I totally lucked out and was able to tag along on my brother's family trip a few years ago. SIL is a TA and booked us concierge level at the Poly. Great view of the castle from our balcony - I spent a lot of time out there just sitting and enjoying the view. Also loved that I could watch the EWP from the pool. 🙂
Just loved the overall vibe of the Poly. Plus good food (ate a bunch of meals at Kona), and easy access to both Trader Sam's and Dole Whips!
