Just a heads up they will try to sell you a time share and they are slick with it. They swoop you from station to station in the lobby, secure a $20 deposit to “hold” your spot and your promised $125 cash for 90 minutes of your time. Well 3 hours later and telling them no multiple time I was finally able to leave. Started out with an offer of a 2 bedroom we could use 4 weeks out of the year for $40,000 and $5,000 down not including the $1,600 in maintenance fees. Long story short I was offered a 3 bedroom for $19,000 and zero down plus $1600 in maintenance fees every other year but I was only able to use half the unit 4 time one year and none the next or split it up and use half this year and the other half next year. Such a racket, be prepared when you get there. Oh and by the way, it’s not cash, they give you a gift card for the $125 that says it’s already activated when you open it and the expiration date only has a few months left. The property is quiet and safe, it’s kind of a pain to get to some of the amenities. The “water park” is nice if you have children, not much for just adults to do. The pizza place and the ice cream place are the best food, Drafts was mediocre and the service was horrible. All in all I will not be staying here again and don’t really recommend it.

The property is nice. However, they should not charge for the water park. Since it is minimal, it should either be included for free with the stay or have a one-time charge for the duration of the visit. The staff were very friendly, and the grounds were well-maintained.

I stayed at the west gates when I I was younger and know I’m finally back as an adult. This place hasn’t change much since I remember it, we stayed in the 2600 building fully renovated room it was absolutely wonderful the only downside is if you want room service to come and clean the room they won’t do it if your staying 7 days or less we stayed for a week and needed the floor swept from us eating and such they said they will come and clean for a charge if they know there not going to clean the room they should supply a broom and dust pan in the room for free. If you need something prepared to wait 30 minutes to and hour for it. They are really slow with service here. Over all my experience here is a 8/10 The draft bar has amazing food wish they had a little more iteams on the menu but over all food is amazing

Overall it was a good stay. I would recommend this place especially for the price. I like that they had shuttle service to and from parks. The only negative was that the only way to cut through to my room from lobby was through the pool area. If the pool area was closed due to storms could not go through and needed to walk all the way around. Hotel should add path or leave pool area open with a few closed signs on gates to let people know pool was closed for swimming, but would still allow people to pass through.

My son and I stayed here for our Universal vacation. I was able to buy discounted tickets to the park right on the property. Our room was clean and updated. It looked way better than the out dated photos. The pools are convenient. They have ample parking spaces and I highly recommend renting a car because the villas are driving distance from the check in building. They do offer golf cart pickup to drive you where you need to go on the resort. I didn’t like that the water park wasn’t included with the stay. It’s currently $25/pp. that’s even for children — download the app to get the loyalty discount.
