We wanted to be oceanfront, and Westgate came up on my Choice app, but we were there for one night, so we didn't do any other activities. Everybody was very friendly and the room was good. Only issue I had was the shower wasn't all that awesome. Other than that, we had a pleasant time and a great experience, and we’re going back there.
Hi Britt,
Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad our location, friendly team, and comfortable accommodations made your stay meaningful, even under difficult circumstances. We appreciate your feedback about the shower and are working on updates. We hope to welcome you back for a brighter visit soon!

We had a recent visit to Westgate River Ranch and it was great. It was very family-friendly and that's why I went. For plenty of people, I didn’t wait long for check-in, too. We'll definitely go back again sometime. Everything was clean and well done, and I highly recommend it
Hi Heather,

We go to Orlando all the time for my kids’ spring break or just vacation. I was just Googling and it pulled up different resorts and hotels. I chose Westgate because of the amenities, the price, the location and very good reviews. Their customer service was A1. When I notice that I'm getting treated well, I do recognize that. Every question I had, and I had a lot of questions, there was a response back in under five minutes. They went above and beyond.

I attended a conference held at Westgate Resorts, and the location and the amenities were truly impressive; everything was beautifully arranged. I visited one of their bars and appreciated having everything conveniently located within the resort. Overall, my stay was pleasant, with the room cleanliness meeting my expectations. But upon checking in, I found there was no provided map or guide to the hotel, and upon further inspection, the room lacked information on the available TV channels and other facility offerings. It would be beneficial for future guests if Westgate provided a comprehensive guide that included these details. Despite the informational gap, my stay was enjoyable and if I had to rate my experience, I'd give it high marks.
Hi Wendy,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the conference, the resort amenities, and the overall cleanliness of your room.

Westgate Resorts has a convenient location in Gatlinburg, which allowed for easy walking access to the downtown area. However, my experience at the resort itself was somewhat limited. The site we stayed at was smaller and only featured outdoor pools, so we primarily spent time in our room rather than participating in the resort's activities.
The accommodations included a small continental breakfast that we enjoyed. While the resort did not offer additional activities like spas or relaxation perks, they were exceptionally accommodating with our check-in and check-out requirements. It was a bonus to secure a late check-out to accommodate our schedule, as we needed to attend a convention with my son. Also, they're pet-friendly. In terms of the resort's facilities, some areas could use a bit of upgrading. It's older. It just needs some freshening up.
Hi Wendy,
Thank you for your detailed feedback! We're happy to hear you enjoyed our location, friendly staff, and convenient check-in experience. We appreciate your suggestions about the pet areas and amenities, and we will keep them in mind as we work to improve. We can’t wait to welcome you back soon!

I liked Westgate's attractive pricing and convenient location in Branson. Upon arrival, I found the check-in process to be a bit slow, although it was manageable, having stayed there twice this spring. The check-out process felt somewhat prolonged due to the numerous forms that required signing. Nonetheless, these minor setbacks didn't overshadow the overall ease and professionalism of the reception.
During my stay, we chose Westgate Branson and I discovered some amusing quirks. For instance, when I initially asked about nearby pizza options, I was directed off-site, completely unaware of the pizza place available at the resort. It seemed the automated service wasn't quite in tune with the local offerings.
Activity-wise, the first visit had limited options due to ongoing construction, which left us mainly to enjoy the pool. The pool itself was wonderful, both warm and clean. By our second visit, my husband and I celebrated our 41st anniversary by indulging in a game of skee-ball, which added to our memorable experience.
My appreciation for the resort rooms primarily stems from their cleanliness and updated features like the lack of carpet. However, I did notice an inconsistency in floor cleanliness—as our feet turned brown from walking on what appeared to be clean floors, suggesting the water for mopping might need frequent replacement.
Another observation during our second visit was our room placement near the dumpster, which, while not appetizing, was understandable given our discounted room rate. Despite this small hiccup, I was impressed overall and have recommended Westgate Branson to my sister, noting its quality exceeds the review rating it holds.
One noteworthy addition is the newly opened arcade and activity center—although a tad pricey, the facilities cater well to families, boasting a variety of entertainment options for children. With rooms obtained for an exceptional price, I'm satisfied with Westgate's offerings and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone seeking a pleasant resort experience.
Hi Pam,
Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed your stays, our pricing, clean rooms, and fun amenities like the pool and arcade. We appreciate your notes on check-in, floor care, and room placement. Your insights help us improve. It’s great to hear you’d recommend us, and we look forward to welcoming you and your family back soon!

I picked Westgate Resorts based on a friend's recommendation. We stayed there for two nights and it was a pleasant experience. The check-in and check-out processes were smooth, and I found the customer service to be commendable. We did use room service when we needed extra towels, and they were prompt and courteous.
However, we didn't get to use some of the amenities, as they were under construction during our stay. We didn't try the pool or visit the bowling alley which was still in progress, but there was a Starbucks and a spot to buy pizza available.
The rooms were very well maintained, and I have no complaints in that regard. Considering our overall experience, I'd say it was a beautiful place to stay, and we had a great time. I would certainly consider returning to Westgate Resorts in the future.
Hi Troy,
Thank you for choosing Westgate Resorts and for your kind words! We’re glad you had a pleasant stay and appreciated our service and well-kept rooms. We apologize for the limited amenities during construction and hope you'll return to enjoy everything once complete.

I came down for a family gathering and I just know about Westgate in the past because we used to own at Westgate down in Florida. The check-in and check-out processes were straightforward and hassle-free. Although I didn't try the on-site dining options or participate in resort activities like the pool or spa, I spent most of my time out enjoying the location. One aspect that has consistently impressed me about Westgate is the quality of their customer service and how well-maintained their properties are. The room was clean and provided all the channels for some downtime.

We went to Westgate Resorts in Pigeon Forge based on their price point. The booking process was seamless and user-friendly. We didn't want a room on the top level and upon arrival, the staff was exceptional and attentive to our needs, offering us a room on the main level without any hassle. The room was clean and well-maintained, perfectly meeting our needs and budget considerations. The room was smaller but we didn't need anything bigger than that.

The check-in at Westgate was straightforward. We were also pleased with how user-friendly the Westgate website was. The resort staff were accommodating, and everything went as expected.
One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the room. Westgate Resorts prides itself on maintaining clean and nicely-appointed accommodations, and our previous and current stay reflects that.
Even though our stay was relatively brief, limiting our exploration of all available amenities, we noticed amenities like a new game room and waterpark and managed to spend a little time poolside. Given our overall experience, I recommend Westgate Resorts to others.

I stumbled upon Westgate Resorts' Branson Woods location randomly and I was attracted by its reasonable pricing. Checking in and out was hassle-free; the check-out process was especially convenient as I could simply leave my belongings at the gate.
Interaction with the staff was minimal, limited to check-in and purchasing essentials from their on-site marketplace. The food options were delightful, with several nights enjoying their homemade pizzas, a refreshing change from the usual frozen fare.
While I didn't engage in the resort's activities personally, my son enjoyed playing basketball and volleyball with other kids. Our main reason for visiting Branson was the golfing scene, and we managed to play on seven different courses in our six-day stay—truly a golfer's haven.
In terms of location, it served our offbeat golf expedition well. However, the one drawback during our stay was the Wi-Fi issue in our room. Although we reported it, they never got it resolved even though they said they'd call us once they did. It's not a big deal since people have cellphones these days, but it would have been a nice thing to have working. Nonetheless, my overall impression was positive, and I rated the experience a four out of five, appreciating the competitive pricing with a solid five.

My sister-in-law has a timeshare with Westgate and we went with them. Regarding check-in, that was probably the only downside. Although check-in was meant to be at 3 PM, we arrived at 4 PM only to find out our room wasn't ready. We did some shopping and were gone for about 1.5 to 2 hours, then they called to inform us, "Well, we couldn't get that room ready. So we're getting you other rooms." That was a bit of a pain in the butt.
Once checked in, I have to say the location and amenities were up to par. We mostly used the pool and hot tub, and everything was clean and well maintained. Our room's location was decent too. We did encounter a minor issue with the door of the other party we were with, but the staff responded promptly and fixed it within half an hour. That was good.
Overall, I'd rate my experience about a 4 out of 5.

I ended up choosing Westgate Resorts because they collaborated with my bank, USAA, providing discounted prices. With a water park on-site and a forecast of rain, it seemed like a great choice for my daughter. The stay was enjoyable overall. While everything in the resort was quite appealing—the arcade was surprisingly good with a great selection of games and prizes—the only downside was the limited food options. At the water park's snack bar, they were out of most menu items, and unfortunately, we experienced food poisoning from the fried pickles. Despite this setback, the resort's arcade and the water park themselves exceeded my expectations. They offered more activities than anticipated, making our time there memorable. Except for the food issue, it was a pleasant stay, and Westgate Resorts managed to deliver a good experience.

We've visited Westgate Resorts multiple times and we go to the one in Orlando generally. I adore the downtown setting with easy access to Italian restaurants and other dining options. One of my favorite aspects is this unique spot where we can stroll over for cocktails and snacks. It's perfect for a relaxed night out. Also, it's reasonably priced. I could go elsewhere, but the people there are nice and they're more than helpful. Christina, who works at the front desk, is particularly fabulous. I was supposed to go with my daughter and I had already booked but she relocated. Christina effortlessly arranged for us to maintain the same room at Westgate to coincide with the other two days that we had booked there. Everything about Westgate is nice. An added bonus is the fully equipped kitchen facilities that let me cook since my stomach prefers homemade meals over dining out frequently.

Westgate Resorts offered the best price for my group of seven through a popular booking website app. Upon arrival, I found the check-in and check-out process to be smooth and hassle-free.
I enjoyed the pool, which was fantastic, although the hot tub was closed due to it being off-season. Unfortunately, the in-room microwave didn't work initially, but the staff promptly replaced it with one from another room. However, the Internet service was down throughout the weekend, and they couldn't fix it until after our departure.
The breakfast at the resort was satisfactory, providing a decent start to our day. I was disappointed that the mini-golf course was under construction, as it's something I had looked forward to. While I understand they're renovating, it still took away from the experience.
Overall, I'd rate my stay as four stars because of the non-functioning amenities. I am optimistic about returning once the renovations are complete, as I'm curious about the improvements being made.

I opted for Westgate Resorts when searching for accommodations during my son's baseball tournament. It was one of the options available from the tournament link, and several other parents recommended it from past seasons.
My check-in experience was smooth with no significant delays, despite a short line of other guests. The staff was informative and helpful. Initially, I had plans to stay only Saturday night, but I decided last minute to arrive on Friday, resulting in a room change between the two nights. This was my decision, purely for convenience. Regarding the room, I did encounter an issue with the toilet in the first room, as the flushing mechanism was faulty due to a rusty chain. However, I reported this to the front desk.
While staying at the hotel, I didn't have a chance to try the on-site food options. Our early schedule at the ball field meant that facilities like a café, which appeared to offer Starbucks and snacks, were not open in time.
In a different venture, I experienced Westgate's facilities in Las Vegas. Here, I enjoyed the variety of food options, including a food court with pizza, wings, and chicken strips, as well as a themed Asian bistro—all surrounded by numerous TVs for watching sports.
Overall, I would recommend Westgate Resorts to friends and family, especially for their accommodating nature. My experience with them in Branson was particularly pleasant as they ensured our team stayed together, a thoughtful touch we've found lacking at other places.
The booking process was seamless, likely linked through the tournament’s preferred options. The website was user-friendly and suited my frequent travel booking needs. As for pricing, I felt it was fair and competitive with other accommodations for similar events.

When we got there, the line for check-in was long and it didn't move relatively quick, but whenever I finally got up there, the customer service was good. The room accommodations were nice, too.
The only thing is they really need to work on the parking. We weren’t able to park close to the building because it was mostly just a lot of handicap spaces and maybe three regular spaces. We had four children, so it was just a lot to bring up all our stuff.
Other than that, it was decent. We ate at the restaurant and it was good, and I’ll stay at Westgate Resort again.
Hi Avery,
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed our location, customer service, and accommodations. It’s great to hear you had a good dinner at our on-site restaurant.

We were traveling for a competition so I went online looking for a location close to the Orange County Convention Center where the competition was. Westgate Lake was not far from the location and a family stayed there who had a good experience. After looking at everything that was at the resort, we decided it was better for us. There were activities that my daughter and I were able to participate in throughout the day so that was great.
Our experience was very nice. From the time we arrived, everybody greeted us. They took us to our room and the room met the expectations. But the air conditioner may have stopped working. When we realized it, we phoned in to maintenance. They came out within 30 minutes and they said it was froze. They were gonna work on it to get it to defrost and the air started back working.
Also, I didn’t realize at first that the room was gonna have a jacuzzi in the middle of the bathroom. That was a shocker because we didn’t know it was gonna be there. But it had everything we needed. I enjoyed having at least a mini fridge so if we went to eat, we were able to bring our leftovers back and put them in the refrigerator. The microwave was a great because we were able to warm up our leftovers and eat later on that night.
I also like the lanai area. But I wish we had two chairs instead of one because both of us really couldn’t sit out at the same time unless we shared the chair. But everything was updated. The bedding was updated and the bed was soft. I had multiple pillows to choose from. The bathroom seemed to be more updated than the room itself. The only thing was the water pressure may have been all the way up when we flushed. But it would just take a longer time for the tank to fill back up.
The bellman was the first one we came in contact with and he was very helpful. He wrote down some helpful numbers for us. Even though he told us it was in our packet, he didn’t mind giving us the additional number.
We ate at two of the restaurants and both times, we had great experiences. We went to the store a few times and they had more stuff in there. We visited everything. My daughter had a hamburger one day, wings on another and pizza at the pizza parlor.
Everybody we came in contact with was helpful. They didn’t mind telling us how to get around the property. One person even brought a map and showed me where I was and where I needed to be. They showed me how to pull it up on my phone and kept it there. I didn’t realize I had gotten a text already telling me that I can download it and have it up so that was very helpful too. I’ve already referred them to friends. I have another daughter that plays volleyball and she has a tournament coming up in June. I’ve already given the information to everybody on the team.
Hi Janet,
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a pleasant stay at Westgate Lakes Resort.

The check-in with Westgate was all good. I registered and did everything online, so it was pretty much set and waiting on me when I walked in. I told them my name, they handed me my key and I went on to the room, which was very nice. We’ve stayed there twice before we became a member.
Everything was good, and they had great service. The people and security were great, walking around and checking on everything. I had no issues and no problems. They have a restaurant connected to the hotel, but we did not eat on-site.

We wanted to go out west to a dude ranch but it's such a long haul that when my friends found a dude ranch here in Florida, we said, “Great. That's for us.” They were fine once we got there, but like everything nowadays, you get multiple emails. I don't want a relationship. I just wanted to go to the thing and rent a hotel room. But everyone involved with it was very polite.
I went horseback riding, that was fine. The lady running it was fine. We both did skeet shooting. They called it trap shooting, and that was fine. The guy giving the lesson was wonderful. We rode in something called the swamp buggy, and that guy was very knowledgeable. He told us a lot of stuff about nature. Those three things were all a big hit, and that’s really why we went.
We also liked the rodeo because they didn't have calf roping, and no animals were being treated harshly. It was bucking broncos, and they were fine like that. Then people were riding around on horses. There was bull riding, but it wasn't harsh on either the bull or the rider. We thought we might have to leave during the rodeo if it was too harsh on the animals, but it was not at all.
They have some kind of a rib place, grill by the river, and we didn't think so much of the food there. The ribs seemed overdone. It's a dude ranch, so it's supposed to be real basic. Even though it's supposed to be down home and funky, you had to wait on yourself at the grill. You had to put it on a tray and eat off a paper plate. But the restaurant food was very good.
The hotel room had one main light. It was high up in the air between the two beds. It had two lamps on it, and you couldn't turn one off. We had a person in each bed, and you couldn't read without the other person being flooded with light. The thing was so high up. When you're lying in bed and trying to read, it's shining right in your eyes, so we found the room was not very comfortable.
It had a good bathroom and a nice little kitchenette. The beds were comfortable. The towels were hidden under the cupboard, but we finally found that. We called and said we needed more towels and pillows. That was the other thing. There were two queen beds, and they gave you one pillow for each bed. Mostly, it was the lighting that was really tough. For what we were paying, $180 a night, it's a very stripped-down hotel room. Tile floors and nothing fancy.
We would recommend, and we did recommend it to friends. We loved the open space. They said that ranch is 1,700 acres and it butts up to 8,000 acres of preserve. The best part was the open space, and the help were all extremely polite and nice. We had booked for four nights, and on the last day, it was raining. It was supposed to rain all day. We went down to the desk and said we were gonna go ahead and leave that morning. They said, “Okay. We won't charge you for tonight.” That was very nice of them.

It was really great location for us. It wasn’t Westgate’s fault that construction was really bad right where we were, and we found a way to work around it. Checking in was a little difficult. We wanted to be in the same place together, and they had booked different rooms than I did, but in order for me to be the same location, they needed to downgrade my hotel room, and I wouldn’t get any of my money back even though I was getting a different room. They said the room that I had was hard to get and they didn't like to give those away. So, I was surprised that they weren’t willing to give me the difference between the room that I got. I wish it was clearer when I was booking my room, so I could have avoided that and saved my money since I didn't stay in a nicer room anyway.
There are some aspects of the room that need to be upgraded. The sliding door was very hard to move. Every time I would try to move the blinds, they would break. So, just some minor upgrades. But I left my AirPod behind, and they immediately sent security to retrieve it, and mailed it to me in a very reasonable time frame. The hot tubs are located in very convenient places, and even though it was a chillier weekend, the heated pools made it comfortable for the kids to still enjoy a little Florida weather, even though it wasn't as warm as expected. It was unseasonably cool the time we were there, so the heated pools definitely made it easy for us to enjoy ourselves while we were there.

We stayed at Westgate for our late anniversary/Valentine's getaway. It was the first one that had an availability and it seemed like a really nice place. It wasn't cheap either. We were going for nice, not cheap. Checking in was quick. They had a queue, but it moved very quickly, so it wasn't bad. Granted we didn't spend much time in the room, when we did, it was just in the evenings to eat dinner or to go to bed, and it was a very comfortable bed. The kitchenette was perfect for what we wanted, which was to cook for ourselves and not eat out every night. Overall, for what we did, we were very happy with it.
We've actually told several people since we've been back where we stayed and they said the price wasn’t bad even though to us being from East Tennessee, it was very expensive ‘cause it was $550 for three nights. It was a little bit pricey for what we're used to 'cause we live in a fairly rural area. But for the amenities that you'd get there if you were actually staying on the resort, the theme parks, and the fact that they did have shuttles going to them, that was pretty cool.
We did have an issue with the shower. We'd showered prior, so we knew how to do it, but it was giving us a problem. They came as quickly as possible and fixed it within seconds because it was apparently some kind of safety mechanism that we didn't know until we got them out there. We apologized for having them out needlessly, but they were cool. So, no issues with them, no issues with the actual room, no issues with anything. Everything was perfect.

My wife booked our stay with Westgate, and we picked them because of ease of use and location. Disney World, Universal, all that stuff that we did is all right there. The location is awesome.
Their staff was polite, responsive, and respectful. I didn’t have any negative experiences or concerns. The food options were good, though a little pricey, but for ease of use, everything was good. Also, they had the grocery store, or ‘market,’ all in one place, so it’s pretty nice to be one and done.
We got to do pretty much everything—swimming, bowling, golf, the water park, and everything that’s there. It was well worth the money. Though I didn’t pay for it because I had rewards points, it was free that way. Other than that, pricing was pretty comparable to everything else in the area.
My only complaint was that we went with a group of people, and we were the first to check in. We got the room we booked, but it was far away from all the main restaurants and swimming pools. We asked to be moved closer, but the only way was to upgrade rooms, and it cost me $600. Then we found out everybody else in our group who checked in after us got upgraded for free even though they had booked the same exact room as us.

My daughter rented a room at Westgate in Kissimmee, and we stayed there, too. I was gonna go by myself, and I didn't really want to because I knew I was gonna spend money on food, and I couldn’t afford it. My wife wanted to come along, and when my friend heard that he upgraded it to a massive two-bedroom and it was nice. He also brought his family with him. He was just trying to help me get away for a weekend.
We ate breakfast at First Watch and my wife enjoyed it. I'm big at watching UFC, and they had tons of ESPN sports on in the restaurant. I asked two different workers if they could turn it on, and no one turned it on. But maybe they considered UFC violent. We went to one swimming pool, and it was closed. We went to the other pool, and I'm not picky, but there was a tree over the Jacuzzi thing and leaves were in there. They had people there walking by, looking like they were monitoring the pool and needed to pay attention to that tree over that spot to take out the leaves regularly. They had some kind of lake event that we were gonna check out, but the lake was closed.
The biggest thing for me was the parking. That was a Debbie Downer for me. They didn’t enforce the handicap parking very well, and it was free-for-all, park wherever you can, so I had to park far away just to get a spot. And then the check-in line was long. Everybody was checking in, so I get it, and the line was moving, but it was borderline. It needs to be a little bit more efficient. But they're good ‘cause I left my debit card at the restaurant, and I noticed it a week later. I called, got through the security, and they had it. So, I drove up there and got it. My wife loved it. It's a good place and they have events. I used to do Uber and Lyft years ago, picked up and dropped off customers there all the time, so they got a great thing going on.

I travel for work and go to Orlando a few times a year. The company I work for puts us up at Westgate, and usually it’s pretty good. On my last two trips, it was more hectic. It felt more crowded, with newer staff and more issues with the rooms. I’ve already had to switch rooms three times this year. I’ve been there three times, and on one trip alone, I had to switch rooms twice.
They have a small pizza place and a sandwich shop, which are good. Most of the time, I drive up the road to Publix or Walmart to buy food because I’m usually there for 10 days or more. I cook in the room, which is the main reason they put a lot of us up at Westgate.
The staff is always great. The room issues and things being a little screwy are problems with the resort itself, but the staff is always amazing. The front desk, service staff are all very helpful and friendly whenever we need anything and during the check‑in and check‑out process.
They’re familiar with our company and know when a group of us is staying there, so they work with us really well. I recommend Westgate all the time. I’ve even stayed there outside of work, just on vacation with my wife.

We went to the rodeo at Westgate River Ranch. We had some friends going and we’ve always wanted to go there so we met up with them. Checking in was easy. The line was long though so maybe they should have more people there to help check people in.
Its’ a real kid-friendly place and there’s nothing wrong with that. But I didn’t really see any adult entertainment activity amenities except for a pickleball court there. If you don’t have a family, there’s really not a whole lot there to do than just enjoy the surroundings which is nice.
We enjoyed the rodeo a lot. But there were a lot of trash around lying around on the ground yet nobody’s picking up. And that was after the rodeo and after events, there were bottles and garbage along the streets even after a couple of days which was surprising.
But overall, it’s a nice place and we had a wonderful time. Their price is more compared to some places, but others don’t have all the amenities that were at Westgate so their price was fair. It’s definitely worth going for a few days especially the time of year we were there.

The first time I stayed at Branson Woods was because of the good price on rooms that gave me a suite. We've got a young child who goes to sleep long before I do. Plus, I liked it so I wanted to come back. I had a good experience. Everybody was super friendly, explained the layout of the land to me since it's got multiple cabins and then sent me on my way to my room. It was fast, seamless, and friendly. I liked that there was a Starbucks-type place right there and I got texts about activities. The location of Westgate was convenient. It wasn't far from any attraction but it was also just off the beaten path, so it wasn't congested with traffic. It was right next to everything without being on everything. It was nice.

Westgate Resorts has incredible customer service. There was never a request that wasn't fulfilled immediately. The booking online was easy enough. The check-in process was great. We got there a little early. The room was ready, so that was great. The room was incredible. It was everything we could have wanted. I upgraded to the room with fireplace and the Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom and our balcony. We had a great balcony that was overlooking the ski, Après area, and the bottom of the mountain there in the Canyons Village. There was a burger bar that we went to the first night. There was a very nice steakhouse on site as well. And right outside the doors, there were some options as well.
We were in Park City, Utah. The accommodations for skiing there were incredible. We were able to rent our skis inside the resort. There was a ski valet that took our skis to the bottom of the mountain. When we wanted to go to another side of the mountain, there was a shuttle that was available to take us to where we needed to go. There was an indoor pool that looked very nice and refreshing.

I was in the area for the NFR and I chose Westgate because it was conveniently located close to the convention center and had a tram to get there. The check-in and check-out process was excellent, characterized by quick and friendly customer service—truly a no-fuss experience. I was particularly impressed with the food options, especially the gluten-free items on the menu at the Italian restaurant. I would honestly consider staying there again just for that. However, I did find the staff at the small shop in the hallway to be somewhat pushy, reminiscent of used car salesmen, which was quite off-putting. They seemed to be targeting the wrong audience and followed me even after I declined their offers. Despite that, I'm considering returning next year.

During my recent stay at Westgate Resorts in Las Vegas, I had a truly enjoyable experience. A coworker had previously recommended the place, and I must say, it lived up to the praises. The apartment I stayed in was impressive, featuring its own jacuzzi and a variety of activities to do around the resort. One of the best conveniences was the shuttle bus service, which allowed me to get around without needing to drive—bookings for pick-up and drop-off were straightforward.
Checking in and out was seamless, though there was a $200 deposit required for room insurance, which is standard for most hotels now. Fortunately, I found the staff helpful, especially when there were any issues, such as a problem with the room key.
I spent some time by the pool and made use of the ping pong table available. Although I didn't partake in activities like arts and crafts or golf due to my busy schedule in Vegas, these options were available.
I felt very secure during my stay. The requirement to show identification to enter the facility was reassuring, adding an extra layer of safety. It's comforting to know the area is well-monitored, allowing for peace of mind both around the resort and when leaving the property.

I like the availability of Jacuzzi tubs at Westgate Resorts, which is a big plus for us. During the check-in process, I encountered no significant issues; everything went smoothly.

Fortunately, after notifying the staff, a technician came out and fixed it within an hour, which I appreciated.
Since we live nearby, our stay was more of a staycation, but the recreational options available were appealing.
One hiccup I faced was during check-out. I mistakenly left my phone in the room after already being instructed to leave the key inside, which left me locked out.

I have stayed at Westgate Resorts a few times, mainly when I'm in the Kissimmee or Orlando area. The check-in and check-out process is usually seamless, though at larger resorts, there can be a bit of a wait. My most recent visit was to a smaller resort, which did not have the amenities I'm accustomed to at larger locations.

It was dark, so we couldn't see where to go and she said, “Just go in and go to the right, and somebody will come get you.” So we did and we sat there for about 15 minutes and then finally, we saw a golf cart way up ahead, so we drove up to it, and we asked, “Are you supposed to take us to your site?” The guy said, “Yeah, that's me.

On our first day at the resort, we went down for the airboat ride and we were early, so we saw the game room and put $40 cash in the machine to get the card that you need to play the game. We put the money in, and then it popped up a message saying that the machine was out of card. So it just took our $40.
We reported it multiple times. We went to the front desk and they sent us to the activity center. The activity center said there was nothing they could do about it. We needed to go to the front desk. So we went back to the front desk. They said, “No, go to the activity center.” Then they told my husband, “Oh, it's a third party company. There's nothing we can do.” So I said, “Well, let's go back over there tomorrow when there's a different employee working and see if we get a different answer.”
When we went back, a girl gave us the number of the third party company. She said, “Oh, yeah. This has happened a bunch. You're like the 40th person to come in here and tell us.” I said, “So then why don't you guys put a sign on the machine saying “out of order”, or a sign on the game room door because you can't use the game room without the card? So why do you let people keep putting money in the machine?" She said she tried but she got yelled at.
Three weeks since we were at Westgate, I called the number they gave us for the third party company which goes to a gentleman's cell phone. I've called and left three voicemails. But no one's ever called me back. So I called the resort and told them, and they said they were so sorry. The staff said, “My supervisor just got in. I'm gonna explain this to her and I will have her call you back. It'll either be me or her, but one of us will call you back today and get it resolved either way. So you'll hear from one of us.” But we never heard from anyone. We wanna go back to the resort but we're not going back until we get that $40 because we were so disappointed in how it was handled.

We went through Priceline and we looked at Westgate and we liked it. The price was very good for our stay. The check-in was fast and very professional and the hospitality was great. When we walked into our room, it had no odor and it was very clean. We enjoyed the whole stay at Westgate. They had a building where we could get coffee and the only thing that was disappointing to that was that they closed at a certain time. And I did not see any vending machines. But other than that, it was great. I would recommend Westgate. When we come back, we're heading back up there again. I like the security. The reps check you in, make sure that you arrive and you're tagged to get in and out of the property. They're super friendly. We went and saw the Christmas lights and it was very nice and relaxing.

My daughter's a big rodeo fan, so we went to Westgate for her birthday and everything was good. Everything was there and the food was good. We did the airboat ride, the karaoke, and everyone was super nice. A couple people asked me how it was ‘cause they went there when they were really young and didn't know if it was still like it was. I told them that they should definitely go and everything was smooth. The price was legitimate and good. I lost track of the days, and we booked too close. When we first looked, it was very budget-friendly, but because we didn't know how many people were going, I didn't know which route I needed to go. Still, the price was worth it.

The check-in process at Westgate was very easy. The ladies up front took very good care of this. After a few minutes, we were checked in and got to the room. All the people who have worked there were excellent. The first room that we stayed in was small, which was fine with me. Loved the fireplace. The wife wanted a bigger room because we brought our grandsons up later during the week. They let us move to a bigger room. But the maintenance guy said it was one of the older buildings that they have and the only thing in that building is there's no water pressure. And there was nothing that they could do to fix it. But the facility was nice and it was in a great location. Easy access to the town. It's off the main strip but I like that. Getting in and out was easy as pie. We enjoyed it. The restaurant was closed, though. They said it hadn't opened up after COVID. So we had to go out to eat.

I would like to do it again in the summer time when it gets cold and I can get out and explore the hot tub and the swimming pool. I'm older and it was too cold for me to get out.

The stay with Westgate Resorts was very nice. We were in a gated community. It wasn't anything where it had rowdy people, where fights would break out, or cars were broken into like when staying at a regular motel or hotel. It was very good there. Nobody bothered. People spoke. They had people there that had timeshare and people that were there for a couple of days, just like my wife and I. It was very good. I would go back there to stay. We enjoyed ourselves down there.
I tried some of the food that they had on the resort. At one of their delis, my wife got what was supposed to be a chicken salad. It didn't have onions and tomatoes. It was just lettuce. She just threw the strips of chicken on top of the lettuce. And it was $17 for the salad, which was garbage. The only other good thing that they had was the pizza.
The only negative thing that we had in the unit that we stayed in was we were on the bottom floor, where we had a Jacuzzi in the center of the room. Water dripped down on top of us through the ceiling, which is on somebody's nasty bathwater, and washed down whatever was in between those ceilings. But when that started happening, we were on our last day. We were checking out that morning anyway.

I've been using Westgate now for about seven years. I was looking for a room and they popped up with a deal and we took it and we've been using them ever since. As far as the resort, I like the peace and the quiet. The security is top-notch. My wife and I go there on our birthdays to decompress and relax and it's perfect for that because the rooms are fully-loaded. We can just go out and buy groceries. We don't have to go out a whole lot. It's very peaceful. It's very quiet. There were a very few incidents, if any.
The only thing that's cropped up, and there's really nothing Westgate can do about this, so I'm not blaming them, is just the marijuana smoke, and there's nothing you can do about that. It was just the laws are changing. You can't smoke in the room, so everybody smokes on the terrace. So, if you're trying to sit outside and enjoy yourself, sometimes you kinda either gotta deal with that or you gotta go inside. Other than that, the resort is very nice. I love the location. They've got a ton of pools, which is nice. They usually comp us to go into the water park. So, we do try to take advantage of that. We don't have kids, but we'll go just to watch everybody else have a good time. The restaurant they have on premises is very good. Overall, the amenities are very nice.
Their staff is aces. We have yet to run into anybody in that place that either doesn't have a smile on their face, doesn't greet you with a good morning or have a nice day. You can sometimes tell if a person had a bad day or if there's something going on in their life because sometimes they're just not pleasant for whatever reason. I've yet to run into that there. They are always pleasant. If you call with an issue, which there had been far and few between, they are very apologetic.

We hardly could figure out where the pool was and they didn't give us a lot of information about what was there. The pool was under construction. To get to it, you had to go through a construction area, so that wasn't very good. All I did was walk around and I didn't even get to go to the pool because we weren't there that long.

I like the activities, the community, and the amenities that Westgate offers. Making a reservation as well as the check-in and check-out were very smooth. However, I was encouraged to complete a timeshare and I was told that if I completed the timeshare I would have a late check-out when I left so I can have time to enjoy the resort. But that was not given so they did not extend my check-out time and I had to go to the front desk and explain to them what I was promised. It took 30 minutes of dealing with different people but eventually, I got the check-out time extended. I also took advantage of the game room, which was really nice, and some of their specialty shops. I ate at Draft and that was okay, then most of the time was spent at the Disney Park, so I was exhausted when I got back.
I would recommend my friends to go to a Westgate resort, but I would tell them not do a timeshare presentation despite any reward that they promise you. When I did that, I felt like I was harassed and they could not take no for an answer. They were trying to sell their products and they were very aggressive. And when you would say no, they'd get someone else to harass you. And when you'd say no to that person, they'd get a third person to harass you until you buy the product. And if you choose not to buy the product, they'd get upset and make sure they take 2 hours of your time. Other than that, I got a good deal from them. When I went on their website, it was quite easy to use, but I used to be a computer teacher, so I'm kind of tech savvy. If I didn't know what I was doing, it could have been a little challenging going from here to there and trying to figure out what I'm looking for.

Normally l like to end with the good, but in this case there's not much, so let's start with The Good... My wife and I stayed at Westgate Resorts in Gatlinburg between Oct 26 - Oct 30 and the Smoky. It's did not disappoint. It was beautiful, Cades Cove was spectacular. Oh, WestGate. The room was nice size, full kitchen, balcony. The views from the top of the property was excellent. We didn't eat at their restaurant but the food smelled good. They did have a free shuttle to take you into Gatlinburg, the wait was a bit long though.
The Bad... The reservation said the room had a DVD player, it did not. Just a hole in the wall under the T.V. We had to call maintenance because the refrigerator sounded like a bad engine trying to start. It never got fixed. All the air conditioning and heating units were right outside our bedroom windows. The hot tub at the top of the property was hot, but no jets. So it was a bit like taking a bath. Their bar at the same location, which was open, closed without notice for the rest of the season. Very disappointing. And now for...The Ugly...
On day two around sunset my wife and I were walking down the road on the way to the resorts market. We crossed the road in front of the security booth and a 10 seat golf cart stop sideways in the road. I noticed the the guy driving was looking over his shoulder. When my wife and I passed in front the dummy stepped on the gas and hit me in the leg. I slammed my hands on the front of the cart and he stopped. His response was "my bad". Which did not sit well with me and then his next comment was most people use the crosswalk, a simple apology would have taken care of everything. But he felt after hitting me, a "my bad" was a sufficient apology.
I went into the lodge, and stepped up to the front desk looking for a manager. His name was David. His response was "We can't make him apologize." and I'm busy." He then commented "you need to go back to the security booth and file a report, and locate his name". He wouldn't do it and would not send anyone down with me. Basically no apology from David as well and I had to do his job. The security booth pulled the video footage, found his name and saw the same thing I was reporting. I was told I should hear back with in 24-48 hrs. This never happened. 3 days later we left for home with a piece of paper with the report number and 4 names to call. I called one name "Keith S" no return call.
I called and did speak with Waldemar **. Both in the Department of Safety and Security. His response was just as bad. No apology, they can't make the driver apologize and said they will make the guy driving the golf cart take another course in driving after all the double talk Waldemer ended by saying they have done all they will and can do. Westgate should be ashamed of themselves. Lack of effort, and rude. Westgate Resorts is a joke at best, an unsafe place to stay. There are so many other choices to stay from 4 start hotels to cabins, B&B, camping. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Westgate. It's not worth it.

I also had a great time with Jeff, the manager. I told him how much I liked everything. I wanted to go to the water park, and they let me have an early check-in so I could go to the water park ‘cause I had to see my favorite band at Disney that night. They gave me a map, which I completely couldn't read, but they showed me where to go. There was also a morning person that was nice when I checked out.
They asked me to do the timeshare thing. A woman brought me over, and she asked me how long I was staying. I was only staying overnight and because they were not that crowded, they didn't have it the next day. I'm from Vegas and I know timeshares. I don't do them.

They never mentioned it and we thought that we can get the room cleaned every day. We didn't get the room cleaned at all during the whole six days that we stayed in. I wasn't too quite happy with that one. Other than that, I'd tell others that they should stay at Westgate. It's a nice place to stay and the best part was they had the shuttles where they take you to The Strip and to Fremont.

The rep, Ace, that booked my reservation, he got me a free upgrade through his supervisor, which was so awesome. He got me an early check-in at 12 noon. I told him that this is a one-nighter getaway for my niece and nephew that are 10 and 13 and, without me even asking, he put our room right close to the arcade and the indoor pool. When I checked in, Ace was actually there and he said he got us a free upgrade. We had a private Jacuzzi on your balcony. I was thanking him and he said to thank his supervisor. We loved sitting in that Jacuzzi. It was one of the first things that we did. He did all these extra things without me asking.
They got breakfast at the little deli place and the food was wonderful. Also, the indoor swimming pool was super-duper nice. We might not have even done the arcade and the indoor pool because the resort was so huge that if he wouldn't have thought to put our room close to it, we would have been walking around that whole huge resort trying to find the pool and the arcade. They offered us a free shuttle to take us to the downtown Main Street but we just kind of wanted to hang out at the resort.
I’ve stayed at Westgate before. I stayed at one in Orlando and the one thing that I really love that's different from other hotels is they have the washer dryers in most of the units. Most of the time, they also have the kitchen. For the same price as just a regular hotel room at a resort, you're getting a kitchen with a fridge, microwave and it's fully stocked with utensils and plates. I really love Westgate!
Hi Angela,
Thank you for the amazing review! We’re thrilled that Ace and his supervisor could help make your stay special with the thoughtful upgrade and convenient room location.

I booked Westgate through the Hotels.com. It looked like a beautiful property for the number of days that we needed it and it was a perfect location. My husband was going to the convention center for a FABTECH convention and it was only 10 minutes from there. The check-in and check-out process was very good and the girl was very nice. The food options were too pricey, though, so we went off property. Then, we went to go play putt-putt that they offer there and we have to get the golf clubs from the little marina thing where the little boats are, which was closed so we couldn't do that option, and it was expensive to do the bowling.
Also, I went to go to the wave pool and they wanted $25 per person for the wave pool and the lazy river. Part of the reason why I booked that property was that I could do that during the day while he was gone only to find out when he came back to the resort early, we were told it was $25 apiece. I wasn't gonna pay $50 to go into a swimming pool. I wasn't pleased with that. That should have been included with the part of the property that we were staying at, not an extra amenity.
The other thing that I had a complaint about, which they took care of at the front desk, they were charging $20 a day for a resort fee and they gave a little card with the resort fee included. It included toll-free phone calls and Wi-Fi. But who does not have a cellphone now and everybody has Wi-Fi on their phone so why am I paying for those? It had four or five things that you're paying for that make no sense whatsoever. I contested that in the time of check out and they did remove that. It didn't even include a bottle of water in the room. Even hotels that charge resort fee give you two free bottles of water. Other than those, the unit that we had was absolutely beautiful. We got the lakeside view, which was beautiful to watch sunsets. I would highly recommend it but people need to know before they go there that you're gonna pay $25 to get into the wave pool and it says bowling alley, but there's an enormous fee for that.
Hi Diana,

A timeshare is the best thing we've done in our lives. We aren't tied to go every year. We could also bank it and take it, at different times. But when we stay there, we go quarterly. When we stay for a long weekend, it would be a discounted rate because we're owners. Westgate Resorts is a perfect vacation spot. It's our home away from home. We live two hours away. We go there when we can on weekends. And we stay there on vacations. We pick up the phone if we had a concern or anything was wrong in the unit, and within minutes, there would be somebody knocking at our door. It's quick, friendly and clean. This has been our experience since 2002.
The restaurants are wonderful. The shopping there is good. The food store that they have on is more expensive, like a resort type prices on the food in the marketplace. But the restaurant is very reasonable and it's delicious. The help is number one. We have done everything that they always had for all the years. The water park is fantastic. We don't have to leave the property. As owners, we don't pay to have to go in. They have lockers.
Utah was the best vacation we've had. Smoky Mountain, Tennessee, was also amazing. We would look out and would be like on the cliff of a mountain, and looking down, it was extraordinary. There's one in New York City that they have. It's like a hotel. We were upgraded with that. It has been amazing. They are so helpful and nice. They don't expect anything from us. They were always surprised when we tipped them.

I was looking for places to stay in Pigeon Forge, and I looked at everything, and the prices were crazy. I've seen Wild Bear and we liked how it looked and the location. I even found something cheaper than Wild Bear, but they didn't look the safest, so I chose Wild Bear because I liked how it looks from the pictures and the reviews. Our experience at check-in was wonderful. We got there really late at night, and Brianna showed us how to get to the room and gave us the keys, and she told us about the restaurants and the gas station next door. So, it was awesome.
The accommodation was perfectly nice. I liked how there were extra towels there already. I liked how we didn't have to ask for anything, and I liked how clean everything was. The Westgate resort is a really nice place to stay. It's safe, it's clean, and the price is perfect for how the room would look like. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone that asked me to go to Pigeon Forge.

I was looking for a pet-friendly place to stay in Pigeon Forge. I've been to Pigeon Forge many, many times. I saw Westgate was redecorated. They bought it out from whoever the hotel was before. My husband and I and my little pet and my best friend and her husband and her little pet all decided to stay there. Doing the reservation was extremely simple and easy. There was a lot of explanations with all the offers and how to register for the rewards program.
I loved the new flooring. The beds are a little high, but that's fine. They were very comfortable. The bathroom had a little bit of maybe a urine smell, but it's pet-friendly. I totally understand. Totally understand. I always take Lysol spray with me everywhere I go anyway. Sprayed it in there and it was fine. It might have even been the bottom of the shower curtain that might have had a sour smell. Other than that, loved the room. It was 100% clean. I loved how spacious it was.

I saw Westgate online and I liked the way it looked. I work at Baptist Health so I booked it online and I got a discount through them. The check-in wasn't too bad but they didn't have our rooms ready when we first got there. We went to get our package tickets for shows and by the time we got ready to walk in, which was within 10 or 15 minutes, they had the room ready. The room was great. On the bar top though, there was a coffee spill that wasn't cleaned up. We've just been there so when they go in and see everything, and there’s nothing on there, they probably don't even clean it. There were also drippings of condiments down the cabinets.
My husband didn't want me to pack any food because he said I don't wanna cook on vacation. So, we got up on Sunday morning and he needed food to take with his medicine. So, I went to the store. The little six-pack of doughnuts was $3.49 apiece. So, that was a little extravagant. It was pricey up there at the store. But Westgate is a nice resort. It's pretty and I like that you have to go through security. It's not like being in a hotel where your car is just parked out there and anybody could break in. Also, the location is great. It's so close to the Strip and all the shows and shops.

Westgate was chosen by an event I went to. It was the first time I've ever been there. The people there were all very helpful and friendly. What surprised me first, right away, was it was a cashless place. I had brought extra cash for the event, but they only took debit cards or credit cards for everything. We got the smaller suite with just the coffee pot, the little refrigerator, and the little kitchenette thing. It had a sink and a microwave. If we would've known better, we would have gotten the upper room because it had two bedrooms, and they have a stove so you could prepare a meal there. There was just one bed in our suite. I shared that room with friend of mine. We had the king-size. We had plenty of room. Plus, there was a pull-out bed.
There was one event we had to cancel because of the weather. We didn't get to have the s'mores. We were gonna have a campfire and s'mores. We just had a meeting and all the different speakers and games. It was a lot of fun. The only thing is that they had ordered sandwiches from a different place, and we could not eat them in the building. We had to go outside to eat because we did not get them from Westgate. That was the only kind of disappointment. If the event is gonna be there next year, we plan to do that. The event was a woman's retreat.

My daughter goes to College of the Ozarks in Branson, Missouri and when I was looking for hotels at one point, Westgate popped up. I stay there because it's in a gated area. I stayed at a $160 hotel one time with my husband and my kids, and I could hear the guy next door beating his wife. So ever since then, I like the gated area a little bit better. I just feel more comfortable in there. Also, it's in the middle of Branson so you're close to everything.
We make our reservations with Westgate online and the process has been fine. It's also easy to get in and out of the hotel. But every time they ask if I want to listen to the presentation, I always say no. That kind of makes me feel a little guilty, but that's just their job. Other than that, I've been having a perfect experience with their employees. The rooms are very good and always clean. Once in a while, I can find a deal and I get one of the deluxe rooms which I love. I want to go to one every time, but it's hard to find those deals. In January and February, there are pretty good deals because Branson shuts down a lot of their shows. But on other times of the year, Westgate can be a little pricey depending on tourist time.

It used to be the Princess Anne and they refurbished it. Checking in is very easy because I usually give them all the information. And I pre-register or I give them the card number. So, all I do is go in then they say have everything and lets me sign the document.
We had one issue with the TV and the one guy who was out there tried to figure out. My husband wanted to watch a ball game, but they didn't have a package to get the ball game. And I tried to tell my husband that but their rep couldn't tell him. Other than that, they've always been helpful and very accommodating. They don't force you buy a timeshare when you're there and I love that. They just want to make your stay great.
I like the rooms over there. When we first started going, we would get one of the little cottages. But when we had our kids, we had to get bigger beds, so we ended up in the back section there with the two double queens. It's roomy and the beds are very comfortable, which is a big thing for me. It's a nice place to stay in because back there it's quiet and off the street. We never had anybody making a lot of noise. There's also a little porch where you can sit on and they always have a little glider chair sitting out there or we bring our own and sit out there.

There's a lazy river and three water slides.
My biggest problems with Westgate are checking in and receiving my deposit. With me reserving, my trust fund pays for it. I go there every year and has done it four times. They would tell me on the phone that I was good to go and that everything was paid fully. But every time I check in, they'd tell me they didn't receive the whole amount of the money. If I reserved five days, they would tell me I only paid for the first night. Then I had to stand there for an hour, waiting for it to get situated, calling and emailing each other back. My trust fund has to get on the phone with them. I was there last month on the 6th through the 9th of September and I just received my deposit back three days ago. They say it's 7 to 10 days but that was a whole month. Also, they call and offer me food and all these special gifts. But when they find out I'm a Florida resident, they tell me it's not for me.

I like the previous experiences I've had at this Westgate location. The location is also very convenient. The staff is usually always very helpful and friendly, and the room is always clean and organized. This last time, they advised us that there were renovations going on, and they put us into a non-renovated room, but they also advised us that they are planning on renovating all the rooms soon.

Their attitude has always been good. They've done everything that they can to get me where I wanna be. When I have specific requests, like when we were gonna go down at the end of October, they went out of their way to do it. Their location is very convenient for the things that we like to do. Overall, I've had a pleasant experience. They've been real low on doing the things that they had promised that they were gonna do. But it's my understanding that they've got a new owner. So that's a hope we have.

The check-in and check-out process was really smooth and easy. I was able to check in early, which was something that I like, because typically, other resorts and hotels don't allow that. My check-out process was the same as any other. Very smooth and quick. We used the pools. We went to three different pools. We used the fitness center too. We did the mini golf and we went to the game room as well. I would definitely come back. However, the traffic around the area puts you in a place where it takes you a little bit longer to get to the attractions. But it's really close. Also, we attempted to go to the water park that was on site. However, they had a lot of closings for some odd reason.

My husband and I were looking for a vacation to take our family and two years ago, we came down to Westgate with our granddaughter. We fell in love with it. It was a nice place. My son lives in Florida and we said we got a place that they are going to love. And we wound up going back there again. At the time that we were in Florida, something was going on with the airlines and we were stuck in the airport. And from there, we had to go to another hotel. When you are in a place where the villas are beautiful, where you have a large space and there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, we were spoiled. There were seven of us who went and we had no problem because we had two of the suites. The rooms were beautiful. It was amazing. We had to go to another hotel, which wasn’t bad but we were cramped. It was three of us in the room with our granddaughter. It's just not like Westgate.
The first time we went to Westgate two years ago, we just ordered out. We didn't get a chance to stay inside other than the park. We love the water park. It was the best and we just ate a lot of fast food and hamburgers because that’s what our granddaughter always wanna eat and so you eat a little bit of that. Then, we just ordered out. But this time was different because we went to Drafts about three times. It was a wonderful restaurant and the people who worked there were just bar none the best waiters and waitresses as we wound up knowing and meeting them. They were very friendly. The food was delicious. The ribs melt in your mouth. When we came back again the third time, we knew everybody. So, that was good.
After we left Drafts, we went to the game room and this time around, we had a splendid time. It might have been because we were there for seven days. The first time, we were only there for four days. So, we couldn't do much. But with seven days, we made sure that we were there early. So, we had a lot to do and that was good. We also went to the theme park but we couldn’t do that anymore. We love that everybody was very kind. Everybody treated us well. I came back and started telling everybody if they wanna go on a vacation, they need to go to Westgate because it's wonderful. The only problem with Westgate is it’s so big and there's still not enough parking space. We have two cars and we all have to shove in one car. Because there's no space and you have to keep driving around and sit in your car. Everybody was complaining about that part.
I recommend Westgate for anyone who wants to go on vacation with family. It's a family resort where you can bring your children. We didn't even do the paddle boat and the miniature golf. They have a lot of amenities that a lot of people don't take advantage of. But if they have little kids, that's a place where they could go. But most of them just stayed at the water park. That is like the icing on the cake. Because people don't have to go to a water park. We went to SeaWorld and that's 100 and something dollars per person. You sit there and watch the whales and be entertained, where you could spend $25 and be in the water park all day.
I love that Westgate has the lazy river. They’ve got an area just for little kids and an area for grown folks and kids. Then, they have another area for those who like the waves. We bought a vacation at Westgate as well. We didn't do the timeshare because we already had one but we did a seven-day vacation package because we gotta go back there again.

The only issue I had when I went there the last time on the 18th, on July, and the coffee pot was busted. It took maybe an hour, and you could tell somebody used that. It has to have the coffee grinds in it with the little pack. They came with another one. It was two hours later. They gave me a brand new one to put in there.
Hi Tiffany,

I like the program. The Italian restaurant is 10/10. But people smoked ** in the resort. It was not right. Also, the swimming was dirty and too crowded. They left their drink inside the pool. And an unsupervised child was there. The parents were too busy or drunk.
Hi Ibrahim,
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the program and rated our Italian restaurant a perfect 10/10.

My experience with Westgate was smooth. There was a situation where I'm a veteran and online, it had veteran rates that were higher than the prices that were showing on regular reservations. But other than that, everything else is cool. I also enjoy the food. They have good options too.

I had a reservation check-in. For the check-out, they said I could drop the keys off in the box. I dropped them off in the box at 9:30, got out of there, but nobody ever put my money back on my card. They took it all off my card and never put it back on there. I'm trying to figure out why. Every time I call, they connect me to this person, this person, that person. I know they got to see it because we left the room immaculate. We stripped all the beds, the sheets and all the towels together. The kitchen was clean. They said they were gonna refund it back once we checked out and it's been since July.

I wanted to take a family vacation and when I was looking at the Westgate and some of the properties like Myrtle Beach as well as Orlando, Myrtle Beach stood out to me the most as far as the Westgate property because of all the amusement things around there. So, it was very fascinating to have a great experience in Westgate. Check-in was great. The moment that I came in the door, I felt welcomed by one of the customer service reps. They guided me through everything at the process. They made it a simple process as far as their customer service skills. I was very delighted.
The accommodation was nice. We were able to have fresh beds and fresh towels. The only thing that I did have a problem with was the TV. When you have different channels that you try to type in on the controller, it wasn't going directly to that specific channels. It'll show it on the guide, but then it'll show two different types of guides. I would've liked to be able to type the number in just to watch a TV show. We had a TV guide within that booklet and we also had the TV guide on the TV screen. However, they told us to see what we can do with the TV but it still was doing the same thing.
I thought about going to one of the bar and grills that was on site. I ended up changing my mind. I went to a restaurant further down from the hotel and ate there. I was undecided on what I really wanted to eat. Overall, I had a fun experience. The front desk was amazing as far as educating you on things that you need to know, about different things outside of the hotel, and certain amusement parks based on discounts. You can still check with them and see what discounts they have. The hot tub and the beach were nice experiences. They were not hard to locate going to your room. Everything was explanatory.
Hi Demario,
Thank you for your detailed feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed your stay at our Myrtle Beach property and appreciated our customer service.

I liked Westgate Resorts' look. I came in a day early and they were able to combine two different ones, so I didn't have to switch rooms. That was nice. We had an issue with our room card not working. It kept resetting. But they were friendly. It was just a pain in the butt to have to reset it every day. There was just a swimming pool at the resort. And the restaurant there was nice. We ate there once. But there ware a ton of places within walking distance for food. I'd recommend Westgate.

Our experience with Westgate was great. We flew in so we enjoyed the airport that they have right there. The airport was awesome. They came right away, picked us up and took us to check-in. They were professional and knew what they were talking about. We did the airboat ride, the shooting and several different things there. Everything that we had time to do was fun and the people were good at what they did. The food options were good and the atmosphere of the place was nice. We went to the breakfast place and to the steakhouse, and both were very good. The teepees are unique. We stayed in one of them and and they were clean and nice. We have a bunch of friends that wanna do it now. The only negative is it irritates me when they won't take cash. They only take credit cards.

I've been to a lot of resorts and Westgate Resorts was the nicest one I've been to. Everything was lovely. The services and amenities were great. They had a lot of attractions right there on the property. So, we didn't have to go outside the property to enjoy. I was in the pool with my grandkids. Also, it the resort was on a good central location. Not far from Disney World and from the bowling alley. My grandkids went to the arcade after midnight. Everything was nice.
I appreciated the room. It was a nice king-size room with the Jacuzzi in the bedroom, and the walk-in shower, big screen TV on the living room. I had to help prepare some food. The kitchen had everything I needed. I stayed for three nights, but I could have stayed a couple more. Especially if it got everything that I could have at home. It's like being at home. The room I had was nicer than most people's homes.

My husband had wanted to stay at Westgate Resorts, but we don't own rights there. We own at another resort, so we did an exchange and we didn't pay that much to stay there. We got rained out at the last pool day, but other than that, we enjoyed everything. The check-in and check-out processes, as well as the customer service, were very good. Their food options were also good. We didn't get to do the fitness because we took our grandbabies, so everything we did was kid-friendly, but we had a good experience.
Our grandbabies loved the big water park. They got to play a little that day. We were more in the older version of it, but the updated remodeled one and the inside was perfect. The outside had a little hopscotch in between the villas, and I liked that the kids could leave out the patio and go right out there and play. My husband and I could sit there, watch them and drink our coffee, and they could do their little chalking. It was nice. We typically always vacation in resorts, and that part was a little different from our home resort. We liked it.

We had travel credits left from a trip that we didn't get to take, so we took our family on a trip to Westgate. We had three separate reservations, and the process went quick and easy. We had a great time and the resort was beautiful. One night, we ate down in the Southern Comfort and it was really good. My grandkids ate at some of the other places and the other options were good, too. The recreational activities were wonderful and the guy that drove the trolley was very helpful to my husband who is in a wheelchair. His name was Roy and he would come and pick us up then take us down or back up the hill. He was very pleasant and he told us about different things that we might want to try. Everybody was nice and we didn't have any problems at all.

I usually go to Westgate in Gatlinburg and the last time I went was in Myrtle Beach. We drove a while to the other ones and by the time we got there, they let us go in a little early. Recently, we flew out to Utah. I understand the check-in was at 4:00, so I called when we got there and they said they haven't cleaned the room yet, but they would clean it. They then told me to call back. So, we did and when we got there at 2 o'clock, the room still wasn't done. So, we just walked around the facility and everybody was nice.
At 10 till 4:00, I went back up to the check-in and asked if our room was ready. Their rep said not yet. But it was like they just wanted to make sure they got you in at exactly 4:00 and when the rep realized it was 10 to 4:00, he said okay, gave me the key, and all of a sudden, the room was ready. It was a little frustrating. In other places, they always let you go in sooner if things are ready. And at the time, we were tired. We traveled and we had to be at the airport at 6 o'clock. Also, when we went to the big half-in and half-out pool, it was really busy with families and kids, so we decided to go to the other pool. It was pretty nice, but the hot tub seemed green and moldy, so we didn't get in it.
Other than that, we liked the resort and we really enjoyed it. At the time, I dropped my car key down the elevator, but I didn't do on purpose. Three maintenance men came up. The manager, a new person who was training, and an experienced person. They were fantastic and I was so happy with them. They got my key back and they even went to a locksmith there to check the key out and gave it back to me. We might try their resort in Mesa, Arizona next time. But I would love to come back to Utah. I loved it so much.

I've been with Westgate for over 20 years. I chose them because of their location and their amenities. The best times I have is when all of our family is there, which they're able to accommodate. We always have a great time because everybody in the family is there, and the amenities are great. They have putt-putt golf and swan lake rides. They're always functioning, and everything's self-contained.
During the pandemic, the customer service was terrible, but that was the case with a lot of operations. They just didn't have enough staff. Outside of those couple of visits, it's been great. The last visit we had was in June, and the customer service was really good. Westgate also has food establishments, so if we wanna stay on site, we can really stay and have a great time. We've eaten at their restaurants. They've got three or four there, and we've never had a problem. It's always been good, including the service. We can go out and enjoy some of the restaurants outside as well. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Westgate to people.

We checked in at Westgate Resorts and everything was great. Everybody was very helpful and nice. They have that little area for the kids there. We have a new little grandbaby. He's a year and a half old. I said, “When Henry gets a bit older, we’re all gonna go down here. We’ll pay for everything.” Because they have a camper, too. They have these little go carts you can go on and there are pony rides you can go on all kinds of stuff. But there’s a big sign up there that says that they will add some huge outdoor waterpark coming Fall of 2025. So, if we go, maybe the following spring of 2026 or the fall of 2026, then our grandbaby would be 3.
At the rodeo, we got a couple little snack things. There was a food truck there and we cooked out some. There was a barbecue restaurant place down by the water and we ate there. We wanted to eat at the other restaurant, but they closed. They were only open for lunch or breakfast. They didn’t tell us that on check-in. So, we weren’t able to do that one. But what we ate at was great. We also went to the little ice cream place and had some ice cream. They also had a nice little liquor store and grocery. It was awesome. I couldn’t believe it.
The only thing that kind of scared us was the place is in the middle of nowhere. So, when we had 1/4 tank of gas on our RV, we were, “We should have filled up before we came in.” And if we had to run the generator, which we wouldn’t have to because we plugged in, we at least had a quarter of a tank gas in our RV for it to turn on. We just put another quarter tank in at the marina. They said, “You can get gas here.” It was $5 a gallon.
I never knew it was a timeshare because nobody approached us on that. It was never anything like that. We just made reservations, did our thing, camps, and did all our stuff that we reserved wanted to do, and it was awesome. Our weather was awesome there. We went the first week of May and Florida is hot to begin with. But it was good. We were gone for three weeks. We went all the way down to the Keys and came back up on the Gulf side, and it was so hot. But Westgate was cool at nights. We got a breeze. We loved it.

Two years ago, we went down to Westgate for a free two nights thing. We loved it so much. So, the last time we were there, we paid for it because we liked being at Westgate so much. We went up there. They got us the right room. The staff was great. Everybody was nice and friendly and with a good mood. We had fun. Food options are good. They had good ice cream, good food, and good coffee. It would probably be a good investment to buy just at the store. I like one of those hot dog rotisserie things. You could have some hot dogs and broads on there throughout the day. So, that way, people had different choices instead of just pizza.
The resort's location is very convenient. It was right down the street, and we loved it. With how everything is crazy, it could always be nicer to be cheaper but for what you get, it's a fair and good price. As far as recreational activities, we did the aquarium, the Promised Land Zoo and Ripley's Believe It or Not!
