2br Concierge villas at Jambo House question...thanks!

[Lorelei528]

Hi! How many 2br concierge villas at Jambo House? Out of these, how many are Savannah view and how many are standard?

I know it's not guaranteed to be Savannah View when you book Concierge, so I was wondering what my chances would be...working on specific dates now, but around Dec. 13 or 14 - Dec. 20... (oh! this is 2013 in case you're wondering!) LOL

Thanks all!!

AKV Concierge consists of five 2BR lockoffs. Three face the Sunset Savanna, two face the pool area. The savanna view is not that great because you are facing a small alcove of the very large Sunset Savanna, giving you a limited view. You are also on the 6th floor where the tree tops block a lot of the view as well. In other words, book Concierge level for the service and access to the Sunrise Safari, not for the view.

I believe most of those five 2BR lockoffs are locked off and rented as studios/1BRs so in practice I would guess that only one or two are available as 2BRs.

ETA: Two of the Concierge 1BRs on the savanna side are HA. One has a roll-in shower instead of a jacuzzi tub in the 1BR portion. The other does have a jacuzzi tub.

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but Lisa, do you know if there are any HA rooms in the value category?

Here is the list of Jambo House rooms that I believe are HA. The ones marked with an asterisk have been verified by people who stayed in these rooms. The only HA room in the Value category is 5010, a 1BR on the Giraffe Trail with a pool view. As you probably know, not all HA rooms have roll-in showers. This room does not have a roll-in shower.

Thank you for the quick response, LisaS!

OP, again sorry I steered your thread off-topic. On-topic though, we have stayed in a concierge studio with a pool view. It was very nice! Good luck planning your 2013 trip!
