I recently reported about Silverleaf Resorts and was amazed at the response that I got to it. These guys are definitely scumbags. Googling for them brings up a epinions on the second link. What about Westgate Resorts? They are on the first floor of my building with an office on the second. When I leave work at around 6:30, they are getting started with their day. I can smell the fresh baking cookies as I leave for my car and all the lower middle income people streaming in for some free food, and dreams of sitting by the pool sipping a margarita. Is this a scam? Westgate Resorts is the third largest timeshare company in the U.S. Can a company grow to this size playing it fair. Do they use the same high-pressure sales tactics that timeshares are so well known for. Watch this space as I try and find the answers.

I am 99% sure you work for Westgate, if you were truly an owner and happy why would you search out sites like this,
Shame on you, these poor people got tricked and the only one laughing is David S.
now go away
I got a referral from a owner who is a co-worker and I have already put a deposit for a week stay at westgate in kissimmee in June 09. I know we will not buy, and will not have a problem saying no . Are the resort rooms nice. Are the only problem you have after you purchase the 90 minute presentation.
We didn’t officially buy… or at least I don’t THINK we did. We did get sweet talked (and I’m talking HIGH pressure by 3 different sales people, and a “manager”) into paying $19 a month to “hold our rates”. The real reason we decided to do this is that we’re basically paying for another stay at WLR in Florida. The hotel was gorgeous, well worth the $ we paid through Trvelocity for our honeymoon.
To the rep that says it’s not high pressure— LOOK AROUND YOU. the amount of pressure in that room could burst the ceiling off. It is EXTREME pressure, we were told we’d get divorced if we didn’t take vacations annually!!! ON OUR HONEYMOON!
I’m not going to say this is a scam, because so far we haven’t tried to cash in… I will say it was a nightmare experience and if it weren’t for the ridiculous high pressure, we’d have that $19/mo in our pockets and be spending it on our new house and new baby that deserve it more.
