Anyone tried the Hilton Resorts

[MickeyMcMouse]

Was thinking that we could do with a little trip and reckoned that with a little bit of juggling, it could just about be achieved 2nd may to the 8th. Not long but a nice few days in the Floridian sunshine.

Phoned ms and tried a few combinations, but all she could come up with was Saratoga 1 bedroom for the first 4 nights which of course used a friday nights points. (there's a surprise )

Had a little scour around for some disney hotels and looked at AKL at around £140 per night but then decided to try the Hilton (usually use the one a gatwick and maybe the one at downtown for the first night or two) .... couldn't get the downtown one but noticed their vacation club type thing thats next to Premium Outlets was available for ... wait for it ..... $89 a night for a studio or $125 a night for a one bedroom. Wow !!

There doesn't seem to be any "timeshare presentations" to do (booking was through www.hhonors.com), but seems VERY cheap.

Anyone any experiences ? (one bedroom has jacuzzi etc ... and all have FREE internet access)

Could come in very useful if you need the odd night or two to eak out your points.

Hi David,
We did the tour of this resort last year and it looked very nice. They were still building when we looked around but it didn't detract too much from the resort. If you end up having to do a "presentation" as we did it is not too "hard sell" in fact the saleswoman lost interest when we told her we wouldn't be buying that day if at all.
We are staying first week in May in a one bed Saratoga unit but moving on to Vero for the Friday night before boarding the Magic next day for a 7 day Western cruise.
Hope you enjoy the Hilton if you decide to go for it.

Mick.
