The layout of the queen deluxe room was great. Each bed had a nightstand on each side of the bed, which is very unusual, but I’m loving it. There’s no carpet in the rooms, which is a huge plus! The hotel is smaller than the others and therefore was easier to get around, and no waiting forever for an elevator. Food at Urban Pantry was excellent! The rooftop bar was so much fun, and the staff/servers were great. This is our new favorite Universal hotel. We do several “staycations” a year at Universal and this resort was quiet and clean.

We visit Universal quiet often and have stayed at all of the hotels on property. Aventura is a nice lower cost option. We've found this location to be more adult oriented compared to Cabana Bay or Dockside/Endless. This past trip was a birthday trip for myself. Unpon arrival I got a pin, signed birthday card and two free drink vouchers for the bar. This was a really nice touch IMO, totally unexpected. Staff has always been excellent. Rooms a a good size and comfortable for your basic needs. Another benefit of this location is the must try roof top bar!

Simple, no frills but nice hotel. Definitely in the 3 star category. That said, everything was clean including the room and the pool. Pool was actually very nice. The rooftop bar is pretty nice too. Prices for the drinks were outlandish. Two margaritas and tip cost me over $50. It was a very quiet hotel which some folks might like. But it was almost too quiet. All in all, not bad but don't think I'll come back.

We stayed at this resort to go to the Universal Parks. We did not have kids with us, and we thought that Aventura resort was perfect for that since it doesn't have much character theming but has a very nice rooftop bar with a great view of Orlando. The pool area was very nice and not crowded. We could walk to the water taxi as well as get the bus to the theme parks. We also walk to City Walk in 15 minutes.
The staff were all wonderful and the resort is very clean. Would definitely recommend staying here!

I've stayed at this hotel twice, and had a great experience both times. The only issue was that the bathroom door didn't lock, and the tablet did not control the lights as advertised. Minor inconveniences only. The room was clean, staff was friendly and helpful. Having a Starbucks in the lobby was great for morning coffee. The location is perfect, and transportation to the parks is simple and quick. The bar at the top has great views and drinks, but the food choices are limited and all Korean inspired. Food is well cooked and tastes great, just not many options.
