we are thinking of staying next summer at royal or Portifino. where do I begin? Room types, views, concierge, and whats an entertainment card. I need all of this info because I am a picky planner. Please advise me what sites etc. I appreciate your help.
One thing I might mention about the concierge level hotel rooms is that they are the same
size as the other rooms. Unless you book a suite you will have a standard Holiday Inn
sized room with either a King or 2 queen sized beds.
I wish they had a cabinet for the Television because it sits on top of the dresser but my
wife said that she can see it better that way and likes it better.
The Table and 2 chairs can not seat more than 2 people unless you have the 3rd or maybe
the 4 person sit on the foot of the bed.
What Concierge will give you:
1. Turn down service at night
2. Key activated 7th floor access for extra security
3. Extra Club/dining area with two televisions at either side of the room and comfy
couches and chairs to sit and watch either the news etc. or on the childrens side,
cartoons. A few childrens books to read, and several daily news papers and magazines
in a separate sitting area. The club/dining area has a nice view of the hotel landscaped front pond International drive hotels and the hotel parkinglot.
September 2003 Continental Breakfast consists of:
a-plain, sesame seed, poppy seed and other types of bagels, bread/toast, cheese and fruit
pastries, very very sweet and soft cinnamon rolls with tons of sweet cream cheese icing
b-Fruit Pineapple, Honey dew melon, Cantaloupe, whole strawberries, papaya etc.,
Dannon Yogurt
c-cold cereal for adults and kids with 2 percent and skim milk
d-coke, sprite, and diet coke in cute little glass bottles. They also have bottled water. In
Containers they have juice-Orange and Apple.
Afternoon reception:
a-Several types of cheese slices: American, Swiss, and some others.
b- several different types of crackers
c-same fruit as breakfast
d-white chocolate chip (Macadamia nut?), chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies. I'm
sure they had sugar cookies and others too.
e- They also had some cooked foods there too like sweet potatoes, beef, and noodle
dishes. I'm sure this changes daily.
f-some beers and wines etc. We don't drink so we can't say what they had.
Evening had several types of cookies and milk and soda pop
beers and wines.
4. Consierge desk with a staff of 2 to book entertainment, rental cars, tickets, events and reservations for you.
Concierge desk helped us book our rental car with Hertz desk located in the lobby of the
RPR. We paid 49.95 for 1 day rental for a full sized Chevy car with Hertz. One importaint note for those that are late returning back to the airport to catch
their flight home; Hertz does not have a MCO Airport Terminal Drop off but is shuttled
from their lot 1-2 miles towards downtown. We would have preferred Avis and 6 other
rental car companies which have a drop off at the terminal/parking garage directly across
from the airport.
On our day of arrival the Concierge staff left a message on our Phone in our room that
offered their services in any way. We did not book any reservation for restaurants or
shows etc. from concierge.
One thing I might mention about those cordless telephones in the rooms... I could NOT
get my handset to work.. The whole time we were at the RPR we had to use the speaker
phone to answer/call out. This was the second time have stayed at RPR and I still cant
work the phone in the room! I need a manual to figure out how to use that cordless
phone!

If you are staying at Royal Pacific Resort and want to take your chances about what kind of upgrade you might or might not get, I would book the Entertainment Book rate of 50% off rack rate. We paid 110.00 a night for RPR over Labor Day Weekend. I then went online and signed up for Loews First club online at:
www.loewshotels.com
Because I was a Lowes First memeber they upgraded me for no additional charge to a 7th floor consierge room! It was a great getting an upgrade for paying such a cheep rate. That Entertainment card just paid for itself 3 times over.
Even if you don't get the upgrade they have a FREE continental breakfast in the lobby of the RPR. The view from the Lobby is beautiful since it is on the 3rd floor and has a view of it's own. They also have a Consierge desk is down in the Lobby too.
Good Luck!

I signed up for the Loews card a few days ago. Did you have any points on your card when you received your upgrade? Since the entertainment rates aren't out yet, should I go ahead and book the room now and change it when the rates come out?

To answer how we got Entertainment rate:
We first booked the Anual Passholder rate of 145.00, then called 10 days before our stay we called the toll free Universal Reservations number and asked if we could change to the Entertainment rate of 110.00.
Contintnetal Breakfast in the Lobby:
About the Continental breakfast in the lobby, there are no signs stating that it is not for free. I'm not sure how strict they are about hotel guests using it because when we stayed in May 2003, we used it every morning and nothing was mentioned by any hotel staff. Over Labor Day on our second visit, we were upgraded to concierge and breakfast was provided on the 7th floor. It would never hurt to ask the front desk first.

many thanks for the info. I just got my Loews number and will get the E book in October. Can I book now and then call before arriving and adjust my rate or will the higher rate apply?
I just booked our Palm Sunday weekend through Hotel Kingdom and got rates of $169+taxfor a standard, non-smoking room. When I called 1-800-be-a-star they stated that many of the rooms have been booked and they might not have Entertainment rates because it is high season. I was charged $37.56 + $167.50 and the remaining $167.50 is due upon checkout!!! Better Safe than sorry 
Anyone have an especially nice room - this is our first trip with our 10 yr old son -
Does anyone

The continental breakfast in the lobby is definitely not free. You are right about there being no signs, I looked and couldn't find any either. I ask how much the breakfast was and she said everything is priced individually. Everything is laid out for you to get yourself and then you just pay at the register. At least that's how it was this past May.

We stayed in a Hospitality Suite w/Club, but I had to check this free cont. lobby breakfast out. It is not free. My DH wanted a hot breakfast one morning so I went to check out our options. There are a few staff behind the bar area and then at the end a cash register where people are paying. So it was clearly not free. This was this month.
FYI - The Islands Dining Room had a wonderful breakfast with made in front of you to order omelets. The service was great and the kids loved it. It also had french toast. All the ususally items were there inlcluding that wonderful mango cream cheese.

We stayed at RPR Sat.10/4. I just got off the phone with the DW who is letting me take my DD9 back on the 12th for her birthday!! I love these father/daughter outings! Now I have to figure out the countdown timer again.
