Anyone Stay AKV Concierge Yet?

[scottie]

For those of you (like me) who were curious as to food offerings... I had emailed Don to ask about seafood items being included in the evening offering. I asked because my DW just cant handle seafood:confused
Here is the reply I received:
Very few of the evening offerings have seafood in them. I believe we do get a stew with a little shrimp in it some times. We usually will have a vegetarian item and a meat item. It might be meatballs, Rib, Lamb skewers or wings. Sometimes we will have soup or stew as well. There are also some cold items.

Hope this helps some

I'm very excited... I just booked the sunset safari for us tonight for our February trip! We were just going to do the sunrise, but then I decided this sounded too cool to pass up, and I don't know when we'll stay concierge again. I think we'll probably do savanna view most of the time after this.

You will LOVE it. The safari is very cool and the dinner at Jiko's was great.

The main reason we weren't going to do it to begin with was that we're both rather unadventurous eaters, and we have some restrictions (I don't eat mammals/he doesn't eat seafood). Also, I don't usually drink... just have never learned to like the taste of alcohol.

But, since it's family style, I figure we can each just leave behind whatever it is we don't want to try. And we'll see... I may be brave and try a sip or two of the wine pairings just to see what they're like!

We love AKL and wildlife generally speaking, so I thought this experience would be worth it.

You mean people actually drink because it tastes good?

By the way, love the wedding pictures, especially the one in front of the theater.

Any wedding trip report links?

We are staying in a concierge studio in July (just me and DH) and I booked a 2BR concierge in October for everyone.

I have talked to the concierge staff twice on the phone and 3 times by email. EXCELLENT! I mostly spoke with Don, who is just a gem. Great service and a nice guy to boot.

One tip: They will take your CC so they can make CC guaranteed ADR's for you, book tours, etc. if you want. DO NOT email your CC info. If you don't hear from them by about 200 days prior to your trip, shoot them an email, but do not include CC info. Their email address is not secure. They will call you for the information.

If you don't hear anything by 200 days out, email them. Don did say they were not getting all the information sent over to them all the time from MS. For example, he did get all of the info for me for July, however, with our October reservation, they only sent my name and the room size. He needed to enter in my mom, DH, the kids and their ages.

We have a 2br concierge booked for our October 2008 trip. Do you recommend we email them to let them know we are coming?

Aww, thanks! No, I started but never finished a trip report for another site. I still feel a bit guilty about that.
