Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo Reviews & Ratings

Great place for relaxing, nice and quiet. There’s a beautiful view off the porch. I sat out there with coffee in the AM and beautiful sunsets in the evening. Everything is included in the kitchen. The rodeo on the weekend is a lot of fun. We got together with neighbors for bonfires. Everyone is so friendly! I love this place and look forward to coming back! Camp Mack is nearby. They have great music on the weekends and the pizza is fabulous! They also have fishing and airboat rides! There’s plenty of stuff to do on site and off! There’s a grocery in Lake Wales and great restaurants if you don’t want to cook.

A premium holiday week at a resort that consistently delivers unforgettable family memories.

This is a full service resort. 2 bedroom - has bathroom in each bedroom with small kitchen in second bedroom. Neat and clean. Lots of amenities: horseback riding, archery, skeet shooting, a marina, rodeo, lots more look online. Plus close to Legoland, Seabring, Bok Towers (gardens)

This is the perfect place for a family vacation.........for those parents that are tired of doing the "Disney thing" and WANT their children to DISCOVER and ENJOY nature and playing outdoors. Each cabin stands alone and has a 3-sided wrap-a-around porch with rocking chairs, sleeps a minimum of 10, has 3 baths, 3 televisions/VCR, and a full kitchen. So-o-o-o much to do during the week: horseback riding, petting zoo, golf, tennis, basketball, pool, miniature golf, and fishing. The weekends are even MORE eventful: haywagon rides, airboat rides, glade buggy rides, Saturday night RODEO, Western saloon with live music and line dancing...........YEHAW!!!!!

There's a General Store for last minute purchases and very reasonable casual restaurant on-site (Sunday buffet is a real value)........and, for those that need a "Wal-Mart fix", there's one about 30 minutes away!

All of this within about an hour's drive south of Orlando............so, why not stay here, RELAX and ENJOY your hard-earned vacation in the peace and quiet of the country and tell the kids "we'll go to Disney for only ONE day this year." P.S. This is a "dog friendly" timeshare!

This place has been completely updated and the timeshares here are brand new. This place hops Friday-Sunday and is very quiet Monday-Thursday. Kids will love the dude ranch theme.

Until this resort is brought up to standard, it is a dive. Nothing to do during the week and dirty.
