Disappointment with Tokelau Longhouse

[gdrj]

I noticed these things, too, on my recent stay (this past week). I won't be back anytime soon unless I hear of improvement. And I am penning a letter to the GM, noting the bad, and the good, but emphasizing the bad. I was not impressed with this last stay. How sad.

I would encourage you to write to DVC as well. The more guests speak up the better.

We stayed in a new room at Moorea last early May...the conditions have gone downhill. Disney has to re-invest on the upkeep if they want to continue to appeal to an upscale market, which seems to be their new "business model".

Everyone has made valid points. I guess an empty resort will be what it takes to correct some of these guest grievances. I'm at a loss.

Yes, but an empty resort won't happen because there is just something about the Poly that is dreamy even when things are not just right.

We just stayed in Moorea last week. Loved the room but not the first floor location. As much as I've read about this resort I didn't realize we wouldn't be able to see the Electrical Water Pageant at all, or really have such a narrow sliver of water view.

Anyway, the glass on the slider to outside was all but falling out of the frame and there was a gap where critters could get in. Dangerous in a few ways! Hard to believe no one else noticed or reported Maintenance did come right away and tape it up, I hope the room was taken out of service for further repair. My daughter loved the shower design and jumped right in, too much water gets outside the shower door onto the floor, bad design or tile installation, not sure, but I wouldn't tolerate that at home. We ordered room service and called for dishes to be picked up about 8:30pm. I pretty much knew they wouldn't be picked up and covered food waste with plastic wrap; the next morning tray and dishes still on the floor outside the room with bugs crawling around. Same huge bags of trash in hallways for 2 days. Even with these annoyances I hope to stay again.

I *want* to buy Poly DVC but my practical side wins out for now, and I'll be content to stay once in awhile on our existing points when possible or pay for cash stay occasionally, until I see view categories changed and a better price available.

If it makes you feel any better, my second story room couldn't see the Electrical Water pageant either, and I don't think the 3rd story rooms would be able to either, the bungalows are in front of it.
