ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

[scromwell]

Is the $15 charge for self parking charged per 24 hour period or per day. In other words, if we check in on Tuesday at 6pm and pick up our car on Wednesday at 5pm do we get charged for one day or two. How much more would valet be?

Also, we will be staying at RPR on my birthday. Does Universal do anything to honor birthdays the way that Disney does? Should I let anyone know?

Thanks for your help. We haven't stayed at Universal in years!

The parking charge is per night so, if you are staying one night you will only be charged $15. Not usre about valet charges, think it's $20 per night

As far as Birthdays, I'm afraid I really don't know. It can't hurt to mention it when you check in (or even email in advance if you're making a room request)

Of course we going to IOA and HP in October. By then we hope crowds are down , but intend to stay local (Roya Pacific, Portofino, or Hard). Since it sounds like water transport may not be available very early in the morning, we might have to hustle on foot (and we TRY to save our "steps" for in the parks!) The maps are unclear - who could tell us which hotel might be closest to the entry Port of IOA?

And thanks to all of you with all the great info about the resorts. This is a great forum!

I received our MapleLeaf tickets for Universal/IOA yesterday (really fast delivery) and on the included map I was happy to see that it looks like RPR is closest to the IOA entry. (but this is my first trip, so maybe someone knows better)

Yes, that is true.

For those who are comparing costs of rental car/parking vs. taxi/shuttle, the self parking fee is $15, but that's without tax so the total cost for self parking per night with tax is $15.98.

I found a post and now can't find it again about taking an air mattress for the 5th person instead of paying for the rollaway bed. Can you still do that?

 

[bubba's mom]

^ yes

I know that wireless is a separate charge in the hotel rooms. Is there any place that has free wifi, like the lobby or by the pool? Thanks in advance

I really need help in deciding on a room. We have been upgraded to a water view room from a standard room with our Lowes card. I know that we would love to have a view of the rides from our room. Is that possible with a water view room. Or should I call and change back to a standard room?

Yes, it is possible

What time should we be at RPH in order to park, check-in, get our keys, and walk over to IOS by 7:30

 

[justprettynpink]

I personally would shoot for 0630.

Is pool view & waterview the same?

In any event, they've "unstickyed" the room assignment thread http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=616763 that I started eons ago, so it has gotten buried by current posts (I'll bump it up to the top for you).

But I'll list what I have in my notes.

We stayed on 7/1 and all our rooms were pool view rooms. We had 3224 (I didn't visit my friends to see how unobstructed their view was-since it was a low floor-, but they didn't complain), 3504 & I was in 3518. Our view of the pool was great & we could see some of the rides in the distance.

Also have listed as pool view/park view:

3224-QQ (double queen) pool view
3400-King Suite/pool view with views of IOA in the distance
3504-QQ pool/IOA view
3512-Pool/IOA views
3518-QQ Pool/IOA views
3612-Pool/IOA views

That should get you started.

I agree...at least by 6:30. We got there a little before 6:30 on 7/1 but the process of checking 3 rooms in seemed soooo long (it also may have been my excitement ). But we were at the dock sometime after 7 a.m. (the water taxi had already started for the day but I had information that said it wouldn't start until 7:30) & at the gates before 7:30. They were letting EVERYBODY in, but on-site guests were sent to the right, & let right in HP, and general public were sent to the left & held.

What an AMAZING perk !

OK Thanks 6:30 it is.

We are checking in to the RPR next Wednesday. Is it too late to request a specific tower? If not, what is the best way to do this - e-mail or telephone?

We requested by going to the Loews website, to the RPR page and clicked on contact us. It lets you put in your request. We got what we requested so someone must have read it. I would do that tonight.

Regarding air mattresses in the room. Can I fit a queen one in there? I think we requested a standard room.

Thanks for all the great info!

No. You can fit a single.
