Loews Royal Pacific Resort


Loews Royal Pacific Resort is one of three Premier level accommodations at Universal Orlando Resort.  With wonderful amenities and a South Pacific feel, it's almost a vacation in and of itself! 

 
Accommodations

Loews Royal Pacific has three main types of rooms; Standard, Club Level, and Suites.  The most common room type is the Standard which can vary in view and location but otherwise comes with everything you need for an enjoyable and relaxing stay.

Dining

There is something for everyone at this resort, from Polynesian-inspired fare at Islands Dining Room, American favorites at Jake's American Bar to sushi at Orchid Court Lounge.  In addition to three full service restaurants, there is also a quick service option by the pool and a grab and go/coffee shop off the lobby.  If that wasn't enough options for you, they also offer 24-hour room service!

Amenities

It's hard to miss the beautiful lagoon-style pool at the resort. It is serene and relaxing while also fun for all ages.  There is a water play area for kids, and a pool bar for adults which also serves delicious food for the family. There is also a fitness center nearby located on the ground floor to keep up your fitness routine while on your trip.

There are of course hotel basics like Concierge, Bell Services, and a Gift Shop off the lobby. Additionally, there is conference and meeting space if you'd like to hold an event at the resort. 
Perks

First up, location: When you stay at Royal Pacific you are never more than 10 minutes from anything at Universal Orlando Resort.  You can utilize all the transportation options (more information below) including water taxis and a walking path.  What could be more convenient than that?

Staying on-site at a Universal Orlando resort hotel also comes with complimentary perks, what could be better?  For staying at a Premier Level hotel, you will gain not only early park access (30 mins to an hour before other guests for select parks) but you will also get the Universal Express Unlimited Pass. This allows you to skip the line for almost every attraction at Universal Studios Florida and Universal's Islands of Adventure.  This could easily save you hundreds of dollars, but also gives you plenty of time back in your day to either do more attractions or enjoy some R&R at the resort. 

Transportation

There are four different ways you can get to the Universal Orlando Resort attractions from this hotel.  To Universal CityWalk (which you can then reach Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure) you can take a quick water taxi ride, a 10-15 minute walk along a beautiful path, or grab a pedi-cab (they are free but the drivers work for tips, so it's best if you have cash.)  For Volcano Bay, there is a shuttle bus that runs regularly throughout the day.

House of Blues Brunch

Brunch is probably my favorite meal to go out for, and Disney Springs has some hidden gems in the brunch department. House of Blues offers weekend brunch with one of the best deals on property, bottomless mimosas!  If you’re up for it, House of Blues offers a laid back atmosphere with live music for brunch. It is available Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 2pm, with the full menu available after 12pm. We were sat in the back room where we couldn’t see the stage but could hear it and it was a great vibe!  Bottomless mimosas and coffee were the popular choice for beverages, but they also offer a variety of brunch cocktails and other options. Bottomless mimosa! We were a party of 8 and hungry, so we started with an order of nachos from the lunch menu and they were a HUGE portion, so glad we had a lot of people to share them with.  BBQ Nachos - Four cheese sauce, avocado, roasted corn salsa, pickled red onion, tomato, Memphis BBQ sauce, cilantro crema, cotija cheese. Chicken, Brisket or Pul

Giovanni's Table on Liberty of the Seas

Royal Caribbean Cruise Line has wonderful specialty dining options on all of their ships.  They all have some variety of an Italian restaurant and I've tried Jamie's Italian on the Symphony of the Seas and now Giovanni's Table on Liberty of the Seas. The restaurant is located by the Windjammer Buffet, tucked off to one side as you enter the area.  Once inside, the atmosphere is dark and cozy, very different from the buffet hectic world outside the doors.  There is an open kitchen along the one wall and windows along the other.  The restaurant is a set upcharge, and then you can order whatever you want from the food menu that is to your liking throughout the meal.  Giovanni's is actually undergoing some changes on a lot of RCCL ships, but Liberty hadn't had those changes yet so it was still the "old" one, which was fine by us. We had an amazing meal here, and wouldn't hesitate to come back again on a future cruise.  You might see Giovanni's Kitchen

5 Ways To Get Psyched For Your Disney Trip!

Hey-Howdy-Hey, Disney Guys and Gals!      Is anyone familiar with Barney Stinson's "Get Psyched" Mix? Anyone? How I Met your Mother Fans? Ok, great! So you totally get where I'm going with this! If you have no idea what I am talking about, you can watch a clip  HERE!  Basically, the theory is that no matter what's going on in your life, you can get yourself psyched up and ready for something awesome to happen, all by listening to the right piece of music. Playing off of that theory, I feel that one of the very best things about a Disney trip is actually  preparing  for it, or getting psyched! You can have a whole bunch of crappy stuff happening in your life at the time, but if you have a Disney trip on the horizon... even if it's 564 days away, you have something to look forward to and enjoy preparing yourself for. In fact, many Disney fans, (myself included), pretty much get from one day to the next by preparing for upcoming trips. You may even book a ne
