I spent two nights at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort.Jacqueline Dole

I stayed in a club-level room at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort for $1,100 a night.
The resort has perks including a Tiki bar, a white-sand beach, and an amazing view of Magic Kingdom.

Disney's Polynesian Village Resort is located right across the Seven Seas Lagoon from Magic Kingdom theme park. It's one of Disney's deluxe resorts and includes perks like larger rooms, a great pool, and easy transportation to parks.

This was the first resort I stayed in when I was a kid, so it's always nostalgic when I visit. Its tropical atmosphere and convenient location make the resort a top pick for visitors.

Here's what it was like to return to the resort as an adult to stay in a $1,100-a-night club-level suite.

I arrived early at the resort to check in, but our room wasn't ready.

The options were basic, but I was glad to see them.Jacqueline Dole

We walked around the resort until our room was ready.

We spent a lot of time at the resort on this trip.

The Polynesian Resort is still my favorite hotel, but I don't think I'd stay in a club-level room again.

I had fun at Disney's Polynesian Resort, but I'd do it differently next time.Jacqueline Dole
