Universal Studios Florida Hotels Resort Fees

Nearly every hotel near Universal Studios charges a nightly resort fee. This typically covers the following: pool towels, land line phone, wifi, and parking may or may not be covered.

The resort fees for Universal Studios Florida hotels range from $10 per night to as much as $50 per night. Typically, if a resort fee is over $25 a night the property probably has a water park attached to the pool area. Orlando hotels with waterparks or lazy rivers tend to have much higher insurance cost associated with having the waterpark so they typically charge a much higher resort fee to offset the cost.

If a hotel charges a resort fees we always will disclaim this fee on the hotels detail page. We do not like hidden fees or shady marketing practices. On a few of our hotels, we charge the resort fee at the time of checkout. By doing this we have negotiated and even lower price for our guests. By charging the resort fee before you arrive to the hotel the check-in process is 68% faster and this efficiency means even more savings for you and your travel partners.
