It was my birthday, and when I was online, I saw Westgate and Williamsburg is so nice. It is clean. I stayed there before. I just needed to get away, and I had a good time. There was no problem checking in. The staff was good. They had good customer service skills. They made sure they explained where everything was at. You had to ask no questions because they already answered everything. I already told everybody Westgate was nice and I enjoyed myself. The outside was clean. The inside was clean. There was no problem, and that's the stuff that I look at and I like.

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.

Thank you for sharing your detailed experience with us!

Westgate Resort was pretty accommodating for my son as far as the pool and the basketball court. Checking in was very smooth and easy. It was very informative. Also, the young lady that helped me out at the front gave me a lot of pointers as far as the attractions that was near and what all the hotel had to offer. The room was actually perfect. It was better than what I saw on the photo. Although the pictures were beautiful, it doesn't justify what it looks like when you go there. But it was very spacious and clean. I really liked it.
They had a late night delivery for room service that they had. They had a lot of good options and they also had a sports bar that were in there. We did utilize that to get food from there. So that was pretty good as far as option-wise. The breakfast was really good too. They have a game room that was really good and we played the paddle board game. So it was a lot of good activities for kids. It was a good experience.
It is one of the best places to stay, especially if you have a large family or just a place that you wanna go to to relax and be comfortable because the rooms are really set up like a little mini apartment. It's very accommodating, especially for people that would wanna enjoy and cook meals for their family and be comfortable while they're on vacation. I would definitely highly recommend it.

The check-in was okay and the check-out was uneventful. We left early in the morning. I wanted to pay in cash and they struggled with that a little bit, but they made it happen. The variety and the quality of the food options were both great. The location of the resort was fine because it was all-inclusive. There was everything we needed there. So there was no real reason to leave. We used the pool, and we did the thing that you pay for and the kids can go in and ride little things. We also did the petting zoo and the swamp buggy tour. It was the best vacation we've ever had. The kids and the adults loved it. I noticed all the other resorts that Westgate has and I definitely plan to check out some of them.

We did a vacation deal year before last and we went up to Westgate and listened to one of their presentations. We got to see a bunch of shows in Branson and all that good stuff and we enjoyed our trip. So we decided to go with Westgate. I just call up there and if we're not staying for a full week, we can stay at the hotel that's on the premises. You tell them what you want and they reserve it for you and you just show up. Westgate had a little store with food that you could order but I didn't see a whole lot of food options. It was nothing that I was interested in.
Westgate tore up the mini golf course and they're putting in a little bowling alley. They're making quite a few changes. They had little hiking deals that we enjoyed and a lot of amenities but we didn't participate in a lot of it. They had a swimming pool and if we decide to take the grandkids up there, they had different things at different days of the week for the kids to do like scavenger hunts. I was pleased with it.
Hi David,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled that you enjoyed your stay, the shows in Branson, and our variety of amenities.

My family goes to Westgate Resorts all the time. We spent my dad's birthday there and we had a great time. So, we always have great experience there. The food is good. Location is perfect. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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! Our daughter is 20 months old now, so next summer when we go back, we're gonna be doing all the little kids stuff where the kids run around and do all that.

My check-in experience at Westgate was fine. The guy on the desk was busy. It seemed short-staffed at the front desk. But, it was okay. The room was beautiful. We were only there for one night. But if I had an opportunity to spend more time there, I would certainly get that room again. However, they should sell sunscreen in the lobby. They used to and they don't anymore.

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. The girl who helped us at the desk acted very professionally and she was easy to talk to. Once in a while, I'll get somebody that's not that easy, but she was very polite. We made our reservation. They set us right up. In the future we would definitely consider using them again for a stay. They're on our list. For the price, they were right on.

When we checked in, Westgate had everything ready. It was very easy. We were a group of 10 and they took us straight to our teepees. The food and restaurant selections worked for us but it wasn't over the top. They had a nice steak restaurant, a to-go window for pizza, a little ice cream shop, and a smokehouse grill where you order things then you take it to your table. But the teepees are 100% amazing. There was a full bathroom, full shower, and even a bidet. The bedding was deluxe - very comfortable and clean. Two people stayed in each teepee and all of us have not stopped raving about it yet.

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 like the Westgate brand and I like the properties. The customer service is always great.

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.

Westgate Resorts was a great value and had everything that we needed. It looked to be the best deal pricewise for what was offered in the location that I needed. Checking-in was quick and easy. Standard hotel check-in, waiting at the registration desk, swipe in a credit card and given our information, and told us after that, go meet with the concierge at that desk. That way they could direct us to where we needed to go since it was a big place. All of my staff interactions were great. Great customer service, very responsive to everything. The room was perfect for what we needed. The furnishings were a bit dated, but that's not something that I was there for. Also, the on-site restaurant was very good. They had great, upscale bar food. That was the only place we ate at.

I love everything about Westgate Resorts. I love how clean the rooms are, the beds, how everything is so convenient, so close from Disney. The price is excellent for the quality of the rooms. It's very good. A new lady that they have who work the night time shift is excellent. She went up far from her job to help me, make sure that my stay was pleasant. I got sick. I ate something. And she was on top of that. She was awesome help. It's great for the resort. Everything was okay with my staying there.
I like the pools. If I would change something, I would have the little cars in the front, those that drive you around the resorts in case the people want to go back in the other resorts in the back. Because I went in the back by in the big bus, in the big bus. So it's more convenient. I live in Jersey and we're looking for warm. We wanna feel the weather.

Everything was smooth and the only thing was when I was checking out, the door closed and I wasn’t able to use the key. So, I had to go to the desk. But the staff was helpful. Westgate could have a dine-in instead of having to-go. That would make things easier. It would have been cool too if the pool opens until 12:00 because of the weather and the time of the sunset.

I stayed at a Westgate resort before in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and it was very nice. Then, on the trip that I took back in April of this year, the group that I went with picked the Westgate in Tennessee. The lady who checked me in was very knowledgeable and she let me know of the amenities that the resort had. It was a quick process. Everybody was very friendly and the room was pretty nice. It was clean and the size was awesome for the three of us. We ate at the restaurant there and the food was good.
We did the water park and I don't really like water parks, but I enjoyed it. We came as a group and we were supposed to all be together, but everybody was late booking their rooms and when two of our members were somewhere else, they offered to drive us up on the golf cart in order for us to get there. So that was cool. I told everybody that they should go to that resort.

Westgate is great. I choose them because of the rooms and the style in which the facilities are set up. There are outdoor activities for the kids. It's family-oriented.

They have a lot of stores there as well, like Walmart and food stores. So it's real convenient for people who are traveling with family and kids. When I used to stay there before, there was the transportation to the park. But that has since gone away since COVID. The transportation was convenient for the people that are staying there.

The staff at the first Westgate resort we went to were very friendly. It was the one here in Florida, the River Ranch, and it was phenomenal. I live a lot of months here in Florida and I never knew about the place. The food could be improved a little bit. The steakhouse that they had was closed really early and it wasn't open on Sunday. So, that was bombing.
A lot of the activities in the resort were really good, although the time to do them or to reserve them was very limited. For instance, we couldn't do the hayride with the dinner included because I had to reserve by 2 o'clock, but I couldn't check in until 4:00. Other than that, the rodeo was really nice as far as the show was concerned. But the bull riders were a little pathetic. It was fun to watch, but I've been to better. Also, I didn't really see places to go out outside the River Ranch. It's pretty far out where there's really nothing attractive to do around. But the place itself had a great ambiance. It was very calming, so you really didn't need to go out. All the activities were before 5 o'clock or before 4 o'clock, which was okay. After that, then you just chill out and rest, which was what we were looking for. But if you're more of a party animal, there's really not much after 5 o'clock to do.

We did the adventure park and it was age-appropriate for younger kids. But my kids are 12 and 13 so they're outgrowing a lot of the things that they have there. Since we were frugal and ran a budget, I didn't have my kids doing all the other things that Westagte had that was ala carte that costed money. There was the shooting and the disks in the sky, but they were too young for that. We didn't do the air bow. It was about $45 a person. We didn't do the horseback riding. That was a lot.
We were only there for two nights. But what we had and what we did worked perfect for us. It was great. We were very happy. If I had a problem, the staff was good. The only thing was that they said our firepit was gonna be lit on a certain time but it wasn't the first night. Then I called the next day and they did have somebody come out and light it earlier. But besides that, everything else was great. It was really a nice, refreshing getaway. It was perfect weather for us. They said they're building on to do more treehouses but that's a little bougie for us. The camping thing really seemed to work and we really, really enjoyed that.

I was told a couple of things and when I got there, it was told to me that that wasn't the case. I was disappointed with the service. Also, when I was there during spring break, there was only one restaurant open and a general store where you could get stuff. But the pizza place was closed and there was a saloon that they didn't open. There weren't a lot of places to eat there, that were open anyway, and a lot of the parents were wondering why. The facility itself was beautifully taken care of. They had plenty of things to do for my son and we had a great time. But I would tell others to be sure of which part of the resort they actually are staying at and just get a real clear picture of that so that when they get there, they're not disappointed.
Hi Shannon,
We apologize for the inconvenience during your check-in and the limited dining options during your stay. We're glad you enjoyed the facility and activities for your son. We'll work on improving communication and dining availability. Thank you for your feedback.

It's convenient to go to Westgate Resorts. During the reservation and check-in, the lines were a little long, but they were pretty efficient once you got through the line. We stayed there for two weeks and the weather wasn't the greatest, but we got to go use the pool and I enjoyed most of the amenities. We liked the putt-putt, too. But they didn't have any fishing boats ready you could go out on. Despite that, we had a good time and the room was nice. The people were also very kind to us.

I went to Westgate for one night, and check-in went smooth. The only thing is I asked specifically if the room I booked has some mirrors behind the bed, and the cashier over there said, “Yeah. That building, the rooms are like that.” When I went all the way to the back, there were no mirrors in the bedroom. I texted the text system and they said to go back to the front, but I was already tired. I thought, “You know what? I'm not gonna deal with that.” The room wasn't the one I expected, but it was good.

Westgate Resorts was convenient and we can't wait to go back. I had gotten the room off Priceline, and they told me that the room that I had reserved originally on Priceline wasn't available, so they upgraded the room without charging me. There was a long line at check-in, but it was 12 o'clock almost whenever we got there, so there was a lot of shuttles arriving from the airport. Everything was so fast and everybody was very nice. They were doing renovations at the time but everything was clean. They came and took the trash. We had soap and everything to wash our clothes. We didn't even wanna wash our clothes, but we ended up washing our clothes because the stuff was there. We had pizza and sandwiches at the mall strip. We had drinks at the bar too. We were satisfied even with the prices. We were expecting it to be super expensive.

I enjoyed my time at Westgate Resorts. I was there for my graduation at Full Sail University. The staff members were very nice and helpful. There were no waits. There were available staff to help out, to move the line along. It was quick. Even with the return of the holding fees funds, I got that back quickly too. The property was beautiful. I enjoyed my walks there. I spent some time at the pool which was also nice and very kid-friendly. I was very comfortable.
Disney World was not too far. The location was very convenient to other stores. The room came with a kitchen and there's a Walmart right down the street. If you're into walking, you can definitely walk from the suite to the Walmart. If you wanted to catch an Uber, it shouldn't be no more than six bucks because of how close it is. There is also a 7-Eleven. Whatever you needed, it was right there in the area. I recommended Westgate Resorts to a friend that was talking about staying down Miami. She inquired about where I stayed when I was in Florida. I told her Miami is about three hours away, but it's definitely worth staying there especially if they wanna travel to see other things.

When I checked in, I had a new person surrounded by a bunch of other new people, so it took a little bit of time. But it wasn't an extended amount of time and it was fine. The resort staff were very attentive and even the ones I wasn't directly dealing with were friendly. They were going out of their way to acknowledge me and see if there was anything they could do for me. I wanted to go to the heated poolside bar, but it was closed for the winter. So, that's understandable. Most of the outdoor stuff was closed too. I would recommend Westgate Resorts to people who like to do the condo thing. It was very clean, nice and in a good location to everything else. I have a favorable opinion of it.

The Westgate unit we have, which is one of our older units, has been in our family for 35 years. I inherited it from my mother. We used to go out as kids and pick oranges in the grove. The one thing we noticed that changed was that check-in was much quicker and easier now. That was really nice because we've had times when we had hours waiting to check in. The only thing is, we've been going down there all the time, and we didn't realize they had a dog park. So, they could have some more dog park signs but it was nice to learn they had a dog park.
As far as the room, they had an update. The accommodations were wonderful. Everything that we needed was there. It was very clean, and they were great at bringing more towels because we extended our stay. We took advantage of almost all the restaurants that were right on site. The Mexican was not my favorite.

We stayed at Westgate Resorts before and enjoyed it. The lady was well-mannered. But they had way too much cinnamon in the air. I'm allergic to cinnamon. I told them about it and, “Can't do much about it.” Also, the beds were too high. I had to jump up to get on them. I'm 6’ 4” and my wife is 5 foot. I had to build a pedestal out of her luggage so she could step on it to get up on the bed. They were way up in the air. I felt like I was on the top of a bunk bed. Also, they could use a bigger TV.

We were looking for a glamping trip and Westgate was close by. The check-in process was simplistic. We texted them and let them know when we were gonna be there within an hour of arrival. And then when we got there, we went into the lobby. We got a luxury teepee package. I bought it for my husband as a Christmas present, and my other girlfriend did the same thing. So, it was like a couple's trip, and we each had our own teepee, so it was spectacular. The package was all-inclusive. So, the events on the ranch came with the package we bought. They were very well done. We did the rodeo, which was on a Saturday night. We did mechanical bull riding, horseback riding, skeet shooting, paintball, and the escape room. The guys went fishing, and we did an airboat ride and miniature golf. It was grown-ups playing in a kid's world. We were four grown adults having the time of our lives. We were very pleased with it.
We tried different food options. One of the food options we tried right away was the one where we could order meat and we could grill it on our grill in front of each of our tepees. They brought us baked potatoes that they had already cooked. They brought us filet mignons, and we had vegetables, condiments, salad, and bread. They brought it in this big basket to our campsite. They light the fire for us, too. They brought us smores packages. It was super-duper cool. Plus each teepee had its golf cart to get around the resort. The teepee was incredibly roomy. It had a couch in there, and it was divided. It had a tripartition. There was the bathroom, the bedroom portion, and then the living quarters. We had a deck on the front porch with two chairs and a cooler, because they would come and put ice and snacks in the cooler each day. They did a very good job.

We stayed at Westgate in the past and have been very pleased. I saw those two weeks there and we jumped on it. The price was extremely right. In the past, it seemed like everybody was so strict about check in saying you can't check in until four o'clock. We were moving from one resort to another, so I went over early, and the young lady behind the desk was so nice. She said, “I think we can make it work for you,” and she did. I tipped her handsomely and we ended up with a lovely two-bedroom suite on Lake Sid there, and the ducks would come and visit us every day. The check-in couldn't have gone any smoother and quicker.
As far as the room, it looked like the inside had been renovated, but outside, it looks like it still needed some new windows, a new door and a little touchup here and there. Otherwise, the lake was breathtaking. They had their Christmas trees lit up at night, and that was impressive too. We love the Italian chop house. It's a little pricey, but it is good. We went there our first night and pigged out. We had a bottle of wine, and it was great, so I'd recommend that to anybody.

The staff were all pretty helpful. Everyone was very good except for the people outside who gave you your skis. I had two different rooms. For the first half of our trip, we stayed in a big suite, four-bedroom, for our whole family. It was older style but fulfilled our needs pretty well. It took us a while to find some of the stuff. More trash bags would be nice because if there was that many people staying there, you can go through trash a lot. Other than that, it was all right. The second room was a lot smaller. The design of the room was rather hard to manage. I didn't like it as much.
We tried the Draft Bar and it was one of the worst places I've ever eaten at. It's like American grill but they didn't have olive oil. All of the kids options were all fried. I asked if they could grill the chicken instead and they said no. There was no healthy option for children at all. We mostly cooked at the place because of that. The other resort was good. The Grand Summit Hotel had some good food options there. One thing about Westgate that I didn't like was that they didn't have daycare in the place, so we would go to Grand Summit.
Westgate did have the kid room, which we utilized, and that was nice. But the kids have to be with the parent. In an ideal world, the reason I choose one of these resorts and why people choose it mostly is because I've got young kids and they can't really ski full day yet. So I need to put them somewhere and they don't have that at Westgate.

The customer service on check-in goes very smoothly. Also, that one has a pool and it would be good if you had kids. We come, wanna hang out at the beach, and hit local restaurants. It works. That hotel has been converted from an older motel. So, it's okay. There's no carpeting in the units, which makes sense because there's a beach nearby, but that also means that those upstairs, the noise carries well. That could be annoying. Last year, we did an owner's update and received gift cards, and within a year, we went to spend them only to find that they had expired. The resort said, "Sorry, there's nothing we can do about that," which is annoying because they were the ones that gave it. But thankfully, the company that provided them issued new cards, but to have the resort say, there was nothing they could do about it was annoying.
The food options were minimal because the kitchen was small, but we were okay. They were just not equipped in that location to have a large selection. What they have is good. It's just a small selection. Some of the other resorts have full-service restaurants and this one's was like a tiki bar with a small kitchen. They would do chicken wings, salads, and burgers. But the bar staff that runs the tiki bar were awesome. They had the right amount of chattiness with customers. They would take the time to get to know you, to know what we drink, and to make certain that we were satisfied with stuff. Both of the gals that have been there for a while have been there for several years, and they are fabulous.
Westgate Resorts tries to get us into the owner's update and upsell us on another week. The product could sell itself, but then if it did, they wouldn't have pushy people trying to get them to do a timeshare. And when they do a timeshare update, they would say, "This will just take like a half hour." But it would take an hour or two. And the whole game of getting to us and, "Why would you like to do this? What's your dream vacation? And blah, blah, blah." And they talk to us and get their manager to come and tell us what they could do for us. The sales process is sleazy.

Everything that you need is there, especially for someone like me. I love to have everything at an arm's reach.

I saw on Facebook where Westgate Resorts got three nights and four days. I subscribed to that through Epic Travels. When we got there, we began to enjoy ourselves. I enjoyed even the check-in. They had plenty of people at the front desk. I didn't have to wait long. All I had to do was show my ID and my card that I used. Everybody friendly and it was wonderful.
We did the villa which had two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a balcony. When we went out, we went to the restaurants. It was good. There was bar in it and it was nice because we ate outside under an umbrella. We took the kids to the game room and they had fun in there as well. We got a chance to go to the water park and the lazy river. We also took the kids to the pool and the playground then we went to the store on site. We also rode the train. The only thing I didn't like about the train was it didn't stop on every side. When we went to the seminar, we decided to invest.

Everything went smooth. I was in the marines for 20 years, and Westgate Resorts gave me a free stay 'cause it was part of the Westgate Resorts Military Weekend. We did a 5k run there. We've accessed the pool before, and we were on the tennis court for an event. They had a field where they had a concert as well. They have different guests, and it was more of a country rock kind of theme this year.
This year, we paid to upgrade our free room. We've stayed there in the past and it's a mixed bag with the regular rooms. People could get a room that's not nice, one that's okay, or one that's not good. If people get more of a higher level room, they're gonna be more satisfied than getting a basic room. For the upgrade fee, we paid 500 for the weekend, so it was two nights. The pricing was fair for what we got for the size of the room. It was a three-bedroom villa and it was really nice. They put us in a nice corner room where we could be away from everyone, and I was quite happy about that. I don't think the food options are good, but the resort's close enough to the local attractions.
Hi Dennis,

Westgate's customer service tends to focus on its clients. Everything was smooth. They do have security check-in gate cards, so I feel like it's a secure location. It's a great location. If you’re going to Orlando area, being from Tampa, it’s a good stopping place if you had to do anything over there in that area. As far as the food options, they had something for everybody. It was enough. They do have a few restaurants on location and restaurants within a five-minute drive. At the location, they do have good food selections. I did basketball, riding the swan boat, the dog facilities, and dog park. Those are some of the amenities that I’ve partaken in. Westgate does a good job.

Everyone was nice at Westgate Resorts and the trip was good but the water park was a huge bust. They were renovating the water park and nobody ever told us that. When we arrived, the water park was only open from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and it messed up our entire stay because we had to plan our whole trip around those hours that the water park was open and have time to go and shower before going to dinner or going somewhere else. So, it was a huge inconvenience. The zipline was closed because of the season but we did the putt-putt and the park because we have little kids. And then, we would shop at the gift shop.
My in-laws brought their therapy dogs and they're very well behaved and well trained. When we took them outside or when they would take them outside, other people were not picking up after their animals several times. One of the times, my in-laws walked outside at 12:00 in the morning and it was dark, so they couldn't see. They stepped in poop and apparently, their dog stepped in poop too. When they brought the dog back into the room, the dog ran up and got on the bed. Then the phones wouldn't work. It was going in and out when we tried to call them on the landline. Thankfully, we were able to find another room. Where we stayed, it was two rooms conjoined. So, there was a phone in the closet in the other room. So, we hooked that up and we were able to get a good connection. So, we complained. It was 12:05 and they didn't even bring out sheets until 1:30. And that was after we had a call back down there.
I get that it's early in the morning. You don't wanna knock on the door. But if somebody is waiting for sheets to arrive, you would think you would at least call them, knock, do something, and let them know that the sheets are there. The staff simply set them in the hallway. That was not good customer service at all. We had already said people weren't picking up after the animals. Had we not given that information, I could see, but we had already told them that. Also, other animals were trying to attack the other dogs, like my in-laws’ animals.

Smoky Mountain was one of our favorite vacation spots and we love Westgate Resort. I love the big log cabin. We normally come around Christmas time and it's so beautifully decorated. It's close to everything too and we can go toward Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. It's a short drive especially if you go all the way up to the top of the resort and then down the mountain. That's convenient when traffic is bad. The lodging is very comfortable and we feel like we are home away from home because they have a great kitchen setup. We travel a good amount and they have a better quality bed. The bathrooms are nice and the unit we stayed at last time was luxurious. We chose Westgate for the comfort, location and all that they offer.
Checking in and out went very smoothly. They’re a very large resort and when we came, we knew that we were not gonna just walk right up. But it went very quickly. There was always somebody from the welcoming team who engaged with us while we were in line. The last lady we had was easy to connect with so we enjoyed chatting with her. The reps were very informative, friendly and efficient. You're in and out.
We ate at the restaurant that’s right by the welcome and we enjoyed it. It was good. We only ate there once because we like to eat at other places and we did a lot of the dinner shows too. We had great service and it was quick for the volume that they had that evening. We were served and waited on in a very timely manner. I would encourage people to book. This is the second year that we've come to Westgate at Gatlinburg and we wouldn't stay anywhere else.

I should have a choice. And if I say no, I shouldn't have to hear somebody else. Westgate Resorts could use a different approach. Because it's like, "We want you to wait right here before going or this person is gonna give you this other information." But they know what it is. Just tell me what it is or I’ll tell you, yes. I get that they're doing their best to sell. However, it's like a setup to me. And I didn't have an option to say, "No. I don't wanna go over there." I gotta listen to this deal.

We got rained out the whole week we were at another resort, and we were looking through online. I wanted my son to have a play area and a swimming pool. I looked into it and saw Westgate Resorts. The check-in and checkout process was awesome. The lady at the counter was very helpful and nice. She upgraded our room for us because we initially just got a one bedroom. Our son is one and a half. We didn't mind him sleeping with us but she was, "Oh, I'll just upgrade it for free and no charge." It was spectacular. The upgrade was from one bedroom to a two bedroom. She didn't have to do that, but it helped us because the crib could be in the other room.
We love the room. The only bad part about that room is, when you went in the main door, it squeaked on the bottom because they had a thing for snow or rain. Our one a half year old sleeps in a crib, and that was the room that we picked right there. It was hard getting out of the room when he was sleeping. As far as the food, we did order out and it was really good. I had a steak sub and it was really good. We got appetizers and pizza. The pizza was superb. The appetizers were a bit much for what we ate of them. The staff was awesome. Even the security guard was very nice. She was helping us find our room number. Although they gave us direction, I'm a tad slow. So, I wasn't positive where I was going but the security officer outside helped us.
Our experience was phenomenal. We really enjoyed that place. That kitchen was awesome. We love that kitchen. It was an open concept and we loved it. It was huge compared to the other resort we were at. We walked in and we were like, "What? Are you kidding me? We would rather stay here for a week than the other one."

I like he location of Westgate Resorts. Checking in and checking out were super easy. It was fantastic. My wife and I were there for a work retreat. They had everything planned out for us. The location is amazing. The views from any room are amazing. Our view was fantastic. In fact, my brother and sister-in-law are getting married in Park City and the airport's an hour away. So, I recommended they get a hotel room for the night and tell them to stay at the Westgate. I really liked it.

They called us to take a look and see what they have to offer and I loved it. It's a nice hotel and they have everything there. We were at the one in Vegas and the check-in and check-out were super easy. It felt like it took me two seconds to do both. Also, we had Benihana's and we had breakfast at one of the restaurants. We tried just about every restaurant they had there and everything was perfect. We also hung out at the pool, had a few drinks, and played the slot machines for a little bit. The pool experience was exactly what we wanted and needed.
Hi Danniel,
We are thrilled to hear about your positive experience at the Vegas location! The ease of check-in and check-out certainly adds to the overall comfort and enjoyment of your stay.

We had family members that went to Westgate and we had an opportunity to join as well. Our kids loved it. The location is very convenient. It's close to the parks and to the beach. There are a lot of activities to do. They have 14 different pools, movies, putt-putt and several restaurants now and they're all really good. They've improved a lot. We rode the bikes and we did the paddle boats. They're starting to plan activities on the weekends and the evenings with outdoor games and different things, depending on the season. We had a great time when we were there. The reservation was easy. We booked online, for the most part, 'cause we have the same week, and got there, stood in line, grabbed our keys and we were good to go.

The reservation check-in and check-out process with Westgate was smooth. We notified them about an hour before we got there, so when we got there, everything was ready for us. The resort staff were available and friendly. They answered our questions and there was somebody was there to give us directions. But they didn't have healthy food for me. They had salads but there wasn't a dinner menu at the resort that we were at. Other than that, the location of the resort was excellent. It wasn't too far and it had easy access to all the attractions. I like the fishing activities and that was a highlight for me from both times we went. The resort had access to fishing and the river boat which we paid for. One of the fishing places was on the resort itself while we drove to another point to reach the other one.

Back in 2007, I was meeting my brother down in Orlando, and I had nothing better to do. So, I went on a tour. I saw the Westgate Lakes, fell in love with it, and knew it would work out perfectly for my grandchildren. For check-in, I usually just check in ahead of time and walk right up, they give me my key.

Every time we walked past these two desks at Westgate Resorts, those people descended on us like hawks, asking us if we wanted to get $100 in free credit for food. We had to sit through a 90-minute presentation about timeshares. Except the time that they offered it, we couldn't do it. And they would only let us do it if we were a couple. My husband probably would have sat through it and got the information and said to me, “Is this something you wanna do?” But because I was in the conference, they wouldn't let him go. It had to be both of us.
A lot of people were there and going to a conference. If their significant other was there and they were willing to go, why wouldn't they let them go on behalf of both of them? The shower had multiple heads on it but they didn't work well together. I've been at other hotels that have more than one shower option and work more succinctly together. But the food was good. We ate at Benihana's and at the steak place. Also, my husband had a massage and said it was good.

Westgate Resorts had a promotion, so since I had a vacation come up, I went ahead and tried it. The one I went to was in Florida. The customer service was good. They had a lot of stations that were open. We arrived there at 9 o'clock at night so I went through the line quickly. They were top-notch. However, the resort lacked the amount of EV stations that they had. They normally had two stations. They were very old and hard to operate, so I had to go to the Super Tesla station down the block, which is five minutes away. They need to get upgraded. They need some EV stations out there.
The water park was expensive. It paid for itself, but it was a bit up in price. That water park needs to be advertised as an additional price. On the website, it's not advertised as that. If they were to do that, it wouldn't be a surprise to the guests. Because when we got there, I thought we could go in. No, $25 a head. But they provided us with discount tickets to the Boston Lobster Feast, which was another 15 minutes away.
It's a big resort, so I didn't get the chance to do the paddle boat. That was far away from the water park. So, I went to the gym. I couldn't believe that this type of resort had a Smith machine in there. I worked out for a few, and that was the only amenities I utilized while I was there. Upstairs, we got some breakfast. The only thing I got was a virgin piña colada. It was so-so. The bartender was new. She was in training mode, so it wasn't up to our standard. But the rooms were spectacular. Everything was clean.

My reservation for my stay at Orlando's Westgate was made through the Vacation Traveler's Club for Saturday, September 2 - Saturday, September 9. We received this booking because we were not ready to purchase a timeshare from Westgate and wanted additional time and experiences before making such a big decision. Through the booking process my husband spoke to numerous people about the check in time as well as any further responsibilities required of us, such as another presentation, a sales pitch, etc. We were told every time check in is at 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time and there are no further requirements. I live in TN and I planned my morning and drive time around check in. I woke up Saturday morning at 3:00 to leave my home at 4:00 am. This would put my family in Orlando around 1:00 to enjoy lunch together at Tijuana Flats, pick up the groceries we'd need for our stay and check in.
We arrived at Westgate at 3:30. A little early; however many people were already checking in with us. A young man helped my husband (We didn't get his name). He was kind and explained our room is not ready yet but it is before 4:00. "We'll let the staff know you're here, and you'll get a text when your room is ready. At that time you can pick up your keys from our concierge desk." He did say the room should be ready by 4:00 as that is check in and if we would like any updates to come see him directly. (Wish I got his name - wonderful customer service).
We hadn't received a text message by 4:00 so we returned. The line to check in was even longer, and we didn't want to wait in that line or cut ahead of another family. We approached Guest Services where we were told, "We can't help you, we only schedule tours here." I thought that was extremely odd as directly across the lobby there's a desk/area for tours. Maybe Westgate should correct their signs or help their employees know what they do. Nonetheless, she told us to go stand behind the family he was currently helping. The same gentleman wasn't able to help us, but a lady by the name of Genesis did. She pulled up our reservation and said housekeeping is done but the room needs to be inspected now. It should be done within the hour. Do you not trust your housekeeping staff or why are we inspecting the room? She apologized and sent us on our way. I found that to be extremely poor customer service but let it go.
With groceries in the car (in Orlando in 90 degree heat, my child, and my sister - which if you're wondering after this experience she won't purchase a timeshare either) we decided it was best to drive around. It's either waste gas or waste food. We drove around Westgate property for an hour. Found our building. Found numerous staff members standing outside of the building every time we drove by. 5:00 rolls around and we haven't heard an update. I am furious. I feel like I've been getting the runaround and lies for the last hour and a half and I'm done. My husband and I walked into the lobby and were immediately asked what we needed. My husband responded, "We're still waiting on our room, we really need to know what's going on and when we'll be able to get into it."
She directs us to a young lady at concierge desk. I don't remember her name but she is from Puerto Rico. She was struggling to find our reservation and asked another woman to come help her. Unfortunately, I don't remember her name either but she's from Colombia. The woman from Colombia was able to find our reservation and said "yea your room is not ready yet". Callous, cold, unprofessional....I said okay. "What time is your check in?" She first ignored the question and spoke to my husband. I asked again. She then looked at me and said 4:00. I agreed, "Yes the website says 4:00 and what time is it now?" Again, she ignored the question and spoke to my husband. I asked again. She simply looked at me. No response. I told her what time it was. It was shortly after 5:00 (exactly what time I do not remember now). I proceeded to explain the situation we were in and my frustration.
This employee from Colombia continued to interrupt me and speak over me. I asked her to not interrupt me. She continued. I slammed my hand down, open palm, on the counter and said, "Do not interrupt me!" At that she walked away!! Horrible Customer Service! Not only did she leave a co-worker who needed her help she walked away from a customer. Had she stopped talking for one minute and listened to me, I would have asked for a manager. She didn't even come back with a manager or anything! She completely walked away. No resolution. No communication. Nothing. Terrible. I cannot believe Westgate allows their employees to treat people that way. The young lady from Puerto Rico listened, showed empathy, did not interrupt, had a caring tone, and pointed me in the direction of a manager. She took the time to listen! That's all the woman from Colombia needed to do.
Jeffery was the manager we spoke to. I realized when speaking to Jeffrey that Genesis, the lady from earlier, is also a supervisor. Genesis leaned over and asked, "Their room still isn't ready?!" Jeffrey looked at her and asked in return, "Why wasn't this room given to them?" "I'm sorry, what!?" Genesis, a supervisor, could have done what Jeffrey just did for me an hour ago! I said all of that to say worst check in experience ever and ultimately it was because of the woman from Colombia and Genesis why I will not be purchasing a timeshare. I understand I shouldn't have responded the way I did, and I own that; however the nonsense from Genesis and then the unprofessionalism from the concierge desk is unacceptable from an employee representing a business - and Westgate allows it!
This experience was shared with Westgate while we were there. All they did was lower the price of a timeshare to try to get me to buy. Pathetic. They don't care how you're treated. Moving forward with that, on Sunday my husband received a call confirming our appointment for Tuesday. The appointment we were assured wouldn't happen. My husband explained Tuesday will not work and we're pretty upset, we won't be purchasing. At that time he was told we just need to come in, share our experience, sign some paperwork declining, and the paperwork has to be notarized. The appointment was moved to Monday at noon with Gamma. That was all lies, too. We did have to sit through an hour long sales pitch, after explaining multiple times we are not interested. Gamma pulled in a second person to try to sell to us. It didn't work. She didn't ask about our experience at all.
We had to remind her we've had an awful experience with Westgate already. If you're told I've had a terrible experience already (in one day) that should be the first thing you ask about. Not showing me all your properties and benefits. Again, not actively listening to your customer. I see where the front line customer service representatives get it if the upper management can't figure it out. To top it off, Gamma insulted my husband! He is a writer, and one of the top writers and sought after writers in his topic and what he does.. She had the audacity to ask how it is living with him because writers are kind of psychotic and coo coo. Are you kidding me?! This isn't Secret Window with Johnny Depp. It's real life and my husband! Furthermore, the gentleman she brought over said Westgate doesn't partner with the Vacation Traveler's Club anymore ..But wait, there's more!
The third person that came to my table (yes they are that pushy and really don't listen) offered me another week through the Vacation Traveler's Club! Comical. Listen fellas, if you're going to be dishonest, at least collaborate better. By the way, when that entire charade was done, the only document signed was one stating we took a tour. Nothing was signed saying we declined and nothing was notarized. Sketchy? Lies? I think so. So now, to the room. We stayed in room 5551-A in the 5500 building. A two bedroom condo with a view of Disney. First thing we noticed was the air conditioning unit and the hot water. Every time the unit came on there was a loud pop or thud kind of noise. It was difficult to ignore and if you're a light sleeper....Well you can only imagine. I'm guessing the hot water heater is tankless as it took 10 - 15 minutes to get any hot water.
I was shocked to not have a smart TV in an updated room.. And the guide situation was a mess. Along with that, the coffee maker. In an updated room I would expect to find a newer coffee maker. Not one that makes the fire alarm go off! Yes this old janky coffee maker set off the fire alarm. That was the only thing in use at the time it went off and I stopped using it after that. The dishwasher filter was absolutely disgusting. I thought the rooms had to be cleaned and inspected? This filter hadn't been cleaned in months. There was a white slimy film on it, food and hair stuck in it. Mold growing.. and yes all of that spraying on your dishes. Yummy! I cleaned it. If you can look past all of that, yes the room was nice. The large whirlpool tub was wonderful.
The amenities are okay. Multiple pools. It'd be nice if the water park stayed open later. It's nice to have the variety of restaurants; however, don't advertise room service and delivery because that isn't true. Also, the restaurants may want to update their menus. We tried to order pizza and couldn't call to order it, we had to go down there. What we wanted (based on their menu online) was no longer available, their menu changed. They had printed menus but nothing updated online. It's easier to update online than print all those. The grills were great but a little sketchy. The knobs were so loose and falling off you couldn't tell if the grill was actually on or not. Not safe, especially for a gas grill. Will Westgate do anything about this experience or just say another apology and use this for training?
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us! It seems that our management team has been doing everything they can to get in touch with you and address your concerns. They have left a few voicemails and offered a $100.00 credit towards a future reservation.

Westgate Resorts gave us a choice of the different places we can go. We have a package where we have every other year full-time thing. Then I also had signed up for the Westgate Cruise & Travel. We've used it every year. They have a number of things there on the site. We've gone primarily to Westgate in Kissimmee Florida. Westgate Towers is what it's called. They've got the pools. They have recreational facilities there for children. We participated in the exercise gym. We've gone to different resorts. Each one has something unique to that particular location.
Westgate did have a resort in Mississippi once, but that one closed. It was in Tunica, and that was close to where I grew up. I grew up in Mississippi. The very first time we used a Westgate property was when we did the Tunica location because I was going home. That one was right off of the area where the casino is down in Tunica, Mississippi. My wife was not in favor of this because she thought it was a rip-off. The reason why I bought it was because I wanted to travel and I didn't wanna pay the regular freight for travel cost, and Westgate has fulfilled all of my needs as far as that is concerned.
We were gonna go to Hawaii and we still haven't got that done, but that's because Westgate doesn't have a property in Hawaii, but they do kind of piggyback off of other resorts. So, you can go. In general, I've been very pleased with Westgate. It's been a good purchase. Three years ago, my wife and I drove all the way to Park City, Utah and we enjoyed that. I played golf out there. Everywhere I go, I play golf. I played golf in Cancun this year. That wasn't Westgate property, but it was Westgate Cruise & Travel. We would have never gone there had it not been for our purchase of this Westgate thing. We enjoyed the heck out of that. S
Thank you for sharing your experience with Westgate Resorts. It sounds like you have had a great time using our properties and services.

The reservation process with Westgate is easy and the reps have everything ready for you when you go to the desk. It’s not losing time. I've been in two locations and both of them are in Orlando. I bought the property for 33,000 but it’s more expensive now. They gave me that price during the pandemic when I visited them the first time and they held on for me for two years.
The apartments are beautiful as well as the other amenities but the food options are very limited. The one on Lake Road has a nice water park and I enjoy seeing my kids enjoy. So, for the water park, the amenities are good. They have a sauna and massage. They got the whole nine yards. I went to the spa and had a good time with my family. I recommend people to buy a timeshare because it’s 526 a month plus 1300 every year for maintenance. But it’s worth it if use them more than five times a year. I have unlimited reservations. I can go any time. I have to call one week before, reserve and they’ve my apartment for me.
Thank you for paying us another visit to the Westgate! We appreciate your loyalty and continued trust in our resort and staff. It's great to hear that the reservation process was easy and that the representatives had everything ready for you at the desk.

I really loved Westgate Resorts. Everybody was helpful. I enjoyed the food options. They have salads, chicken, and buffalo wings. They had a range of options. We went swimming, we went to the water park and the activity center, and made bracelets with my daughter. We went to the smores, but they ran out of the chocolate and the Graham crackers, so we got a burnt smore. I wanted to do the paddle boat, too, but because the hurricane was coming, they didn't allow that. I enjoyed all the activities I did.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are glad to hear that you found everyone to be helpful and that you enjoyed the food options.

Have been LIED to multiple times from 80-90% of their employees. Every presentation we have attended ended up being a seminar on lying. The Resorts are pretty nice but our Maint. Fees are getting OUT OF CONTROL. WG Cruise & Travel is a BIGGER scam than the resorts though. DO NOT book anything with WGCT as it is a nightmare and extremely aggravating. We were asked to upgrade to get free resort and cruise certs and did it. Lol, Resort dates are never available when we want to use them, hotels are usually cheaper on Expedia, and HOLY FREAKING COW what a nightmare trying to schedule a cruise. Just for giggles went out to EXPEDIA and again FOUND CHEAPER PRICES. This is started to become slightly comical to me now but it still very upsetting. We work hard for our money and wished we would have found a more honest company to do business with.
We are so sorry to hear about your negative experiences with WG Cruise & Travel. It is completely understandable to feel frustrated and upset when you have been misled multiple times. We hope that this unpleasant experience does not discourage you from visiting Westgate Resorts in the future.

Criminal crooks. Thought we was getting a really good deal. Was told we had three years to take the five vacations. We paid $300 down out of the 1295. Found out a couple weeks ago that four of them had to be taken in 18 months. That’s not what I was told when I got them. You have 10 days to cancel. This was done in April so therefore they say they can’t cancel it. I am not making my other payments and they will not refund my money so don’t do it. I told them they are gonna get nasty reviews because they’re not willing to refund my money.

My wife and I were approached by Westgate employees and told we would attend a 90 minute sales presentation and for our participation we would receive a 3 day/2 night vacation and $120 gift card. My wife and I had time and decided why not, what's 90 minutes. This was one of the worst decisions we EVER made. This presentation went on for over 8 hours. After numerous attempts at leaving and telling Nick we couldn't afford to pay the down payment, he continued to try and sell to us even going as far as putting our $120 gift card and telling us he would pay half of the down payment if we came up with the other half. He also told us it was illegal what he was doing. He literally pocketed our gift card and money we give just to try and get it over with so we could leave. After going to the final paperwork we finally had an opportunity to let upper management know what was going on in which we found out we didn't need a down payment. Westgate is a horrible business. This ruined our last day of our honeymoon being stuck in a room for 8 hours. NEVER AGAIN!!! KEEP FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience of the sales staff. It is not our intention to make you feel pressured in any way from anyone on our staff. It's also regrettable that this incident negatively impacted your honeymoon. Even so, I hope you were still able to enjoy the remainder of your trip. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Westgate has been a nightmare to be involved with. We feel misled by this company. We have reached out to them requesting to cancel the contract with them. We have been sent to collections. We have waited for ages for a response from Westgate. When they do respond, all they say is this is a contract and essentially we signed it. They claim to have reviewed our concerns and complaints but have not given an acceptable solution to the issues.
Most recently, we received a letter from them apologizing that we did not agree with them and stated they will give us the same answer any time we reach out to them. For that reason, we are reaching out to you. Please lead us in the right direction for some assistance. This is not something we can financially continue to contribute to. We aren't interested in owning with Westgate any longer. They have been increasingly rude to us and trying to pressure us into upgrading. The fact that a company can't recognize that the economy has changed and people are struggling is disheartening. Please assist. We are looking forward to your response. Thank you.

Dealing with the customer service is a nightmare. FINAL STRAW.... This is why I wrote this review. I asked a simple question of what number to call if I did not receive a refund. At that time Travis, the customer service rep told me that I should have received it. So I asked again if there was a number to call if it wasn't there. Again, he said I was refunded. I said, "Ok. But if I go back and look at my bank account and it is NOT there, can you give me a number to call?" He said, "YOU would have to contact your bank." I explained to him that his company does the refunds, not my bank. AND HE HUNG UP ON ME!!!! Thank God I cancelled. This was the 4th time I dealt with their awful customer service.
First time they booked me a month early. Second time they increased the rate over $60 a night for a 6 day stay because the price now increase and they could do anything about honoring the first rate. The second rep (who was kind) told me she was looking for a new job because the system is a nightmare and she could see where the first individual booked it wrong. But was still not able to honor the price. Third time. I told the rep the price increase was too much and I needed to cancel. I could not understand her. Which made the conversation complicated. Final was with Travis.... and I just wanted to make sure the reservation was cancelled since I never received a cancellation email from rep #3. I did get an email when I cancelled the one for the wrong month from rep #2.
If you truly record your calls, like it states while you are on hold. LIsten to the call with Travis at Approximately 1:58 CST. I called the 1-888-808-7410 number after attempting the other local numbers that kept me on a loop of punching 3-4 numbers before taking me back to the main menu. Those looking for relaxing stay....Find a different company with better customer service that won't stress you out. Kind regards to those who read this post.

Saturday, March 27th: Water on the floor of the Master Bathroom and had spread from shower stall into the toilet closet. Water on/in the jacuzzi tub. Called Housekeeping and maintenance came with plunger thinking it was a clogged toilet. Figured out it was not and didn’t know what the problem was (thought maybe housekeeping spilled water and forget to clean up). Maintenance requested housekeeping to come in and clean up water. This was completed 1.5hrs later.
Sunday Night, March 28th: At 1:15am, we were woke up by the sounds of running water coming from our Master bedroom shower. I investigated and found that there was running water coming out of the light in the shower and more water coming out of the ceiling above the jacuzzi tub. I called Housekeeping and they sent a maintenance worker to investigate. He said it must be a plumbing issue and that he would go upstairs and tell the people to stop using the shower and/or tub because of the issue in our room. He also said that he would contact the plumber in the morning to work on the issue.
While we were standing in the kitchen area, we both heard running water coming from the locked door that houses the mechanical unit (furnace and AC unit). He opened that door to find the ceiling had partially collapsed and there was standing water under the mechanical unit. He said this was a serious issue and it would be taken care on Monday morning.
Monday, March 29th: We decided to go to the beach this day, because we assumed the maintenance workers and plumber would be in and out of our room fixing the problem. When we arrived back to our room at 6pm, there were no notes or voicemail left for us and the floor was yet again wet. I called at 7pm and they said a maintenance person would be right down as this was a high priority. After 30 minutes, no one had arrived. I called again asking for a manager and was told that ‘Manny’, the manager would be down within 10 minutes to see what was going on. Manny never showed.
At 7:45, a maintenance worker showed up, again with a plunger, to resolve the issue. After seeing what we were talking about, he filled out a form using his phone describing what was occurring and that a plumber needed to resolve this issue in the morning because of the safety concerns. He stated that we should not use the master shower or jacuzzi due to electrical shock issues until this was resolved. He did not have a key to open the locked mechanical closet and apologized for this but said they would look into it the next day.
Tuesday, March 30th: By noon, we had not heard anything from the resort and no one had shown up, so I again called and asked for a manager. After a 10-minute wait on the phone, I was told that ‘Carlos’ would be arriving at my suite to see what was going on as, they can see online that an issue has been ‘filed.’ We wait the day and still no one shows up. Tuesday evening as we are eating dinner, we hear water leaking out of the locked closet and again call. Maintenance sends someone down, who again does not have a key to the closet but says a plumber will need to fix this issue and says something is already on file about this. He cleans up the mess with towels and leaves.
Wednesday, March 31st: We wake to water running out of the light in the master bedroom shower and out of the ceiling into the jacuzzi tub. And now there is mold and bubbles in the paint on the ceiling from where the water has leaked through. Now mind you, we have NOT USED OUR OWN SHOWER OR THE JACUZZI SINCE MONDAY.
We feel that these issues and the fact that they were not resolved in any way for the safety of the occupants puts us a great risk. In every step of the process to try and resolve this issue not only for us but for future occupants, we have found that there is a lack of concern, follow through and communication from every person we’ve spoken to. Not only is the customer service aspect lacking but the housekeeping aspect shows little care and motivation in making sure they do a job to completion with a focus on cleanliness (i.e. floor soaking wet with standing water when we arrived, lightbulbs not working, handprints on the sliding glass door, telephones with no directory of resort listings, etc…).

Check in was late. We got our room keys to our 2bdrm villa with jacuzzi tub. Upon entering room smelled damp like mold. Floors were wet. I have a family of 8 so this smell was crazy. Now it's after 10pm and half way through our showers and baths raw sewage started coming up through the drains and toilets. The smell was horrendous???. So I go back to Welcome Center and request new unit. The 90 minute tour was 4 hours. No one cared about our stay. Only making money. I do not recommend. We were given $75 in Westgate vouchers but that's nothing when we have 8 guests and a drink there is $5.

We first visited the Westgate Lakes property in Orlando because we were gifted a trip by our daughters. While there we were told to attend a one-hour meeting to learn more about ownership with their company. No matter how many time we told the staff during this meeting, which was far longer than one hour, that we did not want to make a purchase because we were on the verge of retirement, they kept pushing. After 4 hours, we felt that we had no choice but to accept one of their offers and give in to their demands. When we returned home, we discovered that we did not own at the Lakes property, but the staff had switched our purchase to the Westgate Palace location without our knowledge or consent.
