Just got back from our first trip to HH and we were very happy with the resort. The atmosphere and trees are wonderful. I could not believe how empty the resort was. I asked a CM and he said there were maybe 25 people at the whole resort that week. I thought for sure there would be more people. I loved the contrast of the quiet offsite resorts when compared to the busy onsites (especially during the choice season). We were in bulding 24 which had a marsh view, and were close to the pool. Since it was the low point season, we decided to stay in a 2BR for 6 nights (98 pts), WOW---I couldn't believe the space, our 2 and 4 year old each had their own queen bed. I love the layout of the rooms and the huge deck with our own picnic table. It was a very relaxing vacation, and I was glad we were able to explore the resort without a crowd. We spent a lot of time at the pool and hot tub, and we were the only ones in the pool almost every day. We rented bikes and rode to the beach house one day when the weather was 80 degrees. It is beautiful. There were activities for the kids, Goofy bingo, pirate treasure hunt, bedtime stories, and campfires. We also toured a grand villa. We ate all our meals in the room and really didn't leave the resort. I can't wait to go back. It really gave us time to spend with the kids without having to hurry about and get to the parks. I highly recommend HH (especially in the off season) for people who want some peace and quiet and the opportunity to spend time playing games, reading, relaxing, etc. It reminded me of the fishing resort vacations we went on when I was a kid (without the fishing).
Some minor recommendations:
I recommend that HH get a few more videos for rental, there was a much larger selection at VWL. Also, I kept looking for the swing they show in the DVC sales tape, but didn't see it. Is it there?? Another suggestion is to give the rockers some adhesive non-skid strips for traction as they slide a little too much on the deck when you rock.
Hope you give HH a stay if you haven't.......
