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."
