Orlando-based Hilton Grand Vacations properties

[jessny]

A telemarketer for Hilton Grand Vacations called to sell me a vacation package for Orlando. I got her down to $159 for 3 nights/4 days, with some extra Hilton points and a voucher for a free night at another Hilton property.

My question is, have any of you taken advantage of this package for any of their Orlando properties? I know we have to sit through the time share presentation and I'm well aware that is the price you pay when you accept these deals. But how were the properties, which is the best one to pick (we're flexible on location since we love all the parks) and do any of you have any tips to share for booking?

All of the HGVC properties are nice and well located. HGVC SeaWorld is just off Central Florida Parkway essentially across the street from the SeaWorld parking lot (we've walked to SeaWorld from there). It's the oldest of the Hilton timeshare resort but well kept and nice. It's about a half mile from an I-4 entrance going west toward Disney.
HGVC Tuscany is on International Drive next to the Premium Outlets on Vineland about 3 miles from Downtown Disney. I think that this location is the 'busiest' of the three but well situated for shopping and restaurants.
The newest and fanciest, in my opinion, is Parc Soleil, just off Palm Parkway about 3 miles from Downtown Disney. I've seen this one but not stayed there - it looks very nice. It's close to the Palm Pkwy end of Daryl Carter Pkwy that connects over to I Drive near their Tuscany resort.
All of these resorts are nice and you'd likely have a fine time at any of them.

We stay at the Parc Soleil when we go to Orlando. It is a great property. We always have a view of Epcot fireworks. If you are going to be attending a presentation you may have to go to the Parc for it. I am not 100% sure and you may want to ask, but we have been there when a shuttle arrives with people from the other properties for presentations. There is some ugly open fields around the property where they were going to expand, but that is behind a fence and the rest of the grounds are nice and well maintained. I have not stayed at any of the other properties in the area, mainly because we are so happy with Parc. It is a five minute drive to Sea World and about a 15-20 minute to Disney and Universal.

Thanks for your responses! Parc Soleil does look nice. We stayed at and loved Sheraton Vistana Villages last time, but I figured for this deal we could try something else and make a quick getaway out of it.

We didn't book through this, but we stayed at the SeaWorld location and loved it. Our room was very nice, everything was in great condition, and it was very easy to get to both Disney and Universal.

Stayed at Tuscony. If you like to shop it is great as it has its own entrance to the outlet mall. Beautiful rooms and nice pool
