Looking for a Caribbean getaway just a stone’s throw away from one of the world’s best theme parks?

Universal Orlando’s newest onsite hotel, the Loews Sapphire Falls Resort, is now accepting reservations.

Set to open in July 2016, the 1,000 room hotel is the fifth Universal-owned guest property, bringing onsite capacity up to 5,200 guests.

This island-themed resort will feature Universal’s largest beach-entry pool at 16,000 square feet. With a white sand beach, water slide, interactive splash area, private cabanas and a fire pit—guests may never want to leave the lushly landscaped deck area.

Complimentary theme park access is available for guests every morning via water taxi or shuttle bus. And all Sapphire Falls Resort guests automatically receive Early Park Access to Universal Orlando Studios—an hour before park opens for general admission.

Picked up too many goodies at the parks? Merchandise delivery right to your hotel room is standard for hotel guests at all Universal owned properties.

And if hunger strikes, dining options range from the full-service Caribbean themed Amatista Cookhouse to a rum-themed lobby lounge with light fare for kids and adults.

Rates at the Loews property start at $176 per night for a seven-night stay or $206 for four nights during the popular summer season, with rates as low a $119 for a seven-night stay during the late fall and winter.
