Location: Universal vs Kissimmee

Universal's Loews Royal Pacific Resort – Location

Loews Royal Pacific sits on Universal Orlando property with short walk or water-taxi access to Universal parks and CityWalk.

  • Walking distance to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and CityWalk (roughly a 6–15 minute walk depending on entrance).
  • Complimentary water-taxi and shuttle service to Universal parks; dedicated shuttle to Epic Universe.
  • About a 20-minute drive to Orlando International Airport (MCO) listed as closest major airport.

Best option if proximity to Universal theme parks and quick park access are priorities.

Encore Resort and Water Park at Reunion by Rentyl – Location

Encore Resort and Water Park at Reunion by Rentyl is in Kissimmee, positioned for families who plan to visit multiple Orlando-area attractions.

  • Located in Kissimmee and within about a 10–15 minute drive of several Disney venues (Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney Springs referenced as ~15 minutes).
  • Complimentary theme park shuttle available for guests planning park days.
  • Near Reunion Resort golf courses and other Kissimmee-area leisure attractions.

Better suited to guests who want a Kissimmee base with resort amenities and shuttle access rather than immediate Universal proximity.

Rooms: Hotel rooms vs vacation-style units

Universal's Loews Royal Pacific Resort – Rooms

Royal Pacific is a traditional hotel with roughly 1,000 guest rooms and multiple suite options for families.

  • Room types include Standard Rooms, Club Rooms, and multiple suite configurations (including themed kids’ suites).
  • Rooms offer standard hotel amenities and Club Level with a private lounge on select rooms.
  • In-room features/support include free WiFi, rollaway requests and accessible rooms.

Pick Royal Pacific for standard hotel rooms near theme parks, with suite upgrades available for families.

Encore Resort and Water Park at Reunion by Rentyl – Rooms

Encore offers about 800 individually decorated guestrooms/units that include kitchens and private balconies/patios.

  • Units include kitchens with full-sized refrigerators/freezers and ovens—useful for families who want to self-cater.
  • Private furnished balconies or patios are common across units.
  • Housekeeping may be available on request (fees vary by unit size); some fees apply for rollaways and cribs.

Encore is a better fit when you want in-unit kitchens, extra space, and a self-sufficient feel for family stays.

Dining & drinks: Multiple on-site choices vs fewer full-service restaurants

Universal's Loews Royal Pacific Resort – Dining & drinks

Royal Pacific offers several full-service restaurants, a sushi bar, poolside bar and a market-style cafe.

  • Islands Dining Room serves Pan-Asian/New American with breakfast and dinner offerings.
  • Jake’s American Bar and Orchid Court Lounge & Sushi Bar provide casual and evening options; Bula Bar & Grille serves poolside food and drinks.
  • 24-hour room service and nightly entertainment options (e.g., Wantilan Luau, a separately ticketed event).

More variety for on-site dining and late-night options—convenient after park days.

Encore Resort and Water Park at Reunion by Rentyl – Dining & drinks

Encore has two restaurants, a coffee shop/cafe, a poolside bar and complimentary buffet breakfast.

  • Finns Restaurant is the onsite American dining option; a second restaurant and cafe/snack options are available.
  • Complimentary buffet breakfast is offered daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM.
  • Room-service options are limited/available during selected hours; kitchens in many units reduce dining dependence on restaurants.

Fewer on-site dining venues but in-unit kitchens and a buffet breakfast make it practical and economical for families.

Pools and water features: Lagoon pool vs water park

Universal's Loews Royal Pacific Resort – Pools and water features

Royal Pacific centers on a lagoon-style, zero-entry heated pool with a sandy beach and splash zone.

  • One large lagoon-style pool with an interactive splash area for kids, plus two hot tubs.
  • Lifeguards on duty and towel service provided; pool cabanas available for a surcharge.
  • Pool hours generally run long (hours vary seasonally); no waterslide or on-site water park.

Choose Royal Pacific for a themed hotel pool and easy supervision after park days, but not for a full water-park experience.

Encore Resort and Water Park at Reunion by Rentyl – Pools and water features

Encore provides an on-site complimentary water park experience with slides and multiple pool options.

  • Free water park access is listed as a featured amenity; property features at least one outdoor pool, waterslides and a children’s pool.
  • Lifeguard on site and pool cabanas available (surcharge) with heated pool options.
  • Pool and water-park programming, arcade and kids’ club add family entertainment at the resort.

Encore is the stronger choice if an on-site water park and multiple water-play options are priorities.

Wellness & nightlife: Fitness, spa access and evening options

Universal's Loews Royal Pacific Resort – Wellness & nightlife

Royal Pacific offers a sizable 24-hour fitness center and access to an off-site full-service spa at a sister hotel.

  • 24-hour fitness center with cardio and strength equipment, Peloton bikes and classes.
  • Spa services are available via Mandara Spa at neighboring Loews Portofino Bay Hotel—book via concierge.
  • Evening entertainment options include lobby bars, live music at Jake’s and the Wantilan Luau weekly event.
