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

I prefer getting bedding from
Star service to make a pallet on the floor

It is a free service and takes up less floor space in the room during the night

If you go with the rollaway bed, it can be pushed against the wall when it is folded up but you lose space in the room during the day

If you only have plans to be in the room at bedtime, either one could work

Quick question: which of the three RPH towers is closest to the parks? By that I mean if you left your room in tower (x) you'd have the shortest walk to, say, the entrance to Islands.

We last stayed in PBH and we walked forever from our room, to the concierge lounge, to the shuttle boat dock. PBH is huge and spread out - how does that compare to RPH?

T1 is very close to the walk way path to the parks

But T3 is closest to the water taxi
And then is a walking path there also that meets up with the walking path from T 1

You save just a few minutes from T1 if you walked to the park

All the elevators are located in the lobby on opposite sides of the lobby

You can take elevator from towers one or three and reach the front desk less than a minute

Tower 2 elevator is just one minute to the front desk

No contest as the 3 towers do not have long walks to the lobby

RPR is a very compact resort. Our last stay we were on the 7th floor in tower 2 all the way at the end as far away from the elevator as possible. Most would consider our room the least desirable at RPR as far as location. It never took more than a couple mins to get anywhere in the resort. We liked our room. It had a nice of the front entrance with IOA in the distance. Technically it was an extra minute or two of walking, but it never felt that way. We never felt inconvenienced and wouldn't care if we got put there again.

If given the choice i think we would prefer tower 3, but there isn't a bad location at this resort.

So, we have a water view room - does that view "happen" in all 3 of the towers, or are we more likely to be placed in 1 tower over another? Thank you!

Can be any tower.

Water view can be the waterways where the boats go, pool or the water that runs under the bridge as you enter.

Does RPR have cups/ mugs in the gift shop that we can use the length of our stay? We got them at CB last time. this is our first time staying at RPR so I don't know if it's different.

There is no soda drink program at rpr that I am aware of for island or jakes

Might be something at Bula bar by the pool

Parks have their own cup/soda refill program

Hi, a quick question about the tax on parking overnight. Do we just get charged the sales tax or does the occupancy tax apply too?

Came back to add that Cbay has that drink/beverage program but the deluxe hotels do not

I did not notice you listed Cbay when I first posted
Sorry

That's fine thank you. I wasn't sure and I thought I would ask here you always have the answers.. thank you again

 

[macraven]

And if I don't know the answer I let that be know


But later in the evening I look at my notes and try to find answers to the questions peeps ask about and come back to post it

When others come up with the answer later sometimes I don't post then as it has been answered

I have to say thank you to everyone here on the boards. We arrived today and my husband and I love the hotel they gave us a water view and a view of the park. I have to say the staff is amazing my husband also loves the EP he now says when we come to Universal we are staying only at RPR. More to follow as the day goes on. Just wanted to share my joy and thanks to everyone

Love reading so many great reports about RPR. It just makes me even more excited to surprise my kids with a stay here next month. While we did enjoy Portofino Bay back in June, I'm looking forward to checking out Royal Pacific next!

 

[Mom3girls]

We stayed at RPR in August and are going back in December with our three teens and my Mother Can't wait to show them everything!! We loved the pool area/Bula Bar so we are hoping for some decent weather to enjoy both of them

These posts are killing me. I want to leave right now. Unfortunately my vacation isn't until December 2017.
