Westgate South Beach Oceanfront Resort

The Westgate is convenient to the beach, boardwalk and bike path and it had a heated pool so those are a plus but for the cost we could have done much better.

It is in an older building that they tried to update but you can feel the warped floors under the carpet. One of the main issues was noise. You can hear everything from the rooms around you. The first two days we told the front desk about the banging and loud footsteps from the room above us and they said they would talk to those guests. Then we realized they were not really doing anything other than just walking and closing doors. We felt bad because we probably were bothering them with our moderate volume TV. Next is parking. It costs $42 a day to park with them. When we checked in I asked about self parking and was told they had none. I was told there is metered parking but body language and tone made me feel like that would be risky so we opted for them to park our car. If we had known about that additional cost we would have stayed somewhere else. Also we were told to call down 10 -15 min before we needed our car. Turned out to be closer to 20 - 25 minutes. Last is that it is a timeshare and since we are not owners, everything cost more. We felt pressured for the first few days to attend their briefing even though we said no several times. Eventually they did stop asking.
