Which Universal moderate for ease of access?

Assuming we end up going this year and not having to cancel I'm booking a room onsite for my 22 & 15 year old to use after their first night at HHN which would you recommend for ease of access out of Cabana Bay, Aventura or Sapphire falls please?

We've only stayed at HRH & RPH so don't know the walk / transport to the others, as they're going alone this night the priority for me is the easy route back after HHN.

I can vouch for Sapphire Falls, absolutely lovely hotel and just a 5 minute walk further on than RPR. The boat service does go straight to the hotel as well so an easy trip whether you walk or take the boat. Aventura is right next door to SF but Cabana Bay is across the Road from both of them.

I have not been yet but I know cabana bay is bus only no water taxi and I think the walk is over a very busy road.

As said Sapphire Falls has a water taxi and safe walking route.

Aventura is not on the water route so again has no water taxi and I believe the walk is a good 20 minuites so that or busses.

I think I would book Sapphire Falls as it means they can choose to walk, water taxi or buss depending on queues lengths.

Currently at Sapphire falls and it is very easy to get to the parks, me and dd have walked to the parks a couple of mornings when the boats have been busy and have got to citywalk in 10 minutes with a brisk walk and 15 at normal pace. The boats are busy at park closing and can take 20 minutes to get one if you don’t want to walk and it is a lovely hotel.

Although aventura advertises as buses to the parks it is a couple of minutes walk to Sapphire falls lobby from aventuras front door as they share the same drive so you could easily stop there and use the boats or walk.

Do you need to show your room ticket? I am not sure if Aventura guests will be allowed? If we can that will be great.

No you don't need to show anything to use the boats, some people staying at cabana bay use the boats and then cross the road to cabana bay although it does say not to cross the road.
