ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

[bubba's mom]

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!

Jeanne,

We will leave it up to YOU to post pix and report back on this suite.... These are brand new kid suites at the RPR that were just completed....nobody around here has reported staying in one! I think they took some "king suites" and added the themeing and "kids" room/area.....

We look forward to your pix and reviews!! Have a great trip!!!

ok - im staying at royal on the 14th and 15th of february... and i realise that the room key gives you front of row option in universal(one of the reasons for booking).. but we get off disney cruise on thursday and then plan to hit the universal parks thursday and friday before coming back to england on saturday morning. now i see it says check in is at 4 ... so will they give you a room key for earlier part of day or will we just have to wait ? i mean were going to be stright in the park after dropping car at hotel? any ideas...please.... and what are the best dining options at this end of town?? thanks in anticipation....

Even if the room isn't ready, they will give you the keys, and a number to call later, to find out your room number.

i have checked in as early as 7:30 am.

you have our luggage checked in and stored if your room is not ready.
you have the same privledges as all guests once you have the room key.

you will be asked for a cell number where you can be reached. if you do not have a cell, they will give you a phone number to call for checking to see if your room is ready.

once you know your room is ready, the front desk activates your room key.
you do not have to return there, go straight to your room as you are given the room number on that call.

We are planning on going down in August, and was wondering if Royal Pacific has 2/3 BR suites or villas (Want CLUB only) or do I need to book 2 or 3 ajoining rooms? If ajoining, do they guarantee I will get them together or just take the request? Only want to do Club - is this possible?

Altho AlexandNessa would be the expert, I do not think there are 2/3 bedroom suites at RPR...that is more PBH. RPR is the more 'downscale' of the 3 hotels....while we love it and it's beautiful, those types of rooms aren't there Unfortunately, you'd have to book adjoining rooms.

thanks for the replies...

now..and what are the best dining options at this end of town?? thanks in anticipation.... any ideas??

Hi. First visit to RPR. Thanks for all the great info from this thread!

I've booked two seperate single nights, standard rooms, in early April.
Not too bothered about the view as we're hoping to spend most of the time using FOTL at the parks! We want to be as close as possible to the walkway and water taxi. Not too keen on pet or smoking rooms either.
Can anyone tell me if tower 3 is club rooms only as that looks closest on the map? I'd be grateful for any room suggestions!

Are the standard rooms at RPR nice? I recently found out that I cannot get a free upgrade at the RPR because I booked a package thru Universal. I was really disappointed. I do not want to cancel my reservation at this point and make one thru Loews because I am afraid to screw everything up. What is the difference in the upgraded rooms? Is it mostly the view? If that is the case, then I guess that will be allright. What tower are the renovated rooms in? Maybe I can ask for one of those. Any suggestions? It doesn't matter what I am close to, I just want a nice room. I paid $1,287.00 for 5 days. That is including fotl passes and City Walk, tickets to Universal. Do you think that was a fair deal? Thanks for any comments

All rooms have been renovated, so don't worry about that. The worst view you can get is of the freeway, so ask at the desk what kind of view you've gotten. Your price is pretty good.

 

[Terriberry]

Can anyone give me a name of a grocery & liquor store that is the closest to Universal that is walkable or the shortest distance by taxi?

 

[pixeegrl]

Are there any discounts/codes for the Wk of Christmas?Or is it full price

The cheapest rate I could find for our stay is $259 from the 23-26 any time after the 26 and the price goes up! That was Super Saver. Maybe later on they will go down.

We will be staying here for the 4th of july. Can anyone recommend the best tower to stay in? We are Platinum Loews and hope for an upgrade.

My family and I will be there the same day that you are (June 30- July 6 ), and we will be staying in tower 3 because it's the tower that has the club lounge, and I would strongly recommend that you do club

Call back and tell them you're platinum. They upgrade you immediately. We'll be there July 3-6th. You will love the RPR. Have a great trip!!!!!!!

Past couple of years at RPR the boat down at the pool with the waterguns hasn't been working. Anybody know why? or if they are working again. My kids would really want to know

 

[rpbert1]

They where all working last July when we where there.

The search function has completely stopped working for me now, and I can't locate that map of the RPR layout.

For my upcoming tripI booked a standard king room and requested a high floor with a theme park view. I also signed up for Loews First. Would it be to my advantage or disadvantage if I ask for a complimentary upgrade to pool view when I get there? Would that mean I would be able to see the pool but not the park?

This is the link I bookmarked for the resort map (hope it works!)

I have been reading the room assignment thread for RPR and it is my understanding if you want a park view then it would not be a pool view room. We plan to just stick with our original request if they give us a specific room and not go for the upgrade.
However, I could be completely wrong since we haven't actually BEEN there yet!
