    I've been to this hotel a couple times. I really do love the views. They're very nice. The rooms are clean. The place is very big. I feel like there's not much else around this area so if you're coming here just be prepared to stay on premise. Unless you want to get an Uber to go somewhere else overall it's a beautiful place. It's great to get away.

    Rosen Shingle Creek 9939 UNIVERSAL BLVD, ORLANDO, FLORIDA 32819 There's something about arriving at Rosen Shingle Creek that immediately sets the tone for a refined yet welcoming stay. Rising gracefully against the Orlando skyline, this property feels less like a typical hotel and more like a thoughtfully designed retreat where comfort, elegance, and service come together effortlessly. The first thing that stands out is the architecture--rich Spanish revival influences that give the entire space a warm, timeless character. It's grand without feeling overwhelming, and every corner feels intentional. As you step into the guest rooms, the experience only gets better. Spacious, quiet, and beautifully maintained, the rooms offer sweeping views of the lush greens of the Shingle Creek Golf Course. Waking up to that serene landscape feels like a reset button for the day. What truly elevates the experience here is the level of hospitality. The service feels genuine, not scripted--attentive without being intrusive. It's clear why they've earned a reputation for exceptional customer care. The dining options are equally impressive, offering a variety of well-executed menus that cater to different moods, whether you're in the mood for a relaxed bite or a more refined evening. Add to that the expansive meeting rooms and conference spaces, and it's easy to see why this property is a favorite for both leisure travelers and business guests alike. Location-wise, it's hard to beat--tucked along Universal Boulevard, just minutes from major attractions and conveniently close to the Orange County Convention Center, yet it still manages to feel like a peaceful escape from the buzz. Overall, Rosen Shingle Creek delivers a complete experience--beautiful surroundings, thoughtful design, excellent food, and service that leaves a lasting impression. It's one of those places you don't just stay at--you genuinely enjoy being there. One small but somewhat surprising detail--access to the hotel gym comes with a $10 daily fee. It's not a dealbreaker by any means, but it does stand out, especially in a property of this caliber where you might expect fitness access to be included.

    Nice marble sink area.

    If you are looking for a decent resort with restaurant options, pools, golfing, and other vacation amenities close to all things Universal Studios, Rosen Shingle Creek is a solid spot with a decent price point. It's located 20 minutes from Orlando International Airport and downtown (CBD), where there are some nice bar options, and 20 to 25 minutes from Disney if you are inclined to embrace Club Mouse. I was at Rosen Shingle Creek for a conference. For the night I was there, they have a solid convention center and collection of ballrooms to accommodate a variety of different personal and business events. They have a few restaurants comprising different cuisines ranging from steak and fine dining to burgers and wings, as well as sushi and Tex-Mex. They have a coffee bar for your morning joe or tea, with various baked goods. The room featured a comfortable king-sized bed, numerous power outlets for electronic devices, a sitting area, a double-door closet, and a bathroom with a separate room for the shower and toilet. Access to the rooms, at least our wing, came from the set of elevators by the Reception area. It was an easy location. Elevators were prompt and plentiful. I didn't access the more recreational amenities, such as the pool and fitness center, for example, but the property and surroundings are lovely. The convention center is easily accessible through the main lobby floor, past the restaurant hall. There are many ballrooms and meeting rooms for both business and celebratory events, such as conferences and weddings, including the one I attended.

    Truly enjoyed our time at the spa atRosen shingle Creek! One of the best massages ever and a beautiful and stunning environment. After the massage we took advantage of the pool and the amenities at the hotel and thoroughly enjoyed our day. Would highly recommend this for any type of getaway and it's perfect for a day spa retreat getaway.

    I have stayed at this resort multiple times, and each experience was very enjoyable. The surroundings feature elevated Floridian style. Upon checking in most recently, we learned that some remodeling is taking place, including repaving the self-parking lot and room doors being replaced by a more natural wood variety, coordinating with the new style room keys. A shuttle shortened our trek from the farther lot, due to the paving. There's plentiful dining options. I've had brunch at the Café Osceola, splurged at A Land Remembered (definitely worth it), grabbed a quick bite at 18 Monroe Street Market, and ordered poolside from Cat-Tails. Mostly everything was rather tasty and satisfying. The staff has always been welcoming and thoroughly accommodating. If Heather is still a poolside server there, she's awesome! Hardworking and keeps you smiling. The rooms are comfy with nice decor. There's 3 pools (1 for laps, 1 for families & 1 with cabanas which is closest to the bar & grille). There's additional offerings for other recreation as well, but I'm never there for that. It's always a lovely place to attend an event, which is what usually brings me there. I know I'll gladly return in the future.

    Stayed here for my husbands work trip. The good parts of the trip- amazing food, great pool and bartenders. The downside of the stay was pretty much the room. Our room was nothing special, which is okay for us, however the shower was dirty and didn't drain properly so you showered in a puddle of water, there was blood stains on the carpet between the bathroom and sink, and just stains around the mirror. The cleaning staff was hit or miss if they cleaned the room, and didn't restock our shampoos and conditioners even though they were empty. There was also renovation going on the floor above us, and all you could hear during the day was banging and drilling, which made taking work calls difficult. With that being said I did hear they are renovating top floors down, so maybe request a higher floor.

    My husband and I had a wonderful mini staycation here during the holiday season! It was our first time here an we had an amazing time! The room was incredible and from our room you could see Epic Universe!! I absolutely loved all of the holiday decorations they had up both inside and on the outside of the hotel. We loved being able to walk around and get drinks from the numerous places they had inside. The pool area was super nice but we didn't go swimming because it was cold! I would definitely stay here again in the future!

    This has been my 2nd year attending for a work event. The center is always organized and staffed well, parking is slow but easy to understand. Be warned getting in can be very very slow for busy events. Allot 220 to 30 minutes extra in and out.

    Nice golf course + restaurant. Ismar in the restaurant was awesome, great service & really solid food/drinks. Will definitely stay here in the future & play the course (only had time to practice this year).... Great facility though!

    I can't believe this hotel doesn't have more 5 star reviews. We were pleasantly shocked by how nice this resort is. We couldn't believe how great it was for the price. Beautiful lobby and grounds, great in-house restaurants, amazing banquet halls. We only stayed one night, but would love to stay again when in town. The buffet breakfast was AMAZING. So many choices. As someone who has food allergies, I was so happy I had so many things to eat!! The staff was all great, and our room was clean. Thank you! :)

    Comfy beds, lots of places to sit. Nice zero entry pool. Restaurants on premises & coffee by Starbucks, but better prices! Fruit water in the lobby. Our prom was here, so stayed to make getting ready easier. Lovely!

    I went to Rosen to join my sister who was there for a conference. It is a beautiful hotel and the pools are super nice. I wish there was more shaded area around the pools.

    This is a beautiful property that I have enjoyed for a 5 day stay. Upon arriving to Orlando, I had to quickly pivot from my prearranged accommodations and booked Rosen Shingle Creek. The hotel is quite large with friendly staff. The rooms are nice and the common areas are beautifully decorated. I have eaten at three of the dining options, used the pool and hot tub multiple times, and I even spent a little time in the game room. I was pleased to find the array of dining options, though at times I was disappointed when a couple were unexpectedly closed. I really like the convenience of the 24 hour market that had some great food, snacks, and sundries. I will say that the parking charge is a bit steep for self parking and the distance you need to walk to get to it (due to the size of the property). However, I would absolutely recommend this hotel and I would absolutely stay here again.

    Ask the Community - Rosen Shingle Creek

    Does this hotel have laundry facilities for guests?

    Yes. Located on the lower level of you want to do your own

    What times are the free shuttle to Universal available? And how do you request a return ride back to hotel? Thank you!

    Is parking included with a nights stay?

    No. There is a text in service to charge the parking per night to the room.

    Are there on site guest laundry facilities?

    Yes. It's on the first floor by the arcade.

    What type of coffee maker is in the room, regular single serve or K-cup type?

    Regular single-cup brewing coffee maker. Nothing fancy, and not very good.

    Can I pay for my room before I get there?

    An usual request, as most of us don't want to part with our money until we have to (which has me curious as to why you would want to do this)... Some hotels offer a lower rate that's pre-paid and not cancellable - those they would charge right away.… 

    What is the largest size milk container the room refrigerator can hold?

    It's a standard hotel refrigerator. I'd say 16oz bottles would work fine. Call the hotel, I'm sure they could give you a better answer.

    Do double queen rooms have microwaves or refrigerator?

    Refrigerators yes, microwave no. You can request a room with these when you make your reservation.

The level of service is what you would expect with the four seasons brand but this hotel stands above the rest with beauty and things to do. We enjoyed the 5 acre water park every day and loved it. So much to do for families at the pool area and we dipped away from the kids for the quiet adults pool also. If you are staying here to visit Disney it was equally amazing with character breakfasts in Ravello and the Disney shuttles that ran very often.

We weren't able to take advantage of the pool situation because it was unseasonably cold while we were there and even though it's heated, swimming while it was 40 degrees did not seem appealing. We did use the gym facility which was expansive and very well equipped. I would recommend this hotel for anyone coming to Disney but it's not necessarily on par with other Four Seasons Hotels.

I've stayed here several times over the last 15 years, and it never disappoints. As one of Universal Orlando's original three Premier Resorts, it has everything you could want. The rooms are huge, the beds are hands down the most comfortable in all of the Universal hotels, the sheets are unbelievably soft, and there are plenty of great restaurants on property. The value is incredible too. Your room key doubles as an Express Pass at Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, and if you've ever priced those passes, you know they can easily cost over $200 per person, per day. That alone makes staying here worth considering. We kicked off our trip with drinks at the Thirsty Fish. Check out my separate review because it was fantastic. We also had dinner at Mama Della's, which deserves its own review as well. This trip was all about the resort. We talked about going to CityWalk and maybe even hitting the parks, but we were having such a great time that we never left the hotel. Since it was just the two of us, it turned into the perfect relaxing getaway. Most people head to the Beach Pool with the slide, but we spent our time at the Villa Pool, and it was exactly what we were looking for. It reminded me of the pool at the Ritz-Carlton. Palm trees everywhere, a huge pool, tons of lounge chairs, and a much quieter atmosphere. It's only a short walk from the Beach Pool, and I was happy to find out it has the same full food and drink service. I ordered a tequila berry spritzer...or at least I think that's what it was called. I'll post a picture because I can't remember the exact name, but it was so good that by our second day it seemed like everyone around the pool was ordering one. Our second night, a big thunderstorm rolled in. We had reservations at CityWalk but canceled them, grabbed pizza and a Caesar salad from Sal's Market (see that review too), and had dinner in our room. Honestly, it ended up being one of my favorite parts of the trip. Good food, a little TV, some quality time together, and no reason to be anywhere else. We were only there for three days, but it felt like a true vacation. Whether you're coming to Orlando for the parks or just looking for an amazing staycation, Loews Portofino Bay is hard to beat. Was this review a little long? Probably. Do I care? Not even a little. We had an amazing time, and I think you will too.

From the moment we arrived, the entire property was clean, quiet, and visually gorgeous. The pool setup alone makes this place worth visiting. They have a fantastic variety of options depending on what mood you are in: a serene adult pool when you want to relax, a wave pool, a lazy river, and plenty of fun spots for smaller children. Another huge plus is convenience. With multiple restaurants, bars, and shops located right on site, it was effortless to find great food and drinks we loved without ever needing to leave the resort. On top of that, every staff member we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. We had an amazing time and cannot wait to return. Highly recommended!

The resort was easy to navigate, and there were no shortages of dining options. The room was gorgeous and had some thoughtful touches that I appreciated, including pillow spray, a clothes steamer, and even a weighted blanket. It's the little things that make a work trip feel a bit more like a vacation. My biggest complaint? The gym was about the size of my thumbnail. Thankfully, it still managed to squeeze in everything I needed for a solid workout, so I can't complain too much. The conference food was good, though nothing particularly memorable. The late-night food offerings, however, were a welcome surprise and definitely earned bonus points. This is a fantastic property for hosting large corporate meetings and events. The staff was friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. They did have to move some activities indoors due to weather, but everything seemed to be handled smoothly. Overall, a great resort that balances business and leisure well.

    We recently stayed at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort and overall had a really enjoyable…read moreexperience--it ended up being a great choice for our trip. There's a lot to love about this resort. The jogging trail and overall scenery are genuinely beautiful and make it feel like a relaxing escape after long park days. The freestyle soda machines were a nice perk, and the food quality exceeded expectations--it felt thoughtfully prepared rather than typical cafeteria-style resort food. Our room was very clean, which always makes a big difference, and the variety of transportation options to the parks was convenient and flexible. For what we paid, the value felt fair, especially considering the amenities. The pool area was also a highlight, and throughout our stay, the employees were consistently professional and helpful. The on-site laundry room was another underrated bonus--it made it easy to head home without a pile of laundry waiting. That said, there were a few drawbacks. We did notice gnats occasionally making their way into the room, which was frustrating. Transportation to Magic Kingdom in particular was inconsistent--the bus took a long time and caused us to miss early entry one morning. One bus driver interaction also stood out, as we were repeatedly corrected about our stroller not being "fully folded" (even though it was), along with strict direction on where we could stand or sit. Additionally, depending on your room location, the walk to Centertown Market can be quite long and inconvenient. The resort is also a bit far from any off-property convenience stores if you need to grab last-minute items, and the lack of a fitness center may be a downside for some guests. Overall, despite a few inconveniences, this was a fun and enjoyable place to stay. The positives definitely outweighed the negatives, and I would recommend it--and would stay here again.

When a vacation room has a door that faces the outside of the property I defined that as a motel and so that perception was immediately disappointing. We also experienced a lot of bugs coming in and out of the room and since you weren't in an interior space, traditional to a hotel, it contributed to having to walk through them. The resort is big in the pool area was nice. Getting from our room to the common area with food and gift shops seemed quite a distance, especially for us with a younger family. Travel to and from the park was convenient, although like any resort, very busy during peak times. Having visited other Disney resorts and resorts outside of the park, we would no longer choose to stay at the Caribbean beach resort.

    I recently went here for a stay-cation and it does live up to its reputation…read more Its all in the details! From higher end bedding, to sparkling clean and well maintained everything, to the fresh lobby flowers, it all says high end and was much appreciated. Check in took a few minutes of waiting around noon and we were accommodated to an early check in. There was no availability for a room upgrade but the standard one was beautiful regardless. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was beautiful and very clean with a separate shower and tub. The toiletries were a nice touch since my husband forgot to bring his toothbrush. The soaps, shampoo, body wash and conditioner all seemed like a higher quality with muted, natural scents. The grounds a very pretty, they shared amenities with the JW next door which created a fun day going from their lazy river then back to the Ritz pool for some R&R. The Ritz pool area has complimentary water, fruit, sunscreen, towels floating mats. The pool server was attentive as well. The lobby bar is large with friendly wait staff. I had probably the best charcuterie board I've ever had, featuring really decent gluten free toast in lieu of regular crackers, fresh honey comb, and high quality meats and cheeses. Fruit and electrolyte water was waiting in my room after a long day at the pool, which was a pleasant surprise. The breakfast buffet was inside Highball&Harvest, which was packed full of options, including gf muffins, toast, and waffles which were made in their kitchen area away from the buffet. There are a lot of amenities that I walked by but didn't utilize, like mountain bikes for their wood path, canoes, pool tables, ping pong, foosball, giant chess, soccer goals and a bunch of kids activities. Overall, I had an excellent stay at the Ritz Carlton and would love to return soon!

Here for work, Friday-Tuesday. The hotel itself absolutely gorgeous, but with a smell of mold on the lower levels. For a Ritz I've never experienced this issue maybe an Orlando thing with humidity and HVAC issues in the area. Still something to consider addressing. Checking in I saw them treating guests differently based on the way they were dressed or how they appeared to be paying for said stay. (Let's say the guy next to me was using points to pay vs cash and they made sure to say it loud enough for us nearby to hear) inappropriate to say the least. Day 3 My husband left his key in the room and naturally went to front desk to get a spare, they in turn disabled the other keys we had including mine (without mentioning this to him) This issue will come back to haunt me later, mind you we are here for work and running around between properties and meetings. Elevators REQUIRE keys to get up to your floor. I ordered food to my room, had a few bites and left it to come back to between meetings. The housekeeping threw it all away, I had my button on for no service and somehow I was serviced between 6-7pm while in a meeting. Never in my Mariott/Ritz past stays have I ever faced these types of issues. The property's are normally some of the best. Super disappointing stay as a titanium elite member.
