Jambo and Kidani Savanna views difference?

[funhouse8]

What is the difference between a Kidani Grand Villa and a Jambl Grand Villa. Is there an advantage to stay at one over the other?

I have never stayed in one, but from my understanding, the GV in Jambo are all on one floor and have a pool table.

The Kidani GV are 2 floors.

I am not sure if there are any differences as to Views,etc.

Here is another thread that shows the differences between the rooms at Jambo and Kidani.....

I cannot answer about a Jambo Grand Villa since we do not own at AKL and they are impossible to get at 7 months.

We did stay last year in a Kidani Grand Villa, savannah view. They are located on the 3rd/4th floors. The upstairs (4th floor) has a separate entrance which we really liked. My husband and I had the master bedroom downstairs and our children/grandchildren had the bedrooms upstairs. Having their own entrance into the hallway made it quieter.

I also loved that the loft area upstairs had a nice big floor area and a TV; the grandchildren made that their hangout spot and they didn't have to pick everything up. They had a jigsaw puzzle going, video games spread out, etc.

The savannah view was very nice. There are balconies on both levels but the downstairs one is much larger than the two upstairs ones.

If you are asking about the difference in savannah views, it is our opinion that Kidani offers the better views. I know that is just our opinion and others might think differently, but we have had much better luck viewing animals at Kidani.

Now, that being said, we have a Kidani GV for December and we are wait listing Jambo. We are wait listing Jambo for the counter service, bigger store, and grander lobby. However, I am second guessing whether to stay on the waitlist. Some of the GVs at Jambo could give you not so nice views where all GVs at Kidani would offer better views (again in our opinion). Also I'm not sure I want to give up the extra sleeping/living area in the loft of the Kidani GV. Kidani is also the first bus stop and that could be important. I agonize over what is the best fit for us on this upcoming trip and what fits best with the cast of characters that will be joining us.

Good luck on your decision!!

Do they both have pool tables? Going with teens and that might be fun!

Just Jambo Grand Villas have pool tables.
