Westgate Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Resort

Location: Frequently praised for proximity to beaches, restaurants, and shopping, with some mentioning "walking distance to the beach" or "perfect location."

Really enjoyed our stay. The staff was excellent and I appreciated the text service for check out. Check out was so easy. I think I will try the suite next time. Lots of activities for the kids. Room was clean and air conditioner worked well. Nice balcony.

We did not stay at the property which looked very nice--actually wonderful and I would probably like to stay there.. This is a review of the Timeshare presentation and the terrible experience we had there. We stopped at a "Myrtle Beach Welcom Center" on our way into Myrtle Beach--about an hour out. It turns out that this "Welcome Center" was simply nothing more than a Westgate Timeshare promotion location. We talked with the folks there and told them our plans and they said that we could get $125 gift card and a 3-day, 2-night stay at a Westgate property in Myrtle beach simply for attending a 90 minute presentation. The promo agent told us that it would be a 90 minute time committment. The presentation started at 9am and would go until 10:30am. We figured that for a short time committment, it was worth it although we have done these before and know what to expect. We also liked the free stay that was promised at one of the properties because we would like to go for a weekend from time to time. We have 3 kids, 19. 18. and 14 so they all want their own beds if not rooms and most of these "free" stays we have encountered are for 2 adults and 2 children. The promo agent assured us that this trip giveaway would have no problem with 5 people, 4 of them adults, and that we could request a condo that would sleep 6. So, having covered all the bases, we paid the $20 deposit to make sure we would really show up and went on our way. On Saturday morning, we arrived at the presentation site and waited until after 9:30 before our sales agent took us to a breakfast area. We got breakfast from the buffet and talked to her about how we like to travel, likes and dislikes, etc. We told her that we were told we would be her for 90 minutes and we were expecting to be done by 10:30. She just brushed that aside and said she would hurry. After breakfast, we went to another room where the actual sales presentation started. It was now 10:15. Again we told ouy sales agent that we were planning to be out by 10:30 and she just kept going. We were polite but getting frustrated. To make matters worse, she would NOT tell us how much money was involved for us to buy. When we pressed her on the time, she told us that we had agreed to a 90 minute presentaton AND a tour of the property. Neither breakfast nor the tour was part of the 90 minutes and the presentation had started at 10:15. Had I known that, we would have gladly skiped breakfast and just got on with it, but in reality, breakfast was where she was gathering sales ammo (I am in sales--we call them pings) info she could use later in trying to close the sale--so it really was part of the sales process. We took the tour, rushing her on as quickly as possible. We finally got back to the sales room at 11:15. We told her we were very frustrated at how long this had taken and wanted to get out ASAP. She said she needed to call her manager for the final step. We waited another 15 minutes for a man
