Hi!
I’ve been considering buying resale at AKL for quite some time and just keep hesitating wondering if the value is in it for us with the maintenance fees. My first question is, do you still feel you get a good value out of your DVC with the maintenance fees? I can understand how people feel they do when they got a great deal on their contract years ago before the prices skyrocketed. For us, we usually stay a week each year at AKL in a standard room which ends up costing us about $2k for the resort. So if I pay $1k in maintenance fees per year, it is really only saving me $1000 once my contract is paid off. I know we could probably occasionally get a bigger room which obviously is a greater value. Which brings me to my next couple questions specific to owning at AKL....
1. when you book a DVC room at AKL, are you able to pick whether you want to be at Jambo or Kidani?
2. I know I always hear the studio rooms are difficult to get. Is it hard to get a value studio at AKL at the 11 month booking window?
Thanks so much for your help!!
