🛑 Travel Mythbusters: 10 Common Myths About Resort Vacations — Busted!

Planning a vacation should be exciting, but sometimes myths and misconceptions hold us back from booking the trip of our dreams. Maybe you’ve heard that resorts are too expensive, too stressful, or just not a good fit for your family. Well, we’re here to set the record straight — especially about Westgate Resorts, where comfort, adventure, and affordability come together in the best way possible.

Let’s dive into 10 common travel myths and reveal the truth behind them, so you can feel confident and excited to start packing your bags!

Myth #1: Luxury resorts are only for the rich and famous.

Truth: Think luxury is out of your reach? Think again. Westgate Resorts delivers upscale experiences that don’t come with a sky-high price tag. With spacious suites featuring full kitchens, plush bedding, and resort-style pools, you’ll enjoy all the comforts of home — and then some. Plus, with exclusive discounts and a wide variety of destinations, your dream vacation is more affordable than you might imagine.

Myth #2: Traveling with kids means chaos, not relaxation.

Truth: Parents, we hear you! Traveling with kids can seem overwhelming — but Westgate Resorts are designed to make family travel fun and stress-free. Imagine your kids laughing in splash parks, conquering mini golf courses, or cheering at a live rodeo. Meanwhile, you can unwind poolside with a cocktail or enjoy a quiet moment on your private balcony. It’s the perfect balance of fun and relaxation for the whole family.

Myth #3: All resorts feel the same.

Truth: One size doesn’t fit all — and Westgate gets that. Whether you crave the laid-back beach vibes of Cocoa Beach, the glitzy lights of Las Vegas, the mountain charm of Gatlinburg, or the rustic adventure of River Ranch, each Westgate resort offers a unique setting and experience. Your vacation is tailor-made to your style and mood.

Myth #4: Planning a vacation is too stressful.

Truth: Vacation planning shouldn’t be a headache — and it isn’t with our travel specialists ready to help. From picking the perfect resort to finding the best rates and activities, they guide you every step of the way. Just call, tell us what you want, and let the experts handle the rest.

Myth #5: You have to fly far to find a great getaway.

Truth: Long flights and airport hassles aren’t the only way to travel. With Westgate Resorts sprinkled across the country—from the Ozarks in Missouri to sunny Florida beaches—you can find your perfect vacation spot just a few hours’ drive from home. Spend less time traveling and more time making memories.

Myth #6: Teens and tweens are impossible to entertain.

Truth: We’ve got that covered! Westgate Resorts are packed with activities that keep older kids excited—from high-energy arcades and escape rooms to horseback riding trails and adrenaline-pumping zip lines. They’ll never say “I’m bored,” and you’ll love seeing them light up with fun.

Myth #7: Eating out at resorts will blow your budget.

Truth: With kitchenettes or full kitchens in most suites, Westgate Resorts give you the freedom to prepare your own meals. Pack your family favorites or shop local markets for fresh ingredients and enjoy quality time around the table without the restaurant price tag. Plus, when you do want to indulge, delicious dining options are just steps away.

Myth #8: Resorts are only good for summer vacations.

Truth: Westgate Resorts offer amazing experiences no matter the season. Cozy up in Park City or Gatlinburg with breathtaking winter scenery, enjoy mild spring weather and wildlife sightings in Williamsburg, or bask in sunny poolside afternoons at Myrtle Beach any time of year. The fun and relaxation never take a vacation.

Myth #9: You can’t have comfort and adventure in one trip.

Truth: Why choose? At Westgate, you get both. Picture this: spend your days exploring nature trails, ziplining through the trees, or airboating on Florida’s lakes — then retreat to your spacious suite with plush bedding and all the comforts of home. It’s the best of both worlds, every single day.

Myth #10: Resort vacations aren't for “real” families.

Truth: Real families come in all shapes and sizes—and Westgate welcomes them all. Whether you’re a couple seeking a romantic escape, a family with little ones, or a multigenerational crew, you’ll find a warm, welcoming environment that feels like a home away from home. No pretense, just genuine hospitality.
