ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

[DPCummerbund]

I saw a rumor on another site (from a normally reliable source) that they are going to pause in the remodeling during busy periods (i.e. spring break, summer, etc), and because of that the renovations are expected to take 12-18 months total. We'll see if that turns out to be true or not.

anything is possible when it comes to renovations.
if loews decides to have delays in the rooms, who knows when it all will be done.

T1 work started 5 weeks ago.
don't know if all 3 floors are completely done but read on the dis site that they are booking guests into the finished rooms now.
think i read posts that floors 6 and 7 had guests in them within the week.

before the work began, i asked at the hotel will the job be done before i return in the fall.
was told yes.
but that was then............things can always change.

i'm seeing on the reservation site that club level, which is at T3, is taking bookings for the time period i will be there in october.
i am hopeful i won't have to deal with construction going on.

you can list your preferences for your stay in your YouFirst Loews profile.
that is what i have done and it is honored each stay.
i set up my preferences when the program started and never have had to go back to change any of it.

how can you do that? I enrolled in YouFirst, but I have not found any way to include preferences
Thanks

go to www.loewshotels.com and sign in.

at the bottom of the left hand side of the page, you can put in choice of floor/high or low, and newspaper choice.

in the main section it's a different type of info you put in.

the website changed last month and the new one is a bit different from the ones in the past.
i knew the past wbsite very well, this one, i'm getting used to.

I don't know what you mean by "main section". I can't find anywhere on the Youfirst site that you can input any information other than high floor and which newspaper. I must be blind :/ .........can you please walk me throught he steps to get to the part where I can input my specific requests? I did call to request certain things but I like to see it in black and white (so to speak). Thanks.

main section is where you list your personal info such as address, credit card, contact info, etc.
the new site only has the two choices of paper and floor level.


you need to call and have any other requests put on your reservation.

Loews does not send out emails of your special requests.
if you call, ask them to read off your special requests on your ressie you previously made.
if they read the notes to you correctly, then it has been noted and will be picked up by the person who does the room assignments.

Anyone know, historically, what types of discounts are offered in late October (if any)? Wasn't sure if Universal runs the same promotions every year like Disney typically does. We'll be at RPR 10/28-10/30, and current have the AAA rate booked. Should we keep our eyes peeled for something better? Thanks!

Holiday week, normally have no problems selling out in advanced with really no discounts.

I heard that RPR is in renovation - does anybody know when each of the three towers will be refurbished? Thanks

 

[macraven]

T1 has 3 known floors completed.
have not read of how close they are to finishing the entire tower.

 

[MICKEY'S DREAMERS]

THANKS !! We are going in August, hope that there is not too much noise ....

you can request to be assigned a room in the tower that has been completed and not one that is under refurbishment.
i am guessing that 2 out of the 3 hotels will be completed.


and hopefully T3 will be done.
that is my favorite tower.

We stayed on the 7th floor tower 1 in a refurbed room. Very pleased and come to think of it, never heard or saw any construction whatsoever. Maybe one day I'll get pics up.....

Was it a shower only or did it have a tub?

We will be staying at RPR next month for the first time and I have no idea what to request. Should we ask to stay in Tower 1 in a refurbished room? If I booked through Orbitz, will I be allowed to add a room request?

 

[Kivara]

I was told by the staff a the front desk, that you have to call the hotel. I was told it's best to call about 2 weeks out, then again to confirm about 1 week out.
Nothing is guaranteed, but they try very hard to meet your requests.

Same questions + 1 more! Never been to Universal before and booked through Orbitz...can I put in a request? Would prefer a refurbished room but we are staying club level. Have the club level rooms been refurbished? Thanks for any helpful info!
