Should I stay at HGVC Las Palmeras in June?

[summerflowers425]

Never been to any of the Orlando HGVCs. Planning a business/personal trip in June 2016.

I will be attending a large conference at the convention center (iDrive) in June 2016. Amazingly, the conference hotel booker is offering 2 HGVC options. We will stay on business for 4 nights; then extending the stay an additional 3 nights using HGVC points.

The HGVC Las Palmeras and HGVC Seaworld are both listed as a possible conference hotels with Las Palmeras charging $199/night and HGVC Seaworld at $169/night for a 1 bedroom.

Bookings begin in 2 weeks; so I can't find out more about either of the HGVC resorts or rooms.

Washer/Dryer either in the unit or onsite are a deal breaker for me. We will have a rental car.

Press releases vaguely state that HGVC Las Palmeras Resort will undergo renovations in summer 2016. I am concerned that we will be stuck in a old hotel room with lots of construction noise and banging if we book Las Palmeras.

Which resort should I book -- HGVC SeaWorld or Las Palmeras? Any suggestions or insights?

I second Seaworld

Las Palmeras is a new acquisition and you will likely get exactly what you described.

"The planned renovations include an updated lobby, heated outdoor pool, new waterslide, whirlpool spa, fitness center, business center, conference room, lobby bar, pool bar and restaurant."

Go with SeaWorld as Alwysonvac recommended, it is pretty quiet and fairly close to the convention center.

Is the waterslide at Las Palmeras open?
