Thanks.
I had a park view room on the 4th floor, no upgrade to executive floor. I received a HHGold certificate that I showed to get free breakfast and free drinks from 10:00-22:00 at their bar downstairs. I think I would have
preferred ocean view, but didn't realize this when I arrived.

I liked the room; the bed was okay, the bathroom was great. Amenities
were also wonderful, and restocked twice a day. The only disadvantage
was the phone; only one phone in the room and not on the desk, but between the two beds. Only one laptop connection, on the desk and not near the bed. It's impossible to work that way. I would have rather seen them with a cordless phone of some sort, or at least a second phone on the desk.

Television was bad. Only one English channel (CNN Asia), with very low quality.

The health club was wonderful. Great sauna. The pool was a little small.

The shops are disappointing unless you're into buying wedding things.

The staff was *absolutely* fabulous. By far the nicest, friendliest, most helpful staff I've ever run into. And I'm - according to Mrs Eljakim - overly critical to small things. I cannot find a single thing wrong with the staff
except for the few people that spoke no English.

I didn't like the location too much. It takes too much time to go anywhere,
but I guess this Hilton was meant as a Disney resort and wedding restort, and I think it's great for that.

Disney Sea was strange. Go early if you want to go, as most of the fasttrack tickets for the good rides were gone by 1pm. Only three
attractions have a single rider line.
