Universal Orlando Resort, Florida

Universal Orlando Resort offers an unforgettable blend of adventure, entertainment, and luxury, making it an ideal destination for families, couples, and travelers of all ages. With multiple world-class theme parks, immersive attractions, and beautifully designed resort hotels, there is something for everyone to enjoy. From stepping into the magical world of Harry Potter to exploring the colorful landscapes of Super Nintendo World at the newly opened Epic Universe, every corner of Universal brings beloved stories and characters to life. Guests can experience thrilling attractions, incredible live entertainment, and themed environments that make it easy to spend an entire vacation immersed in the excitement. 

One of the highlights of a Universal vacation is the variety of resort accommodations available. Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort is a particularly fun option, featuring a nostalgic 1950s and 1960s-inspired atmosphere, colorful architecture, two expansive swimming pools, a lazy river, waterslide, and even an on-site bowling alley. Other wonderful accommodations include Loews Sapphire Falls Resort, offering a tropical Caribbean-inspired atmosphere, and the luxurious Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, designed to resemble the charming Italian seaside village of Portofino. For guests seeking modern luxury and convenient access to the parks, the Hard Rock Hotel and the spectacular Universal Helios Grand Hotel are also excellent choices. Each resort offers its own unique atmosphere, allowing guests to customize their vacation experience. 

Dining is another experience worth looking forward to, with restaurants that are just as entertaining as the attractions themselves. At Epic Universe, Toadstool Cafe in Super Nintendo World is a must-visit, featuring whimsical Mushroom Kingdom décor and creative dishes inspired by Mario and his friends. Over in Universal Studios Florida, Illumination's Minion Cafe serves playful menu items inspired by the beloved Minions, including Otto's Noodle Bowl and Fluffy's Unicorn Cupcake. Guests can also enjoy iconic dining experiences throughout the parks, from the famous Butterbeer and traditional British-inspired fare in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter to classic American favorites at Mel's Drive-In. Outside the parks, Universal CityWalk offers even more options, including The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen, where elaborate milkshakes and decadent desserts are just as memorable as the meals.

Beyond the dining and accommodations, Universal's attractions are what truly make the destination special. Guests can explore the magical streets of Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, experience the excitement of Jurassic Park, and enjoy thrilling rides such as Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure and Jurassic World VelociCoaster. Epic Universe adds an entirely new dimension to the experience, featuring five immersive worlds, including Super Nintendo World, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, Dark Universe, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic. Whether spending the day enjoying world-class attractions, relaxing beside a resort pool, or discovering something new around every corner, Universal Orlando offers a vacation filled with excitement, memorable experiences, and plenty of reasons to return.

Puerto Rico
Act 60

Act 60 just got extended 20 more years

0% on capital gains, dividends, and interest for qualifying residents. Act 38-2026 extends the program to 2055 — apply before Jan 1, 2027 to lock the 0% rate before it steps up to 4%. Property purchase required within 2 years.

Freehold Ownership

The simplest foreign purchase you'll ever make

Common law lets U.S. buyers hold freehold title outright — no trust, no local partner required. USD-pegged since 1976, no capital gains tax. Most resort condos are leasehold, so title search matters.

No visa needed under 30 days. English is the official language.
