Hilton Vacation Club Riviera Beach & Shores

Hilton Vacation Club Riviera Beach & Shores

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location. Spotless rooms. Excellent service. My suite was large. And the kitchen was so nicely equipped. Free laundry as well. Pool and hottub areas are wonderful as well. Although they right next to the road. So car noise drowns out the waves there. But still lovely. I would definitely stay again. "
