ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

[waltslostnephew]

How are you guy's getting these rates for the RPH. I am not new to dis boards, but new to Universal threads. I am thinking of going in jan. 08.

I booked a room at RPR for Dec 19th thru the 24th. I called to make ressies instead of booking on line and got a rate even better than the promo rate that was offered online. 19th and 20th for $158 a night if memory serves me correctly however prices shot way up to the holiday rates for the rest of the stay and the rates qualified for Lowes first goodies . Cant wait for Dec to get here. This will be our first trip to US/IOA and are very excited to spend the holidays Universal style

We are hoping to vacation late June - to mid July 2008. Am I understanding this correctly... the Entertainment book has discounts that can b e used at the Royal Pacific Resort???

QUOTE=Aisling;2484339]I just changed my ressie from RPH club to standard for July, down from $209 to $110/night with Entertainment rate. I decided I'd rathe spend that extra money on real food at the restaurants and just bring our own snacks. Also, I thought the club rooms were larger, which is what attracted me, but they're not.
I'd been waiting for Ent rates for club to come out, and the Loew's agent said she doesn't think they'll have any for next summer.
She also said that she thinks RPH will be the most crowded hotel at Universal next summer, since it's new and everyone seems to want to stay there, and that PB will be the least crowded. She said I may want to take that into consideration.[/QUOTE]

No, look at the date of her post. The Entertainment rate hasn't been good since 2003.

Renovations are complete in Tower 1. Tower 2 is closed for renovations right now. Since the pet rooms were in Tower 2 they are using the second floor of Tower 3 for pet rooms. Tower 3 will be the last to get renovated.

Hey, Don
All is well. Loved the trip to Universal by myself. Wife and son couldn't get the time off from the hospital (wife and daughter wouldn't go to HHN anyway). I wish my son could have been with me for the last Bill and Ted. He loves that show and the final show they always go a little crazy and this year was no exception.
Hope all is well with ya'll.

Hey all. Just booked RPR for Jan 23-26. Trying to get one more trip out of our APs before they expire. I haven't been to RPR in about 2 years, but it is still my fave of the 3. Anybody have any updates on the renovations? I booked standard but I'm Lowe's blue and they look pretty dead that week. What are my chances for an upgrade? Help!!

Hi i have no idea where to put this so thought i'd try here and see hahaha!! We're not staying at any universal hotels but wondering if they do character breakfasts .. and if they do, can you go to them even if not staying there?? Would love to have breakie with Scooby for cousins DD3 ... My DD8 loved breakie at IOA with Cat etc so it would be so great to do another 1 .. Thanks in advance

anyone can attend the character breakfast.
make a ressie in advance if you want to

you do not have to stay on site to attend them.

if you have the money, they will love to have you!

From concierge at RPR:

"At Royal Pacific we have Shaggy and Scooby Doo on Mondays in our Island's Dining Room between the hours of 6:45PM-9:15PM. On Tuesdays we have Schrek and Fiona during those same time. On Saturdays we have Woody Wood Pecker and Curios George, also during those times. On Wednesdays The Kitchen restaurant at the Hard Rock Hotel has Woody WoodPecker or Scooby Doo and Trattoria Del Porto at The Portofino Bay Hotel has Woody Woodpecker and Scooby Doo on Fridays. At Confisco's inside Islands of Adventure, there is a character breakfast buffet from Thursday--Sunday ( you will need reservations for that if you decide to go, and the hours are from 9:00 AM-10:30 AM). The characters are Spiderman, Thing 1 & 2 and Cat in the Hat."

Hi there...looking for help on some questions about RPH:

1) What is the walk like to the parks? Where exactly is the hotel located on the property (we have stayed at HRH before). Besides walking...what are the other transportation options to the parks?

2) What is the pool like....any slides? or kids areas (My boys are 13 & 8)

3) What about the restaurants at the hotel? Anything quick for breakfast?

4) Is there a fridge/coffeemaker in the room?

We are looking to do 3 days/2night in mid July prior to a family reunion over at WDW.......Thanks!!!!

It's about a 7 min walk on the other side of IOA....pathway is right at Margaritaville....you can take the shuttle boat or rickshaw or bus (altho, i would think taking the bus would be the 'longest' way to and from the parks from the hotel)

2) What is the pool like....any slides? or kids areas (My boys are 13 & 8)

There is a wet play "area", but no slides....you can use HRH and/or PBH pool if you choose (pool hopping encouraged)

3) What about the restaurants at the hotel? Anything quick for breakfast?

Emerils Tchop Chop is at RPR along with Islands Dining Room....it's buffet, so you could grab something quik, but it's pricey.... recommend CW or "fast breakfast" at the parks....

4) Is there a fridge/coffeemaker in the room?

Fridge no, minibar yes, coffeemaker yes

My family is going to be staying 3 nights in one of the RPR Jurassic Park Suites. We leave in less than a week and we are all very excited. This will be our first trip to Orlando as a family and our first time staying on site. Just wondering if anyone on these boards has ever stayed in these rooms before and what your experience was--both with the suite in particular and the resort in general. Our boys are 11 and 7 (and huge Jurassic Park fans).

Thanks!
