I am writing this review to warn others about Westgate. With deceptions and failures, I’ve experienced, it’s clear they misrepresented the value and benefits of their timeshare. The promise of passing the timeshare on to our children without disclosing the inheritance of maintenance fees, coupled with the false assurances that upgrading our unit would increase its value and sale ability, demonstrates a flagrant disregard for honesty and transparency. The constant harassment to purchase additional timeshares, the exorbitant maintenance fees, and the inability to use the timeshare have resulted in nothing but frustration and financial strain. Westgate's portrayal of their timeshare as a prime investment for family vacations has proven to be nothing more than a misleading sales pitch. When we bought the timeshare, we envisioned using it with our family to create amazing memories. However, we quickly realized we weren’t able to use it the way we were told. Vacation dates were rarely available, with most openings falling during the winter months. Westgate presented itself as an investment for family vacations and creating joyful memories, but for my wife and I, it hasn’t lived up to that promise. The constant pressure to buy more timeshares, the difficulty in reselling, the financial strain of maintenance fees, and the inability to use the timeshare have made it clear that it’s better to cut our losses and remove this financial burden rather than pass it on to our kids. When we purchased the timeshare, we were told we could rent it out to help cover this cost, and Westgate would even assist with the process. When we called to inquire about renting it, they informed us that they don’t rent out units or help with the process. It turns out owners are entirely on their own when it comes to renting, with no support or advertising from Westgate. I quickly discovered that renting out a timeshare is far more difficult than they explained during the sales presentation.
