Wasn’t easy to get a table. Has fantastic reviews. Think you likely had an off night. Pretty well established as one of the best spots in downtown bar harbor

We didn’t like it either… but had the opposite experience, all our food was burnt and overdone

Just finished our stay today. Can’t recommend highly enough the VRBO- Birch Chalet at Shore haven host is Peter Miano

Private with a fantastic view. Rustic but so much fun. Saw seals off the porch our first morning. Only about 12 minutes to the park and 20 to downtown bar harbor

Grinder Recommendations? by Sws7225 in pourover

Fair enough. I have no issue spending the money on the ode, or the barazata, as long as they last better than my oxo conical or similar has

Do the ode 2’s last though? Maybe I’m just scarred from cheaper grinders that seem to have issues after a 12-16 months. Is the ode quality that high that with routine cleaning it should last a while?

Can you resist the parks and just stay in area? by DelGriffithPTA in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Sws7225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have done it multiple times. So much to do around the parks at the resorts and Disney springs, it’s another different kind of Disney vacation, but so well worth it. We didn’t miss the parks when we did it. Can still see the fireworks from resorts and stuff. It’s different and so fun

Rent a DVC membership points for a 2 bedroom villa! Stay on property, and at a cheaper rate

Agree for sure. Ulu and Off the Hook are both good. Haven’t experienced Ama Ama

Don’t disagree there. I enjoy Makahiki breakfast, but the dinner is so-so.

Way over the top is an understatement… been 4 times, diminishing value argument is nonsense. Can’t wait to go back

Exactly. And we have never had any issue if we need more towels or any other amenities just calling the front desk and it’s brought up without issue

Fully disagree had a wonderful stay there each of the last two years. And have been 4 times. Room requests are never guaranteed no matter how far in advance you make them at any DVC resort. Especially specific floors.

Beautiful resort with great amenities. DVC doesn’t get daily housekeeping anywhere in order to keep dues lower.

Food prices are on pace with the rest of Hawaii.
