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.
Hi Stephen,
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed our exceptional customer service, seamless check-in, and incredible accommodations. It’s great to hear the upgraded room, ski valet, and dining options enhanced your stay. Park City truly offers a fantastic experience, and we’re delighted you made the most of it. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable visit!

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.
Hi Carol,
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed our location, convenient tram, excellent service, and gluten-free options at the Italian restaurant. We apologize for your experience at the shop and will address your concerns. It’s wonderful to hear you’re considering a return next year, and we look forward to welcoming you back!

My stay at Westgate Resorts was quite satisfactory. I needed to stay there because of an event with the Pop Warner football league.
The check-in and check-out processes were nice and smooth. The food at the bar was enjoyable, which was a pleasant surprise.
The resort was very clean. However, the elevators moved quite slowly, which was a minor inconvenience. Besides that, I have no complaints. Overall, I would recommend Westgate Resorts.
Hi Clint,

I recently stayed at Westgate Resort while my husband was in the hospital at Sunrise. Although my visit was brief, I found the accommodations to be very nice.

I visited Westgate years ago with my family, but this time, I was there for a cheer competition. The check-in process was easy; the staff were courteous and did their job. During my stay, I enjoyed a great room, which was like a small suite with a bed and a little refrigerator, perfect for my daughter and me.
We didn't have the chance to sample much of the on-site food besides grabbing Starbucks one day, as we were mostly out and about. Overall, the property had a lot to offer. It was clean and comfortable to stay in, so I would definitely recommend my friends and family to go there.

I recently stayed at Westgate Resorts in Kissimmee, having previously visited their Orlando location. My check-in and check-out experience was smooth, with only a short wait time of about 10 minutes. I really enjoyed the property overall. Although I didn't participate in the swimming activities, I engaged in other enjoyable experiences.
During my stay, I dined at the Mexican restaurant and another spot in front with the games. The food at both places was very good, and next time I plan to explore the rest of the dining options. The resort's website was easy to navigate and I’m glad they're on the phone. Overall, my experience was very positive, and I would definitely recommend Westgate Resorts to a friend.

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.
Overall, I would rate my experience 5 stars, as I plan to return in the summertime when the weather is better. The service and security contributed greatly to the value of my stay, making it a place I'd happily recommend to friends.
Hi Freddie,
Thank you for your detailed review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay, from the jacuzzi and resort activities to the convenient shuttle and attentive staff.

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. However, when I first arrived, the air conditioning in my room wasn't working, which was inconvenient. 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. While it was a bit frustrating, security eventually came to assist. I would suggest the resort revise this policy and perhaps allow guests to return keys at the front desk instead to avoid such issues.
Overall, despite the few bumps, my experience was positive, and I'd rate my stay at Westgate Resorts as 4 out of 5 stars.
Hi Tamaria,
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the Jacuzzi tub and recreational options during your staycation. We apologize for the inconvenience with the air conditioning and check-out process but are happy to hear our staff was able to assist quickly. Your feedback on key returns is appreciated.

I stayed at Westgate Resorts, mainly because of their competitive rates and the absence of parking fees, which was important since we had two cars. The check-in and check-out process was smooth, and we found the room and amenities satisfactory. The location was convenient for our needs.
However, while planning another visit, I noted that the rates had escalated significantly, reaching up to $800 per night, which I found unreasonably high. Despite this, during our stay, even though there was some remodeling happening, it didn't interfere with our convenience. We appreciated being able to grab coffee early in the morning before our departure. Overall, I was quite satisfied with the experience and would rate it a 4 out of 5.
Hi Russell,

I stayed at Westgate Resorts for a couple of nights. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and without any issues, just like a regular hotel experience. I found Westgate through the internet and chose it as it seemed like a suitable option.
We were mainly there to see the Christmas lights in the area, although I didn't notice if the resort itself had any Christmas decorations or a tree.
Our accommodation was in the cabins, which were clean and comfortable. Overall, my experience with Westgate Resorts was excellent. If a friend asked, I would tell them it was a good stay, mainly due to the cleanliness and comfort of the cabins.
In terms of customer service, quality, and the value for money, I would rate my experience as excellent and would recommend Westgate to friends. Additionally, their website was user-friendly, which added to the positive experience.

We stayed at Westgate Resorts because they offered a complimentary military weekend. Initially, one of the rooms smelled quite moldy, and the shower wasn't working. However, the staff responded to our complaint efficiently by switching our room, and the rest of the stay was pleasant. The customer service was excellent; all the staff members were very kind. The only area that could use some improvement is the parking situation near the check-in area. Overall, I would rate my experience as very satisfactory.

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. As a result, I didn't take advantage of on-site dining or activities and found myself exploring options outside the resort.
One issue I encountered was with housekeeping. We realized the bathroom hadn't been serviced upon arrival, and there were dirty wash rags hanging in the shower. I ended up cleaning it myself, which was disappointing. However, this was the first time I've encountered such an issue during my stays with Westgate, and overall, I still find their larger resorts to be great.
I would recommend Westgate Resorts overall, although the location I recently visited wasn't as impressive. I would rate this specific visit a 3 out of 5.

We did everything online. Westgate Resorts confirmed everything online. But when we got to there, they said it was too late for us to check in. We had to go down the street to the next one and they found our reservation. They transferred us. It was amazing. They were helpful. The food was good. I like that they have a shuttle too.

The check-in and check-out processes at Westgate were smooth. The room met our expectations; however, the thin walls made it challenging to deal with noisy neighbors for a couple of nights, affecting our sleep.

I recently stayed at Westgate Resorts in November, and it was a fantastic experience. We booked our reservation about six months in advance.

I chose Westgate Resorts because it was conveniently located close to where we wanted to be, and the price was reasonable. The room was large, more like a suite, which was a plus.

My recent stay at the Wild Bear Inn, part of Westgate Resorts, was satisfactory. We chose it primarily due to its convenient location. The reservation, check-in, and check-out processes went smoothly without any issues.
As for dining options, there was a restaurant on-site, but having dined there before, we chose not to eat there during this visit. I'm not certain about the availability of recreational amenities like pools or fitness centers, as the weather was too cold for us to explore those options.
One notable issue was the bed height in our initial room, which was around 3.5 feet high. It was difficult for my wife, who is 4'9", to get into bed without assistance. Fortunately, after raising the concern, the staff moved us to a room with a standard-height bed the following day. I believe providing step stools would be beneficial for such situations.
Overall, I would rate our experience at the Wild Bear Inn a 3 out of 5. While it's labeled under Westgate Resorts, it felt more like a standard motel rather than a resort experience I've had elsewhere.

The check-in and check-out process was pretty quick and easy. When we got to the resort, the gate guard was nice and friendly, but she did not give good directions at all. 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. She should have sent you over here.” Other than that, it was very good. Everyone at the front desk the whole time was very friendly. The resort is pricey, but there's a lot to do and it's really pretty.
We ate at the coffee and donut shop and it was good. We also got pizza and it was good too. We did the airboat ride, which was great. We did the rodeo, which was really fun. The saloon and the line dancing were great. We were really happy that it was family-friendly. We also did archery. 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.

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.

I enjoyed my 1 week vacay in Myrtle Beach. It was quiet and peaceful. Staff-Manager, Teresa, helped us out when we needed to extend our check out time on our last day and she did it with a smile. Deborah, in-house sales, was funny and informative. Kudos to the Starbucks crew, delightful! Overall, friendly staff. Rooms-nice waterfront view in bldg 1000. Everything that you need in a kitchen was provided. The only complaints -unpleasant smell coming from bathroom drain & the rug in living room could have been cleaned. Overall, enjoyable stay and we would visit again! But for the 2 negatives mentioned, I would have rated venue a 5 stars.
Hi Valrose,

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.

Checking in was quick and the staff was courteous. We had one main room with the bigger bathroom, bedroom, living room, and kitchen. It was very nice. Then we had the adjoining room that had a bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen and dining area. It was very clean. Westgate is a good place and we enjoyed our stay there.

Everything about the whole trip was perfect, from the time that I booked the resort to the time I got finished and drove out the gate. Everything was so simple. 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. But as far as my room goes and the booking experience and the little grocery store that was there, everything was perfect. The girl that checked me in, the guy that gave me my parking deal, and the little girl at the grocery store were all really friendly. The next time I come, I'll definitely stay there again, but only this time I may take a cabin. Where I stayed at was in a little section called Building 1, and it was so quiet. It was great.

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 stayed at Westgate before so I know about it. It’s a very nice resort and the location is great. I was working at the convention center so it was perfect. It wasn't right in the middle of everything but it wasn't far. The reservation and the check-in and check-out process were very simple and easy. Everybody was very friendly and for a female single traveler, I felt extremely safe. They originally gave me one room but since I was traveling alone, I asked if they could move me up closer and they did without a problem. They were very accommodating. The girls who checked me in were amazing and the guys on the golf carts were helpful. I love everything about Westgate.

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.

The location was very convenient. It was only 15 minutes away from the field. I also liked that there was not a lot of traffic there.

The check-in and check-out process at Westgate was easy. I was hoping to pay extra and get a room with two bedrooms like a condo, but they said they didn't have that available. I also ate outside. I didn't know they had a place to eat there. That was the one bad thing. They didn't tell us anything about the resort. We walked around and looked. 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 wasn't impressed with the concierge. But the rest of the staff was pretty good. Plus the location of the resort was very convenient. We also got a really good price on it.

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.

He showed me that I had to push it up instead of pushing it down. Then I met Margarita who's a supervisor. She gave me a ride someplace. Oscar gave me a ride to my car too. 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.

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!

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.

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.

We've been going to Williamsburg for 40 years. We go every year and we're planning on going down in December for a few days and staying there. But we always stay over in the hotel part. 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.

We went to Westgate when they had a deal on the amusement park. In the beginning, it was a little difficult with the check-in, but it was okay. The food options are expensive though. We ended up doing a mixture of going outside of the resort and purchasing food and cooking our food. It would be good if they would have more food option on the premises.
Hi Mary,
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed your stay and took advantage of the amusement park deal. We appreciate your patience with the check-in process and your comments on the food options. We'll take your suggestion for more on-site dining into consideration.

We had a conference at Westgate and everything was fantastic. Everybody I encountered was very helpful and pleasant. The room was great. Most of the food was pre-chosen by our conference director, and it was good as well. The only thing I found a little bit off was the lack of oxygen because of such a hike and I'm used to being closer to sea level than up in the mountains.

We found a deal online and went down to the Branson location. The staff was very friendly. They showed us everything we needed to know. But they didn't have very much food options in the morning so we went out to eat. Also, we paid for the internet but there was a big storm down that blew it out. It didn't work and we have a teenager, so he was not happy about it. But Westgate reimbursed us. That was our first time there and we would go back.

We like that Westgate is in a good location, away from everybody. It's also a whole lot easier with them than when we go to Vegas or Mexico. It was in and out. The room was gorgeous. It's rustic-looking, but modern. We went to one of the smaller pools in the resort at the back. It was clean and had plenty of seating. It was tucked away, quiet, and had plenty of towels. We also ate at the pizza place which was all they had open at the time but it was better than Domino's or any of the other pizza places.

My experience with Westgate was really nice. Everything was up to par for me - the stay, the customer service. I like the amenities that they have - the restaurant and the pool. 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 cousin owns a timeshare with Westgate. We went and when we got there, everyone was so welcoming. The gentleman that was outside helped us take our luggage out of the car. We got inside and checked in with no problem, then they helped us to our room. It was amazing. We were in one bedroom and I tried to book another night, but we had to move to a studio unit, which is a smaller room. We got to experience both of the rooms. Everything was clean and when we needed linen, they were very helpful. They brought it up to the room.
The food options were very good as well. They had a coffee shop and a restaurant with different foods inside of it. We were able to order. My children loved the burgers and the fries from the restaurant. It was an overall amazing experience. They did not even wanna go home. That was our first time bringing my family to experience those.

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.

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.

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.

I came for a personal business in Orlando and I stayed at Westgate. Their service was very good and everything went well. From my room, I could see a lot of people enjoying themselves at the resort. The room was also very nice and there were some upgrades from the last time I was there. The last time I went there, they needed to change the carpet. And now, they're putting hardwood flooring and I was in one of the upgraded rooms.

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!

Westgate Resorts was beautiful inside and outside. It was clean. It was dog-friendly, which was helpful because we have a little dog. The rooms were very spacious. We had a suite, and it was gorgeous. Oceanfront, open concept. You walk in the kitchen, the living room, and the bedroom was over to the other side. Also, the people were very friendly, polite, organized and attentive.
The only issue we had was when we walked in, there was water from the refrigerator, but they sent one up right away to tend to that. We had left the room, but they communicated through a text message that they would send someone up to deal with that. I told them I had already put towels down to clean it up to absorb the water, but if they could send someone up to see, make sure that that wouldn't be a continual problem, I would appreciate it. And they did, and they left more towels sitting on the counter for us. They took care of the problem and cleaned up the wet towels, and left me with more towels, which was great.
The only drawback was they have a place on the premises. There are three towers. The food options were a place in one of the other towers. It was a bar and grill, and there's a pizza place. There wasn't a huge option for amenities. But outside of that, we enjoyed our stay. We just had to keep going across the street to use Friendly's for breakfast, or we would stroll to find a place to eat because we weren't aware of the other place until we were getting ready to leave. But as far as cleanliness and customer service and location, it was great. The cost was good and the room was nice.
My only experience prior to that had been down the road at another location where you couldn't walk across the floor because the carpet was damp all the time, left our feet black, and the service was awful. Couldn't get blankets. But this location, we were happy. We would pay again to stay there, without question, because we enjoyed our stay there. It was a very nice resort.
When I stayed there, I sent my family pictures and showed them our room, our location, the inside of the lobby, everything. It's clean and the people are polite and attentive. We didn't wanna have to feel like a burden when we put in a request for something or asking for anything. They never made me feel like that at Westgate. We don't wanna go on a vacation and have to feel we were just another number. They didn't make us feel like that. I told my daughter, “This has been great. Our stay is great.” It was an amazing stay.

I liked the amenities that Westgate had to offer. It had a lot of different amenities. Primarily, the pool was a big thing we took advantage of when we did our stay. We didn't stay there long enough to enjoy everything, but they had crafts. They had horseshoe pits. They had volleyball net. If you were going to be there especially with a family, they had a little miniature golf. It would have turned out really nice for a bigger family and if we were there longer. There wasn't any place to eat on site, but there were some local restaurants that weren't that far away. And they did have some rooms with balcony. That was what geared us over there.
As far as customer service, we were treated with a lot of respect in the lobby. The receptionist was very knowledgeable, and we liked it all the way around. We stay at hotels quite often.

My husband and I were talking about going to Dude Ranch and how that was on my bucket list. The reservation process with Westgate was wonderful. The Dude Ranch was very close to the house. The different food options and the amenities were fantastic. The only thing I was disappointed in was the whole time-share thing. We were like, "Okay, this sounds fantastic. We need to go ahead and do that." And then we came home and realized that funds needed to be moved around out of CDs that don't mature until late this year and late next year. So, we needed to retract our offer, and the rep said that we had a 10-day rescission, and they didn't give me all my money back. They told me, "That's fine, don't worry about it."
I have a family vacation planned for next year and they told me, "Well, for $1,900, we'll rent you exactly what you were gonna buy. We'll send you a certificate for that and all the paperwork for that. And you just pay the $1,900. Then you can find out when your kids can go and we'll get you booked." That never happened and nobody returned any of my phone calls. I gave up. I tried too many times. There are other places I can take the kids for a family vacation. It doesn't have to be there. I just really liked the facility. Other than that, I've recommended Westgate to tons of people.

We purchased at Westgate Smoky Mountains about 20 years ago. We were very happy for many years. But about 11 years ago, we took our daughter and 2 young grandchildren with us. They talked us into doing the tour, which meant (unbeknownst to us) that we would be taken back to where they would try to sell us a bigger unit. We told them upfront we were happy with our unit and did not want to purchase anything else. We also told them that our daughter and grandchildren were waiting on us at the waterpark. They said they had to get a manager just to get us to sign that we didn't want anything else. The manager came and wouldn't give us the papers until he gave his spill and just kept talking. I finally just got up and walked out. We only went back a couple of times over the next several years and exchanged the other years through Interval International.
We did go back a few years ago, and I told the concierge that took us to our room that we did not want to do the tour. He was really nice and said they just wanted opinions of owners on their newest rooms, and he promised that we could just sign the papers that we didn't want to purchase anything else. Well, he lied. And he brought in Matt, that also lied and wouldn't let us go. And I know he lied because I had met Amanda (whose mother was an original higher up in the company and now Amanda was a higher up) on a cruise. I had told her about my previous experience and asked a lot of questions. She said that should never have happened. So, I knew things Matt was telling me was a lie and I told him so.
Well, I had also asked our concierge earlier if we could change rooms because people above us sounded like they kept rearranging furniture and running and who knows what until about midnight, then started again about 7:00 in the morning. He said they would see about it at that meeting. After I made it clear that we were not going to buy anything bigger, Matt told me that they could not be changing our room because what if I complained about the next one. If I could give them our room back (since they don't seem to appreciate owners of the smaller units that purchased in the very beginning with them), I would give it back. But of course, they don't let you and if you quit paying the maintenance fees, they will turn it in on your credit report. And we don't want to mess up our 830 credit scores. I love the area, and I love the room we have, but I can't tolerate them not listening to us and lying to us.

I was there for 7 days at Wild Bear in Tennessee. When l got there my room was ready. The only problem I had at that time was the room had nowhere that l could eat at. Later on during the week l had housekeeping cleaning my room. I did not pay attention to my cleaning clothes l bought with me until that Friday. That’s when l discovered my clothes were gone. House keeping had stolen my clothes. I was very upset. They did the proper things but that’s not the point. They stole my clothes. If you stay there make sure you check your clothes every day. The rooms were clean. They just have thieves as housekeepers.

I like the Westgate brand and I like the properties. The customer service is always great. As soon as you walk in the door, they greet with a smile and they make sure they’re attentive and that you have everything that you may need on the property. If you need something, you can just pick up the phone and call them and they'll provide it for you. Usually, we go to the pool or we'll go to the little water lagoons. I walk through and see all the amenities that they have on their properties, because each property has different stuff. But being a Floridian, I get a lot of $99 packages, but I can never take advantage of them because I know there's a time share walk-through or preview involved. That's the only thing that I do not like about that. But other than that, the pricing is fine.

We like Westgate Resorts' affordability and that it is family-friendly. Our kids did the water park, the mini golf and the activity center. We did the arcade and the movie theater as well. We had a wonderful time. The staff was also wonderful and the food was excellent.

The reservation process was real quick and easy. I called them and it was a good two hours that we sat on the phone going over different prices and rooms. She was helpful. It's a nice place that Westgate got going on down there. The food was good. The pools were beautiful. The shipwreck was good. It was nice.
