The air conditioning in the room was horrible. Would not cool such a small room. Despite being on for 6 days and set to 65ish, the temp stayed at 75. Not great when it’s so hot out and you look to return to your room to cool down and sleep well.

The pictures of the water slides is NOT included in the resort fees. There is another $25 per person fee on top of the already expensive fee. Check in process sucked. We had to park away from the front desk in a parking garage then hike the family around the resort to find the front desk. Then waited in line for 20 mins while everyone checks in. They didn’t give me a parking pass the first time so I had to make 2 of these trips to the front desk. Noisy people all around us all night. Kids running up and down the hall. People outside the sliding glass doors.

My experience here was horrible. Upon check in we were give keys to someone else room. Couldn’t activate the keys and had to get security. Because the rooms was occupied by someone else I had to go back to customer service to get another room. The room was clean but the rug smells very bad. There were roaches and other bugs in the room. The sofa bed had garbage on it when we pulled it out. Staff were excellent in providing what ever needed but overall this is my out place to go back. When you have a child with sensory issues and a situation like this with back and forth upon checking and the smells of the room was a tigger. For me and my family our future return to Florida will be somewhere else.

Too many people there on the $99 for the week stays that are not transferring to becoming owners. Very ghetto and tasteless guests that were loud, vulgar, smoking blunts, and monopolized the pools and parking. Totally transformed my opinion of Westgate. Will not be staying there again

I usually love staying at Westgate, but this trip was terrible from the moment we checked in. I walked into and occupied room with ppl having sexual intercourse with my 5 yr old son, they were not apologetic or accommodating at all. The refrigerator in my room leaked and the toilet had to plunged every time it was flushed. Lastly, the family next door checked in with their dogs and let them roam off the leash, which terrified my son to the point I had to end the stay because he would not go back in, and again the property was not accommodating at all. We have been coming to this property for the last 4 yrs and we will NOT be returning.
