We just returned from 10 nights at POR and I am happy to report that things are much much better there than they were for us 2 years ago. The room was clean (not spotless, but reasonably clean), the buses were better (not as good as CSR, but not as horrible as they used to be), and the food court was way way better.
Two years ago, they served hamburgers sitting in 1-2 inches of grease (and were not very nice if you asked for one that wasn't in the grease). Now, they cook them to order and they were fairly decent. There's a nice toppings bar (lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles) for the burgers as well. The make your own salad was a huge hit for my family - there's a large selection to choose from. They get out a huge metal bowl, put in your lettuce of choice, warm chicken or steak, all your choices of extras (tomatoes, cheeses, olives, etc.), add dressing and mix it all up for a long time. Then, they transfer it to a plastic container and send the bowl and tongs back to be washed. I was very impressed
. Lots of effort for each individual.
The food court CM's were also very friendly and patient.
The pool area was clean and the pool bar stayed open longer than it did for our last trip. The life guards weren't overly friendly, but they were watchful
.
The boat to DTD came often and was a wonderful amenity as usual.
The CM's at the front desk were also very kind and helpful - both check-in and concierge.
After this experience, I would recommend POR to anybody with no hesitation!
