We stayed at the brand-new Stella Nova Resort from July 2 to 4, and it did not disappoint. The hotel was fresh, clean, and beautifully designed—everything you’d hope for in a brand-new Universal property.
We arrived a few hours before check-in and were pleasantly surprised to find that a room was already available for us. After a chaotic check-in experience at Loews Royal Pacific earlier in the week, this smooth and welcoming start was a huge relief.
We chose Stella Nova because we were visiting Epic Universe and wanted to be closer to the park—and it absolutely delivered. It was just a short, easy walk to the front gates, making our park day stress-free and convenient.
Out of the Universal resorts we’ve stayed at, this was genuinely one of the best. Great value, ideal location, and a peaceful, modern atmosphere. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and are already looking forward to our next visit.
