"It's value over frills at the enormous, 2,880-room Disney Pop Century." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of Disney’s four “value” resorts, this homage to pop culture is as popular with adults as children."
Rough Guide "Devoted to mammoth pop icons from each decade of the second half of the twentieth century, this is Disney’s largest hotel."
Fodor's "Giant jukeboxes, 65-foot-tall bowling pins, an oversized Big Wheel and Rubik's Cube, and other pop-culture memorabilia are scattered throughout the grounds of this value resort." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Part of the family of Disney Value Resorts at Walt Disney World, Disney’s Pop Century Resort is inspired by all things pop culture from the 1950’s through the 1990’s." Full review
Gayot "Pop culture buffs as well as kids will enjoy this trivia-infused maze of eras."
Frommer's "The largest Value resort is a fair choice, with smallish rooms—one king bed or two queens with cubbies instead of closets, one sink, and one mirror, and for dining, a heaving central food court" Full review
Lonely Planet "Each section pays homage to a different decade of the late 20th century, with massive bowling pins that extend beyond the roof and giant Play Doh." Full review

Fodor's "The entrance... sets the tone for the Pacific Rim theme of this hotel, which lies amid 53 acres of lush shrubs, soaring bamboo, orchids, and palms." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Guests at this resort are stranded on a breathtaking Pacific island paradise, with a lagoon-style pool and play area, Emeril’s Tchop Chop restaurant (a must for adults), and superior service."
Rough Guide "The comfortable rooms here are decked out in bamboo to enhance the “tropical” theme, while the kids will enjoy the lagoon-style pool. $289."
Star Service "Competing just below its siblings Hard Rock Hotel and the Portofino Bay Hotel, this savvy South Pacific wannabe is the most laid back of the three." Full review
Gayot "Orlando is no stranger to themed hotels and the Royal Pacific, a member of the Loews hotels, may be one of the most unique."

""Universal Park perks", including "proximity" (a "short ride over in the water taxi") and "early access to the parks", are a "huge bonus" to staying at this "family-friendly" Orlando resort."
Travel + Leisure "With the lagoon-style pool, complete with beaches, palm trees, and an abandoned prop plane, The Loews Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Orlando recreates a piece of the South Pacific." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Luxurious South Seas-themed resort at Universal Orlando, where carved-wood décor is punctuated by bright Balinese umbrellas as the sweet scent of orchids fills the air." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Kids will love the family-friendly pool, with real sand, and the 6pm 'dive in movie' where they can swim while watching a pool-side screen showing the likes of Harry Potter and Universal favorites." Full review
