I've never been an owner of a Westgate timeshare, but in most all internet timeshare forums Westgate's reputation is negative and ruthless. Owners SHOULD get preference over ANYBODY ELSE.

Good luck to you in your continuing endeavor even if you have to take it to the highest echelons of Westgate's corporate headquarters. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

My question is why was Westgate able to maneuver a deal to move you to Summer Bay (not a Westgate owned property)?

Thank you for your response and support. Your question is a good one. Unfortunately, Westgate would not answer that question either. Please pass the word along. Thanks again.

Since Westgate bought out our first TS resort, this is not good news! The last time we were in Williamsburg we thought we'd stop and see the Westgate resort there. We were told to come back the next day for lunch and we'd also get an update on Westgate since we were not well acquainted with its structure. Well, we came back. The man who invited us was not there but a lady sat us down and tried to get us to buy into a "real Westgate". This would give us Red status instead of White in choosing weeks. She advised against buying into Williamsburg, however, since it does not have the highest exchange power. And, of course, we'd want one which we ourselves would want to go to--because we'd still have to pay a large exchange fee to visit another Westgate. At that point, we said no thanks and she was done with us. No lunch. No chance to see the resort. Not impressed. MD
