AKV vs AKL

[benignoh]

Hi
Ill like to know whats the main difference between staying at AKV Standard Studio View and staying at AKL (Hotel).
Im planing on a reservation and was wondering if the Villas are an upgrade from the standard hotel room?
Thanks

The villas will be an upgrade only in that they will have a queen bed and pull out full size sleep sofa as well as a kitchenette with a microwave, undercounter fridge, coffee maker, toaster etc.

Standard view for AKV at Jambo means you will have a pool view, but at Kidani, it could mean a parking lot view.

You lose the large closet if you opt for an AKV studio over an AKL hotel room. When they did the conversion, they put the kitchenette where the large closet used to be. In Jambo House studios, you get a small wardrobe instead of a closet.

Also, with an AKL room you can be on a lower floor closer to the animals. The AKV "Standard View" studios in Jambo House are on the 5th floor.

We would take an AKV studio over an AKL room because we prefer one queen bed and a sofa to two queen beds. It opens up the room a lot more. We make good use of the kitchenette as well to make breakfast in the morning. I do miss the closet though.
