Orlando Westgate Vacation and Spa

[Dancingfish]

Just did a vacation package (NASCAR) that included 5 days at the Orlando Westgate Vacation and Spa. We did our mandatory visit. Whoa.. they are high pressure. Even after I explained that I own already in Orlando, and I own a vacation home in Fla they still pushed on! Anyway the long and short... they started at $42K and at the end offered $10K. They also had a deal that if you paid your maintenance fees on time they would give the money back in vacation credits to be used at the resort or towards a cruise etc. They also offer owners free use of amenities and vacation packages for $300. (sporting events, concerts etc)
I can see how people would want to be a part of Westgate. They also said they were the oldest and largest. We walked away... but then had to go back because they forgot to give us our $100 gift card

Ask anyone here, we all know Westgate is the worst. The resorts are nice, but the sales staff are extremely high pressure. Then, once you pass the 10-day rescission period, your $42000 purchase is now worth $0.

More like it's worth about -$3,000, which is the price they charge you for the privilege of surrendering the deed (if it's already fully paid off).
