Universal's Loews Royal Pacific Resort

This hotel must be seen to be believed! Everything about the hotel and grounds are breathtakingly beautiful. The rooms are spotlessly clean and roomy. The beds are great. There is complimentary coffee, tea and hot chocolate in each room. The staff are warm, friendly and very helpful. The pool and 2 sandy beaches make you feel like you're in the tropics. There are 5 restaurants and multiple bars, 2 shops, a very nice gym, a dog park, child friendly areas, a luau grove, volley ball net (on one of the sandy beaches) and a croquet section. There are activites every day. There are Lincoln Town cars with drivers available all the time at the hotel for only $2-$3 more than a taxi. The part I loved and used the most was the River Boat taxi that travels to Universal and the City Walk and back all day long. This is a free service along with the fact that your room key doubles as a Express Pass at Universal. This gives you entrance to the park with Harry Potter Wizarding World 1 hour before it's open to the public and you have an express entrance to the attractions at both parks...no long lines! While the rooms are non-smoking there are so many designated smoking areas that as a smoker I had plenty of pleasant areas to smoke.

The Hotel itself is very nice, definetly feel like your in a tropical island. I wouldnt eat at the hotel if you have the option, food is way overpriced! My simple breakfast for 2 people was about 30 dollars....The food was good, however cant say the same for the dinner I had.

It was a fantastic hotel and it was so close to the park. It made life easier for me and my fiance to explore the park and the city walk venue. It is a little pricey but it was worth it to be close especially since august is raining season and it was convenient to come and go quickly.

greate stuff is helpfull hotel is clean and beutiful

Amazing location when visiting Universal Studios theme parks in Orlando Florida. Only complaint would be they didn't have microwaves in the hotel room. You had to pay extra money if you wanted a microwave and they charged you a daily rate. They also charged for internet use in the hotel room. Ran into some issues when wanting to use the hot tub at night. The hot tub would be full of children, so it we weren't able to relax in the it. Otherwise the staff was amazing and very helpful. Only a 10 to 15 minute walk to the theme parks. The hotel offers a free boat ride back and forth to the theme park as well. If you stay with the hotel you receive a free express pass to use at the theme parks which allows you to skip the lines. The express pass is sold at the theme park for 189 dollars per person per day, so its a great deal to stay at this hotel!

very clean and close proximity to universal themed parks.

Great location, nice rooms, wonderful discounts that came along with the resort stay, fun pool. All around good time.

This was our first time to stay at the Royal Pacific and found the hotel service to be excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room we stayed in was the standard room (2 double beds and a rollaway bed but this caused the room to be a bit cramped). However, the express pass that comes with your room key and being able to have early access to the theme parks (Harry Potter) easily compensated for this. Some of the reviews we read of the hotel previously said the restaurants in the hotel were expensive, however we found them to be excellent and good value. The hotel charge for the internet but we felt that internet access should be complimentary. Location of hotel is excellent to parks where you can easily walk to or get free water taxi shuttle. Pool is open until 11pm and great to return to after a busy day in parks. Our kids really enjoyed watching a movie while in the pool which was on every night at 8.30 p.m. It was also great to get free pool towels. Another nice touch was kids got free ice pops up to 5.00 p.m. every day. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely return to this hotel.

Rooms and hotel in general are spotless. All staff are extremely pleasant and polite. My 10 year old loved the game rooom and my husband and nephew used the work out room which was state of the art. The pool is large enough for everyone and movie night poolside is a big hit with the whole family (including free popcorn). The morning breakfast at the hotel restaurant is better than any you will find. The boat ride to the parks is very pleasant and rarely crowded. If you hit a busy time the walk along the water is quick and beautiful. Don't miss the luau - it is quite expensive but very entertaining with great food. I have stayed here twice (two years apart) and each time is better.

A great central location in Orlando. This allowed my family and I to experience what we wanted, on our schedule. Great Access to Universal Theme parks. Fast access to highways for travel to visit family in florida.
