Exploring Universal Orlando: The Future Awaits at Stella Nova Resort

Last month, I visited Universal Orlando Resorts to evaluate the new Stella Nova Resort, and the experience surpassed my expectations.

The resort offers standard rooms with either a park view or pool view. We stayed in a park view room, overlooking the parking lot and providing distant views of Helios Resort and Epic Universe. It is worth noting that rooms with park views might experience some noise from buses, whereas pool view rooms could offer a quieter stay. The pool area is expansive, offering ample seating and an attractive backdrop.

You will enter into a wide open lobby, where you will find a bar lounge, market, food court, Avis rental car desk, gift shop with lots of Epic Universe merchandise and a vacation planning desk. The guest rooms follow an "out of space" theme with all-white furniture, 2 queen beds, basic amenities (coffee/tea etc.), and amble storage space. I found the beds to be comfortable but the pillows were not. Overall the rooms were nice, did feel a bit tight compare to other resorts.

The lobby market and food court provided a variety of dining options, and the overall quality of the food was commendable. We did encounter an issue with cold eggs on both mornings; however, this did not significantly impact our experience. Given that the resort had only recently opened, it is reasonable to expect that such minor issues will be addressed over time.
In summary, our stay at Stella Nova Resort was enjoyable, and we intend to return. The most notable advantages of the resort include the convenience of the shuttle service and its proximity to the new theme park.
