ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT INFO...FAQ and more......

Hey

As patster described above, you could get the I-4, newest Universal hotels and Sapphire Falls in a view.

This is from the Club Lounge on the 7th floor. It does look quite nice at night all lit up, you can see right down to the Orlando Eye.

If you request a pool view you can see some of the park including the castle.

Our room is on the 6th floor.

Hey Schumigirl! Do you have any current pictures of the RP Hospitality Suites? Or are the ones on the Universal Website current? I get conflicting photos when I google images.

Not sure what happened to the link.....

If you Google the Loews Royal Pacific website, not Universal, and go to rooms and suites, the updated Hospitality Suite pictures are there.

Alright, thanks from from help from here I have requested:

A room in towers 1 or 3-don't want to be in the pet tower because of a bad experience we had at the Hard Rock Hotel-our room wrecked of pet urine.

-a room with a pool view if possible on a higher floor in hopes I MIGHT be able to see the hogwarts castle and a few fireworks from our room?

-I am just a bit bummed we HAD to book a standard room because of my disability. Would love to have some type of view. What are my chances? Should i ask to be close to transportation or elevators? I just don't want to put in too many requests but I do NEED a room with a roll in shower because of my disability and those are only available in the standard category. Does anyone have any more tips for me? We have always stayed on Disney property and have been able to book the room we need with a view, not just a request. A bit nervous actually. aI have called the resort to try and request what I need and the last time I did that, the person got very frustrated and began to yell at me. Other times I have called and they have been wonderful!! After I was yelled at, I called the regular room reservations number and put my requests in. We are leaving on 10/24 for my 37th birthday trip!

You are better off by calling the hotel directly
Front desk employees are extremely helpful and would never raise their voice to you
it’s a professional team that works the phones at the Loews hotels

Did you book water/pool view? Pretty sure that's a separate booking category at RPR that's more expensive than standard view, so maybe be prepared to pay the upcharge if they even have any available when you check in.

Standard room views aren't anything special, but you'll likely overlook the hotel grounds, which are nice. I didn't have an issue with my standard view last time, although I could overlook an air vent and not care. I would ask to be on floor 3--this is the lobby level (it's not on floor 1) and will be best if you want to walk to the parks without having to take an elevator. If you want to take the boat though, ask to be on floor 1. Walking to the parks = ask to be close to the lobby. The boat dock is closest to Tower 1 and will have the shortest walk from there. I was in Tower 2 (the pet tower) and never heard or noticed anything, although I shared a similar concern regarding noise/smell. If I didn't know it was the pet tower, I wouldn't have thought twice about it. I would worry less about that and ask to be on the floor that you want (and in Tower 1 or 3 if you want to avoid the pets, but they ignored that request from me).

Hi guys! Question…
Can you add club level service to a king suite? We’re interested in club level service on our next trip, but don’t want to lose the space we’re used to in the king suites.

I`m sure there`s usually a choice of King Suite, or King Suite with Club Access. I don`t look at booking sites, but assume it`s still the same.

Nice to see you again too......C&Jx2......I still think of you as your old name.....lol.....

I’ve never had that option come up. Maybe I’ll give them a call when I book. Thanks! Happy to be planning another UOR trip. We were trying for WDW, but with all of the changes we’re waiting for a while for the kinks to be worked out.

Since staying at RPR and wanting to take full advantage of the EE, I should be heading through IOA first, correct? To hit Harry Potter and Hagrid's ride? Best way to go to get over there from RPR is walking, correct?

When are you going? Usually only 1 of the parks has EE unless it is a very busy time of year. So it would depend on which park has EE during your stay.

I'd say that's correct as far as heading to IOA first & you could boat or walk, your preference

I would definitely try Hagrid's first in that case.

Thanks. I will check out the touring lines app more in the mornings and see what they look like when EE kicks in.

If my FIL comes to visit one day for a few hours to eat with us (but not neccessarily at the hotel) will he have to pay for parking or is there a visitor pass?

 

[macraven]

There will be a parking fee
if he parks at the hotel or in the parking lots

Hi all, hubby and I will be staying tomorrow at Royal Pacific... We are taking advantage of the express pass so flying in late tomorrow and sleeping there and then getting up early for Universal. I might have missed it but does anyone know what park is open early this Monday? I believe we get to be in one of the parks an hour before? We've never been to Universal so super new at all of this. Thanks
