    View of Epic Universe from my room!
    Roselene D.

    I had a great stay here! My friends and I are thankful we didn't experience any of the negative things we read about in some reviews. Front counter staff made us feel as if they were really happy to see us! The rooms were very clean and a nice size. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom could've been a little bigger but it was good. I had a view of Helios and Epic from my room! A/C and water pressure were all great! Food at the café was very good. Pricey but that's to be expected and actually was not that far off of prices everywhere when you think about it. Ex: $9 for a (better quality) bacon, egg and cheese breakfast bagel. That's almost the same price at McDonald's, BK, Wendy's and DD. Shuttles ran frequently and to all surrounding parks! All in all great stay! ---------- 2nd stay 11/22/2025 and I'm still loving it! I will definitely continue to book here.

    Really cool theming -- space. This is in the morning.

    We came here at the end of July. This is one of Universal's newest resorts since they opened this year for the Epic Universe section of the parks. It is the most affordable of the resorts in the Epic Universe area. For a first time stay at a Universal resort, this was great! After spending a few days at Disney, we made our way over to this Universal resort since we wanted to visit 3 of its theme parks. We booked our stay in advance and also saved a bit because of my passholder discount. When we were deciding where to stay, we opted for Terra Luna because of its proximity to the newest park -- Epic Universe even though we did plan to spend two days at the other parks. Immediately when we came in, we noticed how spacious the resort was. Beds were comfy. Mirror lighting was great! We actually enjoyed our stay here more than our stay at Disney. The rooms were spacious, modern, and space themed, which we really love! We also got to check-in a few hours early (1:30 pm). The staff here was very helpful, too and communicated necessary information over text as well. We stayed on one of the top floors - 8th floor at the very end of the hall, which was pretty cool because of the unique shape of the resort. The bathroom door that we had required some effort to close, but other than that, everything else was great! We didn't get to check out the food options, pool, or fitness room since we spent most of our days at the parks, but I definitely suggest checking it out if you are free. The fitness area looked very modern and the pool area looked beautiful. Transportation was also easy. The buses were practically always waiting and if they weren't, the buses will be there within 10 minutes (at most). It was less than a 10 minute drive to get to Epic and maybe a 15-20 minute drive to get to Universal/Islands of Adventure/City Walk. We will definitely come here again if we are in Orlando!

    Pros: -clean -new -10-15 min. From Universal/Islands -5ish min. From Epic -Lady that's name started with a M at the service desk was nice and trying to help, which I really appreciate but the issues we had a new hotel are just unacceptable. Cons: -AC barely worked at all (it was a hot night...) -Music from pool was blaring! I called and complained over the phone at 10 pm though I think that music down there should be turned off at 9 pm. It was barely lowered and it took me going down to the lobby for them to finally turn it DOWN! I was very upset with this, especially for traveling with two kids. I even offered for them to come to the room to hear how loud it was, they did not take me up on this (which makes me feel like they already knew). They said they were full (so could not switch us rooms). Then they told me that the pool and music are not shutting down until 11 but they will lower it again. I was back up to the room by around 10:30ish and they finally had turned it down. But this was not a good experience regardless... this hotel allows early access to parks. We had to be up early the next day and the whole reason why we stayed here was because of this. Just NOT OKAY! I would never blare music at the pool that late and it should be completely turned off at 8 or 9 pm as most people are going to bed to wake up early for the parks the next day. In addition to that the walls are PAPER thin here. Especially compared to Royal and Hard Rock (we have loved every universal hotel except this one). We heard our neighbors often and heard alarms going off in the morning that were not ours. It was a loud and hot night. I feel like this hotel was built to be "pretty" but instead was built "pretty cheaply". We 100% will not be coming back to this hotel.

    By far, one of the best experiences I've had in a hotel in Orlando. Not only are the facilities and the amenities new but top of the line. My group, which consisted of about 25 people attending an event, was highly impressed with the cleanliness, the service, as well as the atmosphere of the hotel. It is also conveniently located incredibly close to the parks - you could even call it walking distance. As a matter of fact, the hotel is so new that Google Maps didn't even have specific directions to it. So, if you find yourself in Orlando, head over to Terra Luna, relax, and enjoy yourself!

    Terra Luna is one of the newest hotels affiliated with Universal. It's quite far from the Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure parks -- about 15 minutes on the shuttle. But it's extremely close to Epic Universe -- 2 minutes on the shuttle. While this hotel is one of the lower tier hotels, it serves its purpose, especially if you spend most of your time at the parks. The room includes 2 beds, a flat panel TV, a mini refrigerator, and a couch with a small table. We had a room on one of the higher floors with a view of the pool, but we couldn't hear any noise from the pool. The only noise I heard were the slamming of doors in the morning. Although the hotel is new, there were a few things that made me wonder what happened in construction. In the shower, one of the metal accents fell off. It wasn't glued securely to the shower. Although there were plenty of electrical outlets, including USB-A and USB-C, some of these didn't work. The hotel has a game room and a gym. My hotel card was rejected when I tried to use the gym. I didn't bother trying to rectify that. The hotel also has a grab-and-go market (Omega Market), a cafe (Omega Cafe) where you can order hot food, and a pool side bar and grill (Moonrise Bar and Grill). We only had food from Omega Cafe and thought that the food was really good compared a higher tier hotel that we stayed at previously. I liked that there were a number of dishes where you have the option of a side of regular fries or sweet potato fries at no additional cost. Sweet potato fries forever! One of my favorite dishes was the Big French Dipper, but it's only available for lunch. Overall I wouldn't mind staying here again.

    I recently stayed three nights at Terra Luna and visited Epic Universe and Universal. Overall, it's a good hotel, and I would stay there again. I loved its proximity to Epic Universe; it felt almost within walking distance. They provided shuttles to CityWalk and Epic Universe. The rooms and lobby were spotless, and none of the other guests were loud. Room service is every other day. The entire experience was very smooth. However, I did have a few minor complaints. First, the parking situation was frustrating. One of the machines was down, and my room key didn't work when I tried to use it for parking, even after I got a new one. The café closes at 11 PM, so after a long day at the theme parks, it can be a rush to get back to the buses and hope to make it before the café closes. The Eclipse Bridge wasn't anything special; I felt Stella Nova had the better setup. The bar was also a bit small. I dislike it when hotels don't maximize the potential of their drinking areas. Terra Luna is about a 10-15 minute bus ride to CityWalk, Universal, and Islands of Adventure. It's approximately a three-minute bus ride to Epic, though it does stop once at Stella Nova before heading to Epic. If you're primarily visiting Epic Universe, Terra Luna is a nice option, and I've heard from team members that this hotel tends to attract a more mature audience.

    My family and I stayed here before a visit to Epic Universe. It is located very close to Epic, but also offers shuttles to Universal Studios/Islands/City Walk which is about 10-15 minutes away. Terra Luna is close to Epic but I would not consider it walking distance, unless you want to add an extra 20 minute walk each way to your already busy day of walking in the theme park. The hotel itself has a really cute space them and is like the Surfside version of the Endless Summer resorts. Stella Nova is probably the Dockside version. If you have not been, Surfside is the smaller quieter hotel and Dockside is huge and extremely busy. I really enjoyed the smaller and quieter/more relaxed vibe that Terra Luna offered. They have a grab n go good area, as well as hot food available for purchase. There is a gift shop, too. And best of all, a jacuzzi! Dockside and Surfside both lack a jacuzzi, which is one of my favorite highlights when staying at a hotel, so I was really happy to see they included one here. Rooms were clean and the space aesthetic was really cute. My only complaint is the bedding. They provide flimsy cover that cannot be called a comforter but is not a sheet. They do this at Dockside and Surfside, too- and it's not pleasing. It does nothing to keep you warm and I end up having to request about 3 extras. I suppose this is a cost saving measure, as these hotels are considered budget friendly- though typically starting at $150 a night for a standard room is not what I consider budget- especially when you tack on their $30 parking fees PER NIGHT. You might get lucky and find lower rates during very slow times, but on average expect to pay $140+ a night, not counting parking fees and taxes. It is disappointing, as when these lines of hotels came out I was excited to see a more budget friendly option for families and at first prices were in the $100-$120 range. But I guess they have realized they can charge more and people will pay....

    I had a very pleasant experience at the Terra Luna resort, one of Universal's newer, more affordable hotels right near Epic Universe. This is the "light" version, and across the way is the Stella Nova, the "dark" one. It's celestial/space themed and I think they did a fantastic job with the aesthetic. You walk in and everything is light and swooping shapes and backlit like you're in a galaxy. The rooms are definitely small and have minimum amenities but it does the job. They have a nice sized workout room, though it the lights stopped working while I was working out one day and it was "out of order" after that, which was a new one on me. They do have a dining hall but it seems pretty small for the amount of people that could potentially stay at the resort. I guess maybe they're counting on people going to the parks and eating there, but it seems like a miscount on their part. But they have a pretty big menu and the food is decent. There's a small Universal store of course, as well as an arcade. The pool area is a nice size and nothing too fancy, but enjoyable one that typical hot & muggy Florida day. It's reasonable walking distance to Epic Universe but the shuttles to there and the other Universal parks are a great option. You do have to pay extra for parking (of course) and if you try to park there without staying at the hotel it's insanely expensive, I think so as to discourage parking there unless you're staying.

    Booked a two night stay in December via Hotels.com. My decision was based on the location and proximity to Epic Universe and the fact that they have shuttles to transport to all the parks. Upon arrival, we were greeted and checked in promptly (it was almost midnight). The person checking us in gave us great tips on how to utilize our time at the park, which ended up being very helpful! We did not take advantage of going into the park early as we were tired from getting in late, but I really like that they have that incentive for guests. Our room felt very new and clean. We had a nice view of the pool area. Didn't get to enjoy the resort itself, but I would definitely book Terra Luna again!

    We were visiting Epic Universe in Orlando, FL. Terra Luna was a great choice because if it location close to the park, early access because is part of the Universal network of hotels, buses that take you between parks and downtown area. It has a great balance between affordable, confort, and the benefits of being a Universal hotel. The bartender was great and remembers use the second and 3rd night. Very friendly and good drinks recommendations. The one negative was the wait time for the food from the restaurant. We waited 30-45+ minutes for some basic dishes and burgers. They may be understaffed or the demands from the entire hotel is more than they anticipated. After walking all day in the park, having to wait that long for a burger and soda is a bit much. There is also a parking fee. So if you are a local like me, keep in mind driving there will coast you. Overall, a good experience, and I would use them again if visiting the Orlando area.

    Terra Luna was a beautiful budget friendly Universal Studios resort. Our room was large and full of modern amenities, great high pressure shower, and incredible park views. Everything was squeaky clean, shiny and new. Check in and parking was incredibly easy. The best and most convenient feature was the resort to park tram. We were lucky enough to see the test run of Epic Universe's first fireworks, light, and drone show from our room window. It was super cool. The decor inside was a little underwhelming for a Universal Studios resort , but they did stick closely to the theming. Still a beautiful resort and well worth the value.

    We are staying here now. The hotel looks nice, but the rooms are extremely dirty. Our first room was so unclean we thought it hadn't been serviced. The second room was just as bad--hair in the carpet, food crumbs, dust, and stained walls, couch, and bathtub. Management was rude and dismissive. Although the housekeeping manager confirmed the room was not up to standard, no compensation or resolution was offered. We ended up cleaning the room ourselves with Clorox wipes while the housekeeping manager stood there watching. Completely unacceptable. Worst experience we've ever had at a theme park resort. Best advice: stay at a Disney property.

    This was my first time staying at a universal studios resort. This hotel was amazing! Starting from the check in process to the minute we checked out. The staff here were nice and helped us with all the questions we had. We were excited to check out the pool but unfortunately the weather did not allow us. Our rooms were clean and super spacious! I will definitely come back to stay here next time I'm in town.

If you don't follow your GPS like it's the voice of God, you'll drive past this place at least 10 times wondering if you're being pranked. Once you finally find it, though, you're in for a surprise.

Then you walk into the lobby and BAM dark wood floors, elegant furniture, comfortable sofas, and enough atmosphere to make you wonder, Wait what did I accidentally book?

Listen, I don't know if it's a pillow-top, a cloud-top, a Sleep Number, a NASA mattress, or if angels personally fluff it every afternoon, but that thing is dangerous. I laid down for what felt like five minutes and woke up the next morning. I slept harder than a newborn after a bottle. Now let's talk about room service. They have this little stand where you order directly from the steakhouse downstairs. I ordered dinner, expecting hotel prices that require a small bank loan. The bill was $35. I nearly called the front desk to report a pricing error. Meanwhile, I was hungrier than a hostage, and they delivered a meal fit for royalty. For a brief moment, I genuinely felt like a VIP. The hotel also has a nice bar for those who enjoy a drink. I don't drink, but if I did, I probably would've celebrated finally finding the entrance. Bottom line: great atmosphere, beautiful property, comfortable rooms, amazing food, affordable prices, and a mattress that may have supernatural powers. Would I stay here again? Absolutely. Would I still need GPS to find it? Also absolutely.

Not once did the waitstaff ever come by to offer me more coffee at breakfast. So, for service I give 3 stars. However, the bartender at the pool was wonderful! She was very nice and attentive. The valets were all great! The front desk staff were all wonderful. It's really just the waitstaff in the restaurants that need to get better. We loved our room. We had a view of the pool. I did call downstairs to ask for a magnifying mirror and a weight scale. They said they didn't have either. Fortunately they called back and did in fact have a scale and brought it up to my room. I would hope a nice hotel like this would have magnified mirrors for the bathroom. The food and drinks in the restaurants were good. No complaints. The location is great. We walked to dinner and to the nearby lake Eola. There's plenty of things to do within walking distance. I would stay here again.

    **Review for The Boheme restaurant**…read more We loved the fresh crab legs, shrimp and unlimited mimosas. There was live music being played on a piano. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I visited for brunch. (It's been years) Most of the food is still good. There were only a handful of things that I didn't like. The breakfast potatoes were cold and just not good. They taste like fake food. I didn't like the breakfast link veggie sausages and the tomato bisque was too sweet. I'm sure those can be swapped for something way better. There was no utensil For the waffles. I forgot to ask for one but how come no one else noticed? The staff did replenish the food but not the serving spoons/tongs. They do still have an omelette bar and meat carving station and crepe station. I enjoyed all 3. Clean and organized. Not too crowded. I was a little concerned about the temperature of the oysters on the half shell. If this brunch is going to last, it could use some improvement. After all, It's not a cheap brunch.

    Embassy Suites is always one of my favorite Hilton brands. We stayed for the weekend to attend…read morePanda Fest nearby and meet up with friends, and the location was perfect. We were able to go out and about without worrying about driving, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The hotel was easy to find, and parking is conveniently located right across the street with simple in-and-out access (though, of course, there is a parking fee -- which is never fun). Inside, the hotel is very clean, beautifully decorated, and the staff was accommodating throughout our stay. Our room was on the fifth floor, which I actually prefer when staying in a city -- the higher up, the better to avoid street noise. One of my favorite features of Embassy Suites is the room layout. The separation between the living room and bedroom is ideal, especially if someone wants to rest while others are still awake. The rooms have consistently been clean and feel very homey. Everything was great -- until Sunday morning. This is a dog-friendly hotel, which we love since we bring our dog and take her on walks so she's not stuck inside all weekend. However, checkout morning was pure chaos. One of the two elevators was out of service, it was peak checkout time, and there was also a princess pageant event happening, so the hotel was much busier than usual. Trying to get downstairs with my dog was extremely frustrating. I looked for stairs but wasn't sure if they were alarmed. When I asked an employee to confirm, she looked at me like I had five heads, which didn't help my already thin patience (I definitely did not have enough coffee for that situation). I eventually just went downstairs. Coming back up was even worse -- the line for the single working elevator was ridiculous. When I asked the front desk about the stairs, I was told they were accessible from outside. I didn't realize I needed my key card to re-enter through the outdoor stairwell (which makes total sense -- I was just aggravated at that point). After going back inside and trying again, I ended up walking up five flights of stairs with my dog. Thankfully, we had requested a late checkout, so we avoided the absolute peak of the chaos. Our friends on the third floor ended up carrying their luggage down the stairs because waiting for the elevator wasn't worth it. Unfortunately, being on the fifth floor with a lot of luggage, that wasn't really an option for us. Aside from that stressful morning, we really enjoyed our stay. The complimentary evening happy hour with drink tickets and small bites is always a highlight. We also had breakfast on Saturday morning -- and honestly, the breakfast is a major deciding factor whenever we choose to stay at a Hilton. Overall, a great stay with one very frustrating checkout experience.

    Lovely place! It was my first time staying in downtown…read moreorlando. The neighborhood is quiet and pretty with a local lake right off the hotel property. City Hall is nearby with lots of office buildings and a few residential high rises. I was there for a concert at the Kia Center and it was about a ten minute walk. There is also a publix and a convenience store within a 5 minute walk. It is very convenient to get to from the airport via bus if you dont mind the ride and about 20 minutes (depending on traffic) from the international outlet mall. The complementary breakfast was decent with my highlight being the strawberry waffle that i was not supposed to eat LOL. Highly recommend this location if you dont want to stay in the more touristy part of orlando.

    Universal Orlando cabana bay resort was a great vacation destination,For me and my wife birthdays…read more The room was spacious and the beds were really comfortable. Nice and firm for a get night rest or a nap after being at the pool side for a few hours. Walk in closet big bathroom ,living room was cool as well. The rooms give you that old 1960 vibes with a modern touch. The resort also featured some old vintage 1960 cars similar to the TWA hotel at jfk airport. The resort had some nice places to go to. Me and my wife enjoyed the bowling alley. We had a lot of fun. Don't forget about the shops with all your favorite carton characters t shirts hats slippers you name it Star Wars, the minions the Simpsons fun for kids all ages. We also enjoyed the cabana cafeteria . I had a spicy chicken sandwich with fries my wife had chicken teriyaki lomein full of nice pieces of chicken ,Which she enjoyed .I also had some chicken tenders and fries from the cafeteria on our stay. We also ordered food from door dash while we were in the main lobby. We ordered shake shack which was cheaper ordering from door dash then buying food on the resort, smash burgers well done with cheese fries, for a little vacation cheat because I'm on a diet. By the way the order came really fast. Don The pool was great especially at night the view was amazing. With the lights shining on the pool and the really nice fire pit they had so you can even roast some marshmallows by it. Also the pool features a water slide for kids and adults. The blow up rafts were $9to17. You also could bring your own as well. You also had an ice machine with cold water free. Plus you had the soft drinks and soda all you can drink for $30 . That was the drink packed. Cabana bay resort also had a restaurant right next the pool outside. Where they had some really good chicken quesadillas with fries. My wife enjoyed that. . I went with the chicken wrap with lettuce and some veggies, It was great to eat pool side with the beach chairs equipped with the big umbrella for shade . Then you also had the lazy river at the resort. That featured a bigger water slide and pool . Bigger than the pool outside the main lobby. The staff was courteous and friendly the stay was fun. Just remember it's kinda pricey . But don't forget about all the theme parks you get to visit for $80 each way .

    Stayed here last weekend for a long Memorial Day weekend. The hotel and pools are pretty nice -…read morekind of a 50s/60s vibe, though, the pool area was quite loud and crowded - couldn't help but hear other people's expletive-ridden drunk conversations while I watched my kids swim. The food: the bowling alley is probably one of the best food options on site (other than the Starbucks) - the salad there was actually quite good and not crazy expensive (though, everything is expensive). We also enjoyed milkshakes from the malt shop. The room was fine - we had a suite with a little kitchenette and it was spacious enough for a few days. **My only real complaint (and the reason for my lower review) was the quality of the furniture. My daughter was leaning against one of the end tables to plug something in on the other side the night before we were hitting Epic Universe early, and it collapsed below her. She fell on top of it and some portion of it punctured her leg (we think a metal pin that was poking out from one of the broken legs). We contacted hotel management, and they came with hotel security who did some basic first aid and took away the broken tables (the other one also broke from her fall). We're grateful she wasn't injured more seriously (at least that we know of yet), but it could have been so much worse if that pin had punctured a more delicate area of her body. It also definitely made the next day at the park a lot harder for her with leg pain, etc. They really need to upgrade/inspect the furniture to make sure it's safe for guests.
