Thanks

there are a lot of recent stays posted on the trips report board. I liked it there are others that didn't.

Pixie-Dust I am one of the recent guests at the RPR that was less than pleased . Here is my opinion: If you have a great rate ignore what myself or anyone else says that is negative or positive for that matter and try it for yourself. Other than some fairly serious housekeeping issues I felt like I had a good stay for $139 night on club level. It is a beautiful resort with some GREAT staff at the front desk and on club level.

We were at the RPR on the 11,12,13 July for 3 nights.
Entertainment rate $109 for pool view. Loews first member(free) upgraded to suite.
The suite was great really nice, staff very helpful better than disney. We ate there one night Ok had a meal at hard rock hotel very good.
Short walk to the parks and city walk. FOTL best thing ever invented.
No problems with parking and no charge.
My daughter presented her report card and got Loews Grade A student privl. ie free drinks with meals for her and free desert plus free coffee for us.
DD 9 loved the pool and water squirt area, also tried pool at HH.
We really enjoyed our room, and our stay in general would definitely go back especially if I can get the rate and the suite.

If any more info required let me know

Regards

Phil

Thanks everyone for the info

Phil, I'm surprised as they told me specifically that they did charge for parking, which I thought they shouldn't.

Cheers

The RPH does lack in normal rest. Everything is a asian pacific fusion type food. They do have fantastic bellhops and valet. For my stay I had a convention down the road. I used my car 2 times a day. The valet was well worth the extra money. I got to where I could pull up and leave my car. They took care of it. never had to wait for them to come get my keys. As I said in another post, the turndown maid that we had was fantastic. And the front of the line perk was worth the whole deal. The walk to Ioa from RPH is much shorter than the other 2. It has a large warm pool. If you get a parking lot view for tower 1, you can see the fire works and city walk at night. THat is a good view. I thought it was nice, but I am not rushing back to make plans to stay again. Though I would. I am glad I stayed there at least once.

We stayed 3 nights last week (2 adults, 4 teens) and enjoyed the resort. RPR has beautiful landscaping, lovely facilities and topnotch staff. Check in at 8 p.m. was quick and easy. Concierge staff helped us with park tickets. Our bellman, C.J. was super friendly and got us a free fridge for our stay! We enjoyed the pool area and hot tubs, did not think the pool was super warm, as previously seen on this board. The walk to IOA was about 5 min., to Universal about 8-10 min. City walk was 5 min. and a great source for dining and clubs. The only downside we saw was the high price of food and lack of quick counter service. We never ate there! I would stay here again if rates were right. The Front of the Line access was priceless! It made us smile all day!
