This is one of the New Hilton Vacation Club resorts (Formerly Diamond International located in Waikiki area of Oahu Hawaii. I enjoyed my stay at the Modern. It is a smaller building that the other Hilton Grand Vacation Properties, so the pools were less crowded and the view of the ocean was...
I'm considering buying HGV points at Boulevard. The MF looks like the resort has low per-point compared to others. My question is, how many points would be a good starting point to get 5 days in a single bedroom at many US resorts, not including Orlando? I understand most timeshares require...
I’ll limit this discussion to P@P, KBC, and The Modern.
HGV has, IMO, clearly changed inventory availability in DeX for both weeks and points owners. In the past, there was plenty of availability at DRI managed resorts in Hawaii. Since HGV acquired DRI, inventory is nearly non-existent at P@P...
Does anyone have any experience with posting their HGV timeshare with Redweek?
We are new to using Redweek and are unsure of the process. Any help and advice is appreciated!
In October of 2022 we signed for a HGVC in Las Vegas for Elara. The total cost was about $15,000 and we get 2560 points a year. Everything sounded good until we logged in and realized that 2560 points doesn't get you much of anything! Definitely not the "about 10 days" we were sold. Do I not...
ok... This is a long video. But I have included a lot of searches. I have attempted to simulate the rules of HGVMax by using my Diamond Resorts International account and my Hilton Grand Vacations account. I have shown samples of searches at six months and 10 months.
The purpose of the six...
Thank y'all for TUG! Such a wealth of information and generous spirit here. So I'm a newbie and need your advice.
Ours seems to be a classic TS situation. Before we knew about TUG or even researched timeshares, about 5 years ago, our family vacationed in Orlando & bought into HGVC Las Palmeras...
We attended a presentation in Hilton Hawaiian Village with no intention to buy. But the sales guy was good and he sold us the following:
Ocean Tower/ Studio / Platinum / 3400 points every other year/ $1000 HOA every other year. Cost: 15,600/ Bonus: 10,500 points (To be used in 2y 9m)
Later I...
Sharing what I believe to be a complete points chart for Ocean Tower within Hilton Waikoloa Village, Waikoloa Beach, Hawaii (The Big Island). As of August 2021, this property remains under active conversion from the original hotel rooms to HGV's timeshares, so there may eventually be additions...
HGV West coast owners:
The # of HGV properties are lower esp in Northern California.
Like some good trip ideas to use HGV points or RCI points from experienced HGV owners on West Coast please. Thanks
Just wondering what are the limitation of the HGV App vs. HGVwe site. Here are some I can point out:
1. HGV App cannot be used for RCI bookings or last min deals
2. HGV App does not also show Hilton Last mins deals
There may be many more. Let’s hear from the experienced HGV owners.
Thanks
So I sent a cancellation letter to Hilton within four days of signing. Cancellation was within the allotted 10 days and it says they have 20 days according to the contract to refund our money. I didn’t put too much in the letter other than me and my wife’s decision to cancel within the time...
Greetings,
Like so many others, I wish I found this forum years ago! Thank you for all your informative posts.
We are looking to sell our timeshare and would like advice on how/where to sell it and realistically what we should expect to get for it.
We own at The New York Club, 7,000 points and...
My parents own the HGV's below. Would you accept them both, one, or neither and WHY?
I really love the Bay Club better than Kingsland. I do know a little bit about them and my mom's frustration with reservations, etc. I have been using them over the years when my parents can't but I am not...
Hello everyone,
My husband and I went for an honeymoon last week and was convinced to purchase a Hilton grand vacation ownership in Florida on 12/11. I regretted almost immediately at same day afternoon when we were at Disney.... So we read a lot of threads on TUG forum and took action to send...
Okay,
First I am new to this website, and already appreciate the time and effort that has gone into having access to this wealth of information.
Second, because of this forum I was able to make a smart decision and try and cancel my contract with Hilton before the 5 days was up to Rescind the...
I have looked through the forums and I think I'm getting the answer I need, but figured I'd ask specifically. We are considering buying into HGV. For example, say we purchased 7000 to 9000 points at one of the Orlando properties, would we get the same benefits if we purchase resale as we...
