ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

[macraven]

i have been a member of loews hotels for a long time.

i did receive an email of a change from the original program to a new "enchanced" program that begins july 15th.

have only received one more email from loews about it


before, you had other amenitites given to you when you check in to a loews hotel. i hesitate to say what the other amenities are until i see what changes there will be july 15th.

hopefully, they have kept many of them.
usage of the gym facilities is for all 3 levels of the loewsfirst program.

i only used it once when i stayed 7 days and got fat from all the fudge in the shop you see before you leave the studios side..........

did the loews group tell you the gym/work out room is the only thing you get?

i go frequently so i tip more than others. i see the same faces all the time there.

usually the rule of thumb is $1 per bag they help with.
i always have quite a few bags plus soda and would give $20

this year with airlines restrictions, i will only have my one suitcase and my water/soda. i'll tip over again.

the person that unloads your car, may not be the same person that takes it up to your room.
if your room is not ready, your belongings will be put in a secure, locked location and you will get a claim ticket.
when your room is ready, you can call down for your luggage to be brought up. or if you are lucky, it might be put in your room already for you.

that could be another tip to give out if you have a bell hop bring your items to your room.

Thank you..
The lowes person didn't tell me much at all so I was just trying to learn here.

On the tipping. Hmm $20 maybe I will just haul it up myself and spend that $20 on something for me.

<---- cheap person I am ..

oh, you don't have to tip that much....that is just me.

i used to bring about 4 bags and stuff from the grocery stop to hrh.
and i have been there 18 times before and know some of the bell hops/valet people.

it's just me that goes crazy with the tips.


most people like i posted before go with the $1 per bag tip.
some people do not tip at all.
i have seen that.

don't feel you have to be tugging your own luggage based on what i do.
very few people do a large tip...

Thanks.. can I come help you with your stuff!
I can handle a dollar a bag..

Where can I find the # for Concierge (Club Level)?? My husband and I will be at RPR on Sept 15 and are celcbrating our 45th Anniversary. My only special request would be for a pool-view room. Any ideas??

Staying at RPH and want to know which tower to request. We like to be as close to the park as possible and close to the elevator. Would rather not be in tower 2 because of the pets. In advance, THANKS!

Hi There!!

My family is going to stay at RPR at the end of September. I booked our trip as a package deal, can I still call and request not to be in tower 2 because of animal allergies? Would I be able to request a park view?? I would love for any suggestions on what room if I can request one!!
Thanks a billion!!

I wouldn't worry toooo much. My husband and I travel with our yorkie there and also other Universal Hotels, and we see very few pets at all. ALSO we have a yorkie bc both of us are allergic to pets (yorkies are hypoallergenic) so we always worry whenever we travel into a pet room. The rooms there are sooo clean and we had no problems ourselves. I know that they have the pets in one area. In the Hard Rock its on 1 floor only which was our last stay. We did stay in Royal Pacific also but I don't recall if it was only one floor or not. I actually can get asthma from some long haired pets and no problems at all. Have fun! I miss it there

to the poster with the question of tower.

tower 1 is closer.

you can get beautiful views of the park.
if you are lucky, you can get my old room.

you wake up hearing the swooshing of the hulk as they trial run it very early in the morning before the parks are opened.

That's all I think we ever were there for BUT besides the main appetizer, every night they had veggies & dip, another small Pasta salad type thing, tortilla chips, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, crackers and cheese, fruit, etc. and what my son LOVED: those Smuckers Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches.

If I can answer any other questions for you; ask away!!!

Anyone know if the still have these for the kiddos?

I was googling more info about the RPR and came across a review of it on a family blog. This was taken out of the post "The resort has several famous restaurants, included an Emeril's. However, the Best Restaurant In The World (TM) is here... this is a rare honor, and I only give it... well, only to this one. The on-site standard restaraunt includes a "family room". This is going to be hard to describe, so bear with me. Around the perimeter of the room are four booth-style tables that would seem to hold a family of eight if needed. Between two booths are a childrens buffet (cheap - but don't remember the price) that is constantly stocked with chicken nuggets, mac & cheese, hot dogs, etc. And they bring out deserts. Between the remaining booths are toys. Yes, toys. They encourage your kids to play. But here's the kicker - in the middle of the room is a big, square four-poster bed with canopy, and mounted on two sides of the canopy are big LCD screens tuned to Nick Toons! I could not believe my eyes. Marla and I ate a nice quiet meal together, the only time during our entire vacation. The kids spent the entire meal grabbing food from the buffet (helping themselves!) and laying on the bed watching TV.

I don't know who designed this room, but I bow to him or her. I'll abstain from blastpheming, but you get the idea. I'm agog. In awe. "
What restaurant at RPR is she describing? Is it still there? or have they changed it? The post was written June 28,2007. TIA Is it just the Islands dining room? I don't ever remember reading anything about all the kid friendly areas she was describing.

i know the rph and hrh have a kids section for the hotel resturant.

it's like that in all of them.

island, kitchen has the set up.

i have not used any at the pbh as my kids used the menu last time.

and they aren't littles anymore.

 

[pixeegrl]

cool! Thanks!

 

[pixeegrl]

I'm trying to price these online but can't even seem to find a way to do it. Do I need to call the hotel directly? I thought one night would be pretty cool.
