ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

jurasic park suite? Is their a tower/view I should request? Are they all together?

We stayed in the JP suite a couple of weeks ago, and loved it! We were in Tower three, 5th floor, don't remember room number but it was first room on right when going down hall from elevators. It had a great view of the pool and the park past that. It was not loud from the elevator at all. And very nice to be so close to elevator when returning from a long day at the parks.

We didn't make any special requests, but would for sure request this room again.

This may have been asked before but.......

I seem to remember making requests online for which tower, view, high/low floor, etc. in the past.....they provided a free text section. Now, when I try making a reservation with Loews, they only give you options of which newspaper and high or low floor for making room requests. How do you go about making more specific requests such as tower 1, top floor, quiet room away from elevators, with park view?

Also, I have a daughter with type 1 diabetes and will require a fridge for storing her insulin. Do they have fridges in the rooms? If not, will I have to pay for this or will they provide one free of charge due to medical reasons, the same way WDW does?

you can list your preferences for your stay in your YouFirst Loews profile.
that is what i have done and it is honored each stay.
i set up my preferences when the program started and never have had to go back to change any of it.
for the past 8 stays, all have been perfect.

fridges are free for medical needs.
have a note put on your ressie so it will be available for your arrival.

if the room is not ready when you check in, the check in employees can store medicine for you until you are in your room.

Thank you so much. You are always very helpful.

They must have changed something because, even under my You First Loews profile, they only have options for high/low floor and which newspaper I would prefer. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but that is all I could see. I guess I'll just have to call the hotel directly a week or so before my stay.

We'll be staying at RPR for the week of Thanksgiving! Very excited!!! We've stayed there before and I hear others talking about Dive in movies, bon fires and other activities going on. I've not found anything talking about what the schedule is on the RPR website.

Is there a schedule for activities at RPR listed somewhere? We'd love to catch a dive in movie and lounge around on one of the cozy chairs or couches!

Hello,

Made my reservation (package) on Universal Website but could not add my YouFirst Number...
I tried to contact Universal but they told me to contact Loews directly to link my YouFirst to ma reservation.

Anybody had this issue?

Many thanks

 

[damo]

It isn't a big deal unless you are gold or platinum status and get an upgrade upon booking. Otherwise, you can just add it when you get there. When you make a package reservation, you are doing it through a travel agency, not Loews or Universal itself. Universal and Loews are two different entities, as well.

Do they still have no-pet rooms, rooms they don't let pets stay in? I'm asking for allergy reasons.

Thanks!

Yes I always request when making my reservation-if I make it online-I call and add it to the reservation and then I remind them at checkin. I ask to be placed in a different tower.

My daughter is allergic to cats. She can't even go into our vet without starting to sneeze and eyes starting to water. We have never had a problem with our request

 

[AnAmericanInDisney]

Oh, good. I'll call. Thanks!

I have a similar question, too, except that we were thinking of eating at City Walk on Easter Sunday. I have visions of massive gridlock at all of the restaurants that day.

I'm also wondering if and how this hotel perk works at Three Broomsticks, since it's not really a table service restaurant. When placing our order, is there a separate queue for onsite hotel guests?

]

a couple of years ago we were "turned away" from a late walk up breakfast at the Three Broomsticks...then I made a comment about staying at RPH and she then got us in. Seems like it might not be "official" but perhaps they do try to take better care of onsite guests

 

[partigus]

Hotels are a business and for a large event, money talks! I was there over MLK weekend, and Voz Brazil had booked the entire Islands dining room, somI never got a chance to eat in there.

I was bummed, but my earlier career was in the hotel business, so I just dealt with it.

I can't speak as to how often this happens at RPH, but to me, it's always a possibility no matter what hotel it may be. I still loved the hotel!

Had this happen to us last summer at The Grand Floridian...There were 300 Toyota Dealership owners and GMs at a conference. The lounge, lobby, and snackshop were all packed all night and you couldn't relax. If it can happen at the GF= It can happen anywhere.

I really am going to try harder this year to enjoy it and appreciate it for what it is...I agree that WWOHP is excellently themed!!! BEAUTIFUL. I just can't get excited about the rest of the park but it is worth a 4th try since potter part 2 will be open. And I think having it on the back end of the trip helps but I cheated and booked a final night BACK at Disney. DH hates luggage and this way he can hand it over at Disney whereas you can't do that at US/IOA. So we all win this trip!

I think the issue is that the best themed parts of IOA are 1) WWoHP, 2) Port of Entry, 3) Lost continent.....

Thing is, no one pays attention to them...Port of entry- unlike MainStreet USA at DW- not as much food, no parade at night/ fireworks worth staying for....so you miss it. When people are on the way IN, they are heading straight for WWoHP and not taking in the theming of either land. Guess Island is cute and the Marvel and Comic areas are about what they should be.

The other issue....being in the "lost continent" and looking across the water and seeing the Hulk in action.... just can't be the same as Dasney's 50 sq miles.

This is new.

Checked in about an hour ago, and am relaxing while my guys get dinner.

Reading through the info in the room* and saw this: The Gymnasium New year. New benefit. Receive complimentary fitness center access during your stay. Our fitness center has the latest in Cardio Fitness and circuit training equipment, therapy pool and more.

Wow!!!!!


*ever since I found out the difficult way about the shuttles, after waiting over an hour first in the rain then in a cold cold store for the boats to start back up, only to find out the info was in our packet that I didn't look at, I read what they give me!

 

[georgina]

I was just coming to post the same thing. Asked at check in about buying a pass to the Gymnasium for my DD who is a college athlete in training, and was told it is now free!

 

[damo]

That's great! Wonder if this is just for during the renovations or a totally new change. I'm also interested to find out if there will be fridges in the new RPR rooms or just the mini bars again. Maybe someone could ask as it is a very popular question here.

 

[clsteve]

So, it looks like Tower One has started it's renovation..?? Does anyone know if it's the whole Tower, a few floors and or which floors?

Heading down on the 19th and wanted to see what's best to avoid at check-in.

Along with that, do any of you RPH vets know much about the Tower and floor locations of the Hospitality Parlor Suites?

We're doing this whole trip on Miles/Rewards so were able to splurge on one. Just didn't know if there's any need to request a certain location....

 

[macraven]

T3 has one of the suites, unless that is going to change with the remodeling.



i had talked to RPH and was told T3 would be first in line for the remodeling.
they forgot to call me and let me know they changed their mind and going with T1 instead........lol


when the hotel remodels, they usually start with one floor and when completed, move on to another floor.


since i'm not there at the hotel right now, not sure if that pattern is going to be the same this year.

have you already booked the HPS?
you can call and ask the front desk for the locations of those suites if you want to know before you arrive.

Ha!

What were they thinking? If they knew how much good info you pass on each day, you'd think they'd put you on speed dial for major changes

Good thought on giving them a call. I doubt they have that many, so we're probably already assigned.

Super excited we had enough miles/rewards to splurge on one for the week. I'll take a lot of pics.

And, if I can negotiate doing another TR with my better half, I'll get 'em up there....
