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

[schumigirl]

My husband loved Universal so much last year that he has been bugging me to plan another trip for next year! I am thinking that we may try the Royal Pacific this time. I've stayed there a couple of times in the past and have liked it. We are trying to decide whether we want to do a King Club level room or the King Suite. Is there anyone that has stayed in both that can give me some advice.

The Club rooms are no different to any other room.

I`d go for a King Suite as you get a sitting area too with your bedroom. King Room only has the one room.

I like the King Suite rooms, but one thing I don't like is they are at the beginning of each floor close to the elevators. And while I don't hear the elevators themselves, virtually everyone coming out of the elevators on your floor will walk by your door. Of course, since I'm usually traveling with my daughter and wife, I let them take the King bed and I sleep in the pull-out sofa bed in the entry/sitting room. And that means I usually get to hear most of those folks walking by the room. But I don't think the girls have any noise issues in the bedroom area. So if no one will be using the pull-out sofa bed, hallway noise may not be an issue.

For me the benefit of the suite room is having the separate entry/sitting room separated by a door. With kids, it gives some separation that is nice. If this trip will be only your spouse and you, then I would go for the Club room. Instead of the entry/sitting area, you have the club room to visit if you want a little more room. Plus having the breakfast, snacks and evening hors devours is very nice.

But both options are nice.

I’ll be checking into a king suite on Sunday. If you don’t get any replies by then I’ll post some pics and information.

Sorry! Still getting used to the new format. When I click on the threads I’m following they aren’t always the most recent

jeanelle......here are just a couple of the King Suite from December.

Yes King Suites are by the elevators as hhoope01 said, but in the bedroom we never heard a thing from them or noise from the corridor. Our son was in the sitting area, and he slept soundly....he usually does though!!

You can have Club Level with either room. They have both type of rooms on the 7th floor where the lounge is. Just check availability.....we have the King Suite on the 6th floor as we prefer it, and walking or taking the elevator up to the Club Lounge doesn't take long at all.

Just wondering if there's a specific pin/keyring for Royal Pacific? I know the hotels that aren't owned by Loews tend to do merchandise like that but I'm guessing they don't for the ones owned by them?

Yes, they have this keyring for RP.

Well, it was given to me over a year ago by a friend at the hotel within an amenity gift, but I guess they still sell them.

Checked in today and we LOVE it here!

We got in very early, about 9:30am and dropped our luggage. We were given the leis and went to hang out at City Walk and check out the other resorts to “see what we might be missing”. I’m glad I went with RP over HRH. It was very busy and honestly seemed a little run down with dirty furniture in the lobby.

We’re in a king suite. Pictures were recently posted of that so I won’t share any, but it’s roomy and nice for our family.

Dinner at Jake’s this evening was delicious. At first we were hesitant because the menu is so small, but quality over quantity. All of our meals were perfect. We ordered three adult entrees and an order of wings (plus drinks) for $20 more than a pizza and salad (plus drinks) at Red Oven Pizza.

Everything is better than I thought it would be. The kids’ splash area is a good size and really doesn’t show in photos.

Tomorrow is Harry Potter day! We are very excited!

Glad to hear you’re having a lovely time already!

Beautiful resort and Jake’s is our first night tradition usually at RP! Plenty of choice for us......and everything is so good! Love the wings.....

Enjoy the rest of your trip!

So I showed my husband all the pics and told him how everyone is raving about RPR. However, the man is nothing if not a creature of habit. He really enjoyed our room at HRH and he wants to go back there. He doesn't ask for much on our vacations so back to HRH we go! LOL

Ooh thanks for the pic. I'll keep an eye out for it in September.

Yeah, it's always our venue of choice the day we arrive. Flights from Ireland usually arrive in the evening so it's around 8pm or so before we get to the hotel so it's nice to have somewhere so close and so good to get a nice meal. Their Red Ale is pretty tasty too..!!

Does anyone know if they provide a hairdryer in the room?

So we spent a good amount of time at the pool. I enjoyed the drink service and free water. There were games and free popcorn. The kids loved that!

The water is a little warm for my liking, but that’s a personal thing. The cement around the pool gets incredibly HOT! Everyone was commenting on it, so I recommend wearing shoes literally to the edge of the pool.

question:
~do they still charge $15 for a fridge?

They give free water while you’re at the pool? That’s good to know. And I love when hotels offer drink service poolside. It is an added bit of luxury.

Glad you’re having a fun time with the family.......

And yes, the ground gets incredibly hot around the pools there.....
