- This is my hopefully comprehensive overview and review of Loew's Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Orlando Resort.
Within this review, we'll be covering location, transportation, resort amenities, pool area, dining (Islands Dining Room, Jake's American Bar), the pros and cons. I'll also be comparing to Universal Orlando's other competing resorts, such as Loews Sapphire Falls Resort, Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort, Hard Rock Hotel and Loews Portofino Bay Resort.

-Tokyo- Toko Gifts 🤦♂️
I was just wondering why there is a Japanese store there😅 that is completely out of the theme
@@ba177ba18 at least I didn’t use Japanese music for that whole part of the video 😬
Toko means Shop in Indonesian.. They also stick to Indonesian grammar that explains why they put 'Toko' in front instead of after the word gift.. I guess they try to stick to the Indonesian atmospheric theme
IMO this is the best premier universal hotel as it provides good value, theming and proximity to parks. We’re staying here for the express passes which basically pays for the room, then hopping over to the cheaper Aventura Hotel next door when we hit up Volcano Bay. Always happy to see your new posts pop up in my feed…your reviews are very thorough, entertaining and production quality is top notch! ✌️
Sounds like a great plan. Hope you have the best trip 😁
Really nice strategy!
So happy I found your channel. Your reviews are the some of the most thorough and professional I've seen. As others have stated your production value is outstanding. A refreshing change from other styles.
I love your videos. They are well produced and thorough yet never feel too long.
Your voice is so pleasant! And the videos are so well-produced that it’s a pleasure visually and audibly 👍👍. Thanks for the thorough review! We are going here next week for our first ever visit to Universal!
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your Universal Hotel videos (and all of your videos I have watched). Just in the process of planning our Florida trip for Summer 2024 and your videos have been a god send and helped me pick the hotels. They are so well produced and put together, I can only imagine the amount of effort you put into these. Thank you
Thank you Jason, really appreciate comments like this! Hoping to have a universal resorts comparison video in the next 8 weeks.
Am I weird for actually liking this resort More than the Polynesian at Disney?! It’s Definitely cheaper, even if you ARENT taking advantage of the Fantastic Free Universal Express feature (which paid for itself three times over when we stayed there in 2019…gave us two days for four people, which was worth $1500 just for Express, for a room rate of $625 for a really nice room)…Polynesian May have better food, but I liked the actual hotel a bit better (I only got to stay at Polynesian once, however, in 2010 so it might’ve improved a bit…couldn’t say)…Great video as usual!
I think you can make the case, especially with the price. The Poly will always feel like the pinnacle of luxury for me though.
RP seems to lack the tiki kitsch that makes it fun.
This one seems to be more Indonesian themed than polynesian
Bro I can’t with your tonal inflection. Awful
Are you able to be a bit more specific Kris? Any particular part of the video or just in general?
we absolutely love this hotel - counting down the days till we return x thank so much for sharing - we enjoyed watching x
You have the best reviews of parks/resorts!
Thank you!! 😁
Another awesome video! and I don't know why, but this is the first video that I really noticed the music, so wonderful music choice too. 😂
Thank you for that! Yes I waste a lot of time picking the music, so appreciate this this 😁
Short answer yes! I was there before and I love it
😁
I recently went with my friends and we splurged to get the club level rooms/access. 10/10 recommend
I have been waiting for this video!!! We are booked to stay there this holiday season!!
Hope you have the best trip! 😁
@@TheFrugalBrit Thank you so much! Our whole family has been watching your videos in preparation. Thank you for such well thought out and well spoken content!
😁
Your videos are so incredibly thorough and helpful! Truly enjoyed watching! Will be staying at Royal Pacific this weekend in a club level room. We stayed at Sapphire Falls last month when we went for Halloween Horror Nights and it was my first time staying on Universal property. I have to say the bar was set high at SF it was a beautiful property but going during such a peak time Express is a must so we had to look at the premier options. I’m looking forward to experiencing this resort!
Glad it was helpful! 😁
The public areas are nice and the perks, such as unlimited express pass is nice, the landscaping is great. But I guess I just expected more from the room itself for the price. The room is basically just a regular hotel room found anywhere with a little frill added. . I guess I'd really need to crunch numbers to see if staying here was worth it over the cheaper options. If I could stay at, say, The Aventura, buy my own Express Passes (and Fiji water, since you can buy it for a whole lot less than $7.50! LOL) for less money than it wouldn't be worth it to me to stay at Loews Royal Pacific, especially since I could still come to the bar and restaurants if I chose to. Great review!
Yeah always worth crunching the numbers with express pass. For long trips, I don’t think the premium is worth it. Thanks for watching 😁
This is by far my favorite resort evee
10:05…Nice to see you again, my friend!
Nice to be seen 😁
Is it worth staying for 2 full weeks??
Or better to maybe stay in a aventura for 10/11 days and then move across there royal pacific for 2/3 days instead In the middle of the holiday ??
Stayed here in 2021... can't recommend it highly enough
Love Royal Pacific but agree about pool. It’s my least favourite pool. We do tend to book longer stays, coming from the west coast but I still think having express pass is good to have. But to save some money on next trip we booked Aventura for first 5 days, then RP for rest of our 2 week trip.
Looking forward to returning to RP. Haven’t stayed there in awhile. They were renovating lobby our last stay to put in the food court.
I don't know why, but when I've "practice booked" ten nights at Universal, at different times of the year, it's always Portofino that is the cheapest of the three... Maybe it's about demand or something. We live in Sweden so if we go it'd be for up to two weeks as the prices for flights etc for a family of four are quite high... 😂 So I've checked different months and weeks when I've planned.
Thank you for great videos!
Yeah I recall having a similar experience when I was looking last year. I’m gonna keep an eye on it.
Portofino is a longer walk to park not as close as hard rock or RP
we are staying here for a night, mainly for the express passes. We normally book villas but for the 5 of us an express pass is about £4000!!, a lot cheaper to stay here and you get 2 days of express pass
We have booked to stay here for 1 night for the express passes but what is the parking situation? Can we leave our car there from 6am the day of check in until the evening of checkout day?
Yeah provided you pay for parking on those days, no problem.
this isn't the first time I've heard a review mention you can walk to volcano bay from royal pacific, but I cant find a route posted anywhere.
You have to walk passed the sapphire falls dock, then through sapphire falls 😁👍
I agree, RP is my least fav pool. But otherwise a great resort. I don’t agree with EP not important for 5+ stays. Even if I’m staying 10 days who wants to wait on hour queues? Our last trip I did a split stay with Sapphire and Portofino. While I loved Sapphire I really missed the EP. Since Sapphire is their Preferred hotel it would be nice if they included EP from 4:00
That’s an interesting idea!
We love Royal Pacific and would definitely recommend staying there
If we stay at this hotel does it gives us the express tickets all or do we still need to get the normal tickets?
you have to get normal tickets to get in, but it gives you express fast pass tickets.
do a islands of adventure video next
Gorgeous video as always! I tried to book this but as someone else noted, Portofino was cheaper -- $200 less for a 4-night stay.
I would have loved to stay here, but $200 will pay for several meals instead.
Thank you for that 😁 Yeah I seem to recall having similar issues last year. Think it must be a supply issue.
@@TheFrugalBrit I also tried to sign up for the Loew's hotel rewards program and noticed that while the other two premier hotels are listed, Portofino is not, so I have been wondering if it is somehow under different management than the others, and if this is affecting the price. I don't know for sure though.
I rely on your channel for vacation planning information even more than many of the local vloggers who live in the area! 🌹
I have been trying to decide which hotels I want to stay for the express passes and hop to a less expensive hotel for the rest of my trip (I will be spending some of my time at Disney and SeaWorld). When I searched yesterday Portofino was cheaper but today it had RP as cheaper 🧐
I stayed here & I thought it was a beautiful hotel.
Do you feel this hotel is worth staying 5 nights? Myself and my son wish to visit in october and I am stuck on which resort to stay at
I do indeed. Great hotel. If similar in price though, I’d consider the hard rock instead.
Can you do the Hard Rock next please?
That’s the plan 😁
Would you be a pilot for Virgin by any chance??
I wish. What makes you think that?
@@TheFrugalBrit We flew with Virgin last week & the pilot sounded exactly like you. Currently wandering around the Royal Pacific after watching the latest vlog.
I would but it's always booked up.
That's annoying!
Spend the money do the Royal Pacific.
I wanted to do so but check in it’s at 4 pm
You can arrive anytime in the morning of check in and they’ll give you the key card for early park admission and express pass,
But in internet it says that check-in is at 4 pm
I wouldn’t mind staying at this Hotel at Universal Studios Orlando
There’s only one thing I don’t like about this hotel, and it’s that it’s a premier hotel and Sapphire Falls isn’t. I like Sapphire Falls way more, but I also want express passes, so it doesn’t make sense to stay thete
3:39 TOKO not Tokyo lmaooo how’d you mess that up
🙈🙈🙈
Very confused that the cheap hotels offer a microwave, but the expensive ones make you request one at $15 day🤦🏻♀️makes no sense
Yeah microwave is essential for me when I’m with the family!
I stay at Royal Pacific Club Level when ever I vacation to Universal Studios. I've never had a bad time there and have stayed there at least the last 6 times I stayed there. I don't stay at Disney ever. I've never liked Disney. Too crowded and stressful to visit the parks.
Well, we are here and it’s a thumbs down for us with kids
They ruined the lobby.
