I dont get why this gets slammed all the time, we just got back from a Poly weekend Anniversary trip and we were in Fiji ground floor looking at the Luau Cove and the beach/GF area. We walked over to the Spirit of Aloha stage area and it looks really cool (like the rest of Poly) and at night we heard some of the show and it sounds fantastic. If we didnt have California Grill booked lastnight I would have checked out Spirit of Aloha I think.
What are the bad things that you have heard? or better yet experienced? Poly is an awesome resort all around and I get into an “island” mood when I am there… hehe
At SoA, you’re really paying for the show. The food is different at both places, Ohana being better (general consensus). No view of the beach at SoA. It’s in it’s own ampitheater.
I think SoA suffers from the fact that is “used to be” so much better. For some reason, quality has fallen off. I have friends who used to go in the early 1990s and they raved about it, especially the unlimited mai tais! We went in the early 2000s and it had already devolved from it’s glory days. We had terrible service, no refills on food or drink. Now, that is our personal experience. It is an all-you-care-to-eat, so they should be happy to bring more of anything you’d like.
We’ll never do it again though. Too many other choices. Fool me once…
