We were an extended family group consisting of 4 generations of relatives for Labor Day weekend. We are HGVC owners and have stayed at this property several times. The service, cleanliness and activities are consistently good and we like knowing what to expect.
This resort is very family oriented with several pools including one with a very fun waterfall feature and a splash zone area for the little ones There is also a covered playground area and activity center located in the main pool complex area. Other recreation activities include basketball and tennis courts and a very nice, shady walking trail around the resort. The resort now offers a "Lifestyle Passport" where you can earn points for participating in different activities. The points can be used to select prizes at the end of your stay.
The rooms are very spacious and clean. We had a 3 bedroom villa which also had 3 bathrooms, a full kitchen and large living area. There were two screened in blaconies which were very nice for having breakfast or a glass of wine in the evening to relax. My only complaint about our villa was the proximity to the next building caused us to hear our neighbors loudly arguing on their balcony at 1:30am but other than that the villa was quiet.
We enjoyed several meals and drinks at the resort. The kids enjoyed the onsite Pizza Hut Express and the adults enjyed both the cocktails and appetizers at the pool bar. The chicken nachos are superb.
Some of the negatives for us was the parking situation, location and pool patrons. Parking is limited and if you arrive back at your villa later in the evening you may have quite a trek from your car. We are Disney lovers so being clost to Sea World was a little less convenient for traveling back and forth to Disney World but it is close to shopping, restaurants, etc.. The pool patrons, as I mentioned this is a very family friendly resort so there tends to be more loud pool goers, ball throwing, jumping, unsupervised children, etc. You can avoid this by going to one of the less popular pool areas or earier in the day while most families are out touring the parks and attractions.
Overall we really like this resort. The experience is consistent and there is always availability. This is a great value for what you get and you can feel confident that with the Hilton name if you should have any issues they will be resolved quickly. I highly recommend this resort for families as there is something for all ages to enjoy.
