The resort is the closest hotel to the Universal Theme Parks being just a 5-minute walk. However; you can also catch a complimentary water-taxi if you would prefer not to walk. If you are visiting Islands of Aventure the water-taxi is a slightly quicker option. Free bus transfers are available to Volcano Bay.

Our Opinion on Hard Rock Universal Orlando

You can not beat the location of the Hard Rock Hotel Universal Orlando plus the theming of the resort is outstanding. All facilities are well designed and the grounds are beautiful. Plus the Rock Memorabilia throughout the resort adds to the magic. The resort music is carefully selected to enhance your vacation not drive it. The resort will appeal to young and old plus is great for families.
