Have never experienced more ignorant, negligent and careless staff before in my life. You have to literally call 10 times, then go to front desk 4 times and beg for a room or pool towel every day, and wait for hours to receive it. And this is just one of many examples. Will never return to any Westgate property, and won't recommend anybody.
