AKL Room Categories

[tgropp]

I am looking at the point chart for AKL Villas and I see 4 different categories, I know what the savanah View is but could someone please explain the difference between the Value and Standard accomadations and where is the Concierge level located and is it the same as concierge at the other hotels. Thanks!

Here is some information I gathered from some of our resident AKV experts on the DisBoards...

VIEWS

There are two defined views at AKV: Savanna and Standard. Savanna is a view of one of the savannas. Standard is a view of the “pool, garden or parking lot”. While Savanna View or Standard View is confirmed at the time of reservation, note that Standard View room view preference requests are noted but not guaranteed.


BOOKING CATEGORIES

There are four booking categories at AKV: Value, Standard View, Savanna View and Concierge.

(V) Value: (Jambo House only). Smaller rooms with either a Savanna view or a Standard View (which means pool, garden or parking lot) except that there are no "garden" views at Jambo House, just pool and parking lot. So a Value villa can have a view of the Sunset Savanna, the pool or the parking lot. A Value 1-BR only sleeps 4, versus 5 in all the other 1-BRs, as Value 1-BR do not have the Sleeper chair in the living room.

(S) Standard View: Larger than Value, with a Standard view (pool, garden or parking lot). At Jambo House only, all of the rooms in this booking category have a pool view. All of the Jambo House rooms facing the parking lot are smaller so they are classified as Value rooms. At Kidani Village, the Standard View villas will have a view of the pool, a garden area or a parking lot.

(SV) Savanna View: Larger than Value, with a view of a savanna (approximately 80% of all rooms have a Savanna View; All Grand Villas have a Savanna View)

(C) Killimanjaro Club Concierge: (Jambo House only, 6th floor). Larger than Value, with Concierge services and either a Savanna or Standard View (but no parking lot or garden views, just pool view). Only 5 Concierge units exist; they are all 2-BR lockoffs, for a maximum of 10 rooms if broken up into 1-BR and Studios. Unlike all other DVC accommodations, these rooms get daily housekeeping service and evening turndown with chocolates.
