Consensus from Around the Internet
Westgate Resorts began in the garage of David Siegel as Central Florida Investments, (CFI) but has since grown to become the largest privately-held timeshare company in the entire world. While the company has achieved titanic business status, the organization has long been the subject of consumer outrage, which can be most explicitly seen in online Westgate timeshare reviews. There are many websites that allow consumers to submit timeshare reviews, and the aggregate of these reviews relates to an overall score that determines an online presence and reputation for the company. While no one Westgate timeshare review can determine an accurate depiction of the company, the sum total tell a very frightening story, one that should drive many potential timeshare owners away from this company.
David Siegel has recently come under fire from employees, consumers, and other activists for his announcement that he would fire employees if Obama was elected. No matter one’s political views, this is seen as a coercion tactic to perhaps sway his own employees into voting for Romney, because their own livelihoods depend on this. Westgate Resorts employs over 6,500 people across the United States, with an annual revenue stream of nearly $1 billion. Needless to say, there are many employees out there who are frantic on this election day, and we will see if Mr. Siegel carries through on his imposing threats. While recent Westgate Timeshare Reviews have focused on this piece of information and have a taken a downturn in recent months, their online reputation was never glowingly positive. In fact, Westgate timeshare reviews have been some of the most devastatingly negative for the entire online community, and this began long before Mr. Siegel’s inflammatory remarks.
There have been many events over the course of Westgate’s history that has lead to such negative Westgate timeshare reviews. In 2009, Westgate Resorts was found guilty of violating the United States Telemarketing Rule in United States of America versus Westgate Resorts Ltd. Siegel had to pay a $900,000 settlement, and many Westgate timeshare reviews had complained of their telemarketing practices before this case was brought to light. Westgate Resorts was found guilty primarily on the charge of violating stipulations of the national “do not call” register. This was the largest subject of consumer outrage in Westgate timeshare reviews for quite some time, but it certainly has not been the last.

Recent Westgate Timeshare Reviews
Westgate Timeshare Reviews
Westgate timeshare reviews have not been flattering in recent days, even discounting those that focus on David Siegel’s recent election-based threats towards his employees. In fact, many of the recent Westgate timeshare reviews are based against these employees, who are often accused of bullying and pressuring consumers into purchasing their timeshares.
“We got three different people who came to our table and asked us over and over to buy some property that we NEVER even saw. I was so disappointed with this behavior and will NEVER tour with them again. They got mad and even rude with us for not buying what they had to offer but couldnt explain why everyone else got a tour and we didnt.”

While many Westgate timeshare reviews complain of similar interactions with disorganized and pushy sales people, the majority complain of actions that were taken after the contract was signed. Many consumers claim that Westgate Resorts is involved with timeshare fraud and make it a regular practice to scam their clients.
“The shower leaks, the toilet runs all night long, and the dishwasher leaks. I called maintenance and even talked to owner services - no fix and no new room. I repeat: if you are an owner, get everything in writing. When you make a reservation, have them send it to you in what actual building you will be in. I can't believe this is really happening. I can go on about once you're an owner, you're treated like **.”

While no singular Westgate timeshare review tells the entire story of the company, the aggregate score and overall online reputation is staggering. Through research into user-based online reviews, Westgate Resorts will have to make major changes in order to negate their building reputation with the consuming public. This is especially true if David Siegel’s threats are carried out, and they will fire their employees based on the results of the national election.
