Easy access to Universal City Walk and the Universal parks.

Great Location for all things Universal with the walk, Taxi Boat and Shuttle bus all very convenient to get you to City Walk and all the Parks.

The boat shuttles to and from the parks/ city walk to Loews Royal Pacific made everything so easy and quick.

It was a 7 min walk to the city walk, self parking was easy, Valet guys were helpful and friendly.

The boat to City Walk is really helpful and we also enjoyed the short walk on occasion.

Excellent location, just a short walk from City Walk and the Parks.

If you are into walking for exercise, there is a nice walking path from the hotel to City Walk and the Parks.

Just take a quick walk to city walk or you can take a boat or bus if there is rain.

This resort is amazing, close to Islands of adventure, City walk and universal studios.

It’s an easy walk to city walk and the parks and the express passes are a MUST!

We loved thecoation as it was ose in proximity to Universal theme parks and city walk.

The location of this hotel allowed the feasibility to walk to Universal Studios, Island of Adventure and City Walk.

Beautiful hotel and smells amazing
Loved the water taxis to city walk
Hotel staff were all lovely
Food was reasonably priced- cheaper than city walk restaurants 
The Bula pool bar nachos are an absolute must- sorted me right out with a beer!!!

Location ideal for easy access to City Walk and Parks.

But the City walk which is just a ride away has great options if you are not too tired.

The location was perfect, only a 7 minute walk to the theme parks and city walk.

This hotel is close to all the parks and City Walk.

The availability of the water taxi was great - we took advantage of the water taxi every day which took us from the hotel to City Walk.

Which was decorated so beautifully for Christmas.

On the bright side, every staff member we encountered were warm and friendly.

The hotel was spotless and I could not find any faults anywhere.A lovely south pacific beautufully decorated hotel and we loved the elephants within the hotel.

The hotel atmosphere is fantastic and we love the proximity to the parks - a short walk to both parks and CityWalk.

but the pool side drinks and atmosphere including night time movies for kids was very nice.

The pool scene is amazing, sand, plenty of sunbeds, lovely fluffy pool towels, free iced water, flavoured ice water, even free spf30 at the beach towel hut.

The hotel atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are friendly, and the amenities are on point.

Lovely large, airy lobby with a view of the Indonesian style courtyard.

The atmosphere is very relaxing and beautiful.

We love the hotel with its resort style pool.

If you purchase the free style cup at the park, you can also fill it up in the marketplace with water and ice for the rest of your night there.

The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is nice.

The room is cutely decorated with the island theme and has very comfortable beds.

The resort is clean, well-maintained and decorated very well.

The hotel itself is very nice, it's decorated nicely and clean.

The hotel public areas and room are beautifully decorated.

The hotel is very bright and airy feeling as soon as you walk in.

The room next too us was noisy and thre their bedding and food boxes into the hall and blocking our door .. no One would come clean it up for days

Our bathroom door was broken and took an hour to ROOM SERVICE water.

A very nasty upsetting letter was placed under my door on Sunday, 8/6 stating my credit card payment had been declined.

There was essentially a hallway in the room, where a door could have been added that would have killed 80% of the corridor noise dead.

We leave our room at 0700 to get breakfast and early park access, put the make up room sign on the door and return at 1600 to find it’s not done….whilst getting changed to go out again, get a knock on door saying your my last room, if I don’t come in now it won’t be done……next day decide to have a lie in, knock on door at 0915, we ask them to come back as we are just getting ready, left at 10, put note on door to make up room….came back at 2000 hrs….not done…..only a little moan,

Our room smelled(smells stay in carpet, don't understand why they haven't put some type of laminate down) The dividing door to the bathroom was terribly off track.

but the refrigerator did not work and needed to be replaced and the hotel room door stuck pretty bad.

The people next door also said their USB ports were worn out
and not usable.

The bathroom just had a sliding door that didn't provide much privacy as you could hear everything.

There is nowhere to park a double stroller without partially blocking the door.

The layout was a bit odd as there was a lot of empty space right by the door,

You can hear every conversation that happens in the hallway - the doors are not soundproofed 4.

The walls were dirty, the blankets were ratty, the bathroom door was off its rollers so you had to have upper body strength to be able to close it fully, the view was awful.

- The bathroom door does not have a lock.

The noise from the family in the adjacent room was made worse by the connecting door.

It’s a little noisy trying to sleep each time someone in your party gets up to use the bathroom because the door doesn’t shut and the light shines through.

The bus driver ran over a curb, parked the wheelchair ramp in front of a poll then could not get the bus doors to close multiple times and walking was not an option due to a thunder storm.

The carpet in the hallways and rooms are dingy, and the amount of dirt under the sliding door in the bathroom is gross.

So grabbed my daughter and marched down to reception, very blasé staff not seeming to be bothered . Spoke to the first manager - who said it was “normal” for Florida (a seven story room with no opening windows/balcony doors!!)

Eventually falling asleep we are then disrupted at 8.30am to abrupt house keeping “checking out?” I explained politely “yes at 11am” 9.30am door again “checking out yet!” 

This was worst experience I’ve experienced in a long long time.

Self parking is overpriced at 28 dollars a night to park in an open lot that is not close to the hotel.

What I liked :

- High quality beds
- Great conciergerie
- Many services provided
What I did not like :

- Too loud, poor room phonic isolation
- Food is overpriced
- Universal Express Pass doesn't apply for Volcano Bay
- Room theme is very poor and not adequate with the standard.

While the hotel may seem expensive, it comes with UNLIMITED Universal Express Pass.

King suite charged $400 per night: Suite was half the size of a cheap suite at Disney.

Not a great impression when the rollaways cost money and you are staying at a $400+/night hotel.

We wouldn't normally pay this amount for a hotel (or pay for express passes)

It was dirty and old, and smelled a little, and parking was overly expensive at $30/day,

Also, when checking out we were not allowed to have a luggage cart, essentially setting us up for having to use the Bell hop services and pay one more tip.

but not the original assigned room or type I booked, reserved and paid for.

Moved to a lower resort at the promise of a lower price (had to pack up within 10 minutes) and were charged full price for the replacement resort with much fewer ammenities.

The shop in the lobby (Tuk Tuk I think it is called) has a limited range on offer and is very expensive (two bottled drinks and two bananas came to just under $12).

People stay here / pay a premium for the Express Pass to avoid long queues in the adjacent theme parks.

I would probably rate this hotel as substantially overpriced if it was not for these factors.

Additionally:

We had no working in room wifi for the duration of our (shortened) stay - Tower two 5th floor (5th Aug) 

I had to try 3 floors to find a working ice machine (5th & 4rd not working) 

For the cost of the room I would have expected a complementary bottle of water in the room rather than 2 bottles with a 7.5USD price tag attached.

The price of the hotel is making this not worth it.

but when all things were considered… although the room was expensive, getting by the early entry (btw you should show up 45 minutes to an hour ahead of opening time) and the unlimited fast pass meant that the room was almost free due to the ridiculous price increase on these if you buy them piecemeal during the summer peak.

but it costs a bomb to stay here and the house keeping is a let down

Also, we split the room cost between families and now we cannot get the billing correct.

The rooms are quite expensive for what you get.

The resort is beautiful, staff is excellent (especially Kellie F)the food is great and the convenience to the parks (water taxi) is perfect!

Being so close to the parks and the water taxi is a great service never waiting  more than a few mins and fast passes to the park which are included really make it, we walked on to most rides with no q, kids loved it.

The pool was great, and so were the water taxis.

The hotel is walking distance from Universal (10 mins) or you could catch the water taxi (easy to get on, also about 10 mins).

While both a shuttle and water taxi were available, we opted to walk down the beautiful path.

The water taxi is a quick convenient ride to the parks.

We had an amazing time and the water taxi to and from the hotel was very convenient.

clean and neath hotel, close to park in walking distance or water taxi.

The water Taxi to the parks were super convenient!

We used the water taxi everyday to get to the parks, very fast and convenient transportation.

Very close location to the parks and you can take the water taxi, shuttle bus or even walk to them!

Water taxi is a really nice way to get about,

We enjoy the boat taxis that take to the parks and City Walk as well as taking you back to the hotel when you are done having fun.

The water taxi was so fun and quick to and from the parks, we never waited more than 5 minutes to hop on a taxi.

The water taxi was super convenient and if you wanted to walk, it was really close.

The water taxis are super convenient and the food in the Royal Club lounge was excellent!

I highly recommend the water taxi due to the convenience and ease of security into City Walk.

Loews Royal Pacific is a beautiful resort just a short 5-10 minute walk from the Islands of Adventure theme park.

We had a good time visiting the Universal Theme Parks.

We were able to check-in well ahead of time in order to use fast passes in the Universal Studios theme parks.

We choose this hotel because of its proximity to the Universal theme parks and the City Walk area.

Definitely the best theme park hotel hotels we have stayed in

We didn't have to rent a car due to the close proximity to the theme parks and City Walk.

The resort was within short walking distance to  the theme park with a nice nature view.

Free express passes, early admission to the theme parks, and transportation 
made a $500 a night stay worth the money, especially when you take in consideration for the cost of express passes.

Everything was excellent from the arrival, check-in, staff, getting our theme park tickets and the location was perfect.

My wife and I had a great time at Universal theme parks.

It was close to all of the Universal theme parks and City walk which was nice.

We stayed here for two nights and the hotel had a great atmosphere, staff could not do enough to help us, the pool area was clean and fun for the family, the walk to the theme parks was short and the water boats were frequent.

We looked at many Universal properties and chose Royal Pacific due to its theme/pool area, family suite option, and its proximity to City Walk and the theme parks.

We booked a night on our two week stay from UK to assist our visit to universal theme parks and received excellent friendly service in the beautiful royal pacific,we were upgraded to concierge level and we and our two grandchildren enjoyed Royalty service from friendly staff also restaurant food of highest quality.Access to parks by boat or river walk very relaxing and reduced stress on our stay poolside so enjoyable with brilliant  facilities and attentive knowledgeable staff.We look forward to a return visit for longer stay to utilise benefits of early park entry and express ride entry,thanks to all at royal pacific rooms so well appointed with amazing views

Club level food and drink options were great, especially the ability to grab unlimited bottled water for days in the theme parks.

Went in early January, weather was beautiful, pool was amazing, theme parks were steady, not too busy,

A very good hotel close to the theme parks at Universal.

They have so much right at the hotel you can spend a few days just hanging out by the pool with their transportation to city walk, or the parks the other days.

We even walked to city walk one day on the garden path near Sapphire Falls.

The employees at the store were always helpful and the Bayliner Diner had great food offerings when we didn't hit the City Walk.

Shuttles to/from universal City walk were plentiful and ran quickly.

You can easily walk to all three parks, or utilize the bus or water taxi (at Sapphire Falls) to get to City Walk and the parks.

Amazing place, people friendly and polite, clean place 
Easy to access to the dinner place, different options to choose meals for all the tastes at breakfast, lunch an dinner 
Easy transportation to the city walk

The best experiences for friends and family.There is plenty activities and places to visit.The universal city walk is a 12/10 experience.The Halloween horror nights were amazing.

The hotel also provides a free shuttles to and from city walk and we never had to wait long to get one.

We can walk, take a bus shuttle or a pleasant water taxi (from Sapphire Falls across the street) to City Walk and the parks.

Early park entry and bus to city walk were excellent 
Pools are lovely 
Stayed in a family apartment with a bit more space than a standard room - well worth the extra 
Will stay here again when we come back to theme parks 
Great base

It was so convenient to take the bus across to Universal Studios City Walk and Parks.

but to be fair that’s not at this hotel’s price point and with City Walk and International Drive a few minutes away there is plenty of choice there.

We chose to eat most of our dinners at restaurants located in City Walk.

Walk a couple mins take you direct to volcano Bay..
Few mins on a bus to city walk and universal themeparks ..

We stayed in a suite in continental block with pool view it was AMAZING .

Upon arrival we were given a map and some useful information to get us started on our holiday - including regarding the use of the free bus service to and from Universals City walk (which drops you at the Universal theme parks for those who don't know).

Its faster to go through security there than down at city walk.

Hotel was about 10 minute bus ride to bus terminal at city walk which was convenient and busses ran often.

Bus shows up on time with hardly no wait time to get to city walk and back to the hotel.

The retro vibe of the hotel was such an amazing experience.

We stayed in an Exterior Entry Pool Side Family Suite room # 1110 - fantastic location for pool & lobby.

Both theme parks' attention to detail with their Christmas decorations is amazing as well as Cabana Bay's Christmas trees and lights.

The retro decor is thought out to greatest details.

We loved going to the Bayliner restaurant for breakfast, with its good food and amazing atmosphere and views of the volcano.

Everyone has their tube laying around which makes for a fun vibe at the pool (the tube designs are neat too).

The atmosphere is casual and tremendously uplifting.

My family and I love this retro style resort.

but I thought the whole place and decor was well executed.

It’s a great option for families as there is always something to do and it has a great colorful atmosphere.

Busy place, great theme, decor and atmosphere real holiday vibe.

Beds were comfy and the decor was spot on for the theme.

The pools, movies every night and just the overall environment was wonderful!

but still come back here for the vibe and facilities.

Would stay again, had a very fun holiday atmosphere.

My kids love the pools, bowling and bay liner diner choices and the adults love the 60’s vibes and the people are so kind!

They absolutely nailed the mid-century vibe.

Family suite had ample room, like the style, kitchenette with decent fridge and microwave, coffee maker, so did own thing for breakfast.

The resort is themed so beautifully, our room (family suite) was nice and comfortable.

Our family suite was located on the backend of the Thunderbird building.

Always stay in the external courtyard family suites with a pool view.

even though we were going to the Magic Kingdom because of their family suites.

Our family suite was at the back of the Continental and it seemed like a very long way from the lobby and bus stops at the end of each day.

We were in a family suite with outside entry, and were able to park right outside our building.

(we had a family suite in the continental building )

Although the room is sold as a family suite, it is basically a room with a thin partition dividing the bedroom and living area.

We stayed here in July as a family of 4, in a family suite.

We checked in around midnight, with no line, and got an upgrade to a family suite.

They offer a family suite to sleep our family of 5 without breaking the bank!

Was able to get into Islands of Adventure 1 hour before actual park opening to general population, nice sized clean and comfy suite for a family of 5, not noisy, 2 great pools and helpful sweet professional staff and plenty of snacks, foods, and restaurants and bars to purchase from.

Just spent 2 weeks in a Family Suite exterior entry with my husband and 2 children, 11 and 8.

We had an interior family suite which was great for our family of 4 with 2 teenagers.

We had an indoor family suite that included two queen beds and a pull out sofa bed.

The pool slide was down the entire time we were there and the lazy river was a bit expensive in my opinion,

Tip to go buy your float rings for the lazy river from somewhere offsite because they were expensive here.

It's just not acceptable for what you pay to stay at this place.

One Pool closed for a few hours and both hot tubs closed for “unscheduled maintenance” (but they have several nice signs already made so seems to be a recurring issue), expensive food/drinks.

The rooms are far away, The staff gives wrong directions and doesn't know where Tesla Chargers are, they don't pick up the assistance phone in the parking, don't guide you on water taxis use from adjacent Universal hotels, old furniture - over priced experience!

need to be aware daily parking charge at hotel add up if staying for two weeks.

The food choices were limited and the same each day and as expected prices over-inflated

life guards around the pool very on the ball and helfful nice people
the hotel duck in the rear pool which attends most nights

theres alot to take in and loads of little things you only find out when staying at this resort that should be more common knowlege,this resort doesnt offer express press .to buy express when you get here (which we obv didnt) can cost you upwards of $1400 for a 7 day stay for 2 guests.our stay cost £627 each ,for the extra £200 each (which would have made it £827 each for staying at one of the resorts which offers express inclueded which would save you $1000+
with all the money we spent on the holiday and in the theme parks ,tickets etc totaling upwards of £4000 i feel  all that ive metioned should be a hell of alot better.

but the stay wasn't flawless as we expected from the higher than regular Orlando hotel price.

Room was quite basic so a disappointment for the price tag.

Overpriced, cheap food, dirty room, broken room chairs, raised prices in arcade (while we were there) and lowered amount of playable credits by more than half.

The amenties and meals are a bit pricey and nothing was complimentary,

We won't boom another stay ever at this hotel as there aver far better and options around for the same ( if not cheaper) price

Management failed to effectively address issues, there idea of resolving issues is handing out cheap vouchers that not even a fraction the time and money you lost.

but for the price there should be a higher standard for the guest rooms.

This resulted in an Unpleasant odor in the hallway.

Restaurants on City Walk were short on employees so lots of tables were left messy and garbage bins overflowing and nasty.

The first huge thing for me was it was filthy.

The dust was disgusting layers of it everywhere.

Also , the smell of weed was lingering throughout the resort .

-It felt like there were smokers  everywhere - didn't like having to walk through groups smoking to get to the pool each day.

After finally getting in the room my daughter notices a large POOP smear on the bathroom wall.

Also the fridge smelled really strongly of something unpleasant.

My advice to Universal is to more strictly enforce the non-smoking policy especially when it comes to illegal substances.

Turned the air up and it smelled like fire.

but at 9am with the do not disturb on the door they proceeded to come in the room I had the latch locked thankfully - Gary the manager and the front desk person Kalab were so rude and insensitive in general which sucks because we used to get over the bad plumbing and smelly rooms but this was too much not worth it for a larger room

but we returned the money and now you have to pay again" to "are you ok with the third floor even though you paid extra for a high floor" not worth the headache or the cigarette smells.

This was left for days with a bin to collect the musty water.

Cons: A lot of guests were smoking around the buildings and some guests are very disrespectful and don't clean after themselves, so the staff can't keep up to clean all the tables.

Guests were allowed to openly smoke pot in outdoor guest areas which we were upset that our children were exposed to.

There is food and laundry left in the hallways which is GROSS!

Kitchen sink was clogged when we arrived. Disgusting.

Cabana Bay is the perfect value Resort close to all UO theme parks.

Clean, friendly, close to theme park, lots to do in hotel.

but we had a great view of the theme parks.

For those that are visiting Universal Theme Parks there are some very nice perks, such as early park entrance, free shuttle every 15 minutes, and anything purchased at the Theme parks can be delivered to your hotel.
