Jambo House Value Rooms

[Nabas]

All AKV Value Rooms are located on the 5th floor of either the Ostrich Trail wing or the Giraffe Trail wing of Jambo House.

Are all rooms on these wings AKV Value Rooms, including those facing the parking lot?

Refer to this map from DVC News. Are the rooms in white facing the Entrance DVC rooms?

The rooms shown in color on Ostrich and Giraffe trails are the DVC value rooms. The ones still in white on those trails are hotel rooms. Note those trails do not include the rooms shown directly above the lobby, which are standard view DVC rooms on the fifth floor and club level on the sixth. When getting a value room, you cannot make a request for location so as to possibly avoid the parking lot view rooms, but you can possibly avoid that view with a studio by requesting a dedicated studio (the ones shown in purple).

The parking lot view rooms are actually OK since the parking lot is not close to the rooms and what you mostly see are trees and bushes.

Be aware that the value studios and 2BRs have a serious 11-month reservation issue, i.e., they typically fill year round at exactly 8 a.m. eastern at 11-months out from any given start date. The 1BRs have that same issue at times but not year round.

Not DVC. Those while spaces represent regular AKL hotel rooms.

The value rooms are the only shot you have at getting a parking lot view at Jambo… most of the value rooms are not parking lot view room. Also I don’t think they have any DVC parking lot view rooms on the side where the smoking area is… I would ask to be moved if I ever got a room above the smoking area.
