As far as entertainment goes we had fun and there is plenty to do for a short stay. A few things to watch out for and know up front. Once you’re on property they know there is nothing close by so prices on everything are premium. When we showed up we were told we were VIP and we would get a free golf cart or tickets to the rodeo. However, there’s a catch you have to attend a 90 min sales presentation for Westgate time share sales. When I showed up for the tour my wife was attending church (Sunday morning at 9 am) and we had plans for the rest of the day, they did try to find another time, but our schedule did not allow it. I offered to stay and take the tour/sales pitch (I was actually interested) they immediately used the free golf cart as collateral to get both of us in the presentation. Long story short, attitudes turned sour really quick. I never asked for the free golf cart and didn’t mind paying for it but the way it was handled could use a little work. The paperwork did say we both had to be there in their defense, but it could have been handled a bit friendlier, I also noticed that a lot of the workers were indifferent and didn’t have the best attitudes, although there was a few folks that showed some real enthusiasm (most of the tour guides were great). I would say to Westgate they need to work on training their employees, we are paying a premium so service with a smile is expected. They did end up billing me for the golf cart.

Everything on this resort cost money. I’ve been to resorts and the same thing was true. But not at these prices. It’s a nice resort and a clean resort but not a whole lot to do if you’re not willing to spend a couple hundred dollars every few hours. Particularly the swamp buggy ride. Between two families we spent $400. Only to find out they don’t guarantee any swamp. So you’re basically taking a ride around a whole bunch of grasslands that are dry. It is the most ridiculous activity I have ever been on. When I asked for some type of compensation Lisa the manager refused to acknowledge that we never were aware there was no water involved in the swamp ride. She continued to talk about the vehicle is used in other excursions like mountain rides. We had no idea that we were in charge of doing our own research when deciding to spend money to go on a swamp ride where you’re not actually in a swamp. It’s really less about the activity and more about how management handled it. Lisa was super condescending and snarky. Soon, there will be no customers because of our economy, so you would think it is important to keep who you have happy.

The grounds & room very nice. Check in S/B a nice experience. Was supposed to be at 4 didn't get room until 7:30. Said would text me, did not receive. The dudes were not friendly and even condescending, the girls however seemed willing to help. Different prices for rooms on different days. I booked mine 2 weeks before my son and his was cheaper. Same with rodeo prices. In office more than at gate. Need to be consistant. Restaurant was booked. Said they were over booked and under staffed. Thank goodness we brought food with us. Many others complained as well.

Had a great time at the rodeo!! I was so engrossed with the riders, I forgot to take pictures!! It was so exciting to see the bull and bronco riders and holding your breath when they got bucked off hoping no one got hurt!! The clowns (yes, they had clowns!) did a great job protecting the riders!! They also had young ladies doing stunts on their horses....like hanging off the saddle while the horse was running around the arena!!! Another young lady rode 2 horses standing up with a foot on each horse's back!! There was also a cowboy doing rope tricks. The whole event was very patriotic from the singing of the National Anthem to riders racing around the arena with flags reading GOD BLESS THE USA!! What a night!! We ended it by listening to music in front of the saloon watching everyone line dance!! Lots of fun!!!

$45.00 for camping, check website page👍🆗

You pretty much have to pay for everything you do. It can get costly. I highly recommend renting the golfcar, very useful to get around. It's a big property to walk from one place to another. But as one of the other people responded, if you go to their website, you can find all the info there.
Our adventure park pass is $49 for adults and $35 for children ages 5 - 12, this includes bungee jumping, bounce house, zip lining and miniature golf. Please view our website for more information.
