We're just back from 5 nights at HHI in a two bedroom. Had a good, but not great trip.
Highlights: the beach was awesome--incredibly wide, warm water, and a relief from the HOT temps. Guiseppes for take-out pizza; Phil & Jump's for dinner. Pool area was clean and uncrowded (except during the night slide times).
Lowlights: Air conditioning freezing up, leaving us with inside temps of 82 degrees overnight; couldn't seem to get the towel situation correct--1st day, no hand towels and only one washcloth; on T & T day, we were left with no bath towels for 3 hours (unfortunately the time when we had returned from the pool and were showering. We never had dish cloths for the kitchen and when I checked the cart this morning as we were leaving, there were NO dish cloths on it. Lots of missing items from our unit--no coffee pot (we had the lid to one, but nothing else), no blender, no mixer, no wisk, only 3 pots, one measuring cup; not a complete 8 piece set of dishes. It didn't interfer with our enjoyment; I just noted these things missing.
The crowds were still pretty heavy at restaurants, etc, but it never seemed that crowded at the resort--except during the campfire and the night swims. It was so hot, we really didn't feel like doing much outside so we didn't rent bikes, or do any of the walks. We'll certainly go back, just not in August.
