"I have nothing but good things to say about the Hilton Grand Vacations Kings Land. The pool, rooms, and upkeep of the sprawling property were fantastic. In addition to the big pool, there are also smaller pools spread throughout that are closer to the individual units. We stayed in building 24, about a 7 minute walk from the lobby, but we had a pool just downstairs from us if we didn’t feel like taking the walk. The staff were so kind and helpful. Make sure you take advantage of the activities...
"Property was nice. In a good location. Staff was very helpful. What I didn’t like was not enough seating in breakfast area. Breakfast area was open and had birds attacking your plate if left unattended. The birds were also on the serving trays and tables. Unsanitary"
