Just back from Poly and the RPR

[mezmom]

We just arrived here in Europe this am so please forgive any typos!
We stayed at the RPR from Oct 8-13. It was very clean and is a very nice resort. Universal has its good and bad points. I am not crazy about CityWalk.
Poly; we checked in early with a lovely CM and were given GV in Tokelau. I did not expect to get into the room at 11:00 am, but yes, it was ready. Now, coming from a similar themed resort, I can see why some people question the "value" of the Poly. I found the musty smells seemed to come from outside the building. The room was in ok shape, no more, but is was nice a big room. I agree the TV is not up to par at a deluxe resort. It was just clean, nothing more and I even found toenails on the bathroom floor. I thought the pools were nice and due to our location had no problems with the noise.
I feel sorry for the poster who spoke of all the problems she had with her room. There seems to be communication problems at the Poly.
To us, it seemed like a 3 Trident Club Med. I liked some parts of it but not all of it. Would I go again?? Probably not, I think I would try the WL.
When I am not so tired I will write about our dining experiences ...

Yikes ! That's pretty bad ! We're heading back to RPR in Dec - stayed there the summer they opened and also found it to be nice, clean, though small - a good value for the price. Have never stayed at the Poly - have visited WL and love the atmosphere there - also loved AKL. Thanks for the review

I wouldn't consider that clean. Finding a stray hair is one thing, but toenails? YIKES!

I do ,however, hope you had a good time in Orlando. Can't wait to hear your restaurant reviews
