BookVIP Orlando
As travelers we have used BookVIP a few times already. We also had the opportunity for a BookVIP Orlando trip and the is our review.
Before we get started here is one of our BookVIP reviews. Just follow the blue link to our Cancun experience.
With our BookVIP Orlando trip we ended up staying at the Westgate Resort. Things started off a bit rough to say the least.
Westgate Resort Orlando
Westgate resort is one of the timeshares in Florida that you can also just rent for a night or two if they have the availability. We used BookVip for this Orlando timeshare promotion to get a good deal on the room while we decided if a timeshare was right for us.
Lets just say that right off the bat I was a bit concerned with the trip. The very 1st thing that happened is that I got stuck in the elevator while trying to bring the rest of our bags up.
I even shot a video, here it is:
When I finally DID get upstairs I learned that two maintenance men walked in on my girlfriend as she was drawing a bath. My girlfriend is now my Fiancee by the way and she was 100% naked at the time they came in.
Why the room was not ready after letting us check in is a mystery to me and why they would not make an effort to announce their entry to the room is also a surprise.
It was quite frustrating to learn while I was trapped in an elevator that my Fiancee was standing as naked as a jaybird with two strange men.
Here is a pic of the two of us.
Westgate Resorts has three locations in Orlando, you can see them HERE.
I believe we were at the Westgate Lakes resort, the other two are the Westgate Vacation Villas and the Westgate Town Center.
The Room at Westgate Lakes Orlando
As you can see the single bedroom room has plenty of room for two people, a decent sized bedroom and other amenities to make your stay comfortable. Incidentally, the hotel is actually in Kissimmee, Florida but it is still minutes away from theme parks and other attractions.
The upside to our incidents is that the next day, the manager did not make us do the timeshare. To get the BookVIP Orlando deal a presentation is required. Obviously this was not an issue for us.
We have done timeshare presentations in the past. I will say, they are not as bad as some make it out to be. Roughly two hours of your times can save you hundreds of dollars. That is well worth the minimal time investment to me.
Overall BookVIP Westgate Resort Review
Even though we had early mishaps, we had a good time. The room was clean and had plenty of space. The property itself had plenty of amenities and the location makes it easy to hit all kinds of theme parks and attractions.
I would use Westgate Resorts again! Also, check out more $99 vacation package deals.
