ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT INFO...FAQ and more......

Hi all! We had a great stay at RPR last weekend. (Only downside was that the amazing Bula Bar cocktail I last had in 2015 seemed to have disappeared from the menu :( But somehow I survived with their remaining selection. I think my favorite was a frozen berry sangria?)

Also surprised myself with how much I enjoyed watching the middle 50% of Jumanji in the pool. I hadn't seen that movie in 20 years, but it's pretty good! The sangria might have helped.

Aaaaanyway, I'm lucky enough to be planning a return trip in the spring! Most likely the weekend of April 5. (I know, spring break season, but that's when we can go and I'm hoping it'll be survivable with Express Pass.) And I did upgrade to a seasonal Annual Pass, so it'd be great to benefit from the APH rate. But of course those aren't available yet.

I'm assuming I should go ahead and book our rooms ASAP at the lowest rate I can, and then keep checking when APH rates open up and book again if I see something cheaper, and then cancel my previous more expensive booking. Is that correct? (I always get kind of worried about having two reservations and cancelling one, like an employee will see that I'm still booked and think, "Wait, that's a mistake, Sarah Weasley cancelled her trip. I better delete this from the system." But I'm pretty sure that's really dumb since it's all computers now.) Thanks!
 
Tom and I were very privileged to be given a sneak preview and have access during the Team Member Preview day on the opening of the new Club Lounge. This was Friday 28th September and it opened officially to guests on Monday Oct 1st around 5 days early as Oct 6th was the planned opening.

Here are a few pictures we took when we were in there. It is very beautiful.

They are still waiting on blinds for the windows.

You`re fine having two reservations...…

I would book as soon as you can and do as you planned......keep checking for rates and if they come down, call and have them applied to your reservation :thumbsup2

Is it just me or does it seem they were able to put in significantly more seating, those new soda/beverage chillers are a great addition for sure!!!



Oh I don’t believe I’ve seen Cocoa Puffs there before, the kids love Cocoa Puffs!!!
 
Forgive me if the answer to this is elsewhere in this thread! We are looking at booking club level in February for 3 nights. We won’t be arriving until almost midnight, will someone be there to welcome us to club level? Or is it just go to your room and then explore the lounge area the next morning? Really just curious about grabbing some cold drinks when we arrive and if that’s going to be possible from there

On TM preview day there are bar type chairs in the middle of the floor in two places........there was supposed to be two large tables beside them. There was a delay with them. So, yes, there is going to be more seating in there and feels a lot more casual.

The chiller cabinets are long overdue and a welcome addition for sure...........

I don’t eat cereal so never noticed what’s there and what isn’t........I’m not very observant at times....:D

But, the Lounge is lovely........we were so impressed with it..........

When you check in the Club lounge will already have closed.

Hours are from 7am till 9.30pm every day.

Breakfast is 7 - 10am.

Afternoon snacks 12 - 3pm

Evening offerings 4.30 - 6.30pm

Dessert hour 8 - 9pm.
 
Wow looks fantastic - thanks for sharing! We always thought the tropical chairs were a bit big for the space. The new seating looks a little easier to maneuver around.

Did they remove the pancake making machine in the morning? My son will be disappointed if so as he's not a big bread/cereal kid. That is the ONLY thing I wish RPR had - a cafeteria type option- eggs/sausage in morning as we love everything else and the cafeteria at Cabana Bay is too far away. But we'll make do. But that pancake maker was great for our son.

The pancake machine wasn’t there the days we were there but it was popular so maybe it’ll come back.

Glad you like the lounge, it is lovely and yes, furniture fits better than before.
 
Hi, wife and I are staying club level the first week of Nov. How do I make sure we get a room on the 7th floor . Stayed there the last two years and were put on the 6th floor last and didn't like how far from the lounge we we're . And to be greedy any help on how to get theme park view too ?

Send the hotel an email or call and add the requests to your reservation. But, it is only a request. They are good at accommodating as best they can, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t.

Most are put on 7th floor, we prefer 6th floor so always get that.
 
We are here right now, something new i have noticed they ar doing a great job of locking the door and u must scan the lock to get in. Last year they would leave the door open and you could tell people would ride the elevator up amd gointo the lounge for free. A good example on a Saturday night last year you could barely move in the place there was so many people in there. Tonight it was easy finding a spot. Cracking down has obviously helped the paying customers.

Thanks for taking the time to take pictures for everyone to view. The club lounge looks very nice!

Schumi,
how far in advance would you recommend contacting the hotel to put In your request? I’m hoping to get the tower as close to the walking path as possible, I think tower one and I was wondering how far in advance should i make my request?

As soon as you have your reservation I`d put the request in then.

Also a week or so out I`d give them another call to check the request again. Rooms are assigned around 5/6 days out usually :thumbsup2
 
We never ask for a room, just turn up and go wherever they put us but this time we're doing the Club Room for the first time. Is there any recommendation people would make if we were to request a room location?
