I was among the first people to stay at this hotel when it opened circa 1990. It was kind of a cutting-edge place back then with its own outdoor waterpark on the property. But it hasn't changed much since then, especially the hotel rooms themselves. Yes, the decor is very dated, but I just don't see that as a real... More

This is the second time we have stayed at the Polynesian with our 3-year old son. The waterpark is perfect for his age (he's a VERY adventurous kid--rode the biggest slides). Is it the best water park in the Dells? No, and the rooms are outdated and worn (1980s), but we love the price, the rooms are good enough, and... More

Horrible! Worst Hotel I have been to. The halls smelt like trash, elevator was wet and dirty the rooms smelt terrible when we first got it and after we checked out. The beds were hard and lumpy. Pull out sofa bed was junk and smelled terrible. Stains on ugly green carpet. Overprice food. (Just go to Walmart and buy microwaveable... More

My husband & I stayed with our four kids (Ages 6, 7, 14 & 14) during Labor Day weekend. This resort was great & all of the kids loved it! They had a variety of things to do, from water slides, a lazy river, water basketball, a few pools, kids play areas, whirlpools & a sauna. They had two game... More

We went up to the Dells for my son's 2nd birthday...so we didn't want to stay at a larger resort because we wouldn't get a chance to take advantage of the larger waterparks being that he is so young. I think this was PERFECT for small children! Our room didn't smell bad and it was very clean. They also have... More

The waterpark was fun and made the stay worthwhile; although the indoor slide and lazy river was closed for most of our stay. The staff was very busy but were nice. Those are the good parts. The bad.... The hotel could really use updating and a good cleaning. Our room smelled awful (bought air freshener to mask the odor) and... More

I read earlier reviews and decided to take a chance here. The outdoor waterpark was great for my young kids and was never really busy. We arrived around noon to use the waterpark and we were able to get into our room by 1 pm for kid naps. The rooms however were not good. I can deal with outdated rooms... More

We stayed here a couple years ago and thought some updating was needed. Not much has been done since our last stay. The property is set up for younger people nicely and is relatively clean. I was quite disappointed some areas of the water park were not open until later in the day. Our room smelled of urine on the... More
