We stayed at the AKL one night Wednesday, June 1st. Although we checked in at 3pm, we were approximately 10 mins from the time we entered the lobby until we were walking toward our room. I cannot say enough good things about this resort! Everything was immaculate and our room was wonderful. We had a standard savannah room. It was on the Zebra Trail. We were in the second section from the lobby on the second floor. I thought it was a great location. We had an awesome view of Arusha rock and the animals. We were also very close to the lobby, pool, and restaurants. I found the resort to be very quiet and restful. :goodvibes

We moved to the YC Thursday, June 2nd. When we showed up to check in at 9am, we were surprised...our room was ready! And the best part is...we were upgraded!!! :teeth: Although I had booked a standard view room at an AP rate, we were moved to a room on the 4th floor directly overlooking the marina and the Boardwalk. I spent many hours on the balcony just relaxing and enjoying the view. Everything was just wonderful. Every CM we encountered was pleasant and went out of their way to help with any request. Our room was spotless, as was the entire resort. Our boys (12 and 16) spent some time at SAB, but DH and I spent our pool time at the quiet pool. Most of the time there was only 1 other family there. It was very quiet and relaxing compared to the chaos at SAB. Mousekeepers did an excellent job every day. We have no complaints about YC and would highly recommend it to anyone!! :lovestruc

Out of the 2 resorts, we preferred YC. We would stay at both resorts again. You could not beat the cleanliness or friendliness of the CM's at both.

Any questions...feel free to ask...
 
I'm glad you had such a great time. I've stayed at both YC and AKL and love them both very much. We were at YC in May and really enjoyed the quiet pool, too. SAB is great of course, but it was wonderful going over to the quiet pool and having it almost to ourselves! You could actually swim laps in the pool since there were so few people in it. Most of the time there were only 2 or 3 other people and two ducks in the quiet pool when we were there, with a few more people relaxing on the lounge chairs.

Sounds like your room location at AKL was wonderful. Did you see a lot of animals?
