Universal's Royal Pacific ResortOrlando, FloridaAbout Universal's Royal Pacific Resort
This Universal hotel, with a tropical theme, is priced more moderately than the neighboring Portofino Bay and Hard Rock hotels. Guests enjoy front-of-the-line access to almost all attractions at Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, which stand just a short walk, or water-taxi ride, away. -- Last edited by Robert Niles [Update this description | Read previous versions] Photos from Universal's Royal Pacific Resort
Readers' Opinions
Quite simply one of the best onsite hotels anywhere. The rooms are well appointed. The restaurants excellent ( Tchoup Chop is wonderful ). The location superb and the staff always courteous and accommodating. We've stayed here twice before and will definitely be paying another visit. - Rob P We stayed once at the Royal Pacific once and several times at the Hard Rock. The Royal Pacific is an outstanding value for families.The year we stayed Universal character's came to the hotel for a free photo opp one evening. Royal Pacific has a wonderful pool with water cannons , mini slides , etc for young children .The Hard Rock is Nirvana for teenagers but can be expensive. The room key at Royal Pacific like all Universal hotel's acts as front of the line express pass which for family's with young children is worth its weight in gold. - jim mclaughlin This is just a ridiculously good deal. Yes, the rooms here run more than similarly sized and appointed facilities in the area. But you get super-close access to the parks, plus, unlimited front of the line at the Universal parks. That makes a stay here a true vacation, where you can come and go from your hotel to the parks at will, riding whatever you want with no wait. Ditch the car; you won't need it. Between the parks, CityWalk, the great pool and the impressive grounds, this is an outstanding place to spend a vacation. - Robert Niles Amazing! One of the nicest and best themed hotel I've ever stayed in. When youre there, its EXACTLY like Hawaii - Dan Rosenberg Stayed at the Royal Pacific in May 2007 in a standard view room. There are five in my family, so we had to get a day bed for the extra $10 a day, but the convenience of staying within walking distance of City Walk and both Universal parks, combined with the automatic Universal Express Pass granted to hotel guests, was just too good to pass up. The room was as cramped as any of the Hotel resorts we've ever stayed at, but it was meticulously cleaned when we arrived and each day thereafter. The outdoor, heated pool at the Royal Pacific is immense, one of the biggest in the Orlando area. And while there is no fancy pool water slide, there is an entire play area complete with a fort and various water guns. After each day's park activities we would relax in the pool (and hot tubs) and plan for the next day's festivities. On Friday night there was a pool side movie, A Series of Unfortunate Events, if I remember correctly. However, the whole family was pretty tired by the time it got dark so we did not watch the whole thing. The grounds were beautiful, with a wide variety of plants, flowers, and trees. We did not eat in the hotel, because City Walk and its restaurants were just five minutes away. As I said previously, the theme parks are very close to the hotel, but if you don't feel like walking, there is a free boat ride you can take or bicycle taxis that you can ride (be ready with your tip!). We rode the boats twice and enjoyed it, but the walk was the best way to ensure you were at the gate promptly when the parks opened. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our four night's stay at the Royal Pacific and would not hesitate to stay there again. And with Universal Express Ride Pass thrown in as part of the package, it it almost the ONLY way to go! - James Rao
