Westgate Park City Resort & Spa Reviews & Ratings

Stayed in a 2 bedroom suite in December, 2003. Very nicely appointed suite with one Br lockoff feature. The master suite has a jacuzzi tub and a steam, sauna shower. My room was right next to the slopes at the Canyons. So close, I could hear the diesels engines of the grooming machines run all night. The rooms that are not slopeside, look out to a pleasant view of the valley below.

The decor was pleasing. Earthtone paint and carpet with attractive custom made fixtures suitable for a lodge environment. There was a nice tile floor and cabinets were maple with granite countertops. The kitchen was very well stocked. Everything you need except a sponge. Great set of knives. Coffeepot. Toaster. Microwave. Electric stove. Dishwasher. Very nice kitchen. I cooked in most evenings, and every breakfast.

The unit had a stacked washer and dryer with soap. Very convenient. TV with VCR. DVD player on request. Small balcony. Fiireplace. Leather sofa and loveseat. Very nice room.

The skier service department was well run. There's a locker room and a ski storage area near the slopes. They provide valet service and wheel your skies, boots out on a cart. I did not use this service since I skied Deer Valley which was only 10 minutes away. The front desk will arrange to shuttle skiers to either Deer Valley or Park City for the asking. Other areas further away like Snowbird or Alta are by private ski shuttle which costs $28.

There is a deli on site which was very convenient. I had the front desk arrange a shuttle down the hill to the local grocery store where I stocked up on one week's worth groceries. Still I used the Deli off and on. They were just adding a Pizza Hut when I left.

You do not need a car when staying in Park City. The airport shuttle to the resort costs $29 one way. There are also free city busses which run between all three resorts, and the main street shopping and dining area. The Westgate is located Very close to the outlet mall in Park City. A great place to buy outdoor gear, boots, etc. Also has a nice discount bookstore and standard outlet stores: gap, nike, liz clayborne etc.

The Canyons area is a little far out from the hub of Park City. However I would still stay there and relax in the comfort and convenience. Taking the shuttle over to the other areas was not a big deal. And Deer Valley allows you to store your skies and boots and the main lodge overnight for free.

While staying at Westgate Lakes in Orlando, Florida during Memorial Day Weekend in 2000, I attended their sales presentation (I was already an owner at Westgate Towers in Kissimmee, Florida). I agreed to lock-in the price for two years and purchase the right to use a week during that period.

At the time I considered purchasing additional timeshare ownership privileges, I lived in the Chicago area. Since that time, I moved to Oregon. For Memorial Day Weekend in 2002, we drove to Westgate at the Canyons, after spending a couple of hours in Wendover, Nevada.

The resort was nearly empty, as were the two adjacent resort complexes. Other than hiking, there was little to do at the Canyons during my stay. The unit was exceptionally nice, however, the pool was under construction, and CFI (the developer) did not make arrangements to use the pools at the surrounding resorts.

I believe this is a wonderful place to stay during the winter. However, the resort definately needs an activities director for the remainder of the year.

Rude staff, and amemities that would be nice if they were open.

On the surface, this has everything one might want. *It's only on the surface* I have never been treated so poorly, or offended so much in my life!

MY WIFE AND I SPENT A WEEK IN WESTGATE,THE CANYONS, UTAH IN JAN 03. WE WERE THE FIRST ONES TO OCCUPY THE TIME SHARE, EVERYTHING WAS BRAND NEW!! ALL YOUR NEEDS FROM SKI RENTAL, SHOPS, RESTAURANT, EVEN A CONVIENENCE STORE ARE IN THE COMPLEX. THE STAFF WILL GRACIOUSLY TAKE CARE OF YOUR EVERY NEED, INCLUDING SKI TRANSPORT. THEY HAVE A LIMO SERVICE THAT WILL TAKE YOU AND YOUR SKIS TO ANY OF THE THREE RESORTS LOCALLY SITUATED. THERE IS ALSO AN EXCELLENT MUNICIPAL BUS SYSTEM THAT CAN DO THE SAME TOLL FREE. THE LIMO IS FREE ALSO BUT GIVE THEM A GOOD TIP. SOME OF THE DRIVERS CAN BE QUITE ENTERTAINING,GO, YOU'LL LOVE IT.

This is the newest and probably the best and most well appointed resort in Utah. It is truly 5 stars. Units are beautifully appointed: granite in the kitchens and stone tastefully applied. Units have a steam/shower plus two person Jacuzzi bath. Valet ski service where they walk your skiis to the lift! Great restaurant and very helpful staff. I could not ask for more.
