The hotel

Tropical gardens, swaying palms and calm waves characterise Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. And if you're looking for a real home from home, then the Deluxe Studios could be perfect for you. With kitchenettes to do your own cooking, and a little more space, these are perfect for families who want a bit of peace and quiet as well as the thrills of the parks. 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. The hotel is on the monorail system that will whizz you to the Magic Kingdom Park, and the dining (and drinking) options are endless! The Tiki Terrace at Trader Sam's Grog Grotto is a beautiful place to spend the evening, you might even catch the view of a few special fireworks going off nearby!

10/10 in every way. Hotel is so fun, beautiful, clean, festive, well staffed with the most attentive people. I can’t say enough great things about this place. Smiles from ear to ear from the entire family. Book a theme park view to watch the fireworks and boat show every night. Can’t wait to come back soon.

The place has become so hypercommercialized the staff act like they're working a daycare or need to attend one. The original polynesian has been gutted out and replaced with what looks like bad 3d printing . It's anti social, it's depressing, it's a corporate monster , and there is nothing left of the architects work. The MANAGEMENT here is the… Read more
The place has become so hypercommercialized the staff act like they're working a daycare or need to attend one. The original polynesian has been gutted out and replaced with what looks like bad 3d printing . It's anti social, it's depressing, it's a corporate monster , and there is nothing left of the architects work. The MANAGEMENT here is the absolute worst people I have seen even for Orlando...and that's pretty bad. It's as though they were obtained from incubators of clones. This rubs off on the traveller as it is so bad there is no way to avoid it...the staff are invasive and don't know their role anymore . A hotel like this is supposed to have staff that isn't seen but the staff act like it's theirs and run around in peoples personal space like annoying children... All the authentic south seas shops and dining have literally been removed. The original restaurant is now used as a housekeeping lounge and other employee space...... this building wasnt built for a bunch of mentally ill disney employees.... Read less

This is the third trip my family has made to the Poly, though it has been more than 10 years since our last visit. The resort is still delightful, and I appreciated the room renovations and soft goods upgrades that I had seen advertised. The location is ideal, especially with little ones who nap. However, the addition of the bungalows greatly impacts fireworks viewing and the pools are consistently overcrowded. The splash pad was too cold for me and my toddler niece, even on an 85+ degree day. Also, while my family found things to eat here, we tried to avoid the restaurants as we are not very adventurous and have some dietary restrictions, and most of the food is basic park fast-food (a la burgers and fries) or Polynesian-inspired fare. Captain Cook's also took a long time to prepare food and was expensive and overpriced for what you get (a juice box costs $3, a cup of cereal costs $4). If you stay here, do yourself a favor and order a grocery delivery. We saved a mint in doing so. Read less

The Poly is dreamy and wonderful. Loved almost everything about it - beds, decor, pools, location, easy parking and transportation. I will 10/10 stay here again. Worth every penny. One teeny area of criticism. The food options are not great. They are very much Polynesian themed and limited if you have dietary restrictions or the time of day.… Read more

If traveling any time Soon - note that if you’ve booked a standard room, there is a good chance that you will be facing a construction site. This means construction equipment running outside your window first thing in the morning. We were able to get a room change but I’m sure this is not always possible.

If traveling any time Soon - note that if you’ve booked a standard room, there is a good chance that you will be facing a construction site. This means construction equipment running outside your window first thing in the morning. We were able to get a room change but I’m sure this is not always possible. Once we were away from the construction, we had a great stay. The convenience to Magic Kingdom, pools, and grounds are great. The food can be hit or miss depending on your tastes. Read less
