Official APH Rate Info for Universal Loews Hotel Properties

[WHEELBURNS]

Book the AP rates through the 17th for now. Because you never know if those AP rates will still be there when the AP rate for the 18th comes around

I decided to book with the Savvy Traveler rate and then see what happens as we get closer.

There a club king suite available next week for APH rate of $437.

I just booked 2/4 to 2/7 AP garden view PBR for $304/$304/$239. I also have a reservation for Gran Destino std club level for $400 more. I have to think about this one. .

Good grief... I booked rooms at Hard Rock back in Aug for a stay in May, bc well, I hate not having a plan. Thank godness I did, becasue those same rooms are 100 more per night now for the same dates and the same room types. Still crossing fingers for APH rates tho as the dates get closer.

I am confident you will see AP rates. I had to cancel my Jan trip, so am going one more time in May before my AP expires. Booked 4 nights at CBBR now at Savvy traveler rates, which would be acceptable but I am hoping for less!

When I had to bid for vacay week a couple months ago, I had picked President's day week just bc we were looking to go late Feb. I didn't know prices would high and we'd still be waiting on APH rates. So a week+ ago I started looking around for better rates in earlier Feb. Found a queen club level at HRH for ~$300 and a 2nd queen regular room in $230's. I booked them then requested a change to my vacay which came thru . When I went this past March w/girlfriends we stayed club level at Portofino so excited to try HRH too!

I guess the days of "APH rates 3-6 months ahead" are gone. We're down to 2 months out, and still no APH rates for President's Day week. I'm currently stuck with a faux split stay (same room, same resort, contiguous dates, but 2 reservations, as we had to tack on an extra one a few weeks after we booked and the Stay More Save More rate for my first booking was no longer available). If I could get an APH rate for one or both, that would be huge.... and if not, we may at least downgrade to a cheaper room, or even stay offsite, for that first, 1-night reservation.

The waiting game is making me nuts... well, more nuts than I already am.

I'm book for Tues, Oct 24 – Wed, Nov 1, 2023 - I know, it's way out there.
Unfortunately I had to split my dates at Loews Royal Pacific Resort because they didn't have queen club for the entire trip.

Question, will we have to move into another room? Both are queen club, same resort.

Thank you!

Two years from now, rooms could be available

Peeps cancel all the time and make adjustments to their reservations

Agreed, but can Universal keep us in the same room, do they do that?

Keep in touch with reservations so if an opening appears for your requested room for a two night stay

I reread your first post question and not sure if I am reading it correctly

You check in Tuesday Oct 24 2023 and check out Wednesday Nov 2 2023?
Last night is November 1?

Many peeps book rooms but change dates when closer to original bookings

Did I read it correctly that you made an 9 night reservation with no breaks in between?

I wanted to book without a break but it wasn't available, so I booked two separate rooms, same hotel and queen club.

I know peeps change their minds and availability might come at anytime. Without having to stalk, will they just say "keep the same room for your entire trip" have they ever done that?

If it's still 2 reservations when you show up, nothing came up before, then just ask at the desk when you checkin. I haven't done it at Universal, but I have done it at Disney. Usually, it's easier for them, because they don't have to clean your room as thoroughly.

 

[macraven]

Many change their dates and add on or remove a portion of their trip when they book far out like you have

Keep checking the hotel bookings and very possible you can make a change on your reservation so all your dates are on one reservation

You have time where you can have your bookings modified

Universal/Loews Hotel newbie here. I'm a little confused by the very first post in this thread. Have APH rates been released for April 2022 yet? Specifically April 2-9.

Also I don't see an Advanced option to input code "APH" on Loews web site.

And also…here’s the site to check AP hotel rates. Just edit dates and how many adults/children. https://reservations.universalorlan...2.1805750477.1635371917-1360720562.1635371917

How do you know if your tickets are promotional?

Bought a Cabana Bay package deal through Costco, but stalking APH rates at the 3 Premier Hotels and now thinking about upgrading to Annual Passes as well?

Generally the Universal promo tickets are Buy 2 days get 1/2/3 days free. They tend to have specific expiration dates. The actual ticket will say "promo."

I suspect package tickets aren't promo tickets. Even if they are, you can still upgrade promo tickets. You just receive the promo value (ie, for buy 2 days get 2 days free, you would get only the value of a 2 day ticket, not the 4 day value).

We've done it before -- a few years ago, at HRH, I believe. I called when the split reservations were made (like you, same hotel, same room category) and there's a way they can note on your reservations that the two are linked together, in hopes you'll get assigned the same room for both.

When we checked in, they told me that we had, as requested, been assigned the same room for both parts of our stay. The only annoying thing was that I had to come back to the front desk and go through the fiction of checking out, and checking back in to the same room, on the day one stay ended and the other began.

It's never guaranteed, but they will certainly try and keep you in the same room if they can. Do call ahead and have it noted on both reservations, though.
