ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

[ireland_nicole]

I know this is probably answered somewhere, but I haven't found it and wanted to confirm- are all the club rooms in tower 3? Also, I have read that there are sodas in the lounge-are they cold, and what brand are they? Thanks

 

[macraven]

the answer is in the post above you........

tower 3 is where the club rooms and lounge are located.

 

[ireland_nicole]

Sorry, the post above mine stated that club rooms were located in tower 3, I wanted to sure that it was the total of them, not a portion. Any info on the sodas by chance? Thanks for your time.

can you only get AP rates over the phone or will they show up on the Universal site? Still waiting for APH rate in July.... can't believe they "are not out yet".

Do all the rooms have coffee pots in them specifically Keurigs? Also where on this thread is a map showing how far you have to wlak to get into the park. Would you say the walk is as far as say the Contemparary to the Magic Kingdom in distance?

. Any info on the sodas by chance? Thanks for your time.

universal and hotels carry coke products.

yes, all rooms have the keurigs and different types of coffee and tea pods.

Do you need to request refrigerators ahead of time? Is there a chance that they could run out?

THanks,

i have not heard of the hotel running out of the fridges.

if you need the fridge for a medical reason, there will not be a charge for it.

you can always call in advance and have the fridge request on your ressie.

Hi. I have some questions but no time to read here. I apologize for that.
1. Rooms don't come with a frig? I have to pay to rent one? I noticed that on a pp and never would have thought of that.

2. We will have a rental car. We'll arrive before our check in time and want to go in to get our room keys. Where can we park our car for the rest of the day?

3. What is the quickest way to get to Harry Potter?!

Thanks!

rooms come with the mini bar but avoid that.
it is checked daily and you are charged for anything missing in it.
also, it is not that cold but just keeps the items chilled somewhat.

you can rent a small fridge for a daily fee.


you can park in the hotel parking lot.
then go inside, check in and go to the park by foot, bus or water taxi.


which way to parry hotter will depend on what time you arrive at the park.

if you are onsite, you can enter one hour early before the official opening.

What is the Entertainment rate I keep hearing about and how do I get it?

 

[brenda1966]

I don't think entertainment rate discounts are available for any of the 3 hotels. In fact, I think any kind of discounts are nearly non-existant!

Seems your options are:
AP discounts if you buy an annual pass (and it appears this is just for the Premier pass, not the Preferred pass??). I don't but may need to do the math.
Stay more Save more -- only good if you stay 3 nights or more.
AAA, which saves you about 10% -- not even worth the price of membership for a 2 night stay.

Is there any other way to find a discount?! Rack rate is $250 a night for when I want to go. Would love to find a better rate.

 

[tricky1]

The entertainment rate is no longer, the preferred pass does have the discounts for the hotels.

Good rates are getting hard to come by(Harvey Porter).

The stay more save more are pretty good and they come out earlier, Oct. smsm rates are already out. APH rates are good but seem to go quickly.
When you find a APH rate grab it, you can always cancel if the need be.

 

[horseshowmom]

You can check priceline.com. They have them listed, and the reservation can be canceled. The only catch is that you must pay up front. I was guaranteed that the rate covered four adults, but I wound up getting an equally good rate with my AAA. It won't hurt to check. By the way, I found that the rates changed from time to time (up and down at various times). You may decide to book at one rate but may want to keep watching just in case it goes down to cancel and rebook.

Do you have to be a resident of Florida to purchase an annual pass and use it for the hotel, food and merchandise discounts at Universal

No. I am from Nebraska and we bought one and saved a ton of money on rooms, restaurant, and merchandise discounts!

If you are on the Universal website looking at the AP page there is a link off to the right where you click for the pricing for the out of state AP's. I highly recommend getting one. We saved over $1000 by having it!

 

[CanadianPaco]

Are there safes in the rooms?

 

[sicjoy]

yup!

Do you get room discounts with any AP or just the preferred?

Room discounts are obtained using either the Premier and Preferred AP.
