The resort will be a combination of two hotels, Surfside Inn & Suites and Dockside Inn & Suites. These two hotels will be Universal's first lower price-point properties, with one-bedrooms starting at $73 a night, and two-bedroom suites starting at $111. photo via Universal Despite the lower price, guests will have the same access to the parks that other Universal resort guests have, such as early park entry and free shuttles to and from the parks. The first of the two hotels to open will be Surfside in the summer of 2019, while Dockside is scheduled to open in 2020. The two hotels are said to have a beachy surf theme with a "relaxed and easy vibe" which is no surprise considering they share a name with the famous 1966 surf documentary The Endless Summer. photo via Universal Avatab....

keith_h 420 Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 I don't follow room rates but the prices seem to be decent. As far as the theme it isn't much different than some of the beachside rentals I've seen along the Carolina's coasts for a lot more per night. A bit spartan but easy to keep clean with plenty of room to move around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slices 16 Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Prices of suites certainly look good about half what one at Cabana Bay goes for .Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 The princes they’re advertising are less than regular hotels in the area.... for a resort. Will be interesting for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seals 111 Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I don't pay much attention to "starting at" prices. That could just mean a couple of Wednesdays and Thursdays in January and the rest of the year much higher. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One Wednesday the first week of March. disneygeek87 and Avatab.... Steve 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
disneylitch......Debbie 61 Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 This prices might be to get people in the door and then they will escalate from there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Breezy2 18 Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 I just wish they would build a campground instead of more hotels! The Fort needs some competition. keith_h 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Sounds like Universal's answer to Value Resorts. They've got some nice resorts now, but they're pricey. And given you get same park perks as their other resort guests, I'm betting this will boost attendance a good bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even if they could, they'd need a whole lot more land for a campground to match the number of "rooms" they can jam into a resort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They sure can. I doubt Disney would build a Fort these days for the same reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
