A lovely hotel market that is extremely conveniently located. I think Helios has become my new fave Universal Hotel. Partially because it's new, partially because I love Epic Universe, and the design (inside) feels fresh and modern.
But the stand out for me is just how easy it is to navigate and get what you need quickly. The lobby, the entrance into the park, the market, and the merch store are all feet from each other. And Aurora has some good grab and go food items, a big selection of candy, even some liquor and wine. But I'm here for the espresso - which, of course, was solid AND I can bring it into the park with me. Feels so bougie! Plus they had a case of lovely pastries. The guava cheesecake was moist and tasty - love the slightly sweet, rich cake with a nice cutting tropical flavor! And the edible pearls made for a nice crunch. I also really enjoyed a chocolate cake I got. I cannot remember if it was with caramel, hazelnut, or coffee as I forgot to take pics! But it was nicely balanced and very rich! read more
