Universal’s Endless Summer Resort – Surfside Inn and Suites

Surfside is the sister hotel to the Dockside Inn and Suites and is Universal resort’s second value hotel. It’s much smaller than Dockside and has a beach & surf theme, so you can really embrace the feeling of summer and relaxation while you are on your Universal vacation! Its Two-Bedroom Suites, sleeping up to six, mirror Dockside’s layout with three queen-sized beds, a kitchenette, and beach-inspired decor across two rooms. I love how the surf-themed artwork brings a fun, summery feel, making these suites a hit with families looking for a laid-back stay. The design is practical yet playful, perfect for a budget-friendly escape. Amenities include:

Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort

Cabana Bay Beach Resort transports guests to a retro Florida paradise, complete with lazy rivers, pools, and a bowling alley that my kids adore. Its Standard Family Suites, sleeping up to six, are a budget-savvy choice with a practical layout. I found the kitchenette—with a microwave, mini-fridge, and sink—a lifesaver for quick family meals, adding convenience for families on the go. The colorful, vintage decor gives these suites a playful charm that everyone in my family found irresistible.

• Standard Family Suites: Two queen-sized beds, a pull-out sofa, and a privacy partition between bedroom and living areas (430 sq ft), sleeping up to six, with a kitchenette. Available in standard and accessible options.

Conclusion

Booking a suite is perfect if you are traveling with kids, multiple generations, or if you are just looking to splurge on a special couples trip! There are many suite options across all the Universal hotels, and as the hotel increases in quality, so do the suites. Picking the best suite for you will depend on what experience you want from your vacation: whether you want a themed suite for your kids, a hospitality suite designed for entertaining, or a Hard Rock Hotel suite for jamming out. Universal has it all! And if you’re planning to also spend some time at Disney World, be sure to check out the Disney World hotel suites or deluxe villas for similar family-sized accommodations at the house of mouse.

Booking a trip can be complicated and I always recommend using a travel agent to ensure that you get the most value out of your trip and have the best experience. I always recommend The Vacationeer because they are one of the best in the business for planning Universal vacations!
