Hilton Vacation Club Riviera Beach & Shores

Hilton Vacation Club Riviera Beach & Shores

10/10 Excellent
"Great property for adults and families. Excellent staff, useful amenities. The game room made us gleeful when we saw a large Connect 4. Our average age is 58. Hahaha Great location. We did wish there were more food options in walking distance, but it did not detract from our stay. Gorgeous view of the ocean. We hope to return next year."
