Such a fall from grace which was such a disappointing experience. We stayed here 10 years ago and were blown away. This time I was shocked at just how awful the experience was. We are a family of 5, we paid for 10 continuous days at Adventura, and mid stay my partner and I paid for a night away from the (grown up) kids and we wanted to take advantage of the fast pass offer. I stayed at Royal Pacific 10 years ago and was totally blown away at how amazing it was so I was really looking forward to staying again. I was devastated by the experience we had, my partner couldn't believe it was the same hotel I'd described to him. The check in experience was actually horrendous. We had to wait for approx 20 to 30 mins with loud construction work taking place around us. We'd already checked in on line yet there was no ability for us to avoid the queue. We did have an excellent day at the theme parks and we returned to the hotel for our overnight stay. However, we were so perturbed by the experience in the morning our expectations were low to say the least. We went to the room and after being there for 5 minutes we decided we didn't want to stay for the night, we actually preferred to go back to our room at Aventura. Royal Pacific just felt soulless and we really didn't want to have to deal with construction noise the next day. The good news is we love Aventura so we're still fans of universal but with just a bitter taste in our mouths left by Royal Pacific. I really hope you can return to being an amazing hotel that people are excited to stay at. Read less

I was so disappointed- the hotel lobby area itself looked lovely and exactly as described. When we went to our room I found the room to have a stagnant and musty smell, the furniture to be damaged, the shower area repaired and unfinished as well as damage to the windowsills. Some sort of industrial fan outside the room in the corridor obviously drying something? To try and get rid of the damp smell. When we used the shower there wasn’t even any body wash in the bottle!!! When I went to concierge they advised they had put in a request for the furniture to be changed? I’ve stayed in luxury hotels and I’ve stayed in budget hotels but I’ve never experienced so many problems and some that are so basic as this one! Would not recommend! I paid a substantial amount of money to stay here as a real treat with my family as you do and this was just a shocking experience. Read less

We had an amazing 5 nights at this hotel. The hotel is having a bit of a refurbishment in the lobby and will look great when finished. The staff are very nice, helpful and go out of their way to assist especially the ones at the ticket desk. The American Diner is great for breakfast and pretty reasonable for hotel standards. Pool is nice for a relaxed day or half day when not hitting the parks. The rooms are nice, pretty well equipped and the maid service do a very good job. My only complaint would be that bottled water should be provided daily complimentary, there was no shoe horn and the bed linen was tired with some rips so needs replacing. Hotel is well located for all the parks and city walk, except Epic which is a bit further by bus but not a problem getting there as the hotel provide the bus regularly and it only takes 10 minutes. My main negatives and reason it’s not a five for me is the lack of places to either fill your water bottle or get water and the Tuk Tuk supermarket is ludicrously priced. It’s the most expensive shop I have ever seen with a basic packet ham and cheese sandwich at $13 plus tax. I would potentially revisit once the refurb is done. We had a great holiday, there are just a few little things not making it perfect Read less

My family and I have loved this hotel and will be sad in many ways to move hotels tomorrow. The facilities are excellent. We have used the pool which is immaculate and generally quiet during the day. The food at the pool bar was exceptional and great value when you’ve previously bought lunch in the Universal parks. Get the nachos- outstanding and more than enough for two to share! Some new flooring going down so the reception was a little cramped around a couple of the desks but not a major issue. Got our park tickets in the hotel and loved Universal Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios. The Universal Express pass element of the tickets helped at the parks but no queues seemed too bad. We had a double queen room and it’s been perfect. Plenty big enough for our family of 4 with 2 young children. Fridge in room is a welcome feature. Big shower. Useful safe and clothes line in shower are nice when on a longer stay. Lots of floor space for your bags but also a large cupboard and multiple drawers. Loads of power points. We had a great view too from Tower 2. The resort is vast! 5-10 minute walk to the main two parks. Shuttle buses to water park and Epic (avoid- read the reviews) and other restaurants we didn’t use. Food at the market overpriced and not if the best quality but didn’t detract from an exceptional stay. Hotel happy with Instacart deliveries (get yourself water for your fridge) or takeaways (user UberEats to get a local Dominos one night which was brilliant) and plenty of guests are coming back with takeaways or meeting delivery drivers at the front door. Brilliant stay at a great resort and would highly recommend to others. Would love to come back. Read less

Visited royal pacific last year and was very impressed with the staff and club level facilities, so being our 30th anniversary I suggested going over budget and returning to this hotel this year. On arrival we were greeted nicely by Julian but could hardly hear him as work was being carried out in the main lobby. We explained it was our anniversary and we were promptly given a badge with felt tip pen saying anniversary. We priced up an upgrade to club level and although it was 337 dollars I thought it would be a nice treat for my wife and daughter,wow big mistake, the food was actually inedible!! Chicken tenders that could break bricks. Mac and cheese that could set bricks, coffee machine useless, staff ok but not like last year. Not friendly or unfriendly just there. A big difference from last year. When I came to check out, we found that the 337 dollars for the upgrade had been taken twice !!!!. And would not return to our card for 10 days, severely impacting our spending money for the remaining time on holiday. My wife was in tears . How can two years be so different and an anniversary ruined for us. I’m hoping for some correspondence to explain what went wrong. Read less
