What to Expect at the Westgate Presentation (an honest, step-by-step guide)

If you're looking at a $99 Westgate package and wondering "what's the catch?" — that's a fair question, and the answer is simple and no secret: the package includes a 90 to 120 minute presentation about Westgate's vacation ownership options during your stay.

This guide exists so you know exactly what to expect, with no surprises.

Why does the presentation exist?

It's simple: Westgate subsidizes the package price in exchange for your time — showing you the resort and its vacation ownership options. That's how they're able to offer a 4-day / 3-night stay for $99 instead of the regular price (which on some of our packages is over $600). Without the presentation, the price would be that of a normal hotel booking.

What happens, step by step

1. Normal check-in at the resort, like any guest.
2. The presentation gets scheduled for some point during your stay (you pick the time slot from the available options).
3. The presentation runs 90 to 120 minutes — it includes a tour of the resort and a conversation about Westgate's vacation ownership options.
4. There's no obligation to buy anything. It's your fully informed decision at the end of the presentation.
5. The rest of your stay is free time — pools, spa, restaurants, whatever your specific package includes.

How to prepare

• Both people on the reservation (if traveling as a couple) generally need to attend the presentation together — check the specific terms of your package.
• Bring valid ID.
• Plan your day's itinerary around the 90–120 minute block.
• Decide ahead of time whether you want to listen with an open mind or simply fulfill the requirement — both are valid, and knowing this in advance makes the experience more comfortable.

Is it worth it anyway?

For most of our customers, yes — because the real savings on the package (sometimes over $500 versus the regular price) more than make up for the time spent at the presentation, even if they end up deciding not to buy anything.
