On our recent trip to Universal Orlando resort we stayed at the Loews Royal Pacific Hotel. The hotel has a Polynesian theme to it. You are greeted with leis when you arrive at the hotel and a warm aloha. The hotel is absolutely beautiful with a courtyard in the lobby.
The check-in process was quick and easy however our room was not ready quite yet. They will give you your room key and then text you when your room is ready. We have not had the best of luck with this process at hotels for some reason I never get a text. So if you have not received a text by 4pm be sure to stop back at the front desk.

The Room
Our room had two queen beds with a view of CityWalk. The sink is separate from the rest of the bathroom which works well when trying to get ready in the morning. Just note we had a beautiful shower in our room, if you have a child that is too young or doesn’t like showers you will want to ask for a room with a bathtub.
There is a mini fridge in the tv stand which is great to hold bottles of water. The coffee pot is also located in the dresser. I loved that Loews had half and half along with a whole container of sugar packets – made my morning! Our beds were comfortable and how beautiful is the purple and gray color scheme! S loved the room since her favorite color is purple.

Have you stayed at one of Loews hotels? Have you stayed onsite at Universal Orlando?
[…] We loved their Unlimited Express Pass, which allowed us to enter a shorter line for almost all the rides (not Harry Potter ones) as many times as we wanted at any time we wanted to. Plus the Unlimited Express Pass is complimentary when staying onsite at a deluxe hotel (see my review of the Loews Royal Pacific Resort) […]
