Great for women travelling solo

I was a bit afraid as I was a woman travelling solo, but I felt very safe, there was security everywhere and the free shuttle is very convenient to go to the many areas of the resort. The villa had absolutely all I needed from cutlery, pots and pans to washing machine and dish washer. There are also many restaurants and a shop for groceries inside the resort. There’s a Walmart 5 min from there and it’s easy to reach the main attractions in Orlando from there. Would definitely go back!

I thought it was great value. The room was great. The food at Drafts pub was excellent. The kids enjoyed bowling and mini golf. The pools were nice. My one complaint is that the dock was closed the whole time we were there. We had really hoped to be able to do some fishing.

Lovely resort setting.

We definitely enjoyed our stay there, and may go there again. Positives: good value for the $, lovely setting, great walking path along the lake, many pools to choose from, spa tub in the room was nice, comfortable beds, balcony space was a bonus. Not so positive: intermittent tapping noise in vent, our closest, nicest pool was closed on Wednesdays, some pool spas were not working properly, a lot of construction was happening on the property, no room cleaning offered even when we stayed 8 nights. The surrounding area has heavy traffic, but it is Orlando.

This property was absolutely amazing! It is beautiful and so well kept, located in the best part of Orlando. All the attractions are close by and easy to get to. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming and make sure to offer help when you need it. The lake view is so nice and there is so much to do on site with many options for every age.This was my first time at a Westgate property and I will become a returning customer!

Over an hour in line to check in, then an additional 45 mins till we were notified our room was ready. We were given a gift card for the game room for our excessive wait time-however there wasn’t even enough money to play one game. Service & food was horrible at the sports bar. Asked the concierge about mini golf & fishing times, was told 10am-6pm, showed up at 520pm was told they shut down both at 5pm.
