Universal and hotels...

Twiga6 · 6 Dec 18, 08:09 PM

Evening everyone, a little question.
DS has recently been to Harry Potter world in the UK, and has said he'd quite like to go to the one in Florida.
Can I book a hotel at Universal directly, or only through a "travel partner" as the UK universal website suggests?
Can I book through the US website? Or will it bounce me over to the UK one?
Thank you in advance

Travel bag and BA have some good offers on universal hotels.
If you want front of line passes you must book one of the 3 main ones.
Portofino Bay
Hard rock
Royal Pacific
Lots of uk travel agents have access to these hotels.
We book with who ever gets us the best deal.

You can book direct with Lowes! But sometimes you can get a better deal shopping around.

Thank you for the info.
Last time we went to Florida we booked everything ourselves, so using a travel agent will be a new thing!

I booked Portofino Bay with Expedia, and got cashback through Quidco.

Booked through hotel.com
Used Tesco vouchers to bring cost down.

I�ve booked rpr via hotels.com to get the cashback. They got them to price match myameriaholiday who were cheaper.
I�ve then booked cabana bay via virgin holidays as you get free parking plus other goodies. Also got them to price match.
