Just Returned from Poly Concierge

[Mamu]

Just returned home from Poly Concierge and it was awesome.

I had tried to get concierge before we left, no availability. Checked at check-in and they had just opened more rooms.

The new rooms are brighter and you melt in the new beds. I don't know it there the heavenly beds, but after a long humid day in the parks they sure were heavenly.

I loved the espresso, cappuccino machine.

The staff was great, the food offerings very good.

Loved the flat screen TV's. Yes we did watch a little TV especially the Weather Channel when we returned at night.

Any questions maybe I can help.

No there still working yet we never heard a sound. or saw anyone working.

We loved the lounge, plus the small 3 floor lounge was a heaven when you needed to escape the hustle and bustle of the food lounge.

What is a appropriate amount to tip the councierge staff/chef?

What kind of offerings were in the lounge? (I've never stayed, so I can't compare) I'm just wondering if things have changed from previous reports.

Yes I always tip the staff before leaving. They pool there tip money. I usually write a little note thanking them and add $10 a day. No you don't have to but I find they are so helpful. They do pamper you.
