Just back from 8 nights at the Poly, CL. We had a wonderful stay. We ended up on the first floor, all the way down (from the main Hawaii entrance), facing the bungalows in room 1518 (I think...) I am fairly certain we were booked for the 'cheapest' view per our rate, but we sat on our little patio every night and watched Wishes, our view only partially obscured by palm trees and the bungalows roofline. I was amazed at how much we could see. We could've walked out from the patio and gone 20 yards or so to the left for a perfect view, but I am lazy and preferred to sit with my wine in our own little space.
Mousekeeping was very friendly but I wasn't super impressed with their services, at least not compared to our other stays. My only other real "complaint" was that one day we decided to hit the oasis pool. There were zero "available seats" but tons of them with the Poly white towels thrown on them and no other personal belongings. I am dealing with a knee injury right now, and my friend who was traveling with me just finished a long and painful two-year battle with breast cancer that culminated in a double mastectomy and extensive surgery in her abdomen (preventative precautions against ovarian/uterine cancer). Anyways, we don't fancy ourselves special snowflakes, we just wanted a place to sit comfortably with my kids. We found one of the tables with four chairs that had one white towel on it, and decided to just claim it. The nice folks at the table next to it said they hadn't seen anyone coming or going from it since they'd been there, for at least a half an hour. We'd been at the volcano pool earlier and CMs were going around clearing chairs with just the white towels (and no personal items). We'd been sitting for less than a minute when a woman huffed over from a large group of people who were occupying a row of eight loungers, and she told me that was their "eating table" and we needed to move so they could sit there while they ate. So they had not only the eight loungers (not all occupied), but they were also laying claim to the four-top table. I didn't feel like arguing (at least not then, but once I had two rum runners in me I was feeling kind of feisty......) so we just left. Twenty minutes later they still had not moved to that table. An hour later a few of them had moved but no food was ever brought over.
Not that I'm holding a grudge or anything.
