Make the Most of Your Next Orlando Stay

Heading to Orlando? In the first of our “Local Picks” video series, join Executive Vice President & Chief Customer Officer Derek De Salvia and our Resort Operations team as they explore some of the City Beautiful’s hidden gems. From insider dining and entertainment recommendations to the latest resort updates, this series is your go-to guide to making the most of your vacation with HGV. Stay tuned for the next installment coming later this year.

Let’s look at the latest news and updates from HGV this spring.

Tips to Maximize Your Points

We all want to get the best value possible when booking a vacation. Club Traveler’s very own Editorial Travel Advisor Shaun C. shares his top tips on how to make the most of your points this year:

“To maximize your points, consider traveling during weekdays when the points costs are lower than on weekends. For instance, a city break from Sunday to Wednesday can increase your chances of snagging that hard-to-get dinner reservation or last-minute theatre ticket. 

“Also, take advantage of our Member Exclusives, such as Reduced Point Stays, available on some of the most exciting destinations in the Hilton Grand Vacations portfolio. Most Members can view these promotions on the Specials page of their Member website. 

“Finally, you can use your points for sightseeing passes at many destinations. As the temperatures rise, customize your plans to include more indoor activities to beat the heat, like exploring a museum or enjoying a live show.”

Window to a Better Work-Life Balance 

In the nonstop modern world, a healthy work-life balance is key for maintaining well-being, reducing stress and boosting productivity. We have a fantastic selection of destinations for a blissful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life this summer. 

Members can experience paradise on earth at The Crane, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club, a breathtaking resort on the coast of Barbados, or soak up laid-back mountain vibes at The Club at Big Bear Village in California. 

For travelers looking to connect with nature, a visit to Tremblant, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club in Canada provides stunning scenery and invigorating year-round activities to refresh your senses. Alternatively, get off the grid with a visit to Rancho Mañana, a Hilton Vacation Club, a tranquil retreat in Cave Creek, Arizona’s desert foothills that makes for a beautiful getaway from the daily grind. 

Members who work remotely could consider working from a far-flung destination at one of our many resorts. Our Suites and resort amenities include Wi-Fi, Business Centers and desks in the Suites, allowing you to stay in touch with work for an even better work-life experience.

Our Members on Their Timeshare Travel Memories

We asked several HGV Members to share the simple joy of how travel has enriched their lives. 

Laura and Lee W., Members since 2019, said, “Hilton Grand Vacations lets us share more of our travel experiences with loved ones and experience so much more than we would be traveling by ourselves.”

“I’ve reveled in sharing my newfound paradise with family and friends,” said Kiana C., a Member since 2022. “Hilton Grand Vacations has allowed me to extend the magic of luxurious getaways to the people I love.” 

For many Members, traveling with HGV has led to once-in-a-lifetime trips. “As I look back at the 20-plus years I’ve been a Member, some of my happiest memories have been on our timeshare vacations. Those memories are priceless, and I’m ready to make some more,” says Maria N., a Member since 2002. 

Rene S., a Member since 2011, agrees: “My journey has been nothing short of an amazing adventure filled with unforgettable experiences, extraordinary service and joyful memories. Vacation ownership has motivated me and my family to plan and spend time together in comfortable and beautiful settings.”

With summer around the corner, we’d like to take this time to say thank you to all our Members for being a part of the HGV family.

Where to stay

Found in the rolling hills of central Scotland, The Kenmore Club provides everything you need for a comfortable stay in the countryside. The spacious cottages are a perfect base for day trips to Stirling and Falkirk.

Members can also stay at Craigendarroch Suites, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club, near the banks of the River Dee. Once a Victorian country house, this notable property sits within the Cairngorms National Park and is just 10 miles from Balmoral Castle, home of the British Royal Family since 1852.

Member Website Upgrades

Since its launch last year, feedback on our unified website has been overwhelmingly positive. This one-stop hub replaced the previous distinct websites for Members of Embarc/Extraordinary Escapes, HGVClub and The Club. Bluegreen Vacation Club Members will continue accessing their Member account and making reservations on bluegreenowner.com.

To ensure we provide the best user experience possible, we continue to enhance the unified website’s capabilities and are pleased to say that Japanese and Korean website translations are now available, with Spanish coming later in 2025.

We will also be unveiling our HGV mobile app this month to Members of Embarc, Extraordinary Escapes and The Club so that you can check your account and make bookings on the move.
