I accepted a timeshare offer. Because I purchased Hilton Grand Vacations in 2014, I know the value of consistency and premium experiences. Below, I explore the pros and cons of ownership. As an HGV owner who has also taken advantage of Marriott Bonvoy offers, I’ll share insights into both programs.
Consider Los Cabos as your next hottest destination. I am visiting Los Cabos for the fourth time in four years. During each visit, I find something new to experience. If you want to be near local shops and restaurants, book your stay at Cabo Azul. I stayed here in 2023.
Welcome to the Birthplace of a Nation. I travel to Virginia Beach occasionally but attended an event in Norfolk for the Dr. Martin Luther King Holiday Weekend. However, I found a deal on an HGV Max property and drove to Williamsburg to stay at the Historic Powhatan Hilton Vacation Club.
Extend your stay in Arizona to visit Sedona. Kim and I were looking forward to getting away from daily triple-digit numbers in Scottsdale. Of course, we drove to Sedona on Wednesday morning to avoid the congestion on the weekend. Because of the discounted rate, I only used 880 Club Points.
My timeshare offered a deal on a property away from the Strip in Vegas. I could not pass up the opportunity to use 75% fewer Club Points. Although reviews for this property were less than favorable, a one-bedroom was available for 594 Club Points. What did I have to lose?
How do non-golfers enjoy themselves while visiting Hilton Head Island? A rare snowstorm in South Carolina changed my plans to vacation at HGV Club Ocean Oak Resort in 2017. Six years later, a two-bedroom was available in January during Winter Break. I redeemed 3,000 Club Points from my Max account.
In this post, I share my end-of-year expenses for 2023. However, I am only using accommodations booked in my timeshare portfolio. Because I want to see my HGV Max savings from a different perspective, I checked rates for the exact stay on the Hilton website. Analyze the graph I created.
Do you need helpful tips for a stunning Oahu trip? I have only visited Oahu in June, July, and November. Each time the weather was perfect. I am back in July for a family trip with my son, daughter-in-law, and bonus grandbaby. We are staying in Waikiki for seven nights.
Did you know Charleston’s nickname is the Holy City? While looking through the HGV Max Member portal, I found a studio available during Winter Break at Liberty Place. If you have read my blog, you know I purchased a timeshare. However, you can reserve a room on the Hilton website.
Are you looking for a staycation idea in Chicago?
