I have yet to receive compensation from this NIGHTMARE of a holiday.. I will take you through from section to section: •FOOD AWFULL is the only word I can use.. Who enjoys food cold and undercooked/raw? Let me tell you there may be a small minority who enjoy this food but like I said that's the minority. This food is... More

Myself, my husband and 2 children (6 months and 3 years) have just returned from a lovely week at the Polynesia. We also stayed there in 2010 and we enjoyed it so much we decided to return again this year and we were just as impressed. As other reviews have stated the evening entertainment isn't great and starts too late... More

Booked the hotel in August 2011 for May 2012 after reading and being recommended this hotel. Later as the year pased we had read quite a lot of disappointing reviews so were very sceptical. I can now say that most of the negative reviews were true. On arrival the hotel certainly didn't have the 'wow' factor as others stated, it... More

My wife and I who are in our mid 60’s have just returned from a weeks holiday at the Hotel Polynesia on May 13th 2012. This hotel is without doubt the most family orientated hotel we have ever stayed at. On entry the hotel has a truly wow factor and is very large and certainly not for anyone that struggles... More

My husband and I (a couple in our 30's) went to the Polynesia for 1 week with our 16 month old and 2 year old from 6th - 13th May. Having read the previous reviews, we couldnt decide whether to book the Poly or Holiday Village but opted for the Poly preferring the rooms and extras e.g. bowling alley, mini-golf,... More

Hotel Stunning but we certainly picked the wrong week! We went 29th April - 6th May weather mostly cold and rainy! The rooms are fantastic we had pool and sea views so couldn't fault it. However, weather didn't help and entertainment wasn't up to much. Not the place for couples really. We love kids and have 15 of our own... More
