We had a super fun family vacation last week at AKV. I can't say enough about the concierge staff and service on the 6th floor. It was amazing and it made this trip really special for us. We were in a savanna view studio for the first two nights and then checked in to a 1br pool view for 3 nights after that. Check in and check out was a breeze considering we were just moving from one side of the 6th floor to the other. I was surprised that our 1br was ready for us to check in to at 9am so I'm figuring that it was probably unoccupied from the night before. We (Me,DW, DS12, DD8) felt a bit cramped in the studio so the space in the 1br was much appreciated by all of us.
We had breakfast in the lounge every morning. Although by the end of the trip we may have just picked up some food and came back to the room with it once. Dinner foods and desserts were soooo tasty.
Are they from Jiko or Boma or both? We had turn down service all but one night but only had a USA Today at our door on 2 mornings. Not that it made a difference, there was at least one or 2 copies available in the lounge. But really the house keeping to me was incredible. They actually loaded and ran the dishwasher for us and folded my daughters pajamas too!
If you get the chance, you must do the Sunrise Safari. Highlights inlcuded the safari itself of course, the short ride backstage to get into the park, and the breakfast at the end! Having an hour or so on the safari was amazing opportunity for pictures and to learn about the animals. We went on the ride again later in the day and it really couldn't compare to what we experienced in the morning.
We ate at lunch at LeCellier and at San Angel in Mexico, and dinner at Kona Cafe. All the other dinners were in the lounge. Although once I had to get something at the Mara because we got to the lounge a little later and they were cleaning up and getting ready for the desserts. We had picked up lunch at the Mara a couple of times too.
This is getting a little long I guess but like I said, it was a super fun family vacation.
