Our take
I would book the Fairfield Inn & Suites for families who want a recently renovated base within minutes of Universal Orlando Resort and Volcano Bay. The family suites and the outdoor pool are a good place to recover after a long park day, and the 24-hour fitness centre suits early risers. SeaWorld is a short drive away. The hotel works as a launchpad, not a destination, so anyone wanting a water park on site should look elsewhere.
- ✓Book your Universal Orlando Resort and Volcano Bay tickets in advance, especially during school holidays, to secure your entry and save time.
- ✓Plan your park days to take advantage of early entry if available through your ticket type, beating the crowds to popular slides.
- ✓Consider using ride-sharing services or the hotel's proximity to public transport for easy access to the parks without parking hassles.
