ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT INFO...FAQ and more......

Hmmmmm......just the one TV? Yeah that was something else we were interested in was watching some football games and the kids watching the movies they always show.
Yes just one tv. The first few days we were here they had on freeform playing Disney movies (which I found highly amusing). On Sunday a woman did ask them to switch to football and they obliged. Since then it seems to be on hgtv or something similar. I’m sure they would change things again if we requested it. But yea doesn’t work to have kids in an area watching their own thing while the parents watch football
 
Are you here now schumigirl?! This is our last night. Say hi if you see us, I’m the blonde with the two year old.

I think the food is very good and the staff is really nice. Some are better than others, but that’s the case with any place you go.

Unfortunately it’s just not what we hoped. It’s not bad and as you said works great as a temporary solution and they are doing the best they can. However the three big things we were hoping for (convenience to the room, a place to relax, and some things to entertain our son) just aren’t there. I’m on the fence as to whether or not I would do it again, I think I’d need to try the actual lounge before I make that call

Yes, we’re here till Oct 2nd........

We’re the couple always talking to staff.....lol.......

The real lounge is fabulous and I’d bet you’d be happier once that is fully functioning again.......they will be having a kids play area again.......and yep, more than one tv........:thumbsup2

Will say hi if you’re in when we go down later........:wave2:

Have they given sort of a target date on how the refurb is coming or are they still giving the generic "2 months" response?

They haven’t publicly released a completion and re opening date yet.
 


So what's changed to bump it back up?

Wasn't it originally on the same level as PBH and HRH but then downgraded (although still kept express pass)?

I don't think anything has changed - I think they probably put it back to a premier hotel as it was causing confusion among guests - it really should have never been moved to the preferred category.
 


Since RPR has the water taxi, free unlimited ep for the guests, and on site sit down table service, it qualified to be in the same category with PBH and HRH is my thought.
 
I think part of the problem was that Sapphire Falls was listed as a sister resort to RPR, even though SF doesn’t have free EP. It probably caused confusion to SF guests who expected free EP because RPR has it.
 
I may have asked this before, can't remember. Has anyone done the Thanksgiving buffet at Islands? i am wondering if I need to call to reserve a time.
 
Looks like I can reserve through Open Table, so that's what I'll do! Got to get my son-in-law his traditional Thanksgiving meal.
 
Not travelling till February so no immediate need for an answer, but has anyone ever had flowers delivered to RPR?

I've had other things delivered to the RPR but have had to pick them up from the business centre myself but I'd prefer them to be in the room when we come back in the evening, giving a nice surprise to my wife. In other hotels I've stayed in they've done this for me but just wondering if the RPR will?

Also, any recommendation of where to order from would be appreciated too!
 
Wow that actually looks fairly decent for a temporary setup from what I can see!!!

The Royal Pacific is a lovely resort and they always do a wonderful job of taking care of their guests and trying to accommodate everyone!! :thumbsup2
I can confirm with above information. It is very decent for a temporary Club Lounge location. The staff is doing a great job. I stayed club level here in the regular location a few years back, and in the temporary lounge back in August. The experience is still very special. If you have reservations for club level during the rehab, I would keep those reservations. But that's my opinion, of course. Both my wife and our 13 year old son felt the same as me. You still get that special club level experience. It's just a different location.

I have never ordered anything to be delivered to RPR, we have been given gift baskets and arrangements from RPR welcoming us back which were very lovely!!! I would call the hotel front desk or concierge and see what they would recommend and possibly simplify things for you!!! Oh the arrangements we received typically were after we went out for a while and arrived back, one evening they had put one together with a bunch of candies and goodies that were a big hit with my wife and I and the kids!!


My wife still uses the vases and baskets at home also, they are sentimental souvenirs to us.

There are a number of in-room gifts you can order from concierge - Staying Universal maintains a great list - http://stayinguniversal.com/resorts/royal-pacific-resort/in-room-gifts-at-rpr/
 
I can concur, we just recieved an email stating the lounge will be reopen as of October 1st. We arrive October 5th so great timing!
