Fodor's Review:

You may not think you're in Fiji, but it's not hard to pretend here, especially after downing a few of the tropical drinks available in the Great Ceremonial House—aka the lobby. In the three-story atrium lobby orchids bloom alongside coconut palms and banana trees, and water cascades from volcanic-rock fountains. At the evening luau, Polynesian dancers perform before a feast with Hawaiian-style roast pork. Rooms sleep five, since they all have two queen-size beds and a daybed. Most rooms also have a balcony or patio. Lagoon-view rooms—which overlook Magic Kingdom fireworks—are peaceful but costly. Pros : on the monorail; great aloha-spirit atmosphere. Cons : pricey; not good for those bothered by lots of loud children.

We stayed over the 4th of July weekend and in additon to poorly lit rooms, we had to wait ove an hour for a pre-reserved table at Ohanas.The swiiming pool and beach area was open to the public, who didn't have to pay the hotel prices of staying there, and who took up seats that left my family standing. They brought food from a local walmart and threw garbage on the beach. The parking lot area was full of bottles and garbage. Not worht the proces to stay there
