So which Universal Orlando hotel are you MOST interested in?

[@penelopepitstop7625]

Portofino Bay 😍

[@mtndewguy9961]

I guess The Endless summer resorts for the price.

Well, ALL of them now! Great video- super informative, pro caliber w/personality! Well done 👍 Stayed at several, but still learned stuff I didn't know-

[@treasures_untold_vlogs]

Nicole’s is Portofino Bay and Cabana Bay as a close second… mine is also Royal Pacific!!! (Haven’t stayed at Hard Rock yet tho…)

[@alyross3081]

I walk from Aventura to Universal all the time. I love the palm tree path, and that walk is one of my favorite things all trip. No kidding.

[@limitedtimeonthecouch]

About how many minutes is the walk?

[@loriminard6460]

Another great video 🎉Very informative for new travelers to the area 🎉

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Thank you so much Lori!

Happy New Year KP! Awesome video by the way!

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Happy new year!

[@philiptrapper6646]

Awesome video. I agree Surfside and Dockside are to me the best places to stay. The money I save allows me to spend more on other places and dining at more restaurants. Only 3 more weeks until I’m back at Dockside.

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Totally agree, have a great trip!

[@dansmith6358]

Thanks for the helpful video!

Great Video Krystal! You put a lot of work into this one and it shows! Although, Sapphire Falls is not to be slept on!😂

[@penelopepitstop7625]

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Hopefully I can stay at all these Hotels in the future. Thank you for the vlog Krystal.

[@TheKrystalPalace]

I hope so too!

[@1pt21gw]

Exactly the video I needed to help make my decision. Ty

[@oldtimefreedom]

We just returned tonight from 2 nights at Cabana Bay and 5 nights at Royal Pacific both were great but having that Express Pass was sweet especially with New Years Crowds…

[@jimmiller82]

I see you travel a bit. New subscriber. Next summer you should do a trip to Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH. I’d love to see a video done there!

[@Ryan-ts9pi]

I go with my madre and her madre for new years every year. We do Disney for Christmas. Portofino Bay is my favorite. We did stay at Royal Pacific a couple of years ago one year but I guess I a so used to Portofino Bay.

[@TSVisits]

Very helpful. Thanks!

[@Afineaddition]

Great vid to open 2024! I love the Universal Resort hotels so much

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Thank you!!

[@kevingreen5793]

Happy New Year Krystal! Hope you have a great 2024 just like 2023!

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Happy New Year!!

[@kevingreen5793]

@@TheKrystalPalace right back at you! Btw sorry about your Lions in their last game against the Cowboys. Should’ve won that game but of course got screwed by the refs!

[@johnmendez47]

A great way to start the NEW YEAR with another AWESOME Vid! Thanks for all your content in 2023 and looking forward to all your vids in 2024. Always Informative, Always Professional and ALWAYS fun to watch! Stay Beautiful, Stay Healthy, Stay Busy!!! Cheers!

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Thank you so much!

[@lordwilder7724]

Royal pacific is my favorite too. With my annual pass it was 242, an amazing deal. I like it because at the end of a long day i get my last snack at CityWalk and when i get to my room to eat it's still fresh

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Yess that annual pass price is amazing!

[@SarahUOR]

Such an excellent overview, KP! You really can’t go wrong staying on property at Universal, it’s just all about your priorities! Especially loved the tip about checking to see if your rate has gone down after booking - I’ve saved crazy $$ doing that a few times!

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Yesss! It's really great how they accomidate the price change

[@Ezzyen]

I recently stayed at royal pacific and the room was a good size and the beds were huge. Express passes really made our holiday. I really appreciated the tips from your channel, helped a lot in planning our Orlando vacation from Australia. Happy New Year! 🎉

[@TheKrystalPalace]

So glad they were helpful! Glad you had a great time!

[@mtndewguy9961]

Thanks for doing my Homework again Krystal Palace

[@TheKrystalPalace]

You got it!!

[@zoomers6747]

Really enjoyed this informative video style Krystal. You continue to show off your versatility as a vlogger and can truly do it all from having good hearted fun and laughs to giving us the most knowledgeable tips! 🎉

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Thank you so much!!

[@DarkSoulja3323]

Krystal which hotels offer breakfast for early morning?

[@JustOutnAbout]

Our favorite is Sapphire falls..lagoon view room!! But same as you, not one thing wrong with any of them!! Great coverage!

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Can't beat the views at Sapphire!

[@nomovingparts3371]

I’ve stayed at a few of the Universal Resorts and tbh, I end up at Endless Summer 90% of the time.. I think the biggest benefit of Endless Summer that doesn’t get enough attention is that you can walk to so many places that are located right by the property (having a Walgreens right across the street is huge). Plus they just opened a new Arcade Monsters location that was a 5 minute walk from Surfside (I’m a Pinball nerd) which was a fantastic way to spend the evening after the parks. Thanks for a great video!

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Agreed! It's really such a great value

[@garouthetiktokinfluencerhu9731]

Weird question but do you know if they carried any meat at that Walgreens?

[@karil6461]

​@garouthetiktokinfluencerhu9731 most walgreens have breafast meat and deli

[@JeremyEarsalert]

Thank You.

[@LChatmanFL]

Nice video.

[@danjames4606]

Thank you for the informative video. I'm form the UK, and for the first time im looking at the universal hotels over a villa. I know you get the express passes for the premium hotels, but do you need to buy the actual park passes on top of that too? TIA

[@greatone33j]

Had the best massage of my life at the Mandara Spa..

Dude…this is how you content create holy moly. I know how hard something like this is to make

🙏 took me a whole day😭 thank you Tom!!🐐

[@BIO233]

Is there transportation feom the airport to the hotels?

[@mamanothing9506]

We have stayed at all three premier hotels with Hard Rock being our fav. If staying at one of the three you get "free" express passes for the parks. One big suggestion, and glad we did this year, is to book private transport from and back to airport. If you get transport thru Universal packages and if you are staying at one of the three premier hotels, it will take an hour or more to get to one of these hotels as all the Universal offsite hotel guests are dropped off first. This makes it longer for your trip to start. Also private transport back to airport is faster and believe me, less stressing as its just your own party going straight to airport with no pick ups at other hotels (and no having to wait for those guests that don't have good time management for pick up!). Blessings!

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Yes, totally agree

[@harrynolan6946]

Cabana bay blew me away

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Thats great!

[@timandkt]

Love this video…and I can tell that a _ton_ of work went into it, too! 😍 So far we’ve stayed at both prime value resorts, the preferred resort and one premier resort…and of the assortment, I think our favorite was definitely the preferred stay at Sapphire Falls! Aventura had some good eats, but ultimately Sapphire is the only resort that has all the bells and whistles at a reasonable price point…plus, water taxi! 10/10 would stay again, and in point of fact have a hard time not staying there every time. 😂 Still, this is really great info for us - especially as we look into staying at some of the premier resorts in the future! Like you, we hope to one day have a stay at every resort on property. Thanks for sharing, KP! ✨

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

What a comprehensive video- we still haven't stayed at Hard Rock & Aventura. Portofino is our fave and Cabana Bay is just such a special place! That dog is so cute ;) We were actually able to leave Frank unattended in the room- they give you a door hanger that indicates to Housekeeping that their is an animal present. I think the $10 p/h unattended fee only applies if the dog is barking excessively and has to be removed from the room and they can't reach you.

[@zooderloopers]

ngl- i had no idea it was possible to stay there for $60 a night?!?!?!?

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Hard to find but those passholder rates sometimes can be insane

[@KourttneyL]

I stayed at Lowell’s Royal Pacific for my birthday last year and I LOVED IT!!! I mostly love the short WALK to the theme park! its so beautiful! We went back for a nap from the sun 😂. The hotel is so awesome and safari LIKE!! I am forever spending the extra $$ to stay at a premier hotel! (Bonus points for the fast passes when you stay!!)

[@common91941]

Adventura has the least amount of kids

[@jasmine-rose18]

The endless summer beds are so uncomfortable 😭😭😭 I stayed for 7 nights and after night 3 I was ready to cry
