Nina at the front desk was able to have our room ready before check-in time. She customized our anniversary buttons to say 11 years together. She was kind, informative and truly has a passion for the role. Thank you, Nina for setting the tone of our stay. Everything else was great. Resort was clean, pool was great and drinks at the bar were strong. Michelle at Guest Services granted us a late check-out extension which allowed us to leave the room comfortably. Staying here was one of our best experiences at Universal Resort living here for the past seven years. We will only stay at this resort for as long as our annual passes gives us the discount!

This resort is a total win. Its biggest selling point? You're practically on the doorstep of Epic Universe. The shuttle ride is a nice 5-6 minutes; while I noticed some neighboring hotels seemed to have a higher frequency of buses, these still arrived at a steady enough clip to keep us moving. The lobby is a highlight, the market setup is brilliant. You can order a hot meal or hit the grab-and-go side for quick snacks, all with plenty of indoor and poolside seating. Though some of the food is hit or miss our family mostly liked the cheeseburger, pepperoni pizza and the chicken strips, other items were not as popular with us. Don't skip the gift shop either; it's like a "Greatest Hits" collection of park merch in case you forgot a souvenir. The rooms nailed the "space chic" vibe. The "space couch" was a clever touch for extra storage and lounging, and the ambient lighting was a vibe. But the real star was our view of Epic Universe lighting up at night! Combined with the Early Park Admission and friendly service, this is a fantastic value. I'd definitely orbit back here again!

We were able to check in early, which was wonderful and so helpful! Our room was nice. Everything was clean and perfect when we arrived. We had a view overlooking Epic Universe, which meant we had an amazing view of the fireworks they were testing for the 4th of July. Beds were comfy. We also spent the evening swimming in the pool. We had drinks at the pool bar, and sat around the fire pit outside chatting with friends. We couldn't figure out how to turn on the fire pit though, not sure if it was working. The transportation to Epic Universe was not too crowded. Overall we had a lovely stay.

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.

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.

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....

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.

I have stayed at about 10 different four seasons and this was by far the best. 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 mostly ate at the pool ( lakehouse) and in the evening at the hotel ( ravello/Lobby bar) The other place capa? on the roof was nice but we didnt dine there but we did enjoy using their balcony to watch the fireworks from magic kingdom/epcot. The Lickitysplit coffee/pastry/sandwich place was very convenient when we needed something on the go for our busy vacation plans outside the hotel. Shining star- Its hard to pick one person since every employee there is a 10/10 on service but Hannah in LakeHouse was a shinier diamond among diamonds she always went above and beyond for my picky grandaughter Bonus- Doing the Smores at the pool was something pretty amazing

The room was a good size and comfortable if a little on the tired side. Also, after much searching we discovered that our room had no mini bar which was kind of annoying. 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 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.

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 theming is not so Disney themed, which I liked. Huge gift shop, big arcade room, nice pool, but a little small for the size of the resort imo with waterslide. Loved the bay view of this place, so peaceful! Snow White dinner is a must (been there three times I think), and Whispering Canyon was just fine for breakfast (don't ask for ketchup!). We really enjoyed our room except for that smell of the water when taking a shower. Comfortable beds, great AC, strong water pressure for shower, and really liked their shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap liquid, and lotion. I usually stay at the Contemporary for Magic Kingdom or Disney Dolphin/Swan for Epcot/Hollywood Studios, but it's less crowded here compared to Contemporary and cheaper too.

The pool was great, very well staffed, though one of the hot tubs was not working throughout our trip which was a bummer. The quick service option was great, had plenty of options. The building itself was beautiful, especially the lobby. Transportation to all 4 of the parks was quick and easy, I never felt like I had to walk excessively far to our resorts bus stops. Although the resort itself was large, the bus stop seemed very central and we never had to wait for an elevator. Nor did we have to wait to get a table/pool chair. My main complaint with the resort was the noise level - they pipe in very loud music every night around 9 p.m. for about 10 minutes, which was awful if you're a light sleeper and wanting to get up early the next day. You can also hear the Magic Kingdom fireworks every night from the resort, but that's to be expected if you're staying in a MK area resort and I didn't find it to be disruptive. Overall, I could definitely see myself coming back to the Wilderness Lodge, the resort was incredible besides the music every night (which is really very minor considering it only went on for about 10 minutes a day). It's a great option if you're planning to spend a lot of time at Magic Kingdom.

We were also willing to vacuum it ourselves or move rooms. Then she said she'd send someone (who arrived 10min later and thankfully took care of it). 2. Also, When we initially reserved our room we told them it was our daughter's birthday so would like something in the room. When we checked in nothing had been acknowledged or prepared. We asked about it and the front desk said they saw the note (awkward pause). We asked if something could be left in the room and she took out an order form for me to pick items. We chose cheese platter and ballon's which totaled $50+. She said we didn't need to be in the room (go to park normally) and they leave it in the room. Day after day nothing even after repeatedly reminding them. On day 4 out of our 5night stay they left a chocolate cupcake and a couple of strawberries. We called to let them know that's not what we ordered. The next day we got the cheese plate (pictured). It was left out all day (despite us having a refrigerator in the room) so when we got back to the room that night it was hot. Not sure how food safe that was. Definitely not worth the money or the hassle. We could've done better just going to the grocery store.

Yet for a property with its reputation, I left feeling that the experience didn't quite match the expectations. The resort makes a lovely first impression. The elegant common areas overlook a courtyard, fountain, pool, and greenery. The pools and fitness center were welcome amenities, and the staff made us feel welcome. Our guest ambassador was attentive throughout our visit. One logistical advantage is the complimentary shuttle to the Disney parks. Unfortunately, there's no comparable service to Universal Orlando. I appreciate that guests paying resort prices may be comfortable arranging their own transportation, but vacations are also about relaxing and minimizing logistics. A Universal shuttle would be a meaningful improvement for guests visiting both. We arrived around noon and understood that early check-in couldn't be guaranteed. Initially, we were told the room might not be ready before 1 p.m.; ultimately, it wasn't available until after 3 p.m. That's within normal check-in expectations, but still disappointing given our Omni Champion status and booking through The Edit collection. We also received no room upgrade. The room itself was decent and functional, but rather standard for a resort aspiring to luxury positioning. The bed was on the firmer side of soft; I prefer a plush mattress, though it wasn't uncomfortable. The sheets, comforter, and pillows were all good. Nothing was wrong with the room, but little felt memorable. Our reservation included a daily breakfast buffet, priced at $33 per person, along with vouchers for two café drinks each day, including alcoholic options. We usually grabbed a juice and soda before heading to the parks. These inclusions added real value. A first-night welcome platter of candied bacon and sweets was another appreciated gesture. The outdoor amenities were attractive, although the Jacuzzi deserves a design rethink. Its seats sit so high that much of your upper body remains out of the water, instead of a soak near shoulder level. Worse, the jets don't align particularly well with your body when seated. To submerge or benefit from the jets, you have to recline at awkward angles. A hot tub should be relaxing, not an exercise in finding a workable position! The resort also advertised a two-hour driving-range special for $25 for up to six people, with complimentary parking on select days. An appealing value, but with Disney and Universal on our itinerary, we prioritized getting our money's worth from the parks. Perhaps my expectations were shaped by years of Marriott loyalty. As a former Ambassador Elite guest traveling more than 300 days annually, including as many as 27 countries in a year, I've experienced extraordinary recognition, including Presidential Suite upgrades, private pools, butler service, and accommodations costing more than $10,000 a night. I don't expect that everywhere, but it shows what exceptional loyalty recognition can look like. On this first Omni visit, even with elevated status, we couldn't secure early check-in or an upgraded room. While the staff delivered excellent service, the experience felt closer to an upscale Renaissance than the JW Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, or Four Seasons tier to which Omni is sometimes compared. Ultimately, we had a very good stay, thanks largely to the team's hospitality. The setting is attractive, the breakfast benefits are useful, and the Disney transportation is convenient. But between the ordinary room, limited recognition of status, missing Universal shuttle, and awkward Jacuzzi design, I wasn't quite persuaded to shift my loyalty to Omni. A good resort, certainly; just not the exceptional experience I'd anticipated.

Being our flight got stuck on tarmac for an extra 90 minutes due to weather, we didnt get to our rental til after Midnight. When arriving we all were exhausted, but not before realizing that the home we rented was infested with cockroaches and being told the home was all ready for us, it was not! The pool was not working and wouldn't be available for use til a day before we were due to check out. The next morning we called Margaritaville and not sure who we talk to but whoever it was, was made aware of our situation, and they acted immediately and got us a cottage that we were able to get into ASAP. We have been to Orlando Margaritaville before and am very thankful for the customer service and understanding of the desperate need to get into a place that was acceptable. We absolutely love Margaritaville Orlando and will definitely be back and recommend it to all we know. We never make that mistake again and just book with Margaritaville Orlando. Never disappoint and absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for who booked us and saved our family vacation!

Since there was a Passholder Discount, we took advantage of some great rates and tried a new…read moreresort. It is conveniently located close to the Riviera and Skyliner so plenty of choices for dining and park access. We loved the resort layout with many countries represented in clusters of building, pools and quick service dining. We stayed in Trinidad Bld 38. I only gave the location a 4 star because it was almost the furthest away from the main building and we were on the 2nd floor with only walk up. There was disney bussing and inter-resort shuttles and laundry just outside our building. Though there were only two of us, the room and bath was bright and clean, had a queen bed, couch bed and a pull down which could have easily slept 5. Everyone we came in contact with was a delight to deal with and we splattered cast compliments on the app all around. The main lobby was bustling with kid activities and disney movies. Coffee, sandwich, quick service and Sebastians a family style restaurant was also available. Would definitely stay there again just may rethink the room location. Enjoy!

This was the first Disney property we ever stayed in as a couple with kids. We chose it because the…read moretheme seemed interesting for our oldest son and it was promoted as a mid tier resort. 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.
