Universal Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn & Suites
TripadvisorBased on 6,874 reviews
Bringing SoCal vibes to Orlando
Beach-inspired Surfside Inn & Suites has an appealing coastal style, an easy breezy attitude, and some nice-to-have Universal Orlando perks.
While Surfside Inn & Suites is the smaller part of the two hotels that make up Universal Endless Summer Resort, with 750 rooms and suites, this hotel is hardly small. The two-bedroom suites are the highlight – they sleep six, but if you’re travelling with older kids or teens and want more space, these suites are a terrific option. They’ll also love the laid-back, surf-chic styling – it doesn’t feel too kiddy, but there’s still a sense of whimsy. Things are a little more pared back when it comes to pools and eating – there’s a single (albeit large) pool and a simple food court-style restaurant. But frankly, that could be all you need anyway.

An incredible way to kick off your Maldives holiday
“There's something pretty special about travelling by seaplane. The view from the sky is extraordinary - tiny specs of island and shades of blue that barely look real.”
Jeremy FisherKuoni Travel Expert
The iconic, mile-long sandbank
Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.
Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world
“If snorkelling and diving isn't for you, it's possible to catch a glimpse of the reef from a glass-bottomed boat instead.”

Rooms and suites
Bright and light and decked out in coastal blues, there’s a lot to like about the style of the beach-themed rooms. This is one of Universal Orlando’s affordable hotels, so there’s a simplicity to them, but you’ll have everything you need for a relaxing stay – plus the beds are famously comfy. Although the standard rooms sleep four, the suites can often prove great value and almost double your space – worth a look for larger families or if your kids are older.

Questions? Sorted.
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
