Our Home Away From Home: Loews Sapphire Falls

Every time we visit Orlando, Florida, we call Loews Sapphire Falls our home away from home. This resort is amongst 5 other Universal Resorts & Hotel Properties in the area and our favorite! What makes Loews Sapphire Falls so special is it's contemporary caribbean theme and tropical vibes with their orange and blue color scheme, lush palm trees and extravagant waterfall that allows you to feel as if you have escaped to an island retreat!

📍: 6601 Adventure Way, Orlando, 32819

The amenities include:

- Spacious Gym with top-line equipment and machines.

This time we stayed for our birthday week! Kristina is December 14 and Nicholle is the 15th! The hotel staff were very accommodating, friendly and joined us as we sang Happy Birthday to each other. When we ordered room service, the staff came in to set up our table as if we were dining in a restaurant.

(Double Queen bed room)

The beds are comfy with thinner covers, which makes sense with the Florida heat. There is plenty of lighting and outlets with charging ports. Also, the ihome radio/speaker is updated with the newer iphone charging port! (Finally! Someone is doing it!)

Tip: extra blankets are inside the closet!

(TV with cable, newer movies available for purchase, a mini fridge for chilling water bottles and leftover food and a keurig with Loew's brand coffee and tea.)

(Office area with additional outlets for charging and menus with room service, info about the theme parks and amenities and map of the resort.)

(single-sink vanity includes additional towers, a blow dryer and bathroom essentials such as soap, cotton balls, and more.)

(Shower with bench, tub optional for those traveling with children and accessibility)

The Loews also provides a water taxi that you can take to Universal City Walk. It's a beautiful 5 minute ride down the waterway. It's available until 2am! Or if you want to take a evening stroll, there is also a nice walking path option.

Like we said we always opt to stay at Loews Sapphire Falls when visiting Orlando, we love everything about it. Nothing beats its caribbean charm and friendly staff! 🍊☀️🎢
