Universal Stella Nova Resort and Universal Terra Luna Resort

[JT3000]

low price point isn’t an excuse for lack of ambition

I mean... it kind of is, considering those two things are directly correlated. A more ambitious hotel would also be more expensive.

Fair enough I suppose I just wish universal would try a cool themed hotel that really transports me to a specific time and place

Like Cabana Bay?

Portofino, Hard Rock.........

I hope this is their last "basic/low themed" resort for a while. I can excuse this resort and Endless Summer as Universal needed to boost their room capacity, but they really need to diversify their themes for later resorts.

I'd love to see them go back to building a value resort comparable to Cabana Bay or something more exotic like Portofino Bay or Royal Pacific.

The theme here seems to be…white.

I’m sure someone will like it.

Portofino, Hard Rock.........

Is the time and place Hard Rock transports you to the 90s?

From the lobby bands I'd say the 80"s but overall it is the age of rock and roll

The tiling is great- but it's like putting expensive rims on your car which you don't get to see or enjoy while driving.

I was at Stella Nova a little bit ago. Very solid beer selection in the lobby bar.

I’ve watched multiple first day visits and posts. IMHO this: (1) looks like a good value for your money; (2) has a very consistent space theme of a level consistent with the price being paid; and (3) is more interesting and affordable than any new rooms at WDW - which are DVC. Will consider staying here when we visit, by which time all the new build issues will have been straightened out.
On the new build issues, in the postings I’ve reviewed, what I don’t hear about is what or if Universal/Lowes took actions to make it right. If my hotel room never had hot water, I would expect something from the provider, like - changing rooms, food or other vouchers, points, a free night, or a full or partial refund. I’m curious to know what steps they’ve taken to address these, as that doesn’t come up.
