Loews Royal Pacific Resort

Dmitriy Petrenko

I wouldn't call this hotel "luxury," as many people describe it in their reviews. The rooms are good enough for American standards, but what truly sets this hotel apart is the service provided by the staff. The personnel are very responsive, knowledgeable, and everything runs smoothly like clockwork, from the valet parking and concierge service to the restaurants. I can't say the price for this hotel is justified, as you can probably find significantly more affordable hotels in Orlando with equally decent accommodations, but you definitely won't regret staying at this particular hotel. Positive aspects of the hotel: 1) Excellent service from every department. 2) Beautiful interior. 3) The best breakfasts of all the hotels I've stayed at in the USA. 4) Walking distance to Universal Studios. 5) Unlimited express passes for all attractions. Negative aspects: 1) The bathroom and toilet doors do not have locks and do not close tightly. If you are traveling with a group, privacy may be unavailable even in the bathroom. 2) Cleaning is only done in the visible areas. If you look behind the bedside tables and dresser, you will find many traces of previous guests. 3) There are power outlets near the bed on only one side. Therefore, if you want to charge your phone or other gadgets, you will have to place them separately.

We stayed in a standard room with two children for 5 nights. The location was clean and well kept. We enjoyed the market in the main lobby. They had a large selection of items for breakfast. The room was clean and the beds were comfy. We used the water taxi everyday, which was a plus with a stroller. We would stay at this resort again!!!

Staying at Loews Royal Pacific Resort is essentially a "cheat code" for Universal Orlando. Being within a quarter mile walk of all three parks completely shifted my perspective, it’s now clear that the convenience of a premium resort far outweighs the minor savings of a budget hotel. ​While it’s no surprise that luxury comes at a higher price, the real revelation is how much time and frustration you bypass. At the cheaper resorts, you’re often stuck on a cramped, standing bus. At Royal Pacific, you simply enjoy a peaceful boat ride or a short stroll. The inclusion of the Unlimited Express Pass is the ultimate game changer, allowing us to hit every single attraction in just one day. ​However, the experience isn't without its flaws. While the service is top tier, the rooms are due for a technology update to keep pace with modern standards. Additionally, the soundproofing could be better, as you’ll likely hear the echoes of people walking and talking in the corridors throughout the night and early morning. ​Even with those minor drawbacks, Royal Pacific remains the "best bang for your buck." Between the seamless park access and the onsite restaurants that go above and beyond for special occasions, it is easily one of the best experiences I’ve had at Universal. There's also a duck who lives in the pool. 😂

Royal Pacific is my favorite premiere resort at Universal Orlando. I like the proximity to the parks, the lobby is beautiful, and the rooms are nicely decorated, clean, and functional. I highly recommend that Royal club lounge if it is within your budget. There are ample offerings in terms of food, snacks, adult beverages, and regular beverages. The express pass is such a great benefit. The staff are extremely nice and really make you feel welcome.

After much research we found the Royal Pacific Resort to be the best value. With the room rate, tickets, express pass, walking distance to the park, and riverboat access this was a Great choice. Upon arrival we we're able to return our airport rental in the lobby and our room was upgraded to a better room with great view at no additional charge. Our room was clean, quiet, modern and the walk in shower was nice. The staff were all friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to our needs throughout our stay. Their charter bus to Orlando International worth every dollar. We highly recommend the Royal Pacific and will definitely stay there again.
