Frommer's "What appears to be a rather simple-looking hotel from the exterior gives way to an inviting and modern interior, with trendy touches throughout." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Recent renovations have made this upscale resort even more impressive than before."
Rough Guide "An upmarket hotel with spacious and comfortable rooms, a bright and airy atrium, an onsite spa, and a good location directly opposite SeaWorld Orlando. $249."
Michelin Guide "The exterior of the ten floor hotel... situated close to Sea World and other area attractions, is architecturally uninspiring, but its interior reveals a cavernous sunlit atrium."
Star Service "Located across the road from Sea World, this Shamu-sized hotel continues to prove one of the best hotels outside of the park." Full review
Gayot "Across from SeaWorld Orlando, this hotel is among the finest off harried International Drive."
Zagat3.5
"Whether "for business or pleasure", this "beautiful" Orlando resort, "right across from SeaWorld", offers an "air of luxury"."
Fodor's "With a vast and airy 10-story atrium full of ponds, palm trees, and, ironically, a sushi bar, this SeaWorld neighbor underwent a substantial renovation in 2013." 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."
Zagat3.7

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
