The hotel

Tropical gardens, lavish luaus and calm waves characterise Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. Gentle people, laughter and good cheer help every member of the family to capture that laid-back South Pacific mood in no time at all. Rooms are airy and have a tropical feel with bamboo and wood décor. When exploring the resort, tell the kids to look out for the unique Kukai Nut tree. The only one of its kind in the state of Florida, the tree was brought to the Walt Disney World Resort from its native Hawaii. The hotel is on the monorail system that will whizz you to the Magic Kingdom Park.

I hate it. Haven't had a good night sleep one all week. I am actually sitting in my hotel room writing this. Every morning at 6 a.m. sharp the start to powerwash the sidewalks right outside the rooms. When I asked for them to stop, Apparently they can not inconvenience the hotel guest with noise at 10 a.m. they sacrifice the few for the many. I worked so hard for this vacation and to do something for my daughter that my parents didn't have the opportunity to do. When I completed I was met with an "oh well". I hate it, can't sleep well. It ruins the rest of my day. Thank for waiting 4 years of savings. Should have saved it for college instead. Happiest place on earth? I'd be happy too taking this much money from people. -Ryan Underwood Read less

I went with my family and grandchild. The person at the front desk upon arrival handed us leis. The couch in the room was red and worn. We stayed at Moorea. They only give new towels and room cleaning every 4 days. By then most families are leaving.

I went with my family and grandchild. The person at the front desk upon arrival handed us leis. The couch in the room was red and worn. We stayed at Moorea. They only give new towels and room cleaning every 4 days. By then most families are leaving. The luggage concierge refused to hold my one bag on my last day so that I could attend a character breakfast for my grandson at the Contrmpirary Resort so I was forced to lug it to monorail where the police told me my locked suitcase would have to be searched thoroughly before getting on at Poly and again after breakfast returning from Contemporary Resort so my family went on without me, I missed the breakfast and waited the two hours for the Magical Express , which is not running anymore as of Jan. 2022 , then flew home. Pools were great and plenty of towels there. Good service everywhere was great as well. The front end people still concierge desk I wasn’t overly pleased with but whatever! Too many heavy set people using scooters , rides stopping mid way to get them On and off rides. Same with monorails and sky rides. Scooters in fat excess of what should be! Read less
Image of the Tripadvisor rating Beautiful renovations and it’s a deluxe category resort but the amenities are not there! Ask yourself if it’s worth it!

We love the Polynesian. With the Moana renovations, we couldn’t wait to take our granddaughter. Luckily the monorail has reopened now as well. This is a deluxe category resort with pricing $600 to almost 1k per night for a non-suite room. With that being said, you expect a certain level of amenities. Virtual check in is recommended.

We love the Polynesian. With the Moana renovations, we couldn’t wait to take our granddaughter. Luckily the monorail has reopened now as well. This is a deluxe category resort with pricing $600 to almost 1k per night for a non-suite room. With that being said, you expect a certain level of amenities. Virtual check in is recommended. Ok fine—but it’s really lacking warmth. Maybe put the welcome packs from the travel agents or the leis in the rooms ahead of time. Housekeeping can be declined. But it’s only every other day unless you want to pay extra. Again I’m okay with that but at least put the bag liners in the trash cans. I felt like I was at home on trash duty. We would put our food trash out in the hall each night from mobile ordering. I was also expecting room service. Nope—only the Grand Floridian has that service. Mobile ordering is pushed. But you have to wait for a time slot to put your order in and then someone has to pick it up. Little ones can be very off by the end of the day after the parks. The workers did a great job and there were no issues with orders but I was really looking forward to being treated to deluxe services. All cast members, even the contractors working on the unfinished buildings were all friendly and totally were in the Disney spirit. Food was also very good quality. Masks in the parks were brutal. Everyone had a rash on their face by the end of the week. Even rides that were primarily outside, certain workers demanded masks. It should be a choice. We are all vaccinated. I’m also not buying any of the photos since we’re all wearing masks! I’m really just put off by the cost with not all the amenities. Will we go back? I’m sure we will—but if it’s not completely the experience I’m paying for I may consider staying off the property at a fraction of the cost. Why do things half way but charge the same? I work hard to be able to do this for my family. Anyway the renovations are beautiful and we still had a great time! Read less

lots of renovations. many buildings being remodeled with new beds and furniture that is clearly visible through the open blinds. Bungalows on the water seemed nice but I bet are pricey. Place was nice, clean, and well groomed beachfront. Perfect spot to view the MK fireworks. Ohana and Kona Cafe are OPEN. Downstairs the art store has since been closed and turned into a DVC sales center but the Polynesian shop is still open. Lobby seemed as though nothing has changed but the monorail and great ceremonial hall is still being worked on the exterior. all in all great time Read less
