LOEWS SAPPHIRE FALLS RESORT, UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, ORLANDO FLORIDA - HOTEL TOUR & INSIDE LOOK 

I was in Orlando in Florida for three nights and stayed at the Loews Sapphire Falls Resort which is within the Universal Studios perimeter. It's a very big, popular and well situated hotel with FANTASTIC BEDS. I have never slept so well on jet lag. The pool is amazing too and the rooms come with a coffee machine. Being a guest at Loews Sapphire Falls entitles you to early entry to Islands of Adventure (the one with Harry Potter) - you can get in at 8am and it opens to the general public at 9am. This is a nice perk. Universal Studios opens at 9am and you can't get in there any earlier. This video offers a full hotel tour and inside look and checks out the restaurant/grab and go shop too. It's a 10 minute nice walk from this hotel to City Walk/Islands of Adventure and there are also free, regular river taxis to shuttle you there if you don't fancy walking. Staying here makes your stay at Universal VERY easy...plus it's in walking distance to Volcano Bay which is one of my favourite parks.
