We've been at the Poly three times before -- far and away our favorite resort. But we're two days in, and we won't be back. The construction is omnipresent -- you can't get anywhere without having to shift your direction. The path to the TTC now goes along the street -- the ceremonial house just exists on the edges. Everything is dominated by construction screens.
We're staying in a lagoon view in Hawaii and paying club level prices to be woken at 7 by cranes beeping and our view is of neon-clad construction workers and huts under construction. You have to walk down the beach to see the boat parade or get unobstructed of the fireworks and everyone is crammed together on a compressed bit of beach.
We expected the pool to be closed and the waterfall shut down. But we didn't expect construction to take over every single spect of the stay. For two rooms at 800 a piece a night they should have been more honest about what to expect. When we politely complained, we were given the choice to move to GF with garden view on the furthest building halfway through our stay but nothing club level on the monorail resorts. In the end they took off 100 per room per night, which is better, but it's still 1400 a night.
Sorry to vent but its been pretty grumpy here so far.
