DK Eyewitness
"Lush tropical gardens and waterfalls, a white sand beach, and a lagoon swimming pool with a steaming volcano and torch-lit walkways create the illusion of an island paradise."
Travel + Leisure
"Commanding an enviable position on the Seven Seas Lagoon, and a short boat ride from the Magic Kingdom’s front gates, the South Seas–inflected Polynesian is a circa-1971 Disney original."

"Recent renovations have made this upscale resort even more impressive than before."
Rough Guide
"An upmarket hotel with spacious and comfortable rooms, a bright and airy atrium, an onsite spa, and a good location directly opposite SeaWorld Orlando. $249."
Michelin Guide
"The exterior of the ten floor hotel... situated close to Sea World and other area attractions, is architecturally uninspiring, but its interior reveals a cavernous sunlit atrium."
Star Service
"Located across the road from Sea World, this Shamu-sized hotel continues to prove one of the best hotels outside of the park."
