ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

[GrumpyFamilyof5]

For those Fla. residents that have went in the past, by chance can you tell me if they have had any specials rates come out for the end of Mar. or beginning of Apr. ? I know they have a special right now, but that ends Feb. 13th. Part of me wants to go ahead and make a ressie, but another part wants to wait to see what they may offer??

There are SS rates listed on their web site for 3-7 night stays between 2/12 and 4/2, but these are for all - not just FLA residents. I assume you are looking for something better.

To Pixeegirl: Did you guys end up with Xmas dinner at the RPR? We changed our minds at the last minute and went offsite to Columbia at Celebration. Wondering how the Xmas buffet was at RPR.

By the way, Columbia at Celebration was a disapointment. The town itself is nice but the restuarant was not good - bad service. Food not as good as the other Columbias in FL....

Yeah we wound up going to Margarittaville lol!

not sure how to take that, it almost sounds like your upset?
didn't mean to ruffle any feathers if you are, I'm a Florida resident and we are a family on a budget, just looking for the best deals to save some money. I did look at the SS, but we're only staying 2 days. It wouldn't help us.
I might call and see about military rates. Every little bit helps!

No - not at all. I have been ckecking rates for our 1st trip to Uinversal and I have not seen any discounted hotel rates that apply FL residents. I think AAA rates and APH rates apply for 1 or 2 night stays; but, if there is a miltary rate that might be better. Since Disney just came out with military discounts for tickets and rooms, maybe Universal will follow.

not sure when your going, but you can put in the Florida code online and see, I know when we are going there is a little difference in price, just hoping for some kind of special! If your looking into another hotel, not onsite, I've always been told to call them and ask if they have a Fla. resident rate or a special going on. Sometimes you can actually get a better rate on the phone then online....worth a try

I have a question, hope someone can answer. I just read something about feathers being in the rooms, are there feather pillows? I really need to know, my youngest DS and I both have very bad allergies, the last time I slept on a feather pillow I couldn't breathe all day and had to dope myself up with meds. If it is just the pillows I'll bring mine from home, but if it is also the comforter I will have to ask for a different blanket or something...Thanks for any info!
Another question, are there hair dryers?
Thanks again!

if they have feather pillows at rph or the other 2, i have never had them on my beds....


i don't do feather pillows either.


let it be known at check in, or call and have it noted on your ressie of your feather allergy.
it should be taken care of before you get to your room then.


it is not an unusual request, many are allergic to feather pillows.


i can't say the comforters had feathers in them.
i did not have any problems with them.


yes, hair dryers are in all rooms.
it's a 4 * hotel.
they have many amenities.

Thanks! I had read it on a recent review on Tripadvisor so was a little worried. Glad to hear about the hairdryers, the less you have to take from home the better!

if you forget some little things, call star service on your room phone.
they can bring it to you.

things like toothpaste, toothbrush, razors, etc.

Are there hair dryers in the rooms at RPR (club level, if that matters)? i read some reviews on tripadvisor and that was a gripe in a few of them??

Everytime we stay there I recall there being hair dryer in the closet, we do not stay in club though, but can assume they are in club rooms too.

When we were there this Christmas almost all our pillows were down filled, I remember I kept pulling out the feathers when the little pokey ends would stick me in the head and we had a down comforter u=in between two sheets with a bedspread on top of that. We did have a few regular pillows in there too...maybe the extra we requested? I would call the hotel and have it put on your reservation that u need them removed before your stay. There was also an extra waffle weave blanket in the closet so perhaps they can give you some of those instead.

Thank-you very much, I'm hoping to make the ressies for our whole trip on Mon or Tues after DH gets home, so I will ask them to please make a note of it. From all the reviews I have read there have only been a few complaints, but seems like they really do try to make their customers comfortable and happy. I will bring my pillows from home as well though! Thanks!

Hi all, sorry if this has been asked a million times before but....

is it easy to get to seaworld from this hotel? We wont be renting a car and will be staying at RPR for a few nights before moving on the WDW so want to do all the non-disney stuff first.

Thanks! :

there is a free shuttle that goes twice a day. It is about a $5 cab ride.

I believe there is a shuttle to Seaworld. I know that there was one to Aquatica. We rented a car though, and were very happy that we did. By the time you pay for transportation from the airport and then transportation from Universal to WDW, your costs will be more than if you rent a car for a few days. Check out some of the car rental deals on the transportation thread. It may be worth it to just rent a car.

 

[macraven]

There is a free shuttle to both Sea World and Wet & Wild from the universal hotels.

Does anyone have the picture of the layout or RPH? I remember seeing a picture of it before but I can't remember where it was now.
