Universal Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn & Suites
Bright and breezy
Although this is one of Universal Orlando’s more affordable hotels, some design features help make it feel special, with high ceilings and chic décor.
The Dockside Inn & Suites forms over half of the Universal Endless Summer Resort, complementing the Surfside Inn & Suites. If you’re trying to decide between the two, it’s helpful to know that Dockside is larger and has two pools and a splash zone. There are subtle differences in the theme, and some might prefer an oh-so-slightly quieter ambience at Surfside. Either way, they both offer the same coveted two-bedroom suites, which are great for families who want to share a single space rather than book interconnecting rooms.
Why we love Universal Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn & Suites
-
Around half of the 2,000 or so rooms are two-bedroom suites that sleep up to six thanks to a sofa bed in one of the rooms. We also love them for families of four, with parents in one room and the kids in another. It just gives everyone a little bit more space.
-
The rooms, while simple, are well-designed and feel soothing, thanks to a duck egg colour palette, surf-chic styling, and sunset prints. Their unusually high ceilings also make them feel bigger and brighter.
-
This is an official Universal Orlando hotel, so you’ll enjoy some great perks, including early access to the theme parks and the handy ability to charge food and merchandise purchased in the park to your room. Complimentary buses will shuttle you to and from the theme parks.
-
There are two swimming pools here and a splash pad that’s perfect for smaller children. Look out for poolside games and activities – a schedule is available at the front desk.
Rooms
Although the rooms are simple, they’re still stylish, with a beachy feel and soothing colour palette. The beds are comfy, and the bathrooms feel bright and modern. All rooms benefit from higher-than-average ceilings, helping to create a greater sense of space. Families of four can be accommodated in the standard rooms but consider upgrading to a suite to get a handy kitchenette and a separate bedroom for the kids.

Pier 8 Market is a handy, casual food court to grab meals and snacks. You’ve also got a Starbucks if you’d prefer to pick up a coffee and pastry to have on the complimentary shuttle on the way to the parks. If you’re planning a day by the pool, a beach bar has you covered, and if you’re on your way back in from a day out, the lobby bar will welcome you home, and then you can order pizza to your room, thanks to the hotel’s delivery service.
