Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites Review

  • This is my hopefully comprehensive review of Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites. Located on the crossover of International Drive and Universal Boulevard...opposite Endless Summer Dockside Inn. It's a 5 minute drive away from the parks, so not an on-site resort.
    Within this review I'll be covering transportation options to Universal Studios Orlando, dining, room features, pricing, hidden fees, the pool area, resort benefits...but most of all, I'll be focusing equally on the pros and cons to booking this resort. I'll be throwing in some tips I've picked up at the end of the video. If you have any tips of your own, it'd be awesome if you could throw some in the comments :)

    This was spot on. When I stayed here I loved it, great value for money, and as we were staying for two weeks with a car they offered us at check in a reduced parking fee, didn't even ask. Staff were friendly and really clean rooms. The pool area was lovely and loved the under water speakers. Buses were frequent and when we went to the disney parks we drove to disney springs to park for free and then got a free bus to the nearest hotel to the park we were visiting, had to be organised to do that but saves on travel. Planning to go back and stay there again.

    Endless summer is the perfect hotel for a budget trip to Orlando. I know there is cheaper hotels lower on the budget scale, but endless summer is new, has loads of facilities and its clean and the pool area is fantastic. I'm staying at cabana bay on my upcoming trip and id like to experience aventura but I think id def return to endless summer again

    I've stayed there and it was a great deal. I'm going back. It was a new hotel and the price was amazing. For Florida residents it was only $78.00 night on weekdays which is what I have spent for an older hotel farther away. Since covid was still going on, and they were trying to get people back into the parks, they removed the parking fee. Since parking was $25 at the park per day, the hotel basically cost me $28.

    We stayed at Surf Side in Jan 2022 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Had a suite which worked great for us. We really enjoyed the breakfasts at the Beach Break; they were much better than the ones we had at the Polynesian at Disney later in the week. The only time we ate there was the night we arrived after a horrendous travel day (9 hour departure delay). It was about 15 minutes before they closed; they offered to fix us a fresh burger/pizza, but we were too tired just got something already prepared. So the food wasn't great, but the service was superb. The rooms were clean and very comfortable; didn't have an issue with noise. The bus transportation to the parks was quick and efficient. We are planning another trip in January 2024 and plan on staying here again.

    My daughter and I stayed at Dockside the last week of June. We had the suite. I stayed in the bedroom and she stayed in the main room. We were on the 10th floor with no floors above us. It was quiet the entire trip. Our view was facing the front of the Dockside entrance and the bus stops were directly below us. No noise at all. With no carpet, it was extremely noisy in the food court seating area. I wasn't a fan of the elevators, being 4 in the same location. A few times there were crowds waiting to board the elevators to their rooms. The food was mediocre at best. I feel that Disney's value resorts food courts have better foods than Endless Summer had. I mean it was ok, but not over the top. The pool was just a pool. I mean what does adults do in pools these days? We get in, get wet, and squat down in the water up to our necks and go, "ho hum" and get out. I did however enjoy one night just sitting in a lounge chair by the pool for a while at night just watching people; mostly girls. LOL. The room was fine to me. The bed slept good, but I needed more covers. I did get cold in there throughout the night. The buses were great. Just a few minutes away from the hub to City Walk. Very convenient. The buses were never overly crowded either. maybe once, but not like Disney's buses, which I can't stand anymore, because they pack people in like sardines and the whining of small kids because they are tired, and the parents DO NOTHING to quieten them down! I avoid Disney buses as much as possible, but we do still use them when resort hopping during the day. That way they aren't crowded and no whiny kids to deal with. Universal has certainly stepped up their game with the buses. There was literally a very, very short wait time for a bus. They ran like clockwork. Disney buses, can keep you waiting 10, 15, 20 minutes for one. Bottom line: I liked Endless Summer Dockside resort. We never walked over to Surfside to check it out. Looks somewhat the same, with some differences. I enjoyed our stay there. Here's the big question: would I ever stay at Dockside, or even Surfside again? Maybe, and that's a slight maybe, but most likely probably not. But I do want to stay at Cabana Bay and even Sapphire Falls and Portofino Bay.

    Thanks for this one. I'm staying at Dockside in a couple weeks when it opens. Good to know about the Walgreens.
    If you can deal with it, one I would really like reviewed is the BHostel within Days Inn. I have looked up everything I can and it appears they are 4 bed rooms and since they are attached to the back of Days Inn you get a pool and the pics show many transportation options (scooters, bikes, and on the trolly line). I'm really interested whether those public transportation options are really available (since the scooters and bikes can be taken and left anywhere), and how the neighborhood is, as I saw a review that said "people outside selling weeds!" which... to be honest I'm not sure if that was supposed to be a pro or a con. :)

      @mazzy2121 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@blaster-zy7xx So, Dockside never opened. Universal cancelled that and one other reservation I made after re-open to Dockside, and it is still closed today.
      I did end up staying at Surfside one of those times (Uni moves you to another hotel). The beds weren't great. I feel like you can get nice(r) mattresses pretty cheap now and they could have shopped better for that. But the front desk staff were the friendliest and most helpful of any of the Uni hotels I've stayed at (Cabana Bay, Aventura, and now here). The store staff was 'meh' - way better at Aventura. They upgraded me to a suite on the 9th floor cuz my room wasn't ready at 4pm check in, and I heard no noise or anything but I see that's a common complaint. I can't speak to that, probably because of being on the top floor.
      Anyway, for the overall look I would still choose Dockside if I had that choice but I'm thinking of another trip and of the choices that are open right now I will for sure pick Surfside.

      @@mazzy2121 Glad you got to go. I stayed at Surfside and we were very pleased. It was pretty empty so that was nice.
      Compared to spending $25 a day for parking for two day, a $78 dollar hotel that included parking (only because they were trying to get people back into the parks) was a great deal!

  • @mazzy2121
    @mazzy2121 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you for this!! I was scheduled to stay at Dockside but they have pushed the opening - again (this is my second attempt at a reservation there that has been cancelled by Uni). They automatically switched me over to Surfside, but IMO Dockside just looks nicer and the pool looks nicer and the menu sounds more appealing so I wasn't excited about Surfside. I'm going to check out your Cabana Bay vid next since I switched my reservation to there (but there is still time to change).

    • @TheFrugalBrit
      @TheFrugalBrit  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’ve stayed here and I’m pretty picky. I’d rate it at as a 4 star. The restaurant is very good. Avis car rental onsite. Their blankets are not duvets but more like a sheet. That would be my only complaint. Personally, I like a cozy sleep and a duvet is something that adds to that. Everything else was very good and reasonable.

    We stayed three days at Endless Summer and three days at Disney All-Star Movies in Summer 2019. I would give my stay at Endless Summer a 7.5 out of 10. It was spanking brand new and clean, the staff were super nice and the onsite restaurant was okay. The towels were small, super thin and nubby - a big negative.
    I would give Disney All-Star Movies resort a 8.5 out of 10. My room was newly renovated with a double bed along with a double Murphy bed, along with a coffee maker. It felt a level above Endless Summer. The on-site restaurant was better and had more variety. There was renovation going on at the nearby wing, so the elevators were filthy. We just used the stairs.

    Hi, Great Vlog as always.
    I had this booked for my May holiday this year for 10 nights and then cancelled it, one of the reason the parking price.
    We are not doing any off the Disney or universal parks this time.
    After 13 visits we have out grown them this visit but we are doing 4 nights at Cocoa beach and 10 on international drive but changed from this Hotel to the Avanti resort, we have stayed at the Avanti the last 3 times we have come.
    Like your Vlog said great if your doing Universal for early entry but some of the reviews and the parking put us off.

    I find it strange that the resort will deliver pizza from its own kitchen to you because Cabana Bay instead hires a family pizza shop to do the deliveries for them!

      That is strange. Maybe they wanted to outsource it given the size of Cabana Bay?

    I dont really have any interest to stay here because it is the farthest resort from the universal parks so I think I'll be sticking with cabana bay thanks

      I get what you mean, however it is popular with people who want to be close to I-Drive.

    If you will be parking your own car or a rental, they raised the parking fee too 30$ a day..

      @@Bonsp1 that’s insane, they’re still advertising it as $15 online though. When you get there, I would have a word and say that you were misled into believing it was $15. I reckon they let it slide.

      Yeah I like to have towels etc refreshed, but I don't need a thorough clean every day.
