Vacation Redefined: Experiencing Hilton Grand Vacations Ultimate Access Events
How HGV Max unlocks exclusive adventures, unforgettable memories and VIP family fun
One of my favorite things about being an HGV Max Member with Hilton Grand Vacations is HGV Ultimate Access events. These special experiences have taken our family vacations to a whole new level, and honestly, they've given us memories we never would've had otherwise, especially with the extras included.
Over the past year, we’ve had the chance to go on some amazing trips, and HGV Ultimate Access events were the cherry on top every single time.
Universal Studios Adventures And A Mystic Dunes Stay
During our vacation in Central Florida, my family and I stayed at Aqua Sol, a Hilton Vacation Club and Mystic Dunes, a Hilton Vacation Club. We kicked things off with a trip to Universal Studios. It was already exciting, but what made it extra special was being able to go back again for Halloween Horror Nights.
This wasn’t just a normal theme park visit. Through HGV Ultimate Access, we received fast passes, a five-course dinner at a nice restaurant inside the park, open bar access and gift cards. It felt like a VIP experience, making the whole night feel magical (and spooky).
The Historic Powhatan, a Hilton Vacation Club And Busch Gardens Christmas Town
A few months later, we went to Williamsburg, Virginia. One of the highlights of our trip was a visit to the Busch Gardens® Christmas Town for our big family holiday get-together. We stayed at The Historic Powhatan, a Hilton Vacation Club, which served as our cozy home base for all the Christmas fun.
Thanks to HGV Ultimate Access, everyone, including immediate and extended family, received meal and drink passes. The only thing we paid for was parking. It was such a sweet way to celebrate together without having to stress about the cost of taking a big group.
A Fancy Night Out In NYC
Another highlight was a quick trip to New York City, where my daughters and I stayed at The Central at 5th, a Hilton Club and enjoyed an incredible HGV Ultimate Access dining event at Fushimi in Times Square.
I’m talking sushi, sashimi, seafood, filet mignon, soup, salad, dessert tasting, expert wine pairings and an open bar. It was absolutely one of the nicest dinners I’ve ever had. It’s something we probably wouldn’t have done on our own, but because it was part of the HGV Ultimate Access experience, we got to enjoy it all without worrying about the price tag.
Myrtle Beach Vibes: Summer Parties And Tacos
Our most recent trip was to Myrtle Beach, where we went to a Summer Deck Party at the House of Blues. There was live music, great food, drinks, games and an all-around good time. We stayed at Anderson Ocean Club, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club and later that week, my sister joined our trip. We got to go to another HGV Ultimate Access event together, and this time it was a fun, laid-back Taco Tuesday at Salt & Lime.
