Official APH Rate Info for Universal Loews Hotel Properties

My CBBR rate also dropped from $124 to $114 a night today for April 19-24.

EDITED: is it normal for the deposit to not be correct now? I paid $139.50 deposit for the $124 a night price. It now shows the deposit is $128.25, so I am missing $11. I called and asked about it and they said they are able to see the change and it will balance out when I check in. When I went in the Fall, I also was able to get a better rate, but then the deposit amount stayed the same.
Check your email. I got a 40% offer for CBBR and aventura today which is lower than my current rate.

I received the email offer also but unfortunately the rate is still higher then Aph rates. I'm curious if the Aph rates will go down now
 


Is there any chance Royal Pacific wouldn't honor the AP rate if you book the AP rate without having an actual AP in hand? I plan to buy the 2 day park-to-park ticket + 2 free days for all 4 of us, then upgrade one ticket to a seasonal AP once we arrive. Or would it be better to just order 1 seasonal AP pass online when booking the AP rate, and add 3 2-day park-to park tickets? I would still have to activate the AP upon arrival, so would Royal Pacific still honor the AP rate? Changing our booking to the AP rate would save about $375.

Not a chance - they require you to show them your AP prior to check-out, not check in.

So would it be better to buy all 4 park to park tickets online when I book the AP rate for the resort, then upgrade 1 ticket to a seasonal AP when we get there, or would it be better to just go ahead and order 1 seasonal AP pass online with the 3 2-day park-to park tickets? Then I would just activate the AP upon arrival vs. upgrading to the AP. Or does it even matter?

It honestly doesn’t matter. You can do all the ticket stuff right at the hotel so whether you buy what you need from the onset or upgrade at the hotel/park doesn’t matter because you have to go to the desk to get your physical tickets anyways. If it were me, I would just buy what I want from the get-go and pick them up at the hotel.
 
You can book a room w/AP discount
But you are asked to see the AP day before you check out to hold that booked rate

Your room rate will be changed to present rate costs if no ap
 
Royal Pacific AP rate just went down for end of May.

I booked with the lower RPR rate but still kept my PBH reservation because I can't decide... Before when PBH was less it was a no brainer because we love this hotel. We also love RPR but just prefer the amenities at PBH a little more. But do I enjoy them enough to spend $113 more??? It's only about $28 per night more for PBH but the saver in me is conflicted...

I have never stayed at PBH and wanted to. My kid could care less. He honestly would rather be closer to the parks. So, saved $200 for my trip.
 
I have a question...I use to be able to have the option on the Universal sight when looking at the hotels to put in the code (APH), now the sight changed and I don't seem to see that option-would it come up automatically (the aph rates) for my dates?? Just want to make sure I'm not missing it-we're going Aug 9-14th at RP and booked in a King suite as of now-Thanks!!

Use the link on the first page of this thread and it will automatically take you to the Aph rates if they are available
 
My husband was determined to stay in a King suite at RP and we are going May 25-29th. Previously I was getting AP discounts on other room types but not the King Suite. Just checked and was able to save us $50 a night on a King suite. Yay!! :D It definitely pays to keep checking.

I am in this same dilemma! We are going end of May and would save the same amount if we switched back to RPR. I think i'll just wait and see if rates go even lower. Seems unlikely but you never know!

That is what we are doing too. We have a Bay View Room at the PBH over Memorial Weekend, and if we switched to a Standard Room at RPH, we would save about $70 per night. But we have never had a Bay View Room, so I want to keep it at this point.
 
An AP rate for a standard 2 Queen at RPR at the end of June is now available for my dates! I saved $437 for my 4 night stay. The rate is $289 per night.
