Universal Hotel & Orlando Villa Multi & Twin Centre Holidays

The best time to visit Orlando rests on a few things, including what you plan on doing and the weather you most desire. Florida has a humid subtropical climate, so expect sun and warmth practically all year round (its nickname of the Sunshine State says it all!). 

The summer months are particularly hot, with temperatures reaching over 30°C. However, autumn and winter months are much milder with temperatures averaging in the low to mid-twenties. Also be aware of the hurricane season which runs from June to November, when you can expect sporadic showers and heavy downpours.

The Universal Resort has crowds all throughout the year, so there’s no real time to avoid queues (however Spring Break and summer are the periods that get particularly crowded). Universal also holds seasonal events including Spring’s vibrant Mardi Gras festivities and December’s Christmas events when you can catch the beloved Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular show. Halloween Horror Nights is another seasonal highlight, bringing the scream factor with its selection of scare zones and horror mazes based on the biggest TV and film franchises (Stranger Things, The Exorcist, The Walking Dead, to name just a few).

When it comes to flying into Orlando, Orlando International Airport (also known as MCO) is usually the top choice. This airport is the largest in the city and it's conveniently located only 6 miles from Orlando’s main theme park district.

Universal is home to eight incredible hotels and resorts, with 9,000+ rooms in total! The accommodation options are also split into four categories based on quality and guest perks: Premier, Preferred, Prime Value, and Value.

Choosing the best Universal hotel depends on your personal preferences and who you’re travelling with. After all, the best option for families may differ from couples looking for peace and quiet. For example, families with small children can make the most of the Hard Rock Hotel’s 12,000 sq ft pool (with an underwater sound system!), while couples might feel more settled at a quieter resort like the picturesque Loews Portofino Bay Hotel.

The top Premier options include the tropical southseas paradise of the Loews Royal Pacific Resort where you’ll sleep in elegant suites overlooking the resort’s sparkling lagoon-style pool and white sandy beach. And for a more wallet-friendly pick, you can opt for Universal’s modern and stylish Aventura Hotel or the family-orientated Endless Summer Resort where everything feels laid-back and fun with its poolside activities and games room.

Plenty! As a guest of Universal, multi-centre holidays to a Universal hotel and an Orlando villa come with all sorts of exclusive benefits to make every moment count during your stay.

All of the hotels are just a short water taxi or shuttle bus journey away from the main attractions including Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Volcano Bay and more — plus the transport is completely complementary too. 

Other perks include things like early morning theme park access, priority restaurant seating, carry-free merchandise delivery to your hotel (so you don’t have to lug gifts and souvenirs around all day), and even unlimited queue-skipping ride access (for Premier hotel guests only). 

Think of Orlando's villa resorts like their own exclusive neighbourhoods, each packed with a bunch of on-site amenities and a selection of homes ready to accommodate small and large families (anywhere between four and 30+ guests). Just like choosing a hotel, finding the perfect resort boils down to what floats your boat and what key features are most important (ie. if the resort has a communal pool or whether there’s fun stuff to keep kids entertained). 

Check out Reunion Resort for its selection of 10 communal pools and three championship golf courses. Or if you’re after sports facilities and an 18-acre amenity complex, Solara Resort is one of the best. For tranquil lakeside views, Storey Lake is a top pick. Or if you want close proximity, check out the condos of Vista Cay located on Universal Boulevard just minutes from Universal Resort.

Whilst Universal hotels offer free transport to the parks and keep you in the fun Universal bubble, villas on the other hand are all about giving you more space, privacy, and freedom. 

A villa invites you to kick back in your own personal space and settle in as though it’s your cosy home-away-from-home. And the best part? Villas tend to be less bank-breaking too, with plenty of more affordable options out there for luxury five-star homes.

In reality, there are pros to both staying at a Disney hotel and settling into a private villa, which is why we're all about twin-centre holidays! It's the best of both worlds — a total win-win.

The Universal resort is home to two incredible theme parks (Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure), one fun-filled water park (Volcano Bay), and a soon-to-be-open third theme park dubbed Universal’s Epic Universe (the grand opening is expected for 2025!). 

Rest assured there’s something for all types of theme park-goers across its attractions. Whilst thrill-seekers take their seat on the action-packed Velicoaster full of launches and loops, those looking for more tamer experiences can take a leisurely bike ride on E.T’s Adventure where you’ll accompany everyone’s favourite 80s alien on the journey back to his home planet (this is actually Universal’s only remaining opening day attraction!). 

If that’s not enough, water-lovers can venture to Volcano Bay, Universal’s tropical oasis located at the heart of downtown packed with winding rivers, wave pools, and soaking slides like the Krakatau Aqua Coaster.

Fortunately, both Universal hotels and private Orlando villas offer plenty of storage space for guests. So, don't hesitate to pack a variety of outfits if your schedule is filled with exciting activities. 

Orlando's weather is consistently warm and sunny throughout the year, making it perfect for typical holiday attire like shorts, t-shirts, swimwear, and lightweight clothing. A hat is also essential during the scorching summer months, especially to protect any kids from the rays. And never underestimate the power of comfy trainers for strolling around the theme parks — you might find yourself walking up to 40,000 steps a day!
