You can search for room criteria at AKV and get a matching list of resorts. Change the Room Class value to "Concierge" and hit Submit. You'll get a list of all Concierge rooms along with guest comments and balcony photos.

There are only 5 lockoff Two Bedroom villas (10 rooms total) in the entire Concierge category. 40% overlook the pool and 60% the Sunset Savanna. You cannot guarantee a Savanna view at the time of booking--you could get either pool or savanna.

Since the number of Concierge rooms is so small (only about 1.5% of AKV), you often need to call exactly 11 months to the day to get a Concierge reservation. They go quickly!
Thanks! That's exactly what I needed. I think I will wait until I have stayed at AKV once at least before I try Concierge. This trip I am really looking forward to the Savanna view from my room so I think I would be disappointed if I didn't get that view. Plus since I will not be using my AKV points this trip I will wait until I can book at 11 months. I also want to take advantage of the Sunrise Safari but I won't be able to do that this trip.
