Set those Polynesian refrigerators at 5

[BCV23]

Public service announcement for Polynesian lovers: 5 works perfectly for the refrigerators. My DH called as he didn't think it was cooling properly. I talked to the guy from Engineering who said to set it to 5 and then things won't freeze and you can shut the doors. It worked like a charm. Our beverages were nice and cold yet nothing (most importantly the insulin) froze.

WE had a great stay. MY DS2 and I were in Raratonga the first night and I would no longer call it parking lot side but rather just South side. The view was of trees and lovely vegetation with but a distant glimpse of car lights on occasion. We moved to Hawaii the next morning and had a lovely stay.

It was great to see familiar faces. Hank is still doing room service, Gary is at Kona and of course Chef Dick is working his magic in the lounge.

Becky at the lobby concierge desk was wonderful. The first night she located some missing dining reservations for me. They were under a mangled phone number. She also printed out my reservations for two future stays which was a nice and appreciated surprise.

Brian helped me with a couple questions in Hawaii. Nina (I think?) checked us in there. Everyone and everything was great. More alohas than I believe I've ever heard.

Oh, there is construction on the front doors of the GCH on both levels.

Any questions I'll be glad to answer.

Hey! Glad to hear you had such a nice trip, we need to visit the Poly again, we miss that place.

And, thanks for the fridge info, we'll be at GF and AKL soon and we can never get the room fridge to work properly - I'll give your suggestion a try!

I didn't even think to post that. "5" was definitely the magic # for our fridge in September.

Hi! Good to see you. I'm not sure if the refrigerators are the same at the AKL or in the new rooms at the GF. But good luck. I know with the old free standing ones, we tended to have good luck around 8 but they seemed to vary.

Glad to hear another report. This guy was not in doubt at all. 5 would do it and he was right. It was nice not to have to leave the wooden cabinet doors ajar as I had seen advocated somewhere.

Thanks for the tip! We leave 2 weeks from Fri for our first-ever stay there (or any deluxe for that matter!) I'll be sure to do that right away!

Thank you for posting this, so now when my parents and I stay at the Polynesian in December will be setting the fridge at #5.
