Hilton bonnet creek

Just asking does anyone have any experience of this hotel, I can get a really good price for the 3 nights I want and its a bed and breakfast rate.
If it,s booked through virgin hotels only the parking and resort fee,s are waived also. Its coming out a lot cheaper than Disney deluxe or the swan and dolphin...… decisions, decisions.

I have heard on DVC forums from someone who also owns there (it is a timeshare) that it’s very nice.

We spent 2 weeks there about 5 years ago, absolutely loved it! Great pool area & lazy river. Regular free shuttles to the Disney parks too x

We stayed there a few years ago and my only complaints were the upcharging on parking and resort fees. I preferred the food in the Hilton restaurants to most of the places we eat at Disney. It’s a typical Hilton but with a slightly nicer pool.

The resort and parking fees are waived with virgin so that's what's making it appealing.

I’ve stayed there a number of times and going again twice this year. However, we do very much prefer the Beach Club if doing Disney parks. The location of the Beach Club and the Disney transport is miles better than the Hilton bonnet creek, and it is also more of a business hotel so lacks that Disney feeling. The Disney transport the Hilton provides really isn’t great - pre booking needed and it goes to multiple parks in one trip so can take forever to get there. We would never use it again.
If you have a car, and don’t mind driving then it’s better - but we like a drink with dinner so driving doesn’t work if doing a whole day in the parks.
So what we are doing this year is 15 nights in Beach Club and then the last 3 nights at the Hilton. It is a lovely hotel, and during the week there is usually a conference on meaning the pool is deserted. No trouble walking out at 11am and getting great loungers and umbrellas (same definitely cannot be said at Disney Beach Club). So we will enjoy 3 days relaxing at the Hilton post Disney and eat in the hotel (much cheaper than Disney and food is nice). Weekends the pool is much busier, and they have games etc round the pool - it feels like a completely different place.

The other time we are going to the Hilton this year is for 7 nights when doing Discovery Cove and seaworld. That is going to be a more relaxed holiday with less park time so the Hilton works well for us. The pool is nice and in the evenings you can walk outside to the Waldorf (normally- but I did get notified that they are doing work this year and it sounded like that path might be closed).

Both my trips this year are booked with virgin holidays hotel only-as you say it’s a good deal with resort fee, parking and breakfast. So overall, I think it depends on what you are doing whilst there.

Top place. Really recommend it. Great pool with lazy river. They did nice breakfast there, which we tried a few times.
The rooms were nice.
The only criticism is we were placed in a room with an interconnecting door and the guy next door was really audible on his phone. We asked to move and got a non interconnected room.
