ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

[gschmerl]

Rooms at the HRH are bigger than the RPR. YOu can also bring a blow up bed with you and then you won't be charged the $25 for a roll away.

We are going back this year and my teenager has decided to go along with us. We will be bringing my 4 yr old's blow up bed. Buy yourself one of those blow up sleeping bags and let the smallest one in the group sleep on that. You spend next to no time in your room. YOu will be cramped but just when you are getting ready to go out and when you are getting ready for bed.

I have a family of 5. i got a quote for 1347, @hrh, and 1212, at rph. My question is where does the fifth person fit in the room. This will be my first time onsite @ universal, debating which room is roomier for 5.Oh, our stay is for 4 nights in sept 2007. Thanks in advance

i have stayed at all 3 hotels.

i looked up the rates for sept.
hrh will cost more than pbh
rph will cost the least.

you will have more room at pbh
it is cheaper than hrh.

hrh is larger than rph

you can have sufficient room at pbh or hrh with 5 in the room with a blow up bed.

i love hrh so i say go with them.
if you want to save money and want a room larger than hrh, stay at pbh.
its bathroom is largest of the 3 hotels.

hrh bathroom has a sink, mirror outside of the bathroom.
sink, loo, tub in the bathroom.

Any chance of getting RPR for less than $319 a night in early April. Have checked lots of sites and they are all that rate or higher. No AAA rate is available.
thanks all!

Is there a APH rate? You will have to purchase a Universal Annual pass to show at check in but you can call loews and ask the operator or put the code APH in and see if one comes up. This is Springbreak but they may have some rooms for the annual pass.

do the standard rooms at the RPH have refrigerators in them? This may have been addressed before but I am too ADD to go through all the pages to look. Thanks!

all rooms have the bar fridge.
you need to pay $ so much a day for the key.

anything you use out of it and you will be charged.

if you take out the items in it and put them out on the counter and replace with your items, beware, you could be charged.

the maid does a check list count when she cleans for any items not in the fridge. they don't necessarily "look" on a shelf or counter for them.


best way around this is stop at publix, buy one of those white styrofoam ice chests for under $5 and fill it with ice to use in your room.

Go to entertainment.com. You can look it up there.

Thanks. That was taken by a friend of ours at the RBC center right after they won the cup. We are also in Raleigh. Small world!!

 

[Melanie230]

At the parade at he RBC Center right? We went to the parade downtown the next day.

 

[disneymom727]

Yes at the parade. We didn't make it to either one. We did make it to a couple of playoff games though.

I can't figure out how to post a new subject.

Anyway. I'm traveling to RPH 5/5/ to 5/9 with daughter-in-law and grandkids ages 6 and 8. Can't wait . Nothing better than going to the parks with the kids. I have a few questions.
1. How do I upgrade? I just got Loews preferred card. If I already booked our trip to a standard room? Will I be upgraded to water view or Club?
2. We were thinking of getting the meal deal. Is it worth it? I always get the dining option at disney. How does it compaie?
3. We were thinking of using the ridge in room to keep milk for kids. Will that work?

1. You will only be upgraded if there is availability when you check in since you are just a brand new member. You would be upgraded to a pool view room. Once you have accumulated more stays you can become a gold member and then a platinum member.
2. Meal deal only allows you to eat at certain restaurants. If that is okay with you, then go for it.
3. If you are going to use the fridge, make sure you don't move anything or you will be charged for using the mini bar.

As someone already said, you will only be upgraded if there is something better available at check-in.

The meal deal has just a couple of restaurants and the food is all fast food. None of the nice restaurants are on it. I wouldn't go for it unless all you want to eat is burgers, fries and pizza.

You might be better off using a cooler for the milk and keep replenishing the ice. Or buy the milk cartons that don't require refrigeration.

Have just booked a night at RPR for next month (couldn't resist that $124 rate!) - what do I need to know?
What sort of view can I expect from a standard, non-smoking room?
How long is the walk to USF?
How is the food?
Will my DDs (10 & 6) like the pool ?
Do I need my Loews Card at check in or will my number on my reservation be sufficient?

TIA

 

[gschmerl]

YOu can fax then a room request about two weeks before you go. We requested a rrom with a park view on a high floor and got it.
The walk from Tower one is the shortest. Took us maybe eight to tten minutes to get to IOA...a little longer to US.
There are restaurants at the hotel and at City Walk and the parks.
You kids will LOVE the pool. You can also order food from the grill at the pool.
THey didn't ask to see my Loew's card, but it couldn't hurt to have it with you.

if you don't have the loews card, give them your number.
if you don't have the number, call loews and they will give it to you over the phone.
i had to show my loews card last october and aaa card when i stayed at rph

yes, the kids will like the pool. there is a smaller kid pool and the larger one.

i wimped out on the walk, i took the boat. i didn't leave UO until after hhn closed down. got the boat around 2:20 in the morning. no way would i walk it at that time of the morning.
from what others have said, you can walk it in 10 minutes.

i requested a high floor when i checked in and recieved it.
i also requested a particular room number so i could have the view of the park rides. very kewl indeed.

hope you enjoy your stay there!
