Universal’s Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites

Ashley Brancato

Surfside inn was perfect when traveling with family! The staff was so nice and made sure we were taken care of. They had a playpen (4moms - brand) available for our toddler to sleep in upon check in. The Starbucks was perfect in the morning - they were very fast especially when busy. The bus transportation to and from the parks was perfect and super easy to navigate! We stayed in a 2-bedroom suite and it was perfect for my toddler, my husband and I and my mom. It had a fridge to store cold items and a good size sink! I can’t say enough about this hotel when traveling with a family, it’s a must!

Great Value Stay with Minor Comfort Issues Our friend group recently stayed at Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites, and we were thoroughly impressed with the overall experience, especially given the price point. For four people staying in a suite, the total came to just $600 for three days--including our park tickets! The value for money here is outstanding and only 5 minute shuttle ride from the park. One of the biggest perks was the early admission to the Universal parks. Getting a head start before the general crowds made a significant difference. The hotel's location is also convenient, with easy access to the parks via the complimentary shuttle service. The dining options at the hotel were diverse and satisfying. Starbucks is busy every minute and I have not seen an empty line there, however, drinks come out promptly, the staff is very friendly. The staff at Dockside Inn and Suites were amazing and incredibly friendly. From the front desk to housekeeping, everyone went out of their way to ensure we had a pleasant stay. As for the suite itself, it was spacious and clean, comfortably accommodating all four of us. However, there were a couple of minor drawbacks. The comforter provided was a very thin blanket that didn't offer much warmth. Additionally, the towels were quite thin and not as plush as we would have liked. Despite these small issues, we found the overall experience to be highly enjoyable and a great value. We would definitely consider staying at Dockside Inn and Suites again on our next visit to Universal Orlando Resort.

Parking was easy and conveniently distanced from 10 minute quick check in area. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We found the room, in tower 2, had plenty of space, for six, in every aspect and everything was clean. Provided amenities, such as plastic plates, coffee, soaps, microwave, fridge, extra pillow and blanket, shelf space, picnic size table, etc. are great touches. Breakfast choices are affordable, savory, and have great portions. Check out was also quick and easy. We did not use other common amenities this trip since we just stayed for a Horror Night. Oh yes, the common lobby bathroom was also clean. The souvenir shop has a good variety of Universal items and clothing.

The best!!! From the moment we checked in and throughout our stay, it's been amazing. We return to this hotel each trip and it always maintains it's high standards. MEGAN was at the reception for check in and made everything simple and easy, always great to start off the holiday. We love Universal Studios and it's hotels. Thank you to all the amazing Team Members.

I enjoyed my time at the surfside resort. The pizza was the highlight for me! Friendly staff, good food and drinks, and a nice bar by the pool with frozen drinks too! Our room was spacious and we were upgraded to a suite for our honeymoon which included an area to eat and reheat food. The free shuttle and access to early park admission is a plus. Made things very convenient and stress free for our group. I would definitely stay here again.
