    AKL Villas Too Disconnected to Main Lodge?

    We stayed at AKL on points two weeks ago. Was told that parking will be on the ground floor under the building. Having stayed at both the Boardwalk and Beach Club Villas I can say that I prefer a DVC resort where the check in/common areas are dedicated, not shared with another resort. JR

    Mike, We visited the Fisher about 3 or 4 years ago. It is an awesome place and well worth any time spent there. When we were there one of the workers, I think she was a volunteer, had participated in the search. Her story was fascinating. Really a must see if you visit Key West. If it's...
