AKL Jambo Value

[stevevm]

So I went on to check availability this morning before 8AM for January 25 to Feb 1
No Value available for any of those days.

No one can book Jan 31 to Feb 1 until 8AM....it is the 7th day and you can only book it beginning at 8AM today even as an add on.

Trying to figure out how a room that no one can book yet is not showing as available?
I know there are limited value rooms but at least that last night should be showing as available.

This seems odd

Honestly fairly typical for the value studios and the club studios. They're all locked up in a walk year-round. I was unable to even start a walk for the club level rooms for all of 2026 - but I was able to snatch two nights as walkers moved past and I got two more nights with a waitlist.

What i usually do is I book a resort view studio and waitlist club or value, and set the waitlist to replace the resort view if it matches. Good luck! You're competing against thousands of other members for I think 18 rooms, many of which are commercial renters who have enough points to lock them up in a walk all year until they get to a season where the cash/points delta is at its greatest to maximize their return.

Isn’t Jambo going through refurbishment beginning this May?

Yes but it will be complete in January, so this may possibly be related. It could be they plan to close the entire Value wing towards the end of the refurb and refurbish them all at once, and that is why the rooms are all blocked out.

The refurb makes sense
