Hilton Orlando Sea World February ? Or Marriott November

[bradfordHI]

Owner with Diamond Resorts and thinking of booking the Hilton in Orlando at sea world for $358 cash, it's a program, we can purchase other weeks for a one time use, it's called club select. It's not an exchange, I'm booking it for for my brother in laws family.

It's either that or the Marriott Grande or Sheraton Vistana. They are all about $300 to $500 for the week.

Any thoughts would be great. It's an early xmas present.

Has anyone been? They all Seem like a great deal but not sure about the time of year and the properties in Orlando are easy to exchange into but for $300 dollars and no exchange fees It's like I can't go wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

God Bless

First: You're posting this in the HGVC forum, so we're gonna be biased.
SeaWorld is next to... SeaWorld, and in between Disney & Universal.
It's good for families with plenty of on-site play areas & programs.
The others are closer to Disney. Dunno much about 'em.

HGVC Seaworld is our home resort. We have stayed there twice. Once in a 3 bedroom, once in a 2 bedroom. The rooms are very nice and spacious. As mentioned above, it's a great family resort. My kids never really want to leave. They have a lot going on for the kids. A nice pool area. It's directly across the street from SeaWorld. We went to Universal both stays. It's an easy drive 15-20 minutes. Once we drove ourselves and once we took the free shuttle the resort provides. If you go yourself you pay to park, but can come and go as you please. If you take the shuttle it's free but have to follow the schedule. When we do Disney we prefer to stay onsite, but have driven to Disney Springs both times, it's about 20 minutes depending on traffic. Your minutes from I Drive and all that has to offer. It's a pretty centrally located location.

We were there in March both times. Weather was nice that time of year, not very hot, but no problem being around the pool.
I don't know anything about the other two so can't comment, but if you have specific questions about SeaWorld I can try and answer them.

Don't forget to look at the TUG RESORT RANKINGS & REVIEWS for Orlando - https://tug2.com/BrowseResorts.aspx?FL-Gulf Coast/Orlando | Orlando Area&area=4&group=12

You also have Interval International Getaway Rates in the same price ranges, so you're not limited to just those three resorts in Orlando.
