Garden View at Poly?

[Bobby T]

For all you Poly experts, what would you say is the best building to request for a Garden View room at the Poly? I've heard Tokelau mentioned frequently but looking at the overhead map, Aoteroa looks like it might be a nice option as well.

We only have time for a 2 night stay - 1 day foray into MK so won't have much resort time. Otherwise we may have thought Lagoon view, but doesn't seem to make sense considering the extra ~100 night for the room.

Thanks!

Our favorites are Tokelau and Rarotonga. We usually request a room in either building. We did stay in Aotearoa once and it was nice, but we prefer to be a little closer to the TTC if possible.

We loved Tokelau - halfway between TTC and Great Ceremonial House - it was so convenient!

Tokelau is newer and has the larger rooms. And because its newer it has balconies on the second and third floors. It has the best garden view IMHO with Tahiti and the pool side of Rorotonga being next. Aotearoa's garden view will actually give you the monorail side.

The other side, facing the lagoon, are lagoon rooms so not garden (a couple of the most easterly rooms have had other designations in the past because they are blocked by the trees and bushes). Another potential downside, though some folks actually enjoy it, is that the sounds from the Luau can be plainly heard (to almost loud) in the rooms in Aotearoa.

Overall, I would recommend Tokelau.
