Universal Orlando has announced guests can now book reservations for the Loews Sapphire Falls Resort, set to open in summer 2016.

The first available dates for booking rooms at the new 1,000-room Caribbean-themed hotel is July 14, 2016, though Universal has not yet called this date the “grand opening.” Details have not yet been released if the entire hotel will be open by that date or if it will open in phases, like the Cabana Bay Beach Resort previously did.

Sapphire Falls is the fifth hotel at Universal Orlando, bringing the total number of on-site hotel rooms to 5,200.

New renderings and concept art have been released showing off more of the upcoming hotel.

The hotel will feature Universal Orlando’s largest on-site, zero-entry pool at 16,000 square-feet, with a white sand beach, a water slide, cabanas and a fire pit.
