What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious and Convenient

The 1-bedroom villa was incredibly spacious and designed perfectly for our family of five. With three full bathrooms, it was a joy to have ample space to get ready in the mornings without any rush. The full kitchen also made it easy for us to prepare breakfast before heading out for the day, adding such convenience to our stay.

Perfect Kitchen Setup

The kitchenette in our room came fully equipped with everything we needed to whip up meals. Having a stove, microwave, and even a dishwasher allowed us to enjoy relaxed dining in our villa, which was great after long days at the parks. It truly enhanced our experience and made our stay more enjoyable.

Family Fun Zone

The pool area was fantastic! There were so many fun activities for the kids, and the waterslide was a huge hit. We spent hours there, and my children loved the dedicated shallow areas designed for little ones. It made for a perfect way to relax after a busy day at the parks.

Great Entertainment Options

I really appreciated the media options available in our room. The TV had a wide selection of channels, and we loved watching family movies in the evenings after our adventures. It made our downtime equally fun and entertaining, offering a cozy feel during our family reunion.

Staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge was a unique experience, especially for the amazing savanna views and the fantastic pool at Kidani Village. However, the distance from the rooms to the transportation was quite challenging, particularly after a long day at the parks. While the dining experience was generally good, the overall service and room issues left much to be desired, making it hard to fully enjoy the stay.

Our stay at Kidani Village was a mix of great experiences and some disappointing moments. The savanna views were absolutely breathtaking, and the pool area offered our kids plenty of fun. However, we encountered some issues with room comfort and food options, which detracted from an otherwise enjoyable visit. Overall, it's a unique resort, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

Overall, my stay at Kidani Village had its ups and downs. The savanna views from the room were breathtaking and definitely the highlight of our trip. However, the service left much to be desired, especially with unexpected room changes and slow room service. I appreciated the spacious accommodations for our family, but the issues with cleanliness and maintenance detracted from the experience. Dining options were also limited, especially for kids. While the location was convenient for Animal Kingdom, I probably wouldn’t opt for this resort again.

We had an amazing time at Kidani Village, especially enjoying the savanna views and the pool area. The room was spacious and well-appointed, but the customer service left a lot to be desired, particularly during our check-in experience and when trying to get an extra blanket. Dining at Sanaa was a highlight, offering beautiful views and tasty food, while the overall atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming, making it a lovely stay despite a few hiccups.

Our stay at Kidani Village was memorable, especially with the unique experience of watching animals right outside our balcony. The spacious two-bedroom unit was perfect for our family, but we found some areas needing improvement, like the dated room decor and limited dining options. Overall, it’s a great place for kids, but the dining experience could use a bit more variety.

Rooms

The two-bedroom unit was spacious and well-equipped with a kitchen and washer/dryer, but it felt a bit tired and could use remodeling.
