The Poly was our 1st resort. Even though we have tried others GF, CR, BWI, POR, the family majority feels the most at home at the Poly. I can say that the layout of the resort is really desirable. The beach, pool, and Captain Cook's are really close together. We had one room that was gross. It was before the resort was renovated. We hate to complain but we were staying 10 nights and we did not see any other choice. The management moved us immediately--no problem. It is no doubt a big jump money wise from value and even moderate. We did have a very nice vacation when we stayed at POR that one time. When we stay at the Poly we have a great vacation. It is a nice place to relax day or night. You will be fine. If you have concerns about your room, just bring them to the front desk manager immediately. I have no doubt they will do everything in their power to ensure you have a great vacation
