I love the looks of the new rooms!!!!! Huge flowers and all!!!!

 

[macraven]

in the rooms that have not been refurbished yet, the furniture/carpet is worn.

but, it worked fine for me all the past years.


i liked the old style compared to the pictures of the refurbish rooms ....big flowers on the wall, flowers in the hallway carpet, no tub, no easy chair w/footstool in the king suite bedroom.

but since rpr is my favorite hotel, i'll learn to love the new look they will have in all the towers.
i'll find out on my october trip there.
don't plan to switch to the other hotel for my stays at the darkside.


the main difference is the fresh look with new furniture and set up in the rooms compared to what it used to be.
if you have never been there before, might as well go for the refurbished rooms.

[macraven]

Just back from our 14 night stay at the Royal Pacific Resort. Absolutely Loved it

Was in room 1702 which was a water view. This room also had a connecting door to room 1704.

Bathroom had been refurbished with a bath (not a shower) and had mini fridge containing 4 bottles of expensive Fiji Water (you can buy from Publix for $2).

We also had a roll away bed as there were 5 of us (kids aged 14, 12, 9), but it was fine. Didn't feel over cramped at all. Roll away was comfortable enough (we took turns).

That I belive is a wheelchair accessible room.

I like that bathroom setup.

W1zz........thanks for showing us your pictures........I'm liking it more the more I see it.

It is a wheelchair accessible room with that layout. More space.

Gigantic flowers still making me shudder.

Everything else looks nice, though.

I wouldn't think a wheelchair accessible room would have a tub.

I wouldn't think a wheelchair accessible room would have a tub.

that was my thought also.
the handicap rooms that i have had at other hotels have been the roll ins.
a bench attached to the wall and just a shower curtain.
can easily roll a wheel chair into the shower area then.

also had the hand held shower cord.

reason i got the handicap room was i requested a king bed at one hotel and was put in that room.

We've had a wheelchair accessible room before and it had a tub.

One of the managers told us before we got into it was that type of room.

There are too many grab rails in the bath area and around the toilet. There is no grab rails in the showers that I noticed or pictures taken.

Also that bathroom is not the standard layout. No barn door and still has the regular door for access.

 

[W1zz]

It never struck us as a wheelchair accessible room, but looking at the photo's now, there does seem to be lots of hand rails. These were great for drying clothes over .

The doors seemed to be a standard width, but what we did find annoying was the bathroom door opened outwards, with the hinge to the right (as you looked in). This meant that if it was left open (normally by housekeeping), then when you opened the main room door it would bang up against it.

There were no panic buttons or pull string alarms in the bathroom.

That's why the door opens out to gain access from living area. Also there would be no pull or panic buttons as it's not a hospital.

To any folks that had a renovated room with a walk in shower: what were the sleeping accommodations? In other hotels (like the Swan) they tend to pair the shower stall with the king bed, and the bath/shower combo with the 2 doubles/queens.

Thanks in advance.

 

[pcstang]

We had a two queen with walk in shower only.

 

[macraven]

guess that blows that theory of king bed with shower stall only.

Looking at W1zz's photos, what I miss is the great wooden screen in the wall that was between the sink area and the bed area. The wall covering/picture/whatever it is, is so much less appealing. And the lighting around the bedding just doesn't look good for those that like to read in bed.

I'm kind of glad we didn't get a refurb room in March after all.


And from the looks of it, the sink is IN the bathroom. Is this how all the new rooms are? I hate that idea.

 

[schumigirl]

Most other pictures of regular new rooms show the sink on the outside.

W1zz room layout is wheelchair accessible and the accessible rooms I've seen have the same set up as his pictures.
