Universal Orlando - Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites - FULL TOUR and Pros & Cons

[@disinfinity]

Wonderful tour. We actually stayed in the Surfside Inn recently. Fantastic value for what you get. Enjoyed following along.

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Thank you so much for watching!! 😊

[@CeritaFandaVancouver]

So nice to sleep in a large bedroom like that so we can be together with our family during the holiday. I also love hotels with two swimming pools so we can choose the one that is not too crowded. Great review, loved the tour and watched in full. Warm regards!

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

The space was so nice! Thank you so much for watching, we really appreciate it! 😊💕

[@RoadiewithRich]

We stayed there last month! We did Halloween Horror Nights and yes the place was extremely busy but overall we enjoyed our stay. Nice review!

[@DestinationEarth]

The resort is amazing! You can tell it’s a newer building - everything looks nice and fresh. Very comprehensive review. People will find this very helpful.

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

A great budget friendly option for staying onsite! 😊 Thanks so much for watching!!

[@NewHorizonsTravel]

Hi Meg and Greg! The resorts are renowned for their stunning designs and captivating themes, with rooms, restaurants, and pool areas looking exquisite even though I haven't yet stayed there. Thank you for sharing my friend❤

Sorry for the delay. Been traveling non-stop, back-to-back trips for a while, but it really ramped up for Fall and holiday seasons. OTW to Chicago at the time I'm writing this comment. Endless Summer is a pretty nice option for hotels in Orlando. We rarely stayed onsite during our trips. The only that we ever did was Endless Summer, but I think it was the other hotel. I really liked the Starbucks egg bites, and the pizza at the Pier 8 Market. Orlando is loaded with amazing restaurants, so we rarely eat at the hotel, but I do remember getting those 2 items. This is a great hotel for the price. Excellent video, and great job setting very accurate expectations.

[@dayadventureswithgasper]

Absolutely stunning tours. I haven't had the chance to stay at these resorts yet, but their breathtaking designs and themes are truly captivating. The rooms, restaurants, and pool areas look exquisite, not to mention the lovely landscapes and efficient transportation options. Thank you for sharing these incredible views and insights. Fantastic reviews, Meg and Greg.

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Thanks so much for watching, we really appreciate it! 😊

[@TheMouseandMore]

Nice big value resort. With those prices I can see why this resort is so busy. Looks nice and clean and well thought out. Pool area is beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing your experience of this resort. We enjoyed watching from beginning to end and a big thumbs up from us👍🏻

[@jesshavinfun3547]

Hey Meg and Greg, this is an excellent tour of Dockside! We've stayed there a few times and are so impressed with the value! We've also stayed at Surfside, man do I have alot of videos to edit, lol. I agree on the Lobby being crowded, everyone wants that deal, lol. Have a Great weekend 😊.

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Definitely crowded but such a great price haha! Thanks so much for watching, we really appreciate it! 😊💕

[@DADDIO1969]

We've yet to stay at any Universal resort, but always hear wonderful things, especially for the value. The lobby and the entire resort is definitely huge! The 2 bedroom suite looks very comfortable. Greg looked extremely comfortable on the bed!😂 The pool looks wonderful. That's always a plus for us. 👍 I'm surprised there isn't a mobile check in. Especially for how busy it gets. The transportation is definitely a plus, too. When we stayed at All Star resorts at Disney when the kids were little, those buses were very handy. Another excellent tour and review! And we always appreciate all the details. You've confirmed all the great things we've heard about Universal Resorts and this is actually the first time seeing all the details as well. Thank you so much for this, Meg! It was completely enjoyable!

[@HereToCheers]

Wow, that room is perfect for families! Lots of space and privacy. That pool area looks so relaxing! Love that beachy vibe with the sand by the pool. 🌞🏖 Who needs a beach vacation when you’ve got sand right by the pool at Dockside! It’s awesome that Dockside offers such efficient bus transportation, especially for families trying to maximize their park time! Great tip about getting coffee at the Pier 8 Market if Starbucks is too busy. It's little details like that that make vacation smoother! Thank you for such an honest and detailed review. The room size and price really do make this a great option for families. 💙

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Fantastic size for families! The pop is a lovely area. Thank you so much for watching! 😊💕

[@korean_foot_traveler8655]

What a wonderful place.❤

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Thanks for watching!

[@trvlnthru]

We have stayed at several Universal resorts - but have not stayed at Dockside Inn and Suites - or Surfside either. We love Universal resorts though. And the price at this budget friendly resort is better than the price at the Disney "Value" resorts. This resort looks great. Well worth the price. Thanks for showing us what this resort is like!

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

I definitely would love to check out the other Universal resorts! Thanks so much for watching, we really appreciate it! 😊💕

[@chilleats7024]

A great place to consider for a budget-friendly option! Your review gave me everything I would want to know about staying here. Crowded at times but timing is everything 🎉🎉It looks nice and bright. I like the refillable cups. Sand at the pool! 🏊 Sweet place! 👍💯💯

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

It’s definitely a great budget friendly spot for sure! Thanks so much for watching, we really appreciate it! 😊💕

[@PrimeTimeTravelers]

Awesome tour of this resort. We have never stayed at a Universal Resort. Maybe we need a staycation someday here! Looks like a good time and close to home! Another great video as you two always do!

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Thank you so much for watching! Definitely a good price point for this one 😊

[@MollyFitzBrown]

Nice looking resort, love the beach theming! I've always wanted to stop in here to see the place but never have! Thanks for the look around Meg, great review!

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Thank you so much for watching! 😊💕

[@edandveddastravels3251]

I forget that Orlando is just a busy as Vegas, if not more. The Resort looked nice. I also enjoy your detailed reviews and tours. Safe travels! 👍🏼👍🏼😍😍

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

So busy! Haha! Thanks so much for watching! 😊

[@SpeedTherapy407]

Loved the tour! Dockside is a great bang for the buck. I agree it is a super busy resort. When we stayed my only complaint was I felt it was a noisy resort; however it seem to be the neighboring rooms with louder guests. I also agree the quick service is very efficient. We enjoyed the breakfast and there was plenty of seating. Thank you for showing us the tour of your suite. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Yes it’s soooo busy! Such a great spot for families and nice spacious rooms, but wowza that was a busy one 🤣 thanks so much for watching, we really appreciate it!!

[@denisesorchidparadise1411]

Thank you for that great tour, it looked like a nice room with everything you need, I bet you had a wonderful time, So much to do there!

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

[@HerDestiny]

An amazing Endless Summer Resort in Orlando. Lots of great foods to try. Nice accommodations and shops. A huge Market. A very nice suite with kitchenette and mini fridge. Very nice pool areas. 🏊‍♂️ 🌴 A grand tour. 😊❤️✨

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Thank you so much for watching! 😊💕

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Cool resort 😃👍

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@TastesLikeDisney]

The only Universal Resort that we’ve stayed at is Cabana Bay. This place looks incredible! The fact that the pool has sand is enough for me!🏝️ It does look crazy busy. I would not like that!! My wife is not a Universal fan so we almost never go there.🤣 Thanks for the video! You are so good at these reviews!!👏

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

I would love to stay at Cabana bay someday! The theming looks fun lol. The crazy busy felt like a lot sometimes 🤣 thanks so much for watching, we really appreciate it! 😊💕

[@TastesLikeDisney]

@@TheAdventuresofMegGreg Cabana Bay was great! Really cool theming!🏝️

[@The_Brit_Girls]

Hi Meg & Greg! What an extensive and exciting resort! You guys live the best life! 🤗🤗 The family room looked nice and spacious, and had privacy too. Oh wow, that "beach area" looked so cool! 🏖 Ooh, those lines at check-in were so long, ugh! It was great that this resort was more affordable than a lot of others. Very important when booking a family vacation. Thanks for the great tour and your honest review ❤❤

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Thank you so much for watching! 😊💕

[@earsandideas7266]

We love staying on Universal for a night or two in the resorts that give you the front of line access. But Endless Summer looks like a great option if you want good value and are not so much bother about front of line, especially if you are travelling out of the busy seasons. Their quickserve food options look awesome. Refillabel cups at the Universal resorts is a new thing since we last stayed. Although we would never stay there log enough to benefit. Your room was really cute and quite spacious.

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Some great perks to stay onsite for sure!! Thanks so much for watching Nettie, we really appreciate it! 😊💕

[@mollypurcellmealprep]

love the tour! You guys have the best adventures!

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Thank you so much for watching! 😊💕

[@SantosChronicles]

Oh Universal! That is my favorite theme park. But we have never stayed onsite. We are budget type of family so this totally something we might do next time we go. This place has everything you need and I would totally get that drink cup. This room is so cute. Our little one would love the pool and arcade. Ok, you convinced me. Will have to check this out.

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

It’s a fun spot! Just very busy haha! But I get why 100%! Thank you so much for watching! 😊💕

[@MagicalCreationsDisneyArt]

Great honest review. The resort is enormous, price is right but like you mentioned seems very busy with people. Thank for another wonderful share. 😍

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Thank you so much for watching!! 😊

[@joannsalas]

Wow, what a huge resort! Great tour as always Meg! It looks like it was worth it for family stays. I will have to keep it in mind if we ever decide to visit Universal. Thank you for sharing Meg!

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Thank you so much for watching! 😊💕

[@TravelswithVandSteve]

We are thinking of trying one of these resorts next time we visit. The Dockside looks so nice, the theming is so well done. Love the Starbucks and the Universal store, I can't resist either. I didn't know Universal hotels had any refillable mugs. The rooms look so cute and have everything we would need. I do hate waiting so long for check in but the price helps, but we don't have a bigger party so maybe somewhere else would be better. Great review!

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Definitely a busy one but a great option with lots of great perks!! Thank you so much for watching! 😊

[@AdventuresAreOutThere]

Nice resort, it did sounds busy, we have stayed at a few Universal ones like Loews Royal Pacific and Portifino, and they werent that busy so I can understand what your saying :) Great review Meg and GReg!

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

I would love to stay at the others someday too! Thanks so much for watching, we really appreciate it! 😊💕

[@paulgenasadventures7545]

[@AltoonaYourPiano]

Awesome place you visited, endless summer does sound like what a lot of Florida is like although I know sometimes winter sneaks down there

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Thank you so much for watching! 😊💕

[@AdventureswithDanTracie]

Cool video! We've never stayed at a Universal resort. Usually we stay at a Wyndham timeshare or a Disney resort. Not bad for a budget resort, especially considering that most people staying there will spend much of their day at the parks.

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Thank you so much for watching! 😊💕

[@SimpleTastyFood2024]

I really like this video; we're actually thinking about going to Universal with my sons sometime next year. Such a nice tour and resort,👍! The pool area is beautiful and I would be enjoying myself and chilling there. I actually like seeing the young families having fun and would enjoy staying here very much, TFS with us ☺.

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

It’s such a lovely pool! Thank you so much for watching! 😊💕

[@anandaargonosocruztravelvl9633]

It's been awhile since the last time I went to Universal Orlando. I do have great memories of this resort. Had so much fun 🥰 Thank you for bringing me back there snd for the useful infos my friend. Warm greetings from 👋🇮🇹🇨🇭👋💕🥰👋

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@moorelifeandtravel]

It does seem humongous! With that many rooms and with rooms that fit six, I can see why it would be crowded. A lot of great information on the resort. It's nice to know what you're getting before you stay and you've really provided all anyone would need to know. Awesome tour and info, like 47, thanks for sharing!

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Definitely crowded!! Thank you so much for watching! 😊💕

[@OthmarsVlog]

awesome . . . well done 👍🙏💪

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Thanks for watching!

[@ACinderellaWish]

We do not stay at the resorts in this location but this one looks ok if you do not mind a busy place to rest. Thanks for showing us around.

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Thank you so much for watching! 😊💕

[@ALifeintheParks]

Great tour, the hotel looks awesome and I love the theming but I’m not sure it would be right for me. Much like All-Stars at WDW this seems far too wild!!

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Yes definitely a wild ride staying at these values LOL! Thanks so much for watching! 😊💕

[@timandkt]

I've heard _mostly_ good things about the Endless summer resorts, especially with regard to cost/value. Love that there are so many onsite amenities, and the pools look great and exceptionally spacious! Not surprised to hear that check-in and crowd levels were your primary drawbacks; we had similar experiences with Cabana Bay just down the road. The lower the cost, the larger the demand! What was your take on the thinner walls? That's another con that we've been hearing about from a number of Orlando-area locals that have stayed onsite. Overall, though, it seems like a great resort and a great option for a budget stay closer to the parks! Thanks for sharing, you guys! ✨

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

The cost is definitely in demand and I get it!! We personally had no issues with the thinner walls and we were shocked. I think we clearly lucked out because the overall resort was a zoo lol. We were expecting to have a lot of noise coming from the halls and other rooms but for us it didn’t happen but I can one million percent see how it would staying at this resort lol! Thanks so much for watching, we really appreciate it! 😊💕

[@01071962jh]

Early park entry is another perk of staying at Dockside!

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Another great perk!! Thanks so much for watching! 😊

[@PurposelyReRouted]

I think Dockside is a great bang for the buck. We couldn’t sleep well when we stayed one night because of loud guest but overall we may try it again one of these days. We did enjoy the breakfast and the drinks we got in the lounge area before our HHN outing that year 😊❤.

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

I completely believe you about the loud guests because this hotel was CRAZY busy! I’ve stayed at Disney values before too and for some reason I found this one way more intense hahaha! Thanks so much for watching, we really appreciate it! 😊💕

[@StanligFilms]

fun place

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Thank you so much for watching! 😊💕

[@AlphaTraveler1]

Imagine Disney's Value Hotels look like this? HAHA. Universal hotels are making Disney Hotels look like MOTELS! This hotel looks quite amazing. LIKE 25. 👍👍👍

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

lol you are so right 🤣 thanks for watching!! 😊💕

[@JNTravels]

We are looking into buying a Universal Annual Pass for this coming Winter. Do you know if they rent rooms long term at a discount?🐸

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

I can’t find any information about longer stays sadly but I would definitely be interested if they do! The rooms were a great size!! Thanks so much for watching, we really appreciate it! 😊💕

[@GENerationXplorers]

Hi King, Queen and Prince to be 🩵 hope you are all doing well! This is a fabulous review full of great info for anyone thinking of doing fabulous Universal Studios! It sure does look popular and they need to change their check in system! Would love to know what you paid per night? The price sounds like it fits what’s on offer but those suites are huge! Have a great weekend ❤

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Thank you so much for watching, we really appreciate it!! We paid less than $200 per night for a room that sleeps 6, and at a theme park that was a great deal haha!!
