Las Palmeras, by Hilton Grand Vacations is likely the closest, it is more hotelish than most timeshare, as it was a hotel that was converted. If you don't plan on staying on property all that much but want something close it is one of he closer choices. If you want a more resort feel than HGVC Seaworld. Marriott Harbour Lake is also near this Seaworld location. Parc Soleil® by Hilton Grand Vacations is just on the west side of the highway, and then you are basically in Disney's backdoor.

It is all not that far apart, so book something you want in quality and just drive it.

Thanks Sandy. This resort is for my nieces dance competition which is at Universal Studios and is 6/29-7/6 tue-tue I mean can you get any less convenient for timeshare? I want their resort to definitely feel like a resort. We stay at Bonnet Creek many years ago 2011 and it felt like Universal Studios was quite a distance away. Any Wyndhams nearer to Universal or rather not way across town? Then I could definitely find the tue-tue. I’ll hv to give some serious thought to the Marriott Harbor Lake as that sounds close to Seaworld which is closer to Universal correct?

The only issue with Harbour Lake is that there is no northbound entry to I4 and no southbound exist off of I4 to Central Florida Parkway. It makes northbound access to Universal Orlando a bit of a pain form most of the name brand properties. There are back roads you can certainly take.

Grand vista is around 15 min. It’s a really easy drive.

The dates you posted are high demand dates. Suggestion only I would try to book now. The COVID pandemic may play a role in your booking dates at some resorts. You need time that involves the Fourth of July Holiday time. Good Luck.

We stayed at Blue Tree a couple of years ago, and it was maybe a 15 minute drive up Palm Parkway/Turkey Lake Rd. to UOR, no need to get on I-4 if you didn’t want to. Park Soleil is even closer to UOR and would be infinitely nicer than Blue Tree, and Westgate Lakes is even closer than Park Soleil.

We stay in Seaworld area, usually a Marriott or HGVC and then take Palm parkway to Univ. Westgate is much closer, but we'd rather be at HGVC or M.
