Talking AKL-Jambo House

Hello! It's been awhile since my last post. Lots going on here. We (me, DH, DD, DSx2, Mom &Dad) are going to stay at the AKL-Jambo House 2 bdrm villa (DVC) from Jan 9-16. What rooms do you all recommend? We write a poem and request certain room/views. We have it booked for a Savanna view. Does this mean the top floor?

What are some of your experiences with the villas in the Jambo House? Thanks!!

All of the DVC rooms (except concierge) at Jambo House are on the 5th floor.

Yep--- 5th floor. We loved staying at Jambo House. We stayed there prior to the opening of Kidani. Great experience, gorgeous lobby, we liked the bar near boma, and the kids loved the pool.

I'm hoping to try Kidani soon, though!

what is your view - savannah, standard (pool) or value (pool, savannah or parking lot)

Loved the pool view - it is close to the pool, restuarants, lobby - so it is close to the buses - some of the savannah view have a long walk to the lobby.

We stayed at a studio in Jambo House and it was wonderful! I couldn't believe all the animals we saw! We sat out on our balcony with our coffee and just enjoyed the view!

We were really pleased with our pool view at Jambo House. We did want a savannah view, but weren't able to get one during our stay there - this was only shortly after the DVC rooms opened at Jambo House.
