ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

Yup. You can walk to everything. It will be about a 5 minute walk for you to Cabana Bay. It will be about 15 to Hard Rock and about 25 to Portofino.

Great, thanks! I'm glad we are closer to Cabana Bay. The pool area looks really nice by the drawings I've seen.

I just wanted to take a second to brag on this hotel. I really wasn't expecting much. I mean I knew it was a nice hotel, but we only booked the rooms because that was a better deal for us than buying the EP outright.

However, after staying here, I'm so glad we did. Everyone at this hotel went above and beyond what was required of them. We had an emergency during our stay and the hotel staff went out of their way to help us. I don't know what we would have done without them. I cant think of one bad thing to say about any of the staff. The checkin desk was quick, professional, friendly, and helpful. Valet parking and concierge were great, going beyond what was required of them to help us out. Even the bartender was wonderful and helped me in the middle of the night with an issue not related to the bar at all. My only complaint with the entire hotel would be the lack of outlets in the room. Despite the high price, we will definitely stay here again. The service more than made up for it. It was also great to be such a short walk away from the parks.

Great to read that they helped out during your emergency and stepped up. Hope whatever happened didn't ruin your trip. Thank-you for sharing your thoughts and experience.

Can anyone tell me what the little store is like in the reception area? I noticed that there are no stores within walking distance to get snacks/water etc. there doesn't appear to be any on Citywalk either.

Is it expensive? I won't have a car for the first week of my stay and I don't want to be spending over the odds on bottles of water or snacks for the kids and other kind of stuff I'd normally buy at a Walgreens etc.

There are two little stores at RPR where you can buy water and snacks and stuff. It is still much pricier than at Walgreens. It might be cheaper to take a cab over to the Walgreens and pick up stuff.

Thanks Damo, I was thinking that it would probably be pricey. Taxi to Walgreen's might be a good idea. According to Google Maps there seems to be one down by WnW which would only be a couple of minutes away.

There's a Walgreens right behind the Portofino Bay Hotel. Corner of Kirkland and Vineland.

Thanks. I had a look on Google Maps and I think the one by WnW will be closer to the RP than this one though.

You can come and go as you please. Parking is added to your nightly charge.

I know that pool hopping is allowed between PBH, HRH and RPR. But does somebody know is pool hopping allowed between RPR and Cabana Bay? We'd like to explore this new hotel during our June RPR stay

Cabana Bay guest services says that pool hopping is allowed. However, that may change once things get going.

what's the best way to get from rpr to cabana bay? I would love to go hang out in there lazy river once it's up and going.

The hotels are almost adjacent. It should be an easy walk.

 

[Senator Tressel]

I'm sure they'll allow pool hopping to Cabana Bay. I doubt a whole lot of people staying at the deluxe hotels are going to venture over there to swim, so it shouldn't become a problem. I could foresee a problem the other way around though.

Does anyone know what the AP rates were for this past January? I've found a rate of $155/night for our dates in January 2015 on a discount website. I'm debating locking in that rate instead of waiting for the AP rates to be released. Any thoughts?

 

[macraven]

i'm looking at my january 2014 receipt for rph and i paid $149 a night with the aph rate.
