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

Stayed in Tower 1 last summer...the bell hop even pointed that way out to us as a short cut. You will have to go through the lobby or another main entrance to get in...that door only opens from the inside.

Yes, you could never get back in that way but it does save a few moments going to parks.

We have a standard room booked for 2 nights over Memorial day. I don't really care much about the view,etc... I just want to be close to the lobby/walkway to the parks. Which tower would be best to request? Thanks!

 

[Kivara]

We were in Tower 1, lowest floor last time. Using the shortcut exit, we were the closest walkway-wise; but I think that is the farthest corner from the boat dock. Our room window was half blocked by bamboo, but the walkway went right past it; so we had people walking by at any hour...not noisy, just had to remember about the curtains

 

[schumigirl]

All 3 towers lead into lobby area........the lobby is central to all 3, so one is not closer than the other.

As for walkways, T1 is closest to walkway to the parks, you can cut through the pool area or use the exit door at other end of corridor.

T3 is closest to the boat dock.

To be honest, it's quite a compact resort and nothing is too far from anything. It's only a matter of moments of distance between them all.

Thanks so much! I may not worry about a request then. We really aren't too picky and will just be in the room to sleep!

Totally agree with this statement.

Last trip we were in a room on the 7th floor of tower two almost at the end of the farthest hallway. Most of the RPR regulars would probably consider this the worst room location or farthest from everything important. We loved the room, thought it had a good view (theme park in the distance), and we were never really concerned with the room location. From our room to the boat launch (complete opposite side of resort) was no more than a 3-4 min walk.

Thank you for the new thread, you all rock!

2 questions (all food related, go figure) - breakfast buffet - how much? HRH posts theirs, assume RPR to be similar cost - 20ish? Also - Luau - I am going in June, how early can this be reserved? I know it's not Disney, but I have heard horror stories of being sold out, especially peak time...and I want to upgrade to the preferred seating, not sure how many of those are available?

The great thing about having stickies for the hotels is all info we know is listed in it.

If you did not read the sticky, I will list it here for you.
Usually i tell the readers to look through the sticky as that is the reason they were made.
To provide all infomation that we could find to help others locate things quickly.

[VacaPlanner2012]

Duh, I think I even read that...sorry. Luau has a pretty large capacity?

 

[macraven]

Yes, luau will hold a lot of people.
Since it is only held once a week, do not wait until the day of to book it.

the earlier you go, the sooner you can have the beverages prior to starting the evening.
have a beverage before the buffet is all set up.

Shumigirl,
Have you been to the Luau? Do you feel it is worth the money? We are a family of 5, and it is a bit pricey for us, but if is really worth it, I will book it.

We loved it I have to say.

It's been a couple of years since we did it, but the show itself was a lot of fun........the food was so much better than we expected and the cocktails were surprisingly strong!

It was busy, but not too cramped feeling..........

Didn't see anyone who didn't enjoy it.......

Deleted because I need to ask the hotel, not the Dis. You're good but probably not that psychic!

Thanks both. Great new thread. Really excited about our stay in October.

We were in Tower I last week. On the path, we noticed the door, but it was not connected to the pathway. No one mentioned that as an option to get to Garden Walk. That really would have saved us some steps. Are you still allowed to exit that way?

Yes, it does join the main pathway to the parks.

Wonderful thread! Thank you for the great info. Our last trip to Universal was in January 2014 and we stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel. It was a REALLY stressful trip- and that trip immediately preceded my subsequent divorce from my now ex (I essentially figured out that he was cheating on me while on the vacation, but couldn't "prove" it until a month or so later. Also, I didn't want to confront my ex while on vacation so it was a very tense and "forced" vacation.) I feel like the whole trip was a blur and I hardly remember the parks or what we did each day. I have been SO wanting to get back down there with my boys (they will be turning 15 and 16 right before we head down in November) so that we can kind of have a re-do of that vacation and see the new Harry Potter stuff that wasn't finished when we were there last. SO- I want NO PART of the HRH. No offense- it was a great hotel and we loved the accommodations, it was our first club level experience ever, just way too many bad memories there. I'm hoping my boys will like the RPR. I did book us club level again- they both can eat a ton and I like the option of them being able to eat breakfast as soon as they get up and grab snacks, drinks, pre-dinner apps etc. It also gives them somewhere else for them to go to hang out when we are back at the hotel so we aren't all on top of one another in the room. I do have a couple of questions, though...

1. Is there a Club Level floor like there is at the Hard Rock? I liked being close by the Club Lounge a lot.

2. We will be at the RPR from Monday, Nov 7th- Sunday Nov 13th- my boys and myself. One of my friends might be able to fly down for Thurs-Sun. Can I add her to our room reservation for just those nights? I would want her to be able to go to the Club Lounge and get the Express Pass too. Is this possible? I have a standard queen room booked.

I think that is all for now! I'm counting down the days until our trip!

 

[macraven]

rpr club lounge is floor 7 in tower 3

yes, you can add an adult to your room but wait until she arrives, (unless you want to hang onto her hotel room card for her.)

your friend will recieve a hotel key card for the room and she can also have charging privileges back to the hotel room.
the charges will be charged to the person that is financially responsible for the reservation, which would be you.

She will create the photo id card to be used for express once she checks in and recieves her room key.

i wish you and the boys to have a fabulous vacation and a wonderful stay at rpr.
it's time to make new memories!

i love it there, the lobby is amazing!
