It’s seen as a tropical escape at the Universal Orlando Resort and its pool and sandy beach are real highlights.
Here, we take a closer look at the popular things to do at Loews Sapphire Falls.

Here, guests will find modern cardo machines including treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals, as well as strength training equipment including resistance weight machines and free weights.
Out in the open air, guests can enjoy the resort’s jogging (walking) track.

Games and arcades
Keeping the kids entertained at Sapphire Falls is pretty easy, there’s fun and games to be had.
Poolside, the hotel entertainment staff put on ping pong and hula hoop contests, whilst indoors guests can enjoy the arcade games.
Or take a water taxi
If all that is not enough, guests can take a complimentary water taxi from Sapphire Falls to City Walk where, besides the theme parks, there’s mini-golf, escape rooms, cinema, a karaoke bar, and live music venues.
The water taxi itself is well worth taking, and it's a ‘must do’, at least once, for all guests during their stay at Sapphire Falls.
Thoughts …
Sapphire Falls, like pretty much all of the Universal Orlando resort hotels, provides guests with much more than a place to stay close to the theme parks.
