What time is the continental breakfast each morning at RPR?

 

[rpbert1]

If its the one in Orchid Lounge, i think as i am never up that early, that it starts about 8:00am [could be 7:00] and finishes at 11:00am Mon to Fri, and finishes at 12 midday Sat and Sun

 

[wilderness01]

Thank you.

Did you think Club Level was worth it?

My understanding is you get Continental Breakfast in the am, cookies in the afternoon (we won't be around), water or soda all day, beer/wine from 7 to 9. I really don't drink that much, but after a day in the parks, I will drink half a glass of wine!

 

[rpbert1]

Sorry never saw the club level, probably worth it if there is 4 in the party, and you take advantage of the evening treats and wine and beer.
There is only 3 of us, and not big on breakfast, so the extra is not really worth it for us, and we are very seldom at the resort in the evenings as we usually go out to eat and hit the parks

Subbing, planning a visit in '09!

Just got back from our first visit to US/IAO! We stayed at RPR & loved it. We will definately be going back again. Had an amazing view in tower 3 - overlooked the pool & IOA!

We can't wait to go back!

Since I'm just starting to plan our trip I was wondering since there is no restaurant thread exclusively for the restaurants at Universal what would be the best way to find out what everyone's faves are?

We just booked one night at RPH for mid June at $228 for standard queen with the AAA rate.

It will be our first trip to US (one adult and 6 and 9 year old). I thought about HR, but it was a good deal more and I felt we would not be in the room that much. We plan to do the very early am checkin, get a hotel-park pass-for FTOL access all that day, plus the next day, until we go back to Disney.

We do have the 7 day tickets; however, would we be able to do US justice in two full days. I can stay at WDW on my DVC pts, so hate to put a lot into rooms at Universal, but at the same time, if I need to book another night, in order for us to fully enjoy the US park, we will.

Any thoughts? Will a 6 and 9 year old enjoy RPH?

We are looking for a place for dinner on Xmas day evening. Posted to the main Universal page but thought we try this thread for specific information regarding the Islands Dining buffet.

Has anyone been to this that can review? They offer a $44 holiday dinner and we are wondering if the overall quality of that place might warrant an Xmas dinner there?

We are going to be there then also. Where did you find the info on the buffet?

My sons were 16 and 12 they loved RPR and the 12 year old loved the pool
so I think they would like it and a big plus is you can pool hop and try all the different pools

To Pixegirl:

If you go to the Universal Orlando site www.universalorlando.com and under the events tab, click on "event calendar", it shows all the Xmas events including the special dinners and events at all the hotels.

The RPR event has a buffet for 43.95 (adult), 17.95 (kid). There are some other activites such as a Santa visit, music, character dining, ballon stuff etc.

That is not cheap for a family of 5 but we'll go if we think the quality is good....

 

[pixeegrl]

Thanks I don't know how I missed that! Yeah, a family of 5(us too) is expensive....it better be some good food! LOL

Sorry if this has been posted before, this is my first time actually staying at Universal. Does anyone know if they do the room charge like Disney does??? Thanks

 

[Atotty]

Yes, they do the room charge thing with only one big difference. When you check out, you can no longer charge to the room; at Disney, you can continue charging til midnight the day you check out. So if you go to one of the Universal parks the day you check out, make sure to take alternative payment.

 

[cra-z-4-dizney]

ok thanks for letting me know.

 

[tlrotzoll]

We loved RPR & can't wait to go back! Here was our view

 

[pr surfer]

I just booked 4 rooms in January for 1 night at a FL resident rate of $134/nt each.

Any recent reviews?

I was there again about 2 weeks ago and excellent hotel as usual. They had up their xmas decorations with a couple of huge trees which were very nice.

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....
