Westgate South Beach Oceanfront Resort

I’m going to preface this review by saying that I’m very picky when staying in hotels so these issues may not bother those who aren’t too picky. My parents were once Westgate owners so I’ve been staying at Westgate properties since I was a child. When I found out there was a Westgate in South Beach, I decided to book here. I did read a few reviews first. Upon walking in the front door, the lobby smelled like a freshly cleaned bathroom. Once we checked in and walked to our rooms, I noticed the carpet wasn’t very clean and the hallways didn’t smell fresh. We were traveling with our minor and adults kids so we had two rooms. Our adult kids’ room looked fine upon walking in. When we walked in our room, the first thing I noticed were the popcorn ceilings. I also noticed that there was evidence of several prior ceiling leaks. Our room was kind of muggy. The air didn’t feel fresh. The lighting through is very dim. I like bright lighting. Also the carpet wasn’t visibly dirty, but we wore white socks when walking in the suite and our socks were filthy by the end of the day. In our kids’ room, the air wasn’t originally turned on and the temp got up to 86 degrees. They were told to turn it on

The resort was very clean and everyone was really friendly; especially an older gentlemen who helped my husband and I with our bags the first night. He really made sure we were taken care of, telling us about the free transportation, price-friendly places, and just offering hospitality. I was told they just remodeled and it looked like it. Everything was REALLY modern in my room; looked very up to date. The appliances (big and small), pots, furniture, even with the rain head shower - everything was perfect. The only thing that sucked was the people in the room above me, sounding like everyday they were constantly running miles in their room and banging on everything they could find. That is not a reflection of the resort though. My phone in the living area was having some issues, but I really did not care considering there was another phone in the bedroom and I wasn't getting any calls. I am really happy with Westgate and will definitely go back sometime in the future. For the best experience, I recommend staying on the third floor, where you will not hear anyone above you.

Room was beautiful. Pool was very clean and 9 feet deep. Housekeeping comes in every day for making bed, getting trash and exchanging towels. Bed was very comfortable and had down pillows. Nice deep Jacuzzi type tub. Kitchen had all the necessities. Small Oven, 4 burner electric stove, full size fridge, microwave and dishwasher. Can't wait for the next time I'm here.
