Marriott Horizons or Hilton GV Intl Drive

[3Mousketeers]

I've read threads on both and am trying to decide which would be best for our family. We have 2 boys 7 and 5-1/2 and plan on spending time at Universal and Sea World. The pool at Horizons looks cool but I've read good things about the accomodations at HGV. Thanks for the input.

you would love HGVC better - your kids would like Marriott Horizons - not any help am I?

we own at HGVC Int Drive.. it is new.. so everything is in great order.. and its absolutely beautiful. As good as the best 5 star hotel Ive ever stayed in..

have you thought about HGVC at Sea World if youre going to be up that direction?

Dont know about Marriot Horizons? I know where it is, to be honest, it doesnt look from the outside anywhere near as nice as HGVC - but Ive never been in... !

I didn't consider HGVC Seaworld because I read some no so great stuff about it. I was also thinking the new HGVC would be more convenient to both Universal and Seaworld. How is the pool at either HGVC? The Horizons pirate thing looks like alot of fun for the kids. Also, hotel kingdom has a $176 AAA rate for a 2 BR at Horizons.
Hey what happened to my signature line????

the pool at Int Drive HGVC is HUGE!!There is also one of those magic fountain areas which my son just played in all the time! He loved it around the pool.. they also did kids activities every day. However there is nothing else special for kids there.
I have photos I can send you if youre interested... pm me your email address and I will send them to you.


The pools at both HGVC are big.. sea world has more than one pool - at least 3 I think. There main pool is big with a huge waterfall.. (as does Int drive HGVC Pool) but int drive is much more modern as it is newer. The apartments are very nice though.. I would go back for sure.
