I haven't been able to dig up this information, can you ship a box ahead of time to HRH like you can to Disney hotels?

Thanks!

i don't know the answer to this question.

one of my friends stayed at hrh 6 years ago and had to pay a charge on something that was delivered and held for her.

i don't know if it was the policy then or that if it was held for a week before her arrival. :confused3

i tend to think this might have been the issue.

i read what others have said but if it were me, i would call and ask to speak to the front end manager to find the correct answer.

for the two Loews hotels, no hotel charges to have something sent ahead to wait for your arrival.

Thinking about getting an AP to get the rate at HRH. (RPH is sold out of standard rooms for AP and SMSM rates.) We arrive at MCO about 11:30. Will they let me check in with the online voucher? If not, any suggestions? I don't want to pay to park at the parks and the hotel. Also, do you think RPH will open up? I really am gritting my teeth at Universal's hotel rates. Not use to high class hotel rates. TIA!

Yes, they will let you check in with the voucher. Sometimes more rates open up, it is tough to tell. For September for quite a while there were no standard room at PBH with the AP rate and now there seem to be lots for our dates. The RPR had quite a few at $139 and now I see that those are gone.

Thanks. We are looking 10/17 - 20, so I know HHN are an issue. I was looking at RPR and all of a sudden, it disappeared, so I thought I better book HRH. (I am a total Universal newbie, in case you didn't guess....)

rph fills up fast for the hhn dates.
sometimes you can catch a cancellation for that hotel.

I have been searching high and low to no avail so hopefully someone will be able to help me. If staying on property, can you rent a cabana at any of the 3 Universal hotels? The reason I ask is that we always stay on property and rented a cabana at the HRH in June. We are planning on staying at the RPR and the cabana's look very small and away from the pool which doesn't appeal to us. Being able to rent a cabana at either the HRH or PBH would be ideal as their cabana's are much bigger and closer to the pools. TIA :flower3:

Yes you can - we rent at HRH every trip no matter which on-site we stay at!

Oh thanks so much. This makes us very happy. We rented cabana #9 at the HRH and thought is was great. The location to the pool and rest room was perfect. I also love the fact that they have many pool attendants and no matter who is assigned to your cabana, they all came over to see if we needed anything. They did a great job. :thumbsup2

What did it include and how much for the cabana?

I just booked for Aug. 2012 at RPR but I'm very interested in renting a cabana at HRH. Is there a phone number you can share and #'s of great cabana's, thanks

I have seven people in my family and see that Royal Pacific has a two room suite that will hold seven people. How do I book this room on line,I tried and it does not let me do this? Thanks

The # for cabana rentals at HRH is (407)503-2236. Our favorite cabana is #10 (Stevie Wonder). It is located on the beachside and the closest to the pool, water slide, and volleyball pit. My 3 kids (8),(10) & (10) spend the entire day on the water slide & playing volleyball so it is the best location to keep an eye on them. If you would rather be near the kiddie pool you would want #7 (Yellow Sub) or #8.

I just booked the cabana for March and with the club discount it was $190 (all cabanas on the beahside themed or not are the same price). The outer/standerd cabanas were $140 with the club discount. I am not sure of the prices w/o discount.

Going for HHN as we do every year but usually I am too late to book the great deals for the onsite hotels. Got Hard Rock for $174 a night Sept 29 check in Oct 1 check out using FLO code on the Lowes site. When I used Universal site it was not the same so I recommend checking both. I was going to buy an AP pass to get discounts this year but when I found this no way. It was $209 a night with AP code.

We are booked in for a Queen delux room with a sofa bed so can anyone give me a good room number for one of these. They don't seem to give you a choice of pool or garden views so there must be only so many of these. I don't really care which as long as its a nice view. If the pool ones aren't so quiet then I'd rather a graden one but otherwise either or is good. Glad to hear they are all non-smoking as I hate the smell of smoke. Seems most places will charge you extra if you smoke in a room and they have to do special cleaning.
We are so pumped about staying here so want it to be a great time for everyone and we are really picky people just want a good room. Also I don't expect we will be in it for loads of time but its nice to unwind in the evenings and rest up for the next day. :thumbsup2
