Late last year, Disney opened one of their biggest hotel additions in YEARS: The Island Tower at the Polynesian Village Resort.
Polynesian Island Tower Villa
Today we’re bringing you a peek inside many of the rooms available!
The tower opened at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort back in December of 2024! Although it’s a Disney Vacation Club property, anyone is invited to book a reservation here. The 10-story tower features rooms of different sizes for parties of all shapes and sizes, including this two-bedroom suite! As you enter, you’ll find a large living area…

There are not one, not two, but three bathrooms in this suite…

The second bedroom also provides a bit of living space with a built-in bench and table.

Of course, the hotel isn’t only suites. We’ve looked at several other room types since the tower opened, and relaly liked each one of them. Case in point, the Deluxe Studio.

An explosion of beige.
A giant beige room. How … tropical?
I’m sure these rooms will be nice, but they are not Polynesian in style and are not imaginative the way Disney knows how to be. These rooms will leave no lasting memory. A real shame.
How bland. Nothing like the old Polynesian Hotel rooms I’ve stayed in!! So sad and disappointing.
I’ll be curious to hear how DVC sales will go with it being butt ugly. The design department needs to be fired!
Just as ugly as the Contemporary and little to differentiate it from that.
I don’t like the layout of the kitchen. Other resorts have distinct areas for the living room and kitchen; here it’s all just 1 big room. Which leads me to think that these villas must be smaller than the 2-bedroom villas in other resorts.
Wow I’m really unimpressed. The Polynesian is my favorite resort and this just doesn’t fit. It’s a room that looks like it could be anywhere. I’d never guess it was Disney. I’m feeling a bit like Disney has lost its creativity the last few years.
It’s so awful. Tan plastic everywhere. And this is deluxe? The carpet under the bed isn’t even large enough. It’s just so middle class suburban American. Blah.
Are you sure this isn’t a suit at a long term care hospital?
Looks like a Marriott
Nothing says Hawaii like gray and beige.
I doubt it…very bland and kind of sterile looking…
Somehow they managed to make this more boring than a room at the Courtyard. Not only is it an overwhelming amount of beige, but they managed to pick a horrible shade of it to boot.
This is just awful. Was the designer colorblind or someone out of accounting? And how did this ever get approval? Aren’t rooms supposed to look inviting?
I’d rather stay in any other Disney resort. Location alone isn’t gonna save this one.
Looks like the room designs are not popular…maybe if Disney turned them into…say…Cars Land.
I am disturbed at the amount of negative comment for this new Disney addition. But then again, the DVC portion of the Grand Floridian has noting going for it other than being on Disney property. It is difficult to believe how Disney has lost its creative mojo to the almighty buck. Don’t see anything special here. How about a poly breakfast package in your hotel stay..(notice I say hotel and not resort). Something to tie me to the hotel for breakfast every morning. And the menu rotates each day featuring something different…something that would make you want to stay there. It needs something over the top to set it apart and be the. Resort it should be (if it can) with that Disney Magic that makes us want to return… how about a Luau Show…?
It is not selling well at $250 a DVC point. Too expensive to stay there and the resort offers nothing but an elevated look at the fireworks. A poor trade for loosing the Spirit of Loha Kuau show. Another Iger mistake.
I don’t think these rooms photograph well. We stayed in the tower in May and loved everything about it. The rooms are very beautiful in person.
