Hi,
Sorry if some of these are elsewhere here...sort of in a rush to get some feedback.
We did the sales pitch at Parc Soleil in Orlando last week, and we think it's a potentially good fit for our family in the long run. After the initial debt is paid off, the yearly fees would certainly be less than our regular hotel bills (we typically take a week vacation, and would need the 1-bdr. We got the Platinum 4600 points at Seaworld, every second year, approx $17k) and we'd get quality hotel rooms at places we haven't been or ones near Disney, for example, with the affiliated locations.
We're just wondering how people like the system, ease of booking affiliated locations, carrying over points, transferring them to HHIlton points if unused, this type of travel investment, etc.
One question that hadn't been answered was the price - they seemed to pluck it from mid-air for the plat - 1bedroom. Makes sense I think but found it strange the first time I saw the price was when the finance guy was doing up the monthly charges.
our 10 days isn't up yet and we're still second guessing ourselves. The conversion of unused points at 25 per point to HHonors doesn't really seem worth it (4600x25 might get us 3 nights at a low traffic city -- 40,000 pts/night)
Anyone ever sell their property back to Hilton?
thanks all!!
I should say that we're from Canada. Major obstacle in our minds, too, is that we'd need to fly to any of the resorts. We just started travelling with our young kids, so haven't gotten in a routine of flying too many places. Hopefully in time we'd do that more and maybe this would help with that, knowing we'd have a good place to stay?
