“Nice activities. Hotel needs work.”

When we checked in they informed me that there were no bottom floors available and put us on a second floor (room 237). THe room was extremely outdated, there were cigarette burns on the... More

Thank you for your review of Westgate River Ranch Resort. We do apologize that you were not able to get the room you wanted-we take requests for room placement, but can not always grant them, depending on occupancy. We are doing comprehensive renovations at River Ranch, but it sounds like you did not get one of those units. We regularly... More

“Weekend with family and friends”

Such a nice place, grounds are clean and very well kept. Activities were great for families - we have 14 year old and 11 year old and both were entertained. We did horseback riding, rodeo and hayride. Would love to go back!

“WEAR YOUR COWBOY/GIRL HAT”

Reviewed April 17, 2013

It's fun to see the city slickers wobbling around in western boots and hats. During our visit, there were two large groups but the place is so big that you don't feel crowded. There are plenty of activities located all over the ranch including a bare bones golf course adjacent to a pasture of buffalos. The staff is friendly and... More

Reviewed April 8, 2013

We stayed 2 nights in one of the cabins and it was FABULOUS. My kids refused to even call it a cabin...they said, "it's too nice to call it a cabin." The rooms and bathrooms were clean, huge and well maintained. And as an added bonus, they allow DOGS! We loved it. It has PLENTY to keep kids busy and... More

“Great weekend adventure!”

Reviewed April 3, 2013

My 11-year-old daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at Westgate River Ranch. Bought the "Adventure Package" on their website. The price was great -- especially considering the number of activities included in the package. Our Inn Room smelled a little funky when we first opened the door (after all, the property is a working ranch -- near Kissimmee River... More

“room was gross, property beautiful”

Reviewed April 2, 2013

I was so grossed out by my room that it is hard for me to focus on anything else ... but I'll try. This place is out in the middle of nowhere, which can be nice as long as you are prepared. We were 30 mins away when we thought it was time to stop at a grocery store, but... More

“Beautiful, peaceful, relaxing and spotless”

My husband and I just returned from 4 nights at the Westgate River Ranch. We stayed in a one bedroom villa. The pictures on the website are exactly what the villa looked like. It was spotlessly clean, with a very well appointed kitchen and plenty of towels and linens. We had a herd of buffalo grazing right outside our door... More
