Loews Sapphire Falls Resort

Loews Sapphire Falls Resort Information: Rooms, Pools, Dining, and More

Universal's fifth on-site Loews hotel, the Sapphire Falls Resort, brings a sunny Caribbean island vibe to the Moderate market with its 1,000 rooms (including 77 suites) opened in summer 2016. Sandwiched between Royal Pacific and Cabana Bay—both physically and price-wise—Sapphire Falls sports all of the amenities of Universal’s three Deluxe hotels, including water taxi transportation to the parks, with the crucial exception of complimentary Express Passes.

Water figures heavily at Sapphire Falls, whose namesake waterfalls form the scenic centerpiece of the resort. The 15,600-square-foot zero-entry main pool features 3,500 square feet of white-sand beaches, a waterslide, children’s play areas, fire pits, and cabanas for rent. A fitness room holds a sauna and hot tub. For dinner, Amatista Cookhouse offers table-service Caribbean dining, with an open kitchen and waterfront views. Club Katine serves tapas-style small plates near the pool bar’s fire pit. New Dutch Trading Co., an island-inspired grab-and-go marketplace, has ice cream, coffee, and packaged snacks, and Strong Water Tavern in the lobby has rum tastings and table-side ceviche.

The rooms range from 364 square feet in a standard queen or king to 529 square feet in the 36 Kids’ Suites, up to 1,358 square feet in the 15 Hospitality Suites. All rooms include a 49-inch flat-panel HDTV, mini-fridge, and coffeemaker.

Sapphire Falls also contains 131,000 square feet of meeting space and a business center. Covered walkways connect to a parking structure, which in turn connects to the meeting facilities at Royal Pacific, making the new sister properties ideal for conventions.
