AKV - Online Check In

[jstouder]

I'm getting ready to do our online check in. We rented DVC points for an AKV Standard Studio in Jambo House. The online check in form allows you to make the following room requests.

Room Requests Request 5th Floor
Request Kudu Trail Section
Near transportation

We have never stayed at AKV so I'm not sure what I should make as a priority request. I realize I might not even be assigned that request but in the event we are I wanted to see what was best.

Thanks!!

A standard studio will have a view of the pool or an partial Savannah view (at Jambo)...If having a Savannah view is very important to you, i would suggest you rent more points and book a Savannah view room and then make your request on which Savannah you would like.

The transportation available at AKL are buses, and the bus stops are all located outside of the lobby down past the gift shop away from the hotel. So requesting a room close to transportation at this hotel doesn't make sense, rather request a room close to the lobby if you want to be near the buses. The good thing about being close to the lobby is that you don't have to walk down LONG hallways, but the flip side is that your view will most likely be a pool view (which I hear is lovely too, especially at night) with a standard studio category.

Last March we stayed at AKV standard studio, we were pleasantly surprised with a view of the Savannah ALL the way at the end of the hotel (last room down on the edge of the 3), so its a give and take. Also we did see a fence in the Savannah, but again we were happy to have been lucky to get a Savannah view for the category where we booked (standard).

I believe all the DVC rooms are on the 5th and 6th floors (and possibly 6th floor may only be club level.) So most likely you are going to be on the 5th floor anyway.

Its a wonderful resort, enjoy.
