Jambo Club Level

[Walker TR]

First time staying at AK, and was wondering if anyone stayed at the club level, 6th floor, at Jambo and was the amenities worth the stay? Thanks

"worth it" is a relative term. It takes a lot of points, but we've done it several times and will definitely do it again in the future. The food is really good most of the day, the cast members are especially helpful, and it's a great place to sit and relax. I love getting up in the morning and just taking that extremely short walk out to the lounge for breakfast. If it's not too full, we'll grab a table. If it is too full (and mornings can draw a crowd with people heading out to the parks!), we take it back to the room!

If you decide to try to book a club room with DVC points at Jambo, just know it's one of the most difficult rooms to book in the DVC portfolio! There are only 5 1BR and 5 studios, and they go very fast at 11 months. Good luck - hope you get to experience the AKL club level!

To add; if someone books a 2 bedroom, it takes out one of each as they are all lock offs.

Flip side is true…If either a studio or 1 bedroom is hooked, it takes out a 2 bedroom.

We are not fans of staying at AKV so for us, the club level amenities the few times we were able to get a night, don’t not outweigh the location.

However, having CL if staying there works for you, IMO it is worth it, especially if you are not dong park touring from sun up to sun down or doing some resort time.

As already mentioned, they are the hardest to get for owners so most get shut out, even when on right at 11 months at 8 am.

I think you need to start by looking at two things:
a) The hours that the lounge serves food
b) The menu

If you plan to leave the hotel every morning before the lounge starts serving breakfast, that might impact whether you think it is "worth it."

If you have picky eaters who won't eat the food that is served in the lounge, that might impact whether you think it is "worth it."

As PP mentioned, even if you think it is worth it, you might not be able to book it. There are only 5 studios and 5 one-bedroom villas. If somebody manages to book a two-bedroom lock-off, that pulls a studio and a one-bedroom out.
