Just returned from a week stay at the Poynesian, Samoa, pool side! (May 27 - June 3) Loved the location for a great view and close to Great Ceremonial House! However, if you have napping children or like to go to sleep before 11pm, the noise level from the pool could be too much. There are a lot of fences up, but walkways were open to get where we needed. East (quiet) pool was still open! Resort seemed less crowded than I would have thought. Probably from the construction scare and there were buildings being rehabbed. Thought attendance at parks would be a little lighter since a lot of schools in USA weren't out yet, but parks were terribly crowded! Just had to make use of EMH! Extra evening hours were more crowded than morning! Still think the Polynesian is the best place to stay!
