Very relaxing... We will be back!!
I visited the Polynesian with my wife, daughter, and my daughter’s friend (both 13yrs old). We paid right at 100$ a night for our five day four night stay. We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa and it was really nice, clean, and very comfortable. This place had all the comforts of home and then some. Washer, dryer, frig with ice maker, all the cooking utensils you will need, and plenty of room to enjoy and relax. The guess room had two twin beds, a private balcony, and a large bathroom (that also had a door leading to the common area) with a shower/bath combo. The master had a very large balcony (large enough for two recliners plus a table with chares) with a great view of one of the pools. The master bath was enormous and consisted of a private toilet with door, whirlpool bath, a two sink vanity, and a large stand up shower. The unit had nice décor although the TVs are very outdated… but who comes on vacation to watch TV. The staff members (from the security guards to the front desk) were friendly and very helpful to any question or request that we had. We did however get the dreaded sales call the first morning of our stay, and although the lady was noticeably disappointed that we were not interested in timeshare… there was no pressure and the call ended politely which is not usually the case with these timeshare sales pitches. They supply you with plenty of bath towels and separate pool towels, and give you a complementary pack of soap powder. So about mid week we washed the used towels and it never was a problem. Another plus is that you are literally 2 minutes away from a 24 hour Wal-Mart and within 15 minute or less from almost anything else you would need (shopping, restaurants, amusement and water parks). We stayed gone most of the time during the day visiting beaches and the Florida attractions; so many times we couldn’t wait to get back to the room to relax in the evenings. The grounds were very quiet at night and we didn’t even know that there were people in the surrounding units. After the late nights sipping chilled wine on the balcony overlooking the pool while smoking my favorite cigar to end each day… I DIDN”T WANT TO LEAVE.
Just a note: A friend of mine and his family were also in Florida at the same time we were but stayed at a different timeshare resort that he was a member of. His resort was MUCH bigger and had many more things to do on the grounds of the resort (paddle boats, movie theater, tennis courts, a restaurant, etc…). But even he agreed that the amenities weren’t nearly as nice as the Polynesian (the room, the pool, being able to get from the front gate to your room without getting in a traffic jam, etc…) They push the tours hard at his resort so you get every walk of life there… and lets just face it… everybody just don’t know how to act in public. And that statement has no bearing on race or ethnicity… it called simple home training and being courteous to those around you!!! Every inch of his resort was VERY crowded especially the pools… all 13 of them. And it was wide open all night long… so I could just imagine the noise at night. I’m just sayin…
