any advice/thoughts are appreciated.
 
I have been trying to remember how checkout day works at Universal. As I understand it, the parking fee covers a parking spot through midnight on checkout day. What do people typically do with their luggage before going to the parks on that day? Will bell services hold it until I return in the evening? I will be at Aventura this August and would like to know what alternative, if any, I might have to just putting the luggage back in the car while I'm at the parks all day.
