Royal Pacific is always our #1 hotel to stay when we're visiting Universal!
Upon entry, we immediately valet our car, because the cost to self-park is just under the cost to valet, so to us it's simply worth the expense. The valet crew is always so accommodating and friendly!
Inside, the lobby is one of my favorites of all the park hotels. It's beautiful, relaxing, and it smells amazing!
The check-in process is always seamless, and the staff are always helpful, welcoming, and accommodating. I put in a request with my reservation for a room close to the elevator, and upon check-in when I asked about it, they could not see the request on their end. They apologized and fixed it immediately, even calling to confirm the floor manager that the room assigned to me was in fact close to the elevator AND matched my water view booking. Excellent service!
Next, the first floor dining room "Islands" has the BEST breakfast of all the hotels in my opinion! As a family of 5, it is crucial for us to get the day started right with breakfast for all of us. The dining room offers a buffet style breakfast option, and we automatically select it every time. Best breakfast before the parks!
Last but not least, your room key acts as an Unlimited Express Pass for the parks! This is the BIGGEST reason we choose to stay here. The cost alone of Unlimited Express Passes is more than the room. So we get both Express and an amazing hotel for the price of one!
Overall love Royal Pacific hotel. Best one!!
