This resort is small and quaint. Perfect for couples and newly weds. It is in a great location close to every thing but not over shadow with the outside noise. Melissa in the activity room is a gem.to work with.

Rooms are clean and beds are very comfortable. Cannot beat the central location. There were a few minor maintenance issues - one suite’s bathroom door did not close - and minor paint peeling. The welcome and check-in were great - Tony B.- is super helpful. Very pet friendly making this a great choice for the whole family.

I barely enjoyed my stay at the Westgate historical resort. The staff was exceptionally helpful. In addition, the front desk representative Gio was attentive, professional as well as friendly and respectful. I felt like royalty upon checking in. The facility was very well kept and located near a plethora of restaurants, grocery and department stores. I had a delightful vacation of rest and restoration!!

Melissa was wonderful in the activity center. Since Williamsburg is laied back we had time to enjoy high tea and all you could eat waffles. Nice to have family activities to do on down time! That is one thing I love about westgate is the activities. Also the fact they can be different from one resort to another...catered to local customs.
