Westgate Resorts
Points allocation with lock-off weeks — and a tough exit reputation.
The Overview
Westgate operates a points-allocation timeshare: owners buy a set number of points to book Westgate properties, with some purchasing 'lock-off' weeks that can be split or traded for annual usage. Points can be exchanged for non-Westgate resorts through affiliated networks like RCI, and annual maintenance fees can sometimes be applied as travel credits. Locations are appealing, but Westgate carries some of the industry's most persistent complaints about aggressive sales and difficult cancellation.

The Bottom Line
