ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

[Terriberry]

Can anyone advise me what rooms are closest to the pool at the RPR? What tower would that be? Does anyone know if all the rooms have been refurbished? Also, are the tv's in the standard rooms flat screened?

Thanks for any input

Which is the best King suite to request? Also, if you're getting the King suite because of Loews Paltinum, do they honor requests? Thanks!!

Okay, I have several questions. This is our first stay at US/IOA. My DS7 has severe asthma and cannot be near smoking nor in a room that is near pets or allows pets. I'd love to have a room with a park view (I think). We have a Loews card but are newbies. Where are the pet/smoking rooms? What rooms would you suggest for new people who want the best room and view. We are not party people and are not interested in loud nights. We want it quiet but we would like a nice view. Do they have evening fire works at Universal?

Thanks for any information.

call and ask the hotel what floors are animals allowed on.
then have the hotel reservationist put it in your file of the allergy of dogs and smoke.

they will honor your request.

i posted in a thread a few back the layout of the hotel.

which area there did you want to stay in?
you can see the different views in the picture.

fire works are done in the summer only for specific dates.

you can obtain that info from the park guide maps
or, call UO and ask the dates for the firework display

Pets are Tower 2

Thank you. I am wondering if I should change my reservation. Are people walking their pets around the property? What do people do with their pets when they are at the parks? I am sorry if these questions sound silly.

I believe there is a special dogwalking path (have trashcans along the way for waste) and they stay around that area. Only once did I see a man walking a small dog on the path from RPR to CW. Maybe he didn't get that far? I don't know.... I've never taken a pet before, but I'm guessing they stay in the room while their owners are at the parks. I actually wouldn't change your res, as ALL the hotels accept pets. At least at RPR, they are in a whole different tower/building, while the other resorts have the 1 building, just certain floors/rooms set aside for pets.

You'll be fine at RPR and probably won't see any pets (unless you're in Tower 2)... We've stayed at RPR many nites and never seen a pet. If you really don't want to be around them, request Tower 1 or 3

We've stayd at the RPR bunches of times and the only time we saw dogs was whn there was a doggie tea. My husband has a terrible allergy to pet dander and he's never had a problem at RPR. I just have his allergy notd on our reservation.

i think it is great you are working out all the issues in advance.
when you have a child with medical problems, the last thing you want is for them to become ill on vacation.

i have not seen dogs on any elevators at rph.
at hrh, the animal floor is first floor and they all walk out the side door.

at rph there will be a designated area where the owners can take their dogs for a walk.

some people put their pets at the kennel for uo when they will be gone all day. the hotel advises guests to walk their animals every 3-4 hours.
if any guest has issues over dog barking or animal noise, the hotel will deal with it promptly.

i have not seen too many guests bring pets with them on vacations.
the hotel requires an up to date record from the vet before check in when you bring an animal.


be sure to have on your ressie the allergies to animals and smoke.
if you have any issues at all once you check in, ask to speak to the front end manager at check in.
or, the manager on duty once you are there.


rooms are assigned like they are at disney, usually the 4 days prior your room will be blocked off.
for guests that have special requests or needs, their rooms can be blocked off when you make the ressie.
that is why i suggest you call and have the needs listed now instead of waiting til you arrive

I cant remember what type of room I booked. We have 5 people . I cant wait.

One more thing...Do you buy your tickets before you get there??

Hi ! I was reading the thread for the first time and noticed that many of the photo links are now 404'd. So I thought I would add a active one to the thread.

Stepdisney- definately call and have them note your son's allergies. We have it noted at both RPR and PB. My son also has severe asthma and severe allergies- they remove the pillows and replace them with hypoallergenic ones. They will also do what they call a "deep cleaning " of the room before you check in. They also will replace the bedding daily for you. My son had to quit traveling because he reacted everywhere- even at disney- but we have never had a problem at RPR or PB. We have never seen an animal at RPR but we have seen a lot of dogs at PB.

[GrumpyFamilyof5]

oh wow, I am so glad I read this. I will most definately be asking for the tower 1 or 3, my daughter and I both have severe allergies. Usually when I make ressies I put that info in the note section. I also usually call the week before to make sure everything is alright. Last time I ended up in a pet/smoke room I was taken to the ER with a severe migraine and was so stuffed up, I'm sure anyone with allergies can relate.
So when you make ressies online do they have a note section to mention allergies? And when is the best time to call to ask for a room that hasn't had pets or smoking in it? I would love a view don't get me wrong, but I'm more concerned about our health so even if they stick me on the bottom floor I'm fine as long as we can breathe and function!!

Thanks. I am calling and requesting tower 1. I've read that this is the closest tower with the best view of the park.

Thank you!! It is good to know that they not only read your request, but also do a great job making sure your room is clean.

My son had to quit traveling because he reacted everywhere- even at disney- but we have never had a problem at RPR or PB. We have never seen an animal at RPR but we have seen a lot of dogs at PB.

We requested a deep cleaning or what Disney calls a VIP cleaning last year at the WL. They "forgot" but when my DS woke up with his eyes red and swollen, they did a wonderful job and we had fresh clean linen and new pillows. They also changed the filter in the air ducts.

Macraven, you are a peach . Thank you for reassuring me. I don't want my DS to have to suffer at all. We had to drive to the hospital from I95 one year because he had an attack in the car. It is frightening and we now know to take precautions. I will make sure our room is taken care of right away this year instead of assuming like we did last year.

call the hotel directly a week before you go. talk to the concierge group.
they will make sure your requests will be honored. i have never known them to ignore anything for a medical need.

anyone can use the concierge in the lobby area.
they have access to all the departments and can make a smooth go with all your needs.

be sure to get the names of any TM's you talk with.
just in case your notes at check in don't reflect what you were reassured, if you know the name of the person that talked with you prior, it will expedite the situation.

any place can have a computer glitch. always go prepared no matter where your destination is.

i had a special rate at rph 2 years ago. they couldn't find it on my file.
i had the email of the tm that contacted me with the rate and it was honored by the front desk manager when i checked in.


go and have a lot of fun on your trip!

Reading a couple of TR's and noticing in some of the room pics the coffee that comes with the "pod" coffee maker. Is the provided coffee free or do you have to pay for it if you use it? Just curious!!
