Getting confused over the different room types at Jambo.
We've booked a 2 bed L/O SV for June @ Jambo & if I'm correct we will be on either the 5th or 6th floor ( as per DVC developer news ) with respect to DVC rooms on Phase 1 @ AKL.
Will this be value , regular or concierge ? as my confirmation letter doesn't say .
Please can someone help or should I call MS ?

Ayup Kev!
There are four booking "levels" in Jambo House:
Value: costs fewer points because the rooms are smaller and the occupancy is lower. Can have a pool (or roof and partial pool), Sunset Savanna or parking lot view. Jambo House only. Occupancy is Studio:4, 1BR:4, 2BR:8.
Standard View: costs more points than Value because the rooms are larger and the occupancy is higher. In Jambo House the Std View rooms face the pool area though you may have quite a bit of the restaurant roof visible right below your room depending on your room location, in Kidani the view will be pool, garden or parking lot. Occupancy is Studio:4, 1BR:5, 2BR:9.
Savanna View: costs more points than Standard View because your room will face a savanna. Occupancy is Studio:4, 1BR:5, 2BR:9, GV: 12 (I think).
Concierge: costs more points than Savanna View because you get daily housekeeping, access to the Concierge Lounge (with snacks and beverages), and can have the Concierge staff book your ADRs, etc. View can be pool or Sunset Savanna. Jambo House only. Occupancy is Studio:4, 1BR:5, 2BR:9.
The DVC rooms in Jambo House are on the 5th floor (Value, Std View and Sav View and GV) and the 6th floor (Concierge).
If by "SV" you mean "Savanna View", your room will be on the 5th floor and will face one of three savannas (Sunset, Arusha or Uzima). If by "SV" you mean "Standard View" then your room will be on the 5th floor facing the pool area.
Here is a drawing of the Lodge building aka Jambo House that shows the location of the different booking levels. The location of the Value rooms is marked with a green line, the Standard View room locations are marked with a yellow line, the bright pink lines show the location of the Concierge rooms on the 6th floor, the orange blobs are GVs and everything else is Savanna View.
