I've never wanted to stay there because of the dark decor. This change is so much better IMO.
We stayed there twice and hated the dark rooms. Glad to see they're not gloomy. May have to give Poly another try.

Ok, I'm still undecided on the overall new look but in the meantime there is something that I can't seem to figure out...is there some type of blanket/comforter on the bed or is it just a sheet?

Guess I'm the odd one out, but I don't really care for the new look. Hopefully it looks better in person. I really disliked the old look too, so maybe this just isn't the resort for me.
I think it's "triple sheeting"... there's a sheet over the mattress, a sheet to cover you, a blanket on top of that, and another sheet over the very top. This is considered more sanitary because they can wash everything more easily instead of the duvets which (to my understanding) weren't washed between every guest... Someone correct me if I'm horribly wrong!!
I'm kinda feeling the same way
daannzzz said:The first few pics I saw were very disappointing. Some of the wider views of the room make it look better than I expected. Still, they seemed to have toned down the Polynesianish style. In the bathroom, aside form the brown wall paper the room looks like any hotel anywhere. I think they went for vanilla and got vanilla, vanilla.
Eeew! We always removed that giant duvet for that very reason. And every day the maid would put it back on the beds. Ew!!

I always say I'm going to do it but never have yet, but someone told me to ask for fresh, clean blankets and comforters/duvets. This is something that has always bothered me. I used to clean hotel/motel rooms for a living way back when...and believe me when I tell you I've seen it all !!! UGH ! YUck! I always, always, always take chlorox wipes and start with the bathroom. Remember to do doorknobs, esp the ones leaving the bathroom...just use your imagination. I don't really like the housekeeping in my room to "clean"every day either. I've watched how some others cleaned. It is down right gross ! One lady I worked with would use the same rag she scrubbed the toilets and floor with to clean the sinks...same towel in every room ! You just never know. I try not to get too freaked about it but when I get flashbacks....I just can't help it!
I just want to say thanks(really from all of us disers) to be the first to post our first glimpse of the new Poly! I am still coming back to see the pics. I am finally getting used to the new colors and am really looking forward to my stay!Hawaii reopened today at noon and we moved in (only 7 rooms open today). We have some pics of the new bathrooms and bedding and will post them soon.
