What guests think

At Universal's Loews Royal Pacific Resort, travellers repeatedly praise the unbeatable location for Universal parks and the included Express passes, while feedback on rooms ranges from comfortable and clean to small, dark, or in need of updating.

Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, though several guests report slow or confusing check in, occasional billing errors, and inconsistent housekeeping or maintenance. The pool and convenient water transport draw praise, but lobby renovation noise and weather or event-related pool closures appear at times, and many find parking and add-ons expensive. Overall, expect a convenient, park-focused stay with strong perks and some wear-and-tear trade-offs.

Great location for the main parks and city walk. Good transport to Epic and Volcano bay. Good quality hotel - much better than average park hotel. Nice central area, decent pool. Rooms were decent. Could have included free bottled water in the rooms.

We booked the stay for express passes and early entry to Epic. All was good until getting on the bus to Epic, the staff member did not have control of the queue when the buses arrived. There was also work going on in the lobby which we weren’t aware of. It made walking through very cramped. It wouldn’t have affected us staying but would have been nice to have known,

One of the great features this hotel offers is after paying for your $30 dollar parking fee (don't like) you get to keep your car there on check-out day while you go to the park on your final day (Like a lot) . The only problem we had is that the parking meter did not let us out at the end of the day, trying to charge us $109. We had to back our car up, go inside, and stand in line to get it fixed. Which they did for us. All in all, very happy.

I had booked a one night stay as l was on holiday with my family. I was looking forward to my stay at Lowes Royal Pacific resort, l chose this hotel along with family as it looked a beautiful place to stay. Unfortunately on arrival we were greeted with extreme noisy from construction work which we had not been notified about. The entrance lobby where we check in was partly blocked off because ongoing construction work was being carried out. A makeshift book in area was constructed next to this. The noise was awful even the person who was trying to book us in could barely hear what we were saying and vise versa. I had hoped to be able to relax in the lounge area but the complete downstairs was so noisy and disruptive l had the choice of staying in my room or outside. I was never made aware of this construction work taking place, had l know about this l would never have booked. I had booked an expensive room for myself and two grandchildren, when we arrived in our room my grandson went to use the toilet and then realised he couldn’t get the door to open once he was in there. He became very distressed thinking the door lock was working but we then realised to door was jamming when shut and needed a good pull from the outside to open it. As a result every time we used the toilet we had to help pull the door open from the room side. I would like to be compensated for what l can only describe as a very disappointing stay. I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

Lovely hotel, the room was spacious and the view was exceptional. The staff were attentive and we couldn't fault the service, particularly poolside. Film night at the pool was great for the kids. The only criticism I have is that the wait for the water taxi is longer than you'd want in the heat and I think they need to be more frequent. The express passes are fantastic and can be used on the day you check in and out so definitely worth a one night stay!

We had a fabulous holiday at the Royal Pacific. After staying around 5 times we knew what to expect, lovely hotel, express passes, beautiful pool to relax in, super close to the parks, water taxi and convenient (though expensive) mini market/ Starbucks. The hotel was clean and staff were all lovely, my only issue was that the throw on the bed had a few marks/stains on it and some of the room towels were a little frayed, no big problem and I never complained.

You can’t beat the location or the express pass option however this level of resort does not compare to the premier resorts at Disney in terms of cleanliness and cost. Yes you are only in the room for a short time but for the cost would expect a bit more of an updated and more modern feel.

Excellent location and very friendly service from the moment we arrived at the hotel. All 4 of us presented with Lays before we had even entered the hotel. When we did, it smells wonderful, I mean really wonderful fragrance used. While there was a bit of a queue at reception, maybe 15 minutes, it was no real problem. Offered free upgrade to pool view room which we happily accepted by the very helpful check in staff. The room was spacious and with great views, over pool and other hotels in the distance. Plenty of storage for all 4 of us. Tuk Tuk market was very convenient, especially for a quick breakfast or cup of coffee. Jake’s bar…the portions were huge and of a very good quality. Would happily return to this hotel again and would certainly recommend. The Express Unlimited pass included saves a lot of queue times in the parks and an excellent perk. Next time I visit Orlando, this will be my first choice to look at.

⭐️ Overpriced and disappointing stay that fails to deliver on its promises I paid over two thousand dollars for a two-night stay expecting a luxury experience and was met with jackhammer construction, outdated rooms, and hidden charges. The Express Pass was a key reason I booked this hotel, but it does not work at Epic Universe, which was part of our plans. That was not clearly disclosed when booking through the Expedia app. The lobby was under loud jackhammer construction during check-in, creating a chaotic and stressful arrival. We were told our bags would be brought to the room but they never arrived. We had to call down and ask. The room was extremely small for the price, and the waterfront view I paid extra for was blocked by a tree. The TV was outdated and had no way to stream personal apps. We were charged for valet on a day we didn’t use it. Fiji water was placed in the room with no signage and costs eight dollars each if touched. Staff seemed disengaged and even retrieving our Universal park purchases took multiple follow-ups. When I brought this up to staff, the only offer was a breakfast voucher. No refund. No credit. No real apology. This resort does not deliver what it advertises. Poor communication, hidden fees, and a lack of accountability made this one of the most disappointing stays I’ve had. I would not return.

The hotel is lovley, friendly staff. But check in is lengthy. Once checked in our room wasnt ready but we were given fast passes and told these were our room keys, we headeded to the parks, once room ready we were text but no room number given. So after a long day in the park we had to present back to checkin, present photo id again which we had already done and wait again for new room keys, when all we wanted to do was go to bed, so this could have been smoother for us. The room is clean but there was no option of single beds as we are a party of 4 adults would have prefered not to share beds. The bathroom has no door and the sink back flows and gurggles overnight waking me up.

We ended up getting a room that had been partially flipped for new guests in that the bed was remade but the toilet had unflushed business from previous guests and there was dirty tissues crumpled up on a table by the bed and in the trash can in the bedroom area. I immediately called guest services to tell them that our room was not cleaned and after several calls & a face to face discussion with staff approx 50minutes after the first phone call made, housecleaning showed up to clean around our family (it is just past 8pm now). No offer to switch to an actual clean room and we had two exhausted children under the ages of 10. This was shocking and when I finally received a call back from the hotel manger Nicholas which I was waiting on for over an hour I expressed my disappointment with the circumstances and the provided rectification to that point. The good news story is that after we got an actual clean room the hotel manager offered us a $200 dining credit to use within the hotel restaurants as an apology to our family. We used this credit the following evening at Jake’s and had one of the best meals and service experiences of our lives! Fill the gentleman who took care of us at the restaurant made it a truly fabulous dining experience! In the end we enjoyed our trip! Shout out to Nick and Fill for saving our stay!

Been travelling to this hotel for many years. Areas are now badly in need of refurbishment. Prices have become ridiculous. In the shop, 3 Mars Bars are $15. 6 beers in the shop are $63. I don’t mind high prices in the bars and restaurants knowing it’s a resort but the shop was ridiculous. Service was generally good apart from a bad experience at Vacation Planning. It was not busy but the lady couldn’t get rid of us fast enough. Not the perfect experience it once was.

All the staff was very nice, except the front desk and the gift store/Universal planning center. It was an early morning and maybe they are not morning people but they were dry, borderline rude and gave us wrong information about printing the tickets, redirecting us to the park. When we arrived at the park they asked us why didn’t we print at the hotel! We knew only the printed ones were accepted after printing, still the hotel staff was not willing to go the extra mile, above and beyond that we are used to at Disney! No magical day here! But the accommodations were clean, the rest of the staff was nice, especially valets and bell services. At the parks, buses, boats and City walk our experience was amazing!

Honest Review of Loews Royal Pacific Resort (June 30–July 2) We stayed at Loews Royal Pacific from June 30 to July 2, expecting a seamless experience at a premier Universal resort—but unfortunately, it turned into a bit of a chaotic stay. Check-in was anything but smooth. Around 7 a.m., while upgrading and checking in, the hotel’s systems went down. We couldn’t receive our room keys, which also act as Unlimited Express Passes—a major perk of staying here. After waiting 30 minutes with no solution, we were told to handwrite our names on paper passes. This caused confusion and pushback in several express lines throughout the day. I received an email midday saying the systems were back up and our room keys were ready. I figured this was just a small glitch and was relieved it had been resolved—until we returned later that evening. After a full day of waiting in park lines, we were met with another long lobby lineup. Once at the counter, we were told the printer was down again (while other counters seemed to be operating). When I politely asked to speak to a manager, the front desk agent seemed visibly annoyed. Thankfully, the manager who came out was helpful and got us our keys and passes—though unfortunately, the barcodes were still unreadable, which led to continued issues at the parks. To top things off, our room had a toilet that didn’t flush properly for two days despite a service call. While I do appreciate the efforts of the manager and staff who tried to make the be

Great customer service. Beautiful pool area that's well maintained. Well apportioned rooms. Our room was a little loud from the pool area music and from painting/repairs in the hallway. Easy to check in, store luggage, get a rental car. Highly recommend for the quick, stress- free walk to Universal and for the express passes you get for the park. Food is a bit pricey- especially three grab/ go place. But the breakfast buffet was well worth the price. We would strongly recommend if going to Universal and would stay there again.
