This is a huge hotel. There was no direction in regards of where anything was. Staff pretty much didn’t care. Had to pay $34 day for parking. The music is extreme and loud at the pool area. The lights at the pool were never shut off and illuminated my room every night. If you want just a bed, pick a different hotel.

The property is very large but also very family-friendly, full of amenities and dining and entertainment without having to leave the property. The villas are spacious and comfortable. Most of the staff is very friendly and helpful. A few concerns are I noticed remnants of dead roaches on the floor and extra blanket from the closet, because the property is so large it is not very accessible without getting a ride to and from the lobby through bellhop services giving cart rides

I really enjoyed the property my mom used to work at Westgate lake resorts and I used to drop her off and pick her up but I never stayed on the property well she died in 2015 so my recent stay was very nostalgic for me I thought about her the entire time I enjoyed the room so much I didn't go anywhere

There are several choices for pools, all of which we enjoyed. The walking trail along the lake was a great feature, as were the paddle boats, picnic areas, and miniature golf (which we didn’t have time to play).

The bathroom wasn’t clean. The room had a weird smell. You can hear anytime your neighbor opens the door your door will make it seem like it is opening. The check in staff was super rude. We were there with family and requested rooms as close together and we were 3 buildings apart. Parking was terrible!!!! After a long day at the parks and you want to take a nice relaxing shower that won’t happen. There was zero water pressure in the shower. We ate dinner at Drafts I do not recommend. Food was not good or cooked correctly. Thankfully we saw on our receipt gratuity was automatic, as the server nor the menu said anything. We did have 6 people in our party two were children and we were on separate checks. I would not stay here again or recommend it.

The room was great! Very clean and comfortable bed. The only suggestion that would make it better would be to have some blackout type curtains over the slider as we were right by one of the pools and so the lights were bright all night and the vertical blinds just didn't keep the light out. Other than that it was a very easy check in/out process and there was a lot to do from pools to hot tubs to a water park to restaurants and even a little store. We would certainly stay here again!

Well, when we arrived the room was actually well cleaned and seemed to be nice. However, on the next day, we found several roaches about in the room. Then on the next day found several more and it was even more disturbing that when we got home from vacation and unpacked we had several crawl out of our bag that leads me to believe there were many more than what was even seen. I was very disappointed because I thought the place was a decent place until I had that experience.
