This place is so beautiful and so friendly! The building we stayed in was only 2 weeks old so everything was new! We needed extra blankets and all we did was text and it was at our door! Westgate has got it down! Several pools and the onsite restaurant was so good for breakfast and dinner. Definitely will be coming back!!!!
