Which building best at HHI?

[luv2boys]

Planning my first trip to HH this summer. Wanting to get a one bedroom. Will be me, DH, DS-4, and DS-7. Where is the best place to stay?

Most 1 BR Villas are in buildings 11, 12. There are only 21 total at the resort and 16 of them are in those 2 buildings. View choices are Marsh View, Island View or Pool View, but no 1BR's's have a view of the pool.

IMO, there are no bad locations or buildings at the resort, so don't get too hung up on your location.

Here is a <a href="http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=226883">HH Resort </a> report that may help.

Have a great trip!!

Thanks for the info Doc. We will be heading to HH for the first time next summer and this information comes in handy.
Just out of curiosity, was I reading the configuration numbers correctly? Are there really almost 4 times as many 2br as 1br and studios?!? (76 compared to 21)

Why would that be? Is the ratio that high at the other resorts?
Thanks again

HH has a total of 102 villas. 5 are GV's, 21 are lock-off 2BR's and the remainder are dedicated 2BR villas.

The ratio is certainly different than other DVC resorts, but HH is primarily a family destination and 2BR accommodations are the most requested accommodation. The size of the resort dictates the room configuration.

Enjoy!

The family angle makes sense...it just seemed like a disproportionately high number of dedicated 2br when I first saw the figure. I wonder if they had it to do over again if they would create a resort with the same numbers? It just seems that lock-offs would give them more flexibility. Well either way, we are excited about our first trip to HH and genuinely appreciate all of the information and insight you provide.

Although we've only been to HHI once so far, we stayed in a 1 BR on the third floor of the Lodge building and loved it for the location and view. We'd love to have the same room again when we go in February.

DH and I are excited about our annual visit to Hilton Head in a few weeks. This will be the first time we are staying in a one bedroom unit and I'm hoping for a villa in the main lodge. We're staying on cash this trip and originally had a two bedroom booked. I checked back a few times and was able to downgrade to a one bedroom with the member discount. We didn't want to take up a villa that sleeps 8 for just 2 people so I'm glad we were able to book the one bedroom for this trip.
