Great location to Disney and from family that lives near Coco Beach. If you need to get food for your foom go to walmart which is about 5 to 10 mins away. Also the Largest Mac donalds ia within mins. Stayed at the Resort from July 4 to the 7.

Beds were comfortable. Air conditioning was great and easy to control. Washer and dryer in unit was convenient. Pool was nice, but lacked an outdoor jacuzzi, but the Master bath had one. Enjoyed the sauna room near pool very much. Kids enjoyed the ping pong table off of the pool deck, feeding the ducks, and convenience of drinks and food at pool area. The location was GREAT if you are going to the new Harry Potter at Universal Resorts, City Walk, restaurants, Prime Outlets for great shopping, and Sand Lake and International Drive restaurants like Fish Bones, Samba Room, Seasons 52, and others. Also very convenient and close to the Mall at Millenia!!! Played golf at the new Waldorf Astoria Rees Jones designed course and LOVED it! Great summer rates too!

I have just stayed at the Westagete Orlando, The rooms are very clean and the pool area is great for kids. We did have a few problems with the apartment, the swipe keys do not work, on a number of occasions we had to go to the desk because we could not get in to the room, this is a bit of a hastle when you are are on the 6th floor and it is a long walk to reception. Room service did not turn up on the last 2 days of our stay, when we comlained they said they could not get into the room. this is not suprising as we had the same problem with the swipe cards. The fire alarm went of at 12.04am on our second night in the hotel and everyone had to go to the carpark, this was a bit of a pain as we have 3 children age 11,9,and 7. The biggest rip off is the internet connection $9.99 per day, most hotels do not charge for internet in the USA but I think the Westgate feel they can rip people off with this charge.

Rooms were clean, sheets crisp, employees mostly polite. Kitchen fully stocked with cooking utensils and washer/dryer was wonderful to have. Air was cold and all other devices worked well (except for two out of three DVD players). It is a timeshare hotel, but we opted to avoid the tour. To do this successfully, try not to talk to anyone in the lobby area for the bulk of your stay. Lake front very nice, especially in the morning and at dusk. Lake contains some nice size fish and does have alligators (really, one should assume any body of water in Florida has at least one gator). Short drive to Universal and you can walk to Wet n Wild and International Drive.

That was the good, here is why I would not stay here again. This is a personal hang up, but none of the rooms have a balcony and the windows do not open, so the rooms have a claustrophobic feeling to them. The pool area is not peaceful, but that isn't because of the guests. The hotel chooses to blast music via outdoor speakers starting at 7:00 am. Coffee with a side of Meatloaf, anyone? My family had to shout in order to speak to one another. The living room area is small, family of four could not all sit comfortably. They put out a continental breakfast, but only for the people taking the time share tour. Saw a salesman tell a little boy getting cereal "No, no, not for you." If they want it that way, then they shouldn't set it up in the general lobby area, should they? No welcome basket, so make sure you have coffee with you before you fall asleep, cause you can't have the coffee in the lobby. Deli food overpriced and sucks anyway, don't eat from there, two of our party became ill. Bar is overpriced, buy your own drinks and liquor. Maid came to clean, but didn't change the sheets or leave replacement towels. Room key never worked correctly. One member of our family was outside the room for 20 minutes trying to get in, maid walked by them giggling. Make sure you have at least four keys to rotate them out because one will work eventually Elevators constantly broken or not functioning correctly, repair man was there five days out of our eight day stay. Charming graffiti and vandalism started appearing towards the end of the stay, but it was handled promptly by hotel staff.
