I just got back from a last minute trip to AKL from the 5th throough the 7th of July. We had a group of 10 people, myself and wife, mom and dad and 4 year old son in a 2 bdr suite. My Brother in law and his family got a concierge deluxe savannah view. I have stayed in the 2 br suites here before but our room this time had a pretty blah view. We were in room 2581 with a view of the hippo tank (hot tub). I was dissappointed. The room had a little bit of a bitter vinigar smell to it.... no big deal. We stayed the first night comfortably, we ate at Boma and it was excellent as usual!! On the morning of the 2nd night I went to concierge to grab some snacks and got to talking to the CM. The subject of the presidential suites came up and he said that a young family was occupying the presidential and had been there for 20 days!! He also stated that the VP suite was supposed to be occupied but the family never showed. He took me down there and we walked through. When we came back he called the manager and offered me an upgrade.... Duh! I was on that!! So we moved and extended our stay through Friday! I will attempt to attach some pics of the room. It is the Royal Kuba Suite and I was very pleased with the overall package.

Wow - congrats on the upgrade! I'm going to be as nice as I possibly can to every CM I see when I get there in September... :love2:
 
Wow, beautiful pictures. Thanks so much. I was there when it first opened, in a savannah room, and I was speechless with my view. I love the AKL, and always wondered what those suites looked like.
