We stayed at the Polynesian for our first trip to Disney World with our children, ages 4, 3 and 10 months. We wanted to be on the monorail for easy transportation to and from the parks. It was worth it and I don't think we will stay anywhere else but a monorail resort in the future. Our room was clean... More

I've waited several days to write my review, because I wanted to make sure that we were indeed bitten by bed bugs at the Polynesian. When bites manifested on my husband today, I knew for sure. We stayed at the Poly from 5/14-5/18. The day after our arrival, I noticed bites in groups of three on my arm. I figured... More

We initially decided to stay at the Polynesian because of it's proximity to the parks and the fact that the monorail ran right through the hotel. I expected a nice hotel for the price and I wasn't disappointed. The theming was wonderful and consistent throughout the entire property, from the grounds to the exterior to the lobby to the rooms...

We stayed at the Polynesian hotel in Disney last May and what a nice surprise it was. Great big room, centrally located on the monorail and it had a fun kid friendly pool that also featured a bar that daddy could enjoy, too. Took in the Luau show and despite the corny hostess and Cheech Marin sounding co- host (?),... More

We stayed at the Polynesian for 7 nights in May. We chose it because of the convenience (10 min monorail ride direct to Epcot; one stop to MK; easy access to Grand Floridian and Wilderness Lodge) and the pool area, which is far and away the best of the deluxe resorts. We were in a non-renovated room in Fiji overlooking... More

We stayed at the Polynesian for the second time in April/May and again had a nice time. However, we did have a problem with the room to which we were initially assigned. We were first given a room with only 1 king bed (contrary to our request for 2 queens) and were unable to move until the second day of... More

We stayed in the polynesian, it had recently been redone! We loved it! Club Level too! Very clean very very pleased with the property. The Volocano pool was a huge hit with our little boy. The Ohanu Breakfast was amazing! Stay in the club level if you can't it truly is worth it.

We stayed in Roratonga which had just been renovated. It was very nice and roomy. The grounds are so beautiful. The location cannot be beat! Two stops from Magic Kingdom and a short walk to the TTC to get to Epcot. It is however very frustrating to pay top dollar for this resort and not even be able to eat... More

My family stayed here this past April and had a fabulous time! The hotel is gorgeous and relaxing. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The pool is awesome and was so refreshing after very hot days at the park. I like the bus attendant during the week but I feel there should be a few more buses. One important... More
