Devonte was the nicest while checking us in, Elizabeth at the universal counter is amazing at her job and was a real hero and the spa ladies were our favorite. Sokie and the ladies need a big raise. Everyone was so sweet, the Starbucks ladies were very nice and always a nice break during the day.

We enjoyed our recent stay at Westgate Lakes. The staff were extremely friendly. Our room was clean and the mattresses were comfy! The onsite shuttles that run every 5 minutes or so were very convenient. We used the free shuttle service to get to Epic Universe. We would definitely stay again!

Customer service was amazing however our first night we had a room with a broken ac.(it happens) They moved us to a different room around 12am. New room was sufficient. Jetted tub was a plus.The balcony door was broke and wouldn’t lock. Just needs a little updating. The food on site was great (drafts sports bar) the pools were clean and over all we enjoyed our stay. We will return.

The best thing I can say about this property is that the staff was friendly and the location was convenient, being close to parks, restaurants, and outlets. Unfortunately, the rest of our stay was disappointing. The bed was uncomfortable, and staying on the first floor meant we heard every step from the floor above. Parking was also a challenge, as there were no spots near our building and we often had to circle for about 20 minutes after a long day out just to find a space. The parking lot was noisy, with people blasting music late at night, and to make matters worse, a representative kept calling about a timeshare, which was frustrating. We also waited nearly 40 minutes at a table before being served, which added to the poor experience. Overall, this was not the best hotel stay, and I would not consider buying a property here. Or staying at this property again

Overall I was excited to stay again at this resort for a second time but will probably not return after we had a “insect issue” that was resolved but didn’t get much credit for… I paid a nice amount of money to stay there so I was a bit disappointed they didn’t extend some type of credit or reimbursement.
