For Derek R., whose Home Resort is Elara, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club, owning a timeshare with HGV came as a complete surprise.
“My HGV story starts with my wife and I in an elevator in Orlando, on our way up to our first experience with the company, saying, ‘We’re going to be polite because we had a nice weekend, but we’re going to let them know that timeshares really aren’t for us,’” he says, laughing.
“But when we did the tour, we realized there’s a lot more flexibility and a lot more properties than other timeshare systems. We love the fact that you can even tap into RCI resorts through your timeshare with HGV.”
Derek and his wife began their HGV journey by purchasing at Elara in Las Vegas. Soon after, they were able to experience a canal cruise through HGV affiliate partners RCI, helping them realize the breadth of travel opportunities available as a Club Member.
“Since then, we’ve traveled a lot with HGV and our Club membership has given us so many opportunities to visit places we wouldn’t normally have thought to go,” he says. But with so many destinations under their belt, it can be difficult to pinpoint a favorite.
“Whatever our next trip is, it becomes our favorite!” admits Derek. “The most special trip we’ve had is to The Big Island of Hawaii, and we’d love to get back there. But no matter where you travel with HGV, I love that you’re guaranteed quality service, a warm welcome and wonderful staff who are always pleasant and accommodating.”

Kassi P., Home Resort: Hilton Grand Vacations Club at Tuscany Village
Kassi P. is the first to admit she and her husband aren’t your quintessential timeshare owners, having bought into HGV when they were in their late 20s and early 30s. But the breadth of opportunities HGV offers stood out from other, more traditional timeshare programs.
“It felt like this was an investment in our future, one we’re super excited about. We know it’s not very common for young adults to buy into a timeshare program, but we love the amount of properties HGV has — everything from suites in Hawaii to villas in Italy — as well as the top-notch customer service,” says Kassi. “We know we’re going to be traveling for the rest of our lives, and traveling with HGV really elevates the experience for us.”
Greg B., Home Resort: Hilton Grand Vacations Club at The Crane
For Greg B., whose Home Resort is Hilton Grand Vacations Club at The Crane, one of the biggest benefits of traveling with HGV is knowing that the accommodations and amenities are consistently excellent, no matter where in the world he may be.
“When I travel with HGV, I love the fact that I know my accommodation is going to be luxurious and that I’m going to be well taken care of. Every Team Member greets you personally and really makes you feel like you’re among family.”
“I’m 57 years old now and I’m at the age where I realize life is about living and not just acquiring material things,” he continues. “I have a bucket list to see the world, and HGV has afforded me that bucket list.”
