Westgate Town Center Reviews & Ratings

Westgate is a wonderful resort to visit, varies activities for children and adults, water park on the premise (charge for non owners). Disney is only 1 mile from the resort, 20 - 30 mins from Universal Studios and Sea World.

This resort had everything we needed and more for a wonderful family vacation! We enjoyed the proximity of many of the world famous Orlando attractions, and on site, just steps from our beautiful unit, we enjoyed delicious dining options and the family friendly shipwrecked island water park. The staff members were amazing, and our unit was immaculate.

This Villa is just beside Disney World Main Gate. It makes seeing the Park in the daytime and then taking a break and going back at night a breeze. Disney at Christmastime is just simply magical!

Every time I vacation with Westgate it’s an experience that me, my family & friends will never forget. It’s something to do for the whole family and most amenities are free to owners and their guest. After you vacation in a Resort it’s hard to go back to a hotel room.

The 4 bedroom complex is fantastic. So many opportunities for outside fun at the resort. Great workout center, many pools and hot tubs available. Plus your own personal hot tub in the Master bedroom.

When I travel to Orlando, I look here first to see if it is available. Definitely my favorite so far. The units are great, especially the two bedrooms. Full Kitchen, Washer Dryer, fantastic Master Bedroom with very Large Jacuzzi tub. All amenities are great. Starbucks, ice cream, food restaurants on site. They even have a water park, and movies, if you wish to relax and have your kids still have fun.

I'm not a great writer, you just have to see it for yourself!! You won't be disappointed.

Just an FYI: I highly suspect the overall review rating would be 5 stars if it weren't for some of the older posts, where construction of both Water Park and New Welcome center were being performed.

We spent one week at this resort early January 2015. It was immaculate. Staff and all services were efficient and wonderful. Staff was very courteous and quick to reply. Our unit was beautiful and we really enjoyed the LARGE jacuzzi tub in our master suite. The choice of 14 heated pools was very nice and the activities were enjoyable. There is something happening everyday. They are building a water park in the centre of the buildings and will be done this spring, so will be nice when we go back in the future. The free shuttle to the parks was a bonus as was the ice cream shoppe on site. I am looking forward to the spa being onsite in the future as well. Great Resort!

I rented the 2 bd/2 ba unit via Redweekat a great price so I didn't have huge expectations. However, the resort was as close to all inclusive as my family has visited through a rental. Check-in was quick with no problems; a $50 incidental deposit seemed reasonable. Directly from check-in you are processed to a "Welcome Center" which basically sets you up for a timeshare purchase tour through the enticement of free breakfast, a box of cookies, a $25 certificate for the restaurant on property, and use of all amenities of the resort for free (benefit of ownership). I guess this beats the daily phone calls asking you to take a tour, and really the "tour" pitch happens at every timeshare resort so I thought this approach was less invasive and more professional.

The condo was well furnished, spacious, clean, and appropriately equipped. Our unit was directly beside the 18 hole mini-golf course, the activities center with paddle boats, bikes and sports equipment as well as corn hole playing area. My son played at the soccer field everyday - using a ball checked-out from the activities center. The only con is although there are 14 pools on the property, we did find them often crowded, and not conveniently located to our unit. Hopefully the waterpark under construction will address this compliant.

My family found all staff professional and helpful. The shuttles to and from Universal, Disney and SeaWorld are a nice convenience, but keep in mind they are crowded. As a matter of fact, the Universal shuttle has two drop off times, but only one pick up time so there are many patrons standing on the return trip. Since it is a 13 mile trip, it is rough standing on tired feet while trying to keep your balance on a moving bus; I wish they would stagger drop off and pick up times to Universal like they do Disney.

Lastly, the restaurants on property are reasonably priced with pretty good food. Of course, the Starbucks outlet was popular with the kids and the placement was genius since it is directly beside the game room. I appreciated the written activities schedule, including the daily phone blasts outlining all the activities. Even though most Orlando vacations are consumed with Disney and Universal outings, Westgate Town Center and Vacation Villas offer plenty to stay on property on the needed days of rest.

We definitely plan to return when the waterpark is complete!

I suppose you can nitpick any place you stay but this resort is very good. Plenty to do. Free shuttle to Universal City, Disney World, Sea World, Disney Walk. They have 3 movies a day for children and adults. We stayed for 7 nights at the end of February 2014.

beautiful, quiet, relaxing and yet still close to an abundance of shopping, dining and entertainment experiences; great activities on site for families including biking, crafts, basketball, tennis, sand volleyball, pedal boats and shuffleboard

We spent Labor Day weekend (4 NTs) and loved the room but hated the resort. I realize hate is a strong word but the resort felt so creepy. The grounds are not only dirty and unkempt, there were 5 areas taped off for what appeared to be work or repairs. These areas didn't look to have any recent work done to them. They appeared to have been taped off for weeks or months. The biggest disappointment was the huge sand pit in the middle of the main and two side wings. On the resort map, this area should have been a pool area. Instead it was an eye sore. Things like windows and glass in common areas were not only dirty but had mold/algae growing on them. Trash was in landscape beds. The pool furniture is in bad condition and the overall pool areas seemed run down. Expect long lines at check-in. It took nearly 40 minutes for us to check in. The positives to this resort is the rooms. If you never leave your room, you'll enjoy this resort.

I just spent two weeks at this resort, returned a few days ago. I arrived on a Sunday at about 6 pm and grabbed dinner at the restaurant Shorts & Sandals which was pretty good. I then went to check in which took about 20 minutes. Our room was great, there was a ton of stuff to do at the resort. Many different pools close to chose from if any are crowded so that was great. The staff was very accommodating and my stay was wonderful. Super close to Disney and a lot of other great stuff. Walking distance to grocery stores and restaurants. I have stayed there before and would definitely again!

Took a vacation to Disney with the family.....It was a great place to stay. We had a full kitchen so we cooked to save money and we were only 1 mile from Disney. Kids loved the kid zone, mini golf and movie theater. We loved the lake and pool side area. The 1 bedroom was just the right size for all of us. I also enjoyed the jacuzzi tube after a long day at the parks.......Not sure why they have bad reviews must have been a bad day.....not for us...A+++++

Outstanding vacation place close to all the parks. Lovely staff who catered to our every need!

We have been owners at Westgate Town Center for a few years now. And every year keeps getting better and better! Every trip there is something new. From a Disney movie theater located right in the Town Center that shows 3 movies per day to playing mini golf at Jurassic Golf. There are all sorts of activities going on at pools 1 and 13. If you want a quiet pool, you can pick any of the other 11 pools if you want to sit back and relax. Upcomming is only getting better.... water park (3 stories), beach, shopping center, petting zoo... the list goes on and on. This is such a wonderful resort and it keeps getting better! Lastly, the staff.. They are the best ! They make it feel "like home".

BEAUTIFUL RESORT!!!! HAVE OWNED HERE FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS. WE TRADE TO OTHER RESORTS BUT RARELY FIND RESORTS THAT ARE AS WELL KEPT AND HAVE AS MANY AMENITIES AS WESTGATE TOWN CENTER. THE 2BR UNITS ARE OVER 1200SF. EVER UNIT HAS A LARGE SCREENED IN PATIO WITH LOUNGE CHAIRS AND TABLE AND CHAIRS OVERLOOKING POOL OR WILSON LAKE. IT'S SO NICE TO SIT OUT ON THE PATIO IN THE MORNING DRINKING COFFEE AND EATING BREAKFAST. SOME YEARS WE NEVER LEAVE THE RESORT TO VENTURE OUT TO THE THEME PARKS. WE JUST RELAX AT THE MANY POOLS SITUATED AROUND THE RESORT, OR RIDE BIKES AROUND THE RESORT OR TAKE A PADDLE BOAT AND RIDE AROUND THE LITTLE LAKE THEY HAVE WITHIN THE RESORT. THEY HAVE DJ OR LIVE MUSIC AT THE MAIN POOL MANY NIGHTS DURING THE WEEK AND THERE IS A BAR TO SIT AT AND ORDER TROPICAL DRINKS. RETURNING FROM A VACATION AT WESTGATE REALLY FEELS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN ON VACATION. THIS RESORT LIVES UP TO IT'S 5 STAR RATING.

I own (since 1999) a 2bedroom/2bathroom unit at Westgate Town Center. It's a lovely resort....lots to do and fun for the whole family and friends!

My husband and I just returned from Westgate Vacation Villas. We found that the accommodations were first class. We were in a 1 bedroom villa which had a beautiful huge jacuzzi tub. We checked in without any problems, and checked out without having to enter the Pavillion. The staff was very courteous and made us feel like our vacation was equally as important to them. We upgraded by purchasing an additional week along with a 2 bedroom lockout in the 6000 building of the Town Center, which is still under construction. I can't wait to visit again and especially enjoy our new villa.

I recommend Westgate to anyone without hesitation.

My husband and I just returned from Orlando,Florida.We stayed at the Westgate Town Center, we were there on a timeshare certificate 4 days 3 nights,with accomodations 1 bedroom 1 bath and a full kitchen.The first unit we were assigned,I wasn't happy with, after I complained to the manager, he apologized to us and instantly relocated us to an upgraded unit, "1 bedroom with a jacuzzi tub,1.5 bathroom,full kitchen and a large private balcony".The saleperson on the timeshare tour was a little aggressive,however,I stayed firm with him. Every thing with smooth after that. My husband and I didn't purchase at this time, but are planning to return early next year to purchase an unit.I definetely recommend this resort to anyone.BE AWARE,IF YOU PURCHASE A WEEK VACATION PACKAGE,THAT BOTH PARTIES AGREE ON THE SAME THING,PLEASE PAY OFF VACATION WITHIN 90 DAYS OR ELSE WESTGATE WILL SLAUGHTER YOU WITH THEIR INTEREST RATES AND ARE NOT WILLING TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENT.ENJOY YOUR VACATION. MAY 18,2008, My husband and I just returned home from visiting Westgate Towne Center . We are now proud owners of Westgate, Building 6000, which is under construction, expected to be completed in spring 2009. Our experience this time around was outstanding, we checked in on May 10,2008 around 11:00 am with no problems, we were given 2 choices as to where we wanted to stay, we chose the 2/2 Villas,unit Y4 which was located right in front of a swimming pool (13 pools total for this resort). If you decide to purchase, request to have Mr.John Greene as your closing officer, he is very knowledgable and personnable.This time of year is the best time to visit the Florida area, you have the run of the resort and the Theme Parks. PACK YOUR BAGS ,GO ON VACATION.

We stayed at the Town Center two weeks ago. The facility was very nice, but the staff and check in were miserable. At check in, you had to see seven different people before you got your keys. Big delays existed between each step. From the note on our villa when we checked in, the room was ready about 1 1/2 hours prior to them telling us at the front desk that it was available--which was well after the 4pm check in time. Management needs a change at this resort as anyone could improve this process in less than a week.
