View from the HGVC or bHC Balcony

For future reference, the HGVC website has room descriptions. Not the best, but it will keep you from being surprised.

2 Bedroom Plus (2BP) Size: 1,269 sqft Accommodates: 6
This spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom golf course view suite with lanai, located on the first or second floor, features a large master bedroom with a king-size bed and bathroom with a free-standing shower and separate soaking tub. The second bedroom is furnished with two double beds and bathroom with a standing shower. A generous living room includes a queen-size sleeper sofa, full kitchen with rice steamer, and washer/dryer. The suite also features an HD cable TV with DVD player.

Yeah I read that closer after they gave me a ground floor unit. I went by the description on TUG that was incorrect, but I have since had it corrected. I would figure as an Elite, if I requested a second Floor unit, they might actually give me my request. So much for being Elite. I was never treated so poorly as I was at KL. I finally got my unit at 530 pm, and not what I requested. I checked in at 1230 pm. Other people kept getting keys and checking in, not sure why my issue was.

Bummer, as Elite you should've been treated better.

A plus unit at KL could be on the first floor but an end unit. To me that's preferable to a 2nd floor unit. I used to get the Premier at KL but now I just get regular because the ground floor is nice to just be able to walk outside from your patio.

I did not get an end unit. I got a unit in the middle. I definitely booked a plus unit. I agree with you I would just book a regular unit next time.

I still have the promotional booklet from 2008, purchased pre-construction. They changed the building configurations to add 3 bedrooms later. The first two floors were all plus units with 1 bedrooms on the end.

My preference now are the phase 2 std two br units, lowest point cost and I prefer the inside hallways. When waikablowa is going watch out for the front door slam when you have the lanai door open - whoosh!

Funny that when I exchanged in via RCI they game me a 2 BR Premier. When I stay that as a Elite HGVC owner I get a ground floor Plus. Seems like my choices are getting worse.

I think its because the premier units are too many points, all the savvy premier owners book cheaper units. That leaves a lot of vacant premier units to dump into RCI.

Yeah, KL is the one place where I actually preferred staying on the ground floor. I loved being able to just walk outside from the patio, and my kids went out there quite a bit to throw a ball around. It was also convenient when using the grill to cook some dinner. To each their own...

Our view from a second floor unit in HGVC Kohala Suites building 18. Right beside clubhouse and pool. That's the pool to the right and the 11th tee box behind the tree in center left of the picture.

Not using our HGVC ownership, but its an RCI exchange leftover from an ownership in another system that we sold a few years ago. Surprised we got a second floor unit with an RCI exchange.

Here's one more view from our balcony at HGVC Kohala Suites on our check-in day last Saturday. Gotta love those Big Island sunsets.

That is a freakin' great picture! We will be at Kohala in May. I can only hope to see something this beautiful when we're there.

Cheers.

From suite #18 at Hilton Grand Vacations Club at Craigendarroch Suites. (It's not quite a gloomy here as it looks in the photos.)

Not quite HGVC but here's the view from the newly opened Conrad across the street from Hilton Midtown (Residences, HCNY). We used our HH free night on our Aspire card to stay here on a weekend night then moved over to W57 for the weekdays to stretch expensive weekend HGVC points. The hotel is tall and it appears that many rooms above a certain floor have filtered views. They said that higher floor rooms on the west end of the hotel see the Hudson River.

They claim they are the only all-suite hotel in mid-town (I presume they didn't include timeshares). The renovated suites were spacious with a king in the master and a queen sofabed in the living area (no kitchen). As an HH Diamond we had $30/pp free breakfast for 2 ($60 total). The restaurant had not re-openned yet, so they provided room service. The $30/pp on room service didn't cover a full American breakfast ($42/pp not including room service fee) but I found the lox and bagels to be quite superior and within the budget. (We picked up starbucks around the corner). The room had a nice alcove table to eat breakfast and enjoy the view (see below). Apparently this was previously an Asian hotel and was a JW Marriott prior to that. The coffee bar in the room was also unique. Definitely an option if you need a 1 bedroom suite in NYC to stretch an HGVC visit.

Looks better than "partial" ocean view.

Lagoon Ocean front or palm tree front? Lol
