AKL Concierge Food??

[SqueakyMouse]

OK, I asked about WL the other night. The current selection of snacks didn't sound all that hot, so I don't think we'll be upgrading our current WL reservation for July. It will just be dh and me and all of our arrangements have been made, so I can't really justify the extra expense.

However, concierge at AKL in the fall sounds like a real possibility. We will be a party of 7, including 3 children and 2 grandparents. Having someone help with arrangements for our party and snacks available for our hungry crew sounds like a big plus. We have enjoyed AKL in the past but have never stayed concierge there.

The assortment and quality of the Concierge offerings are on par with the best Concierge lounges on property. With the possible exception of the Polynesian, the evening offerings here are arguably the best on property.

Just out of curiosity, what do you mean by "bulk"?

 

[VictoriaAndMatt]

You'd have to ask betterlatethannever on the original thread. I only quoted him. I posted the link to the original above.

In this case "bulk" means not in indivdual cans or bottles.

The list of evening foods would be a culmination of the week, not every night. They usually ahve one or two hot items and some chips/dips, crudites, and cheese crackers. It's not a meal, just a snack.

Best concierge food of all of the Deluxe resorts, IMO. (Can't speak for GF)

We loved all the offerings. The South African wines were wonderful. The "help yourself" espresso/cappuchino mader was such a treat.

The atmosphere was wonderful, also.

I also loved getting the hot oatmeal in the am.

Go for it! -- you will love it!!!
