Standard vs Value At AKV?

[Lexxiefern]

I would like to book AKV for Sept at the 7 month window. I would prefer a pool view. Which of these offer a pool view as a possibility? If I want value, is that super hard to get? Other than the square footage is there any other difference between value and standard? I would be looking for a 1 bedroom. Thanks for any help!

Oh, forgot to mention, I would probably be trying for Jambo. I don't want to deal with construction. And value are only at Jambo right?

I am guessing that because the value rooms are lower in points that they would be harder to get at 7 months out.

I believe it has been said that of AKV Jambo standard view is pool view. (Kidani standard view may be parking lot or pool)
Value has a mix of views (savannah and possible parking lot?) and requests for a value view may not be honored.

Value is only in Jambo.

If yo don't care about view Value is the most bang for your buck

Construction will be over by your dates.

Really? Kidani is supposed to be completed by september?

I figured that value would be tough to get. But if it doesn't look at the pool at all and standard does, I would probably try for standard instead. I know a request is just a request, but I want to try to book whatever will give me the best shot at pool view. Thanks!

All but two of the 2 bedroom lockoff Value units have either a Savanna View or Pool view. The other two have a parking lot view. Once you remove the parking lot view unit(s) it's split half and half for the view. The plus is if you book a dedicated studio you will definitely have either Savanna or Pool view. There aren't many value units but I was able to book a 1 bedroom at 7 months for May 09.

the square footage can be a big deal if you have a family of 4.

so far when I have wanted a value studio - got one. no problems - so far.

both were pool views. that say also loved the standard view (guaranteed pool view & bigger rooms). So either would have worked for me.

you do realize with the 1-bedroom - you just get a combination tub with value rooms. no separate whirlpool tub and shower stall - just a whirlpool tub with a shower.

if you go with standard room and go with Kidani not Jambo House - you can get a separate tub and shower in your 1-bedroom - not to mention the extra bathroom.

So all standard views in Jambo are pool view? I am so sorry, I feel so confused by the difference between the two. I know that value rooms have less square footage - that is about all I know. Good to know that there are only 2 value 1 bedrooms that look at the parking lot.

So standard view at Jambo is pool view? Or could it also be parking lot view?

Standard view at Kidani is parking lot or pool view correct? Also are any rooms at Kidani on the first (ground) floor? I prefer to be higher up.

Thanks everyone for helping me understand

standard view at Jambo is pool view -

now standard view at Kidani is either garden view or drive way - the parking for Kidani is under the resort. It might be swimming pool - but the pool is futher away than at Jambo house.

think the rooms at Kidani start on the 2nd floor - first floor is parking. besides that give you a better view of the waste products of the animals more than your really want.

you can also ask for higher. but 3rd (might be 2nd floor) at Kidani would be about right - should be a little higher than head distance from the animals.

that say - you can go on any floor to look at the animals - assuming that like Jambo House - there will be windows to look at the animals in several places on each floor.

Thanks Pat for all the info. I guess if they have a value 1 bedroom I will take it. Otherwise I will try for standard view. Thanks!
