Lagoon View Rooms at Sapphire Falls

Pros

Serene and picturesque, the lagoon view rooms offer tranquil water vistas. You can watch the water taxis gracefully glide by, adding to the relaxing ambiance.
Some lagoon views provide direct access to the water taxi dock, ensuring a quick and convenient commute to the theme parks.
Perfect for those who enjoy watching boats or love the idea of waking up to the gentle sound of water.

Cons

It’s essential to choose an upper-level room if you want an unobstructed lagoon view. Lower-level rooms may have their view partially blocked by vegetation or structures.
If you’re situated close to the bridge, be prepared for the water taxis to toot their horns when passing, which can be an early wake-up call.

Pool View Rooms at Sapphire Falls

Pros

Pool view rooms are perfect for those who enjoy being close to the action. You can quickly access the pool area for a refreshing dip or lounge by the poolside.
These rooms often provide a vibrant and lively atmosphere, making them ideal for families with children who love the excitement of the pool area.

Cons

The downside of being close to the pool is the noise factor. While it’s fun during the day, it can get pretty lively, and the soundproofing might not be sufficient for light sleepers.

Standard Rooms at Sapphire Falls

Pros

Standard view rooms are typically budget-friendly and may offer glimpses of the Islands of Adventure theme park, or maybe just the parking lot 🙂
While not as scenic as lagoon views, these rooms provide a comfortable and economical stay, perfect for guests planning to spend most of their time exploring the parks.

Cons

Standard rooms are far from the action, and even sometimes far from the elevator. They may require a longer walk from the entrances to your room, which can be daunting after a long day walking around Universal.
