We chose OKW for similar reasons. Booked 1 bed with 2 sofa beds in lounge but were lucky enough to be allocated a 2 bed unit at check in. Had a great stay.
Also stayed 1 night at AKL in bunk room. Would not recommend this for 14 nights. Very small room for 4 people - too small in our opinion. P |

You have a healthy budget then. We're a family of 4 too and I have a maximum budget of £6500, but we're happy to stay in moderate resorts with the free QSDP rather than deluxe resorts with the tree DDP. Thanks to reward flights, I've brought it in for around £5k for 2 weeks over October half term.
However, you might not be able to get OKW as this year, the check in cut off date for free dining was around 24th September, whereas the rest of the resorts was 30th November. You do need to be careful if booking a resort for 4 though, as you could get allocated a room for 4, rather than 5. So, although the Beach Club has rooms for 5, they also have rooms for 4. You can put in a request, but there's no guarantee. At CBR and POR they have a 5th sleeper category that families of 4 can book to guarantee a room with a Murphy bed. Not sure if they'll be introducing this category at all resorts, but it would be helpful if they did.

Thanks yeah we have been saving up for 3 years to have a good budget just speaking to hubby and think we may try our luck with cbr and upgrade the dining. Will look into 1 bed though that ia a good idea
We looked at the asm suits but dont think its suitable for us and have done art of animation in a suite before the only issue is im not sure if they will realease free dining for it |

Current upgrades costs from the QSDP to DDP are £17 per person, per night for ages 10+, so it works out at £952 to upgrade for 14 nights, plus you'll need to budget for tips too.
Last year they weren't releasing OKW rooms until 11 months in advance and they weren't eligible for free dining in October, so if it's the same this time round, that won't be an option. The suites at AOA normally have the free breakfast offer, which is actually a free QS credit that can be used for any meal in any QS restaurant. If you wanted to upgrade to the QSDP, last year's price was £25 per person per night, so £1400. To upgrade to the DDP it was £42 per person per night, so a whopping £2352!

Blow up bed, solves all your problems, my 18 year old daughter loved it. She was camped out next to the wall plug, all the social media she wanted on tap.!

That's one of the more expensive resorts, and you may still get a room for 4 as not all rooms sleep 5.
