For me I wouldn’t pay anymore for HRH, arguably a few more places to eat and drink on site but the overall quality and experience I would say is a similar good quality. When are you thinking epic will open? - it looks tremendous

It’s totally unfair to start ranking a hotel that you haven’t even stayed at. We have booked Aventura precisely for the reason that not much is going on. When we stayed at Cabana Bay facilities such as the pool were far too busy. Some people actually like to get away from theming after a fun day of it in the park. Just because it’s not what you are looking for does not mean it isn’t meeting the needs of others

With exception of the first but I actually agree with most of what you have said….its all about opinion and I reviewed it as I found it. To be fair, that being said, I do intend to go and stay there and review again and probably think about it more from different travellers perspectives but for me, for my feelings, I was very disappointed.

Is this hotel worth a full 2 week stay ? From uk . Or instead stay in a aventura for 8/9 days and in the middle of the holiday go to royal pacific for 2/4 days ?
@OrlandowithPete
@OrlandowithPete Ай бұрын
Tough question - it’s certainly a nicer hotel the Aventura (IMO) must be said I have only visited the Aventura and not stayed but I wasn’t a fan based on that 1 visit - I will try to re-visit and stay to see if I think different. the main perk with RPR and what you pay extra for is the express passes. For the same luxury but a cheaper price tag I would consider Saphire Falls…I’ve a review video on that which is worth checking out. I don’t think I’d be paying for 2 weeks at RPR, although depends on how wealthy you are. Value for money for me is Saphire falls yet with the same luxury and if you want express passes a few days you could purchase separate or book a couple night at RPR. Hope that helps 😃

Hi, the rooms at DT Universal are all fairly similar. I imagine you will have a standard double queen room. Even the so called upgrade rooms are only a little more spacious and/or a corner room. I’ve stayed in 2 or 3 room formats and found them to be much the same. I think it’s a great hotel for a universal visit and I’d stay again 👍👌
