Hilton Buena Vista Palace Island Suites Review: A Family-Friendly Resort with Top-Notch Amenities

Hilton Buena Vista Palace & Island Suite (a review) – Planning a family vacation in Orlando, Florida, close to Walt Disney World attractions?

In need of spacious accommodations and heated outdoor pools?

Look no further! Our recent family getaway with the grandkids led us to the Hilton Buena Vista Palace.

We’re excited to share our experience with you.

Here’s what we discovered during our stay.

If you’re intrigued by the featured accommodations, be sure to request Room 4323 on the 3rd floor of Island Tower for your stay.

Location Matters: Convenient Island Tower Suite 4323

First and foremost, it’s all about location, and we hit the jackpot!

Opting for an Island Tower room ensured that we were just a stone’s throw away from the pools. In fact, our room was merely an elevator ride and a few steps away from the inviting umbrella-covered lounge chairs.

With our two lively grandchildren in tow, we sought the ultimate in convenience, and suite 4323 delivered precisely that. Trust me; you won’t find a better spot!

Separate Parking for Island Suites Guests

It’s essential to keep in mind that Island Suites are situated outside the main resort complex building. As a result, after completing check-in, guests will be directed to a separate parking area.

Room Review: Suite 4323 on the 3rd Floor

Let’s dive right into the review of our room in the Island Wing, Suite 4323, conveniently situated on the 3rd floor with a delightful pool view.

If this looks like your dream spot, don’t hesitate to request Room 4323 when booking your Orlando Hilton Buena Vista Palace getaway.

Two Private Balconies with Fantastic Pool Views

Our room had two private balconies with fantastic pool views.

The accommodations were impeccably clean, and Hilton’s reputation for quality was evident.

The space was vast, with a separate living area where the kids slept, providing us grandparents some well-deserved peace.

Two Generous-Sized Televisions and Two Comfortable Queen Beds

The kids did complain that the pull-out sofa was uncomfortable, compared to other resorts we have visited. 

There were two generously sized televisions and two comfortable queen beds in the main bedroom.

Surprisingly, the suite was incredibly quiet despite its proximity to the outdoor pools.

The customer service was outstanding, with thoughtful text updates during our stay.

Complimentary Wi-Fi made it easy to catch up on work when needed.

Amenities and Services

The convenience of the heated pools, zero-entry swimming pool, lazy river, and Shades Bar was unbeatable.

The poolside lounge chairs and food service allowed us to relax and soak in the scenery.

While the resort is family-friendly, it’s equally appealing for couples seeking a relaxing getaway.

We also appreciated the complimentary pool floats for the lagoon, which were readily available.

Overall, our experience at the Hilton Buena Vista Palace was top-notch.

A Relaxing Getaway for Families and Couples

Steve and I embarked on a grand Orlando adventure with the grandkids, opting for a theme park-free experience.

Truth be told, we weren’t up for the sweltering July heat at Walt Disney World. Instead, we craved relaxation with pool floats and frozen drinks!

With this in mind, we chose the Hilton Buena Vista Palace in Orlando, Florida.

What awaited us was a fantastic vacation featuring stunning outdoor pools, a lazy river, on-site dining, comfortable accommodations, and top-notch customer service.

Evenings were a delight at the nearby Disney Springs, offering entertainment and dining options galore.

Travel Tip: Reservations at Disney Springs are a must for the finest dining experiences

Conclusion: A Fantastic Vacation Destination

In Conclusion, Finding Kathy Brown’s travel blog can 100% recommend the Hilton Buena Vista Palace Island Suites for travelers with children. Steve and I liked our experience so much, that we plan a future visit as a couples getaway.
