Loews Royal Pacific Resort

Veronika McGraw

As many have mentioned, cannot beat the location of it being so close to the parks that you can walk to and from within 8 -10 min. It is very convenient if you want to come back to the room and spend the afternoon in the swimming pool and then go back to the parks late at night or explore the city walk. They do have an excellent fitness room with the sauna, showers, etc., that we took advantage of close to the pool area. The resort property is beautiful, and you do feel like you are at a tropical place. They do a very nice job maintaining it. We stayed at other properties, both through universal and Disney and felt like this resort rooms could’ve been more updated for the price that you pay. Definitely need smart TVs and fixing the outlets. Resort / room cleanliness was 10 out of 10. They did a great job with that however. Otherwise, very pleased with the experience, would consider coming back to this hotel again. Just understanding what you pay for is mostly the location and seamless experience between the parks and the hotel.

Fantastic Stay at Loews Royal Pacific Resort! This hotel offers a beautiful tropical atmosphere, excellent service, and a perfect location just minutes from Universal parks. The Universal Express Unlimited Pass included with the stay is a game-changer, making park visits much smoother. Rooms are comfortable and clean, though some could use minor updates. The pool is spacious and relaxing, and the dining options, especially Jake’s American Bar, are top-notch. Parking and breakfast costs are a bit high, but overall, the experience was outstanding. Highly recommended—can’t wait to return! ✅ Pros: ✔️ Great location & free water taxi ✔️ Universal Express Pass included ✔️ Excellent service & atmosphere ⚠️ Cons: ❌ Extra cost for parking ❌ Some rooms could use updates

We had a lovely 4 night stay at Loews Royal Pacific Resort. We booked here because of the Express Unlimited offered with reservations and it's an excellent perk. That said, the hotel itself is a very nice place to stay; very clean and the staff are warm and friendly and helpful. The pool was very nice; we didn't make more use of it just because it was a little too cold outside (great for relaxing on our first day there, though). We appreciated the water taxi and the short walk to the parks; it was great to not feel like we needed a car. . We'll gladly stay here again.

The hotel has a beautiful lobby and great staff. The location is perfect. We always stay here when we visit Universal. However, the rooms could be better. The cleanliness in the room wasn’t great, and the bathroom doors were dirty. But overall, it’s fine, and we will continue to stay here because it’s so convenient. It’s one of the best hotels for visiting Universal and Islands of Adventure.

For the amount that we paid to stay here for two nights, I expected far better. The cost was nearly close to my monthly mortgage payment and I didn't get a wink of sleep, nor did my family. Traveling with two small children, we booked the king suite. Immediately upon checking into our room, we noticed we were adjacent to the elevator lobby. I immediately went to the front desk to request another room, knowing this would be a noise issue, especially with children. However, I was told that all the king suites had the same setup (apparently they are all next to the elevator - great planning on Loews' part!!). I was not offered any other option (not even a downgrade) - just a halfhearted "it's not that bad". So we stayed, hoping that was the case. Unfortunately, it was not. It was bad. Very bad. All night long, we either heard the dinging from the elevator lobby, or people tramping up and down the stairwell, which echoed into our room since that was right next to the elevator lobby. To top it off, we were on the main level, same as the main lobby, so we also had the privilege of listening to the drunks wandering around, laughing and shouting at each other while waiting for the elevator (or whatever they were doing) at all hours of the night. Then my kids were awakened (if they were even able to sleep at all) around 6am by the pipes in the wall howling as other guests started to wake up and take showers. There were other issues like coming back from a chilly day at the park to find whoever made up our room also turned our AC down to 65. When it's cold outside, this is not pleasant. The master bedroom TV didn't work the second night. The hotel was making announcements outside in the loudspeakers near our room all the way up until midnight. Just a horrible stay - after spending thousands on a spring break trip with children, we were all exhausted and understandably crabby the whole time. The only perk was the express passes that came with the hotel. But I would have been better off buying the express passes separately and staying at a Holiday Inn, far away from the elevator!! Very disappointed, not a family-friendly room even though that is clearly the point of the king suite.
