🌌 Let’s talk about Universal Stella Nova Resort!
I’ve been staying at Stella Nova this week as part of my Universal Orlando training, and now that I’ve had the chance to actually experience the resort for myself, I can give you a much better idea of what it’s like.
First impression? It is definitely one of the most unique hotels at Universal Orlando.
The entire resort has this sleek, space-inspired design without feeling like you’re sleeping inside a theme park attraction. The rooms continue that theme with the huge galaxy artwork above the beds and the round window that almost feels like you’re looking out of a spaceship.
And can we talk about that pool view from my room? 👀
Around the resort you’ll find a large pool area, quick-service dining café, Nova Bar, and plenty of places to sit and relax. I also really like how bright and open everything feels. It’s futuristic, but still comfortable enough to come back to after a long park day.
One of the biggest reasons Stella Nova should be on your radar, though, is location. This resort was built with Universal Epic Universe vacations in mind because it is right across the street! This makes it a really interesting option for families who want to spend time at Universal Orlando’s newest park.
Would I recommend Stella Nova after staying here myself? Yes, for the right traveler. And that’s exactly why I love experiencing these resorts firsthand. A hotel can look great online, but actually sleeping there, walking the property, checking out the food options, and seeing how everything works makes it much easier for me to help you decide whether it fits your vacation.

Which part would you want to see more of: the rooms, pool, dining, or the resort overall?
