Need advice! Which floor to request for Poly conceirge?

[scrapper]

I know the lounge is on the 2nd, the 1st floor seems good because it may be easy an access in/out- but what about the views & balconies? Is the 3rd floor for smokers? I was planning on requesting the 2nd. We have 3 children 1,5, & 9 yrs old. Which would floor would you choose?
Thanks for helping me out, Diane

I would try and get the first floor. You can walk right out to the beach, the views are good, room 1207 was ours and we really liked it! Great view! We could see the castle right through two palm trees.

If you have a LV I would request ground floor. If you have a GV I would request a 2nd floor room

We had first floor GV with our 2 yr old because we used our own stroller and it was easy in and out. However, each morning on our way out to the parks one of us would run up the stairs to the lounge and grab some water bottles. We didn't use the patio because it was too hot! If you don't mind waiting a little bit for the elevator, I would request 2nd floor. It would just be easier accessing the lounge. Have a great vacation!

Keep in mind that there are no balconies on the second floor. You can slide the door open, etc., but can't step out.

We have a six and nine year old and they loved being on first floor and being able to step right out onto the beach. I'm sure they would have been just as enthralled with stepping out on garden side as well. The only potential negative is privacy concerns, but on our two stays, this has not been a concern in any way.

The third floor does have the balconies, but as you mention it is indeed a smoking floor. The various reviews seem somewhat hit and miss as to how noticeable the odor is - some say their room had no smell, others feel like they stepped into a Shriner's Convention.

I can just say that for us, first floor was the way to go and we had no problems. Good luck!

We had requested a first floor because I wanted to be as far away from smoke as possible (I'm very smoke-sensitive), but we were given a second floor room. It was not a problem at all, in fact we liked it. No smoke smell at all. For the record, my kids and hubby took a walk up to the third floor hall and said it had a very strong smoke smell.

ENJOY!!
