The staff was amazing. Shout out to the young lady at the activity center Thursday March 20th who closed. You can tell how much she loves her job. Super friendly and great customer care. Juan at Smokehouse was phenomenal. He does make his food with love. I wish I remembered names but everyone we encountered had smiles on their faces and looked genuinely happy to help. Things we were disappointed in were having nothing to do after 6pm. We did not realize nighttime activities are scarce during the week. Very disappointing. Also, the prices for pretty much everything were exhorbitant. You have the monopoly on everything because there is nothing for miles where one could go to get food or necessities or any restaurants off property. This is not the place to vacation on a budget as literally everything has an extra cost.

We had a wonderful time celebrating our twins’ birthday at Westgate River Ranch. The Luxury Glamping accommodations were perfect for a family for us. We enjoyed all the different activities and loved the Saturday night Rodeo!

After paying $500 a night the only activity that was included was the "petting farm" You have to pay extra for everything else. Breakfast was coffee and cold donuts and cake.

Stayed here for 3 nights over a weekend. Enjoyed all the activities booked - horse riding, rodeo & the air boat and the surroundings of the property. Limited food options on site so would advise bringing snacks or bits to cook if you don’t want meat, chips or pizza. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others to experience.

Was our first time visiting this place. I was excited about it because I always wanted to visit it. Place is nice, clean the rooms may need some upgrades, but nothing extreme. I thought that because it is a resort some of the activities were included. We had a great time, but I don’t think we will come back.
