According to a recent report by ABC News, multigenerational travel is on the rise, with families opting for adventure, value and ease of planning. At Hilton Grand Vacations, we make this a reality whether families seek city excursions, international trips, event-based travel, outdoor adventures or more.
One Hilton Grand Vacations Member, Gina P., has found that vacation membership has increased the quantity and quality of her family vacations. Read on as she reflects on the sales presentation that caught her interest, the benefits of timeshare with Hilton Grand Vacations and how vacation membership has benefited her family. (Spoiler alert: The vacation possibilities are endless.)
From Skeptic To Believer: Gina’s Sales Presentation Experience
Gina and her family first learned about Hilton Grand Vacations through a promotional package to Orlando when her children were young. “I truly loathed sales presentations,” she admitted with a laugh.
“Typically, I only believe half of what I hear and find the salesperson pushy. I didn’t feel that way during the Hilton Grand Vacations presentation. I was inspired by the video part of the presentation that focused on all the travel possibilities.”
Like many potential Members, cost was at the forefront of Gina’s mind. “The first time my husband and I heard about the benefits of HGV, we thought the price was a bit too steep. It wasn’t until the second presentation that we sat down, crunched the numbers and decided to pull the trigger in 2017.
It made fiscal sense for us, almost like a prepaid expense versus something we needed to save for month over month.”
“Honestly, the more you wait, the more you’ll regret delaying when you finally purchase,” Gina advised. “I have scratched my head and said, ‘I should’ve done this sooner.’”
Top Benefits Of Hilton Grand Vacations Membership For Families
Since then, vacation membership with Hilton Grand Vacations has only fueled Gina’s travel bug. “I love to travel, so membership allows us the opportunity to travel all over the world with a brand we trust.” Even though her husband was more of a homebody, the whole family was motivated to take more vacations because of Hilton Grand Vacations.
“At first, I primarily purchased timeshare because of Hilton Grand Vacations’ Florida properties. Our kids were obsessed with Disney at the time, and we had family locally in Florida, so it seemed like a no-brainer,” Gina said.
While her home resort is SeaWorld® Orlando, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club, Gina and her family love exploring new destinations and resorts. “Each Hilton Grand Vacations location brilliantly creates experiences that our family can enjoy together — or keep children happily occupied so adults can enjoy time with each other.”
She recalled one such vacation to Hawaii, when the family enjoyed golf, luaus, swimming with dolphins and more from two Hilton Grand Vacations resorts. “We were able to explore two different HGV properties — and two different experiences — in a single week. It’s one of the most memorable vacations yet.”
Flexible Travel Options From Resorts To Global Adventures
Gina found that vacation membership grew with her family, even as her kids grew up and wanted more adventure. “I love the flexibility membership offers. We sometimes travel where there is no Hilton Grand Vacations resort, but several Hilton properties are nearby.
I love that I can still enjoy the benefits of staying with a brand I trust using the flexibility of stretching and converting ClubPoints.” For example, Gina wrote about her trip to Lake Placid, New York, where she converted ClubPoints to Hilton Honors Points.
“Hilton Grand Vacations meets us where we are. Sometimes we like to stay at a resort. Sometimes we prefer a local hotel. Sometimes, an RCI® timeshare. With HGV, anything and everything is on the table.”

Gina’s final words of advice to anyone on the fence? “Discover Hilton Grand Vacations — you won’t regret it. At first blush, vacation membership may seem pricey. You might think it’s limiting to only stay with Hilton. But I encourage you to see that as a good thing. As Hilton Grand Vacations continues to grow, the opportunities will become endless.”
