AKL Bunk Beds
Hello all!
I had a question about AKL. I am going in August with my dad, sister, and boyfriend. We reserved the bunk bed room because dad didn't want to sleep with the boyfriend  . I was wondering...the beds do fit adults, right? Since the boyfriend and dad will be sleeping in them? Thanks for your help in advance!

Re: AKL Bunk Beds
Ouch. I think they are going to come up a bit short. Are they smaller than 5'8" tall? When we used the bunk beds in the cabin, I know I wouldn't fit in them and I am 6' tall. The kids loved them though.

Re: AKL Bunk Beds
Not sure about the length of them, but they certainly are sturdy. To be on the safe side, I would recommend calling to see if there is a weight limit for the top bunk. For some reason, I remember seeing something somewhere addressing that in the room.

Re: AKL Bunk Beds
My kids are short so they fit but if you're tall then I think it's going to be a tight fit.

Re: AKL Bunk Beds
I have the akl bunk bed room requested for our trip in July as well and had the same concern as you have for my boys that are 5'8 and 6'1. The concerige desk told me that it would be a tight fit and the beds are comparable to the ones in a dorm room at college. I hope this helps.

Re: AKL Bunk Beds
Both are under 6' - dad is barely taller than me
 . But it does sound like it may be a tight fit. I hope the beds are like college dorms, I know they would fit somewhat in those. Also, thanks Bethishooked, we'll make sure to call about weight limits. Thank you for your help!

Re: AKL Bunk Beds
Hate to mention this, but we stayed AKL concierge in January and the bunk beds were uncomfortable. My DS 12 actually slept on the hard floor instead! He is just over 5 feet, but I think the mattress itself was uncomfortable.

Re: AKL Bunk Beds
DD (5'2 at the time) was a perfect fit. If they can sleep comfortable in a twin size bed, they will be fine..
