Would love a description of AK pool, forgot to check it out when we looked the resort over last year. Slide? Sandy area for the kiddles to play in? What is the cheapest rate (what kind of discount code/) you ever got? I know it's a great resort, just don't know if it's for us.. Thanks for the info.
 
No sandy area. Medium sized slide. Zero depth entry on one side. Very large pool. Very lush surroundings around pool, which make it seem like it is in the middle of a jungle. Great poolside bar. All in all, a very nice pool (but it's no Stormalong Bay!)
 
I love the zero entry area - there's also a stone 'ledge' around the edge of the pool, and it was a lot of fun to sit on the edge (clutching my chilled wine from the pool bar) watching the kids play.

The lowest rate we've ever gotten there is $109. We are Annual Passholders - it's worth buying an AP just for the AKL and WL discounts you could get.

Great photo! That is one of the better photos of the pool that I have seen! Most don't do the pool justice at all! Thank you for sharing!

One thing I thought was neat was that the bottom is painted maybe a greenish color, so the water looks like its from a watering hole instead of a clear blue pool. No scum on top though!
 
the pool is designed to represent a watering hole out on the savannah....very large pool, zero entry on the one side...two jacuzzi's. sometimes you can actually see animals from the pool...that was pretty cool...overall, it's a nice pool....dw and I both agreed that it would have been cool if AKL would have incorporated some sort of pride rock theme into the slide area, but, hey i'm pretty creative with other peoples' money...
 
I love the zero-entry. It's a nice, large pool. Even when there are lots of people there it really doesn't seem that crowded.
