Building 1 is convenient but loud from road traffic.
Perfect hotel for family or sharing space.
Like a mini apartment. Clean and updated.
No beach view as on road, quick over nighter so didn't even walk to beach. Stay before cruise.
Would stay again. Something to note, check out is at 10am and they are calling you at 10. It's like an hour too early in my opinion.

Extremely friendly staff, clean rooms and unkept grounds. Pool and Tiki staff were highly engaged with the customers and especially with the kids. The lazy river was freezing but the remaining water temperatures were super comfortable. They even had poolside movie night! Walking distance to the beach, shops and restaurants. Parking is horrible especially if you are traveling in more than one vehicle. They give you a parking ticket to display on your dashboard and have you park a few miles away in a random parking lot in a plaza, very weird.

We had great time at the resort. Exceptional services. They are one call an away. Front desk to ride to the resort every one was supper friendly and handled professionally. Pool, whirlpool, Lazy river was fun. It was like family vacation. Evenings all events and tiki bar services were great. Only one thing laundry was shared and most washer and dryer were out of order. It was free for the owners. Exceptional stay and the best vacation time I had at the resort.

I loved my room. It had a booth in it. It was a 2br 2 bath. Its like a whole apartment or condo more so ill say. It was big a d spacious. Didn't get a chance to get in the jacuzzi because the weather outside. They have a lazy pool and a little water park for kids to play in. The resort is not that big just one big rectangle. I didn't like the shrimp because they taste like they came out of a box way too breaded. But the tenders was good. The fries were thin cut bit I had to get them to remake them because it was cooked too hard and tasted old. The second ones came oit and it tasted the same hard and old so I just didn't worry about it. Whenever I needed something they were there to the rescue fast. I actually liked this location as far as the room better than Westgate Orlando on Turkey Lake. They just bigger and ha e more activities.

BEWARE for all those who are promised gifts & perks for signing up for the timeshare -- TLDR it's not worth it.
My wife and I went for a tour of the place and a pitch of the timeshare program. The staff was generally kind, and we were expecting the typical timeshare sales tactics and pitches. We were promised $150 in a visa debit card and a voucher for a free cruise for two with only having to pay for port fees and taxes (approx $200/person). The timeshare presentation was supposed to be about 90 minutes but lasted 120 because they kept trying to come back with "better offers" like a car dealership. Same crap. Once we expressed to the salesperson that we weren't interested in paying for the real estate of a hotel room essentially valued at $2.6 million (which is insane lol), he got passive aggressive. He said we shouldn't have wasted his time if we knew we weren't going to go forward with paying for a timeshare and essentially tried to make us feel stupid for "missing out on the offer." Very professional up until losing his cool in the last 10 minutes.
ALSO the coupon for the "free cruise" has an $100 activation free per every two people who use the coupon, and the port fees & taxes were much higher than the estimated $200 originally stated. Very misleading, which is incredibly epitomised by Westgate's entire business model. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR WESTGATE. Save your money, invest it, or do literally anything else with it. Don't fall for the ploy of "having your money work for you" or "using other people's money ("OPM" lol). It's both a poor investment and essentially multi-level marketing (i.e. legal pyramid schemes).
