I'm having such a hard time deciding between AKL CL and Poly GV CL! I want to stay at both, but it's a 3 night stay, so not good for a split stay.
What I like about AKL:
- the Savannah view (it's just so different than what you can see from a room in most places)
- breakfast and appetizer offerings seem heartier and very vegetarian-friendly. Poly's seem a little skimpy (is that a fair assessment)?
- restaurants and lounges on site and their menus are some of our favorites for food, ambiance and wine!
- bus service is better than most resorts, with only sharing between Kidani and Jambo
- haven't stayed here since 2016 and our last trip was during Matthew, so we need a 'do-over"
What I like about Poly:
- bedding. With the extra day bed, kids don't have to share a bed (this is usually a sore point)
- CL rooms very close to quiet pool
- CL lounge has a nice view
- trader Sam's
- haven't stayed here since 2015
We were at AKL during Matthew too!! It was my 40th birthday trip, and it was memorable! We were scheduled to sail on the Dream after a few nights at AKL, but obviously that was cancelled, so we were so fortunate that we were able to extend our stay at AKL before moving to the BWI. It was not at all the trip we planned, but it was a lot of fun. We met some fantastic people, drank wine, and had many laughs. Enjoy your trip!
