The HIGHEST Rated Hotel at Universal Orlando (Sapphire Falls Resort)

[@johnniet007b]

I'll probably watch this video 100 times just for the vibe. We stayed at Sapphire our 1st two times at Universal for the last 2 November meetups. This place owns a piece of my heart. I even bought the scented candle that smells like the lobby. I smell it every day before I leave the house just to put me in a good mood for the day.

[@stevencoppola9556]

Ah the great smell

[@ThePughTwo]

You’re too sweet, John!! 🫶🏻 we love Sapphire Falls. If it included express with your stay we’d probably choose it over Hard Rock. You can also ask them about their specific scent and they’ll show you the specific scent they order and what company it’s from so you can order it for a diffuser if you want! We love the smell too lol

[@AGBDej]

Where can I also buy the candles please

[@stevencoppola9556]

@AGBDej i am sure anna and tyler know better. But i know a site called park scents sells candles. But ive heard sapphire falls etc use a spray/airfresher.

Hey Tyler and Anna so glad to have met you guys the other day(sorry for the scare). Just saying thank you for making our family’s vacation possible with all of your videos and tips. We are planning on another visit in December and we will be watching every video until then. Hello from Charlotte, NC

[@greatone33j]

I took a picture with Gru while I was in line to check in at SF. So cool.

We are staying at Sapphire Falls for the first time in May. Now we are even more excited!!!! Thanks for the review guys!

[@ThePughTwo]

That’s so exciting! Y’all are gonna love it!

[@JustOutnAbout]

Mine and Tyler's most favorite place to stay on our UO trips! We have been staying there since the year it was built and fell in love with it then! We have definitely had some of those HHN nights on the boat too with an awesome captain.

[@ThePughTwo]

We’re partial to the HR because of our wedding, but if it wasn’t for that Sapphire would probably be our favorite! It’s so pretty and so relaxing. I think with Strong Water and Amatista combined it’s the best food hotel on property!

[@lennonkoehne7061]

I love watching you guys so much! I'm constantly watching your videos everyday for the past 2 weeks trying to find the best way for me and my family to enjoy our stay at universal. Your tips seem to be very useful unlike other peoples. And plus I overall just enjoy watching you guys. Thank you so much♥️👍

We absolutely love Sapphire Falls. It's beautiful and the boat ride to the park is amazing. Great review.

[@JayJayDobro]

Ahhhhh is what we said upon entering the room there at Saphire falls...totally nice and relaxing . Also the breakfast buffet is incredible ! The water taxi is the best way to get to the parks and so much fun I wished it was a longer ride.

[@ThePughTwo]

It’s been so long since we’ve eaten at Amatista, we need to go soon! And yes! We love the water taxi lol

[@isaacsalguero9286]

My gf and I love Sapphire Falls so much, almost to the point where I selfishly want to gatekeep it. I would recommend this resort to couples who are traveling during the slower seasons for sure. The water taxi, food options, pool, even the smell alone, UGH, so good. To add to the food recommendations the Druhm Cantina has amazing Chicken Nachos and a Pork Carnitas Flatbread. Oh, and those cookies are on the room service menu, 2 with milk for $10. Amazing. This video made me so happy lol.

[@ThePughTwo]

😂😂 I feel that. It’s such a wonderful hotel that a lot of people overlook! Thank you for the food recommendations, too! We’ll have to try those!

Thank you for showcasing this beautiful hotel! I love visiting the Wizarding World, but I don't always go on enough rides to make the Premier hotels worth it. This hotel is perfect for me! It's an upscale stay, easy access with the boats, great restaurants, at a great price.

Thanks for watching!! This hotel is perfect for you, we love it!

[@floridafamilyfun1597]

My favorite part of Sapphire Falls is the pool! It has a zero entry running straight through the middle and its perfect for lounging in the shallow end! The pool bar pours some great drinks too!

[@take2-travel]

This is one of our favorite places to stay. Great review!

[@ciscoduncan1490]

First off, Anna, absolutely love the sweatshirt! This spot is probably a little bit above my pay grade. I have a pretty good spot that I go to on the iDrive that my grandson and I stay when we go down. But it looks like a beautiful spot to stay if you can swing it and I hope you had a great time. Thank you for another fantastic video.

[@ThePughTwo]

Haha thank you!! They have it at Universal! We had a bad experience our first time traveling down together staying off site, so we said never again and have only stayed at Universal’s hotels since. They used to be a lot cheaper than they are now! Lol

[@ciscoduncan1490]

@@ThePughTwo you have a point. I found a decent spot. Not too far away from icon park and good amount of spots to eat. I’m sure if you look you can find some good off property places. I do want to try Cabana Bay one time.

[@ArcticFall]

This was amazing timing. I just booked a vacation package for april and picked Sapphire Falls but was worried I should have gone with a premier resort. This made me sure I picked the right hotel, thank y'all so much! Your videos are amazing!

[@karishields3866]

Great video! We stayed in the Sapphire Suite with the lagoon-view 2 Queen Room last July and LOVED it! ❤❤❤ This summer, we are staying in the Deluxe King Room at Aventura and we are so excited! Views are incredible there and your don’t have to walk far from the elevator to your room. Such a great place too plus you still get to play at Sapphire Falls. Definitely check out a room there and ask for a high floor! 🥰

[@ThePughTwo]

That sounds like so much fun!! That’s a great point about Aventura, too. All the rooms are vertical so not much walking lol. We love staying there for the views and bar 17!

[@ParkHoppers]

The food & drinks at Strong Water Tavern look amazing! That banana bread pudding, yummm! Also, how cool is it that the characters just roam around the hotels, really elevates the whole experience!

[@Housebroken_Floridaman]

My wife and I went to Sapphire for the first time back in February. We loved it! Strong Water Tavern is the best. The singer was one of the best we've ever heard at any resort.

[@rauko1228]

last time i went to universal i stayed at sapphire falls i loved it the water taxi is fantastic. ill definitely be staying their again on my next trip!

[@ThePughTwo]

Yes!! It’s such a great hotel!

[@Floridawoman954]

This is the best hotel at universal. It blows royal pacific out of the water. They do this place and the customers an injustice not making this premiere. Literally my favorite ever, such a beautiful place and the food is amazing.

[@ThePughTwo]

We love Sapphire Falls, too!! I think there are two reasons they don’t offer express w this hotel. 1. It was built after all the premiere hotels and I don’t think they wanted to have that many rooms that included express and 2. This is also the big conference hotel, so having it at a slightly lower price point probably helps there, too. We wish it was premiere as well! I’d be our favorite.

[@gerry04401]

Dr. Suess Style! Thanks for the vid on Sapphire Falls - taking us through the dining and halls. Glad Anna's voice was back in action.... so we could hear her Tigress and King Julian passion! Face sized cookies....super yum....only surpassed by the drinks made of rum. No concierge, isn't too hip....but will this be the start of Tyler's Diet Coke Sponsorship? I've taken the water taxi before....it's a really neat ride...and never a bore!! Did we learn something new about Mrs. Anna - does she secretly have a small like for banana?! Seeing Tyler in the mirror was really the best - and it always makes us smile when he does the Slap Test!! The warm weather if FL just makes me sigh....to quote the wonderful PughTwo - thank you and "byeeee"

[@LChatmanFL]

I see what you did there... Cute.

[@kristihicks9549]

Love Sapphire Falls we visit Strongwater every time we come in. I would totally stay there the express pass prevents that every single time. But it is such a great option. ❤❤

Strong water is the best! And agreed. If it had express, it’d probably be our favorite!

[@WaterBug46]

You guys put out the best videos❤. I love Sapphire Falls. Always stay there or in Aventura 3/4 times a year. Combined they are the perfect getaway. As small and quiet as you want to bustling activity. Great vibes and food. And situated perfectly with a short walk to Volcano (no bus) and the Water taxi to City Walk. Ideal.

[@Cecile2906]

I love Sapphire Falls and the staff! Also, the lobby smells amazing.

[@stevencoppola9556]

[@ThePughTwo]

Yes!! We love it so much! We missed the Christmas cookies, we’ll have to look for that this year!

[@ChrisTarricone]

We have also stayed at all the hotels and this is my wife’s favorite. I would strongly recommend making a reservation for Strong Water and then letting your waiter/waitress choose your food items for you. I promise you will not be disappointed!!!!!

[@ThePughTwo]

Oh that’s so fun! I’m super picky about seafood, so I might have to add that constraint, but I love that idea!

We don’t just because we don’t have any personal experience about it and we try to only talk about things we personally have experienced and understand. We’re sorry we can’t be more help!

[@justinpatrick7899]

My wife and I have never been to SF (Royal Pacific is our favorite) but that food at Strong Water Tavern looked incredible. "Start the lawnmower." 🤣 Don't worry, Tyler.

Looking at Sapphire Falls for Christmas 2024. Is it worth paying more than we would for Dockside in around to avoid just depending on the bus for transportation?

I’m watching for the same reason. My family had bad experiences the last two times we stayed at dockside. I’m planning our trip in November

Great video. We're planning on coming down for Nov/Dec OI meetup. We stayed at Dockside last year. It was ok but wanted to try something a little nicer this year. Was looking at Aventura but Sapphire Falls seems like would be great. And man, those pork belly taco's sound/look incredible.

[@lancebowenjr5805]

@jasonb.ig_ern9905 That's great info. The hotel seems to have like zero theming which is disapointing..

Those are both great hotels! Aventura is a little quieter, with less of a “theme park” feel. Sapphire falls is a little nicer with more of a fun, warm feel. We enjoy both hotels!

Y’all are the best, your videos are so helpful!

[@ThePughTwo]

We’ve done a review at one of them! I think Dockside!

[@HackWeight]

When we stayed here, I also liked that taking the water taxi or walking path had its own separate security line, which was really short. If you take the busses you have to go through the main security gate at the other end. If you take the water taxi you go through security before you get onto the boat, while waiting in line. So when you get to citywalk you are already through security and can just start to do stuff.

[@TheWawayang]

So I’m a travel agent. But I havent been able to stay on site as an adult(or TA lol) And my husband and I are planning a fall trip. So hotel wise if you wanted unlimited express pass, would you still choose sapphire falls and buy EP for the two days? Or just do royal pacific? Our plan is 5 nights 2 days in universal and 2 days at Disney. But I definitely prefer universal hotels over Disney. I’d love to know your professional opinion!!!!!

Sorry, to say will not eat there again, but maybe just have a few drinks.😀😁

Can we get a HHN update or speculation video? So excited!!!

[@ThePughTwo]

Once Universal starts announcing stuff we’ll start talking about it!

[@Trisc18]

We love Sapphire Falls. Amatista’s food and drinks are some of our favorites at the resort.

[@ThePughTwo]

We haven’t eaten at Amatista’s in YEARS. We need to go back soon!

[@jago668]

I booked this hotel because I am doing the VIP tour. Which if you stay longer than the tour lasts gives you the express pass. Plus it has the largest pool. So after spending most of the day at the parks, we can come back and chill at the pool.

My solid #2 (cause nothing beats the Hard Rock!)

[@ThePughTwo]

We agree 😁😁

[@heatherdobbins5237]

I agree!!

[@DesireeV1002]

This hotel is a yearly tradition for our family's visit to HHN! We absolutely adore the upgraded hotel experience, and the pool in particular is fabulous at Sapphire. The bathrooms cannot be more highly spoken of as well. Plus, when you don't need the UEU, Sapphire is the best option for an amazing price.

Food Looks Lovely

[@ThePughTwo]

It was so good!!

[@phleeeeeee123]

Are you able to take the water taxi's if you stay at cabanna bay? Can you use the pools at each universal hotel?

[@bambikiller338]

That food looked super super awesome. Oh and i am a cream soda dr pepper kind of fella. they make a diet version you should try it.

[@ThePughTwo]

Oh we have! lol we’re all in on all the DDP flavors. Zero is our favorite, though!

[@susanmeredith4957]

Love Sapphire ❤ got AP rate for August at $197ish for lagoon view. Miss express pass so doing a split stay, a week at Sapphire and a week at Portofino.

[@lashaysmith7783]

Just booked our last three days of our trip at Sapphire Falls 😁....oooo I'm so excited lol! The room is decorated so nicely (I wish there was a microwave because sometimes I nibble on leftovers but I'll get over it lol). I can't wait to experience Strong Water and the water taxi; main two reasons I've been wanting to stay there!!! The pool is a bonus because Laila loves water...that's a whole day event right there (pray for me). I also like sweet, fruity drinks Anna (sometimes I get besides myself and try to adventure into the unknown but it's safer to stick with fruity lol)!

[@thedalystreamer5966]

when i checked in for my trip recently, king julian was just standing in the lobby, very unexpected

[@ThePughTwo]

That’s so fun, we love it!!

[@splotchinianmasterakastaci7083]

Your outfit is super cute !!! I love it !!!

[@samscaggs2270]

Love RP, but SF is our fave. Just cross the street and we go to Orchid Court. And it's quicker to use their water taxi sometime since other 2 hotels use SF taxi. We'll be there 17th for a week, hope to run into you guys in the park!

[@ThePughTwo]

Haha that’s funny, we never thought about using the RP water taxi. Orchid Court is a great restaurant too! So many good ones to choose from all within walking distance!

[@shereenwallace7790]

Cannot wait to stay there!!!

[@ThePughTwo]

You’re gonna love it!!

[@KdyanaC]

This is my absolute favorite hotel! I just wish that they would offer express pass after a certain time for this hotel!

[@ThePughTwo]

Haha right?? That’d be perfect!

[@scottdevine8154]

My last stay at Dockside, they had a minnion waliking around for pictures

[@stevencoppola9556]

I like how Tyler stalked the mattresses in the room at the start.....he better slap em..lol

[@ThadiusWatchmore]

Great video thank you

[@CoastersandPop]

Really want to stay at this hotel and thanks for the tour. We often get good package deals from the UK for this hotel and cabana bay

[@davidarturoroa3719]

Hello, a question, we are going to stay for just one day at the Sapphire Falls hotel on March 23 and on the 22nd we have a reservation at the hard rock hotel to move to the hard rock hotel. Can I go on the bus that they have?

[@davidarturoroa3719]

@jasonb.ig_ern9905 Maybe I didn't understand, I'm going to be staying at the Sapphire Falls and the next day I'll go to the Hard Rock, they're the same Universal hotels, there aren't the same buses that take you there.

[@ThePughTwo]

You can! The bus will take you to CityWalk and then you’ll get on another bus to the Hard Rock. Luggage services might move your bags to HR for you, though! They did this pre-Covid and I’m not sure if it’s 100% back or not, but it’s worth asking! You can also Uber/Lyft for $10 or less.
