Showing its age

Polynesian is located at the begining of luxury row, so they are well situated. The property is showing its age. We've stayed 4x in the last 6 yrs. But this might be our last. Unless they have a remodel. Currently they might have the lowest resort fee in town.

Great location. The room was expensive for one night, it smelt like mildew and the sheets felt moist. I was initially going to extend my stay but after smelling the room, I could only manage to sleep and leave.

The staff was excellent, very friendly. They provide you with beach accessories that you can rent out, which was great!! The rooms could have been cleaned better. There were blood stains on the ceiling and the toilet wasn’t clean when we got there. There was pee in the toilet and on the floor
