Westgate Branson Woods Resort Reviews & Ratings

We love this resort! It's in the heart of Branson, near all the shows and entertainment. The property is beautiful and well maintained. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Overall, it's a wonderful place for a family vacation!

We have owned for 20 years now and purchased this awesome unit before it was even built. We were so impressed with the whole complex and Westgate's vision for vacationers and how to treat them. This to us was our first five star accommodation and have been spoiled since then. Hopefully you will enjoy it as much as we have.

I stayed at this location with family members last year and it was great. We went to RezaEdge of Illusion show (which was awesome), Legends in Concert and the Showboat (Branson Belle). You will not regret going to Branson. There are a lot of fun things to do.

Beautiful resort in the heart of downtown Branson, MO. Beautiful views, lots of activities for couples and families on the property and just a little bit up the road. Resort has an indoor water park, lots of other activities for adults and children. Resort is kept very well, staff is really nice and helpful and the restaurant on the grounds is a great place for comfort food or to go get a drink and watch whatever games are on TV. Rooms are comfortable, internet works great and if it’s not in the room everything you need is still available by making a quick call downstairs. Branson strip is a stones throw away and has so much available for families.

Branson is our favorite vacation spot. We have been going since our kids were babies. We love Westgate Branson Woods. It is in a great location. It doesn't feel like you're staying in the middle of everything. The resort is quiet, full of trees and nature. Just beautiful. But the resort is located central to the main strip for shows and activities. Branson Landing is only a few minutes drive. The resort staff are very friendly and helpful. We have always felt like we were treated like family. The amenities are wonderful. There is an ice cream shop and pizzeria. We enjoy being able to grab a snack or forgotten toiletries in the convenient store.

We always plan a stay on the resort and chill day. But need to entertain the kids. We enjoy that all the fun outdoor activities are located near each other; 9 hole mini golf course, basketball and volleyball courts, gym, playground, and indoor pool. Now that our girls are older we can enjoy hanging out in the pavilion or by the fire pit while the kids play.

Evenings we spend attending the various activities offered by the resort or we stop by the Activities Center to pick up games and crafts to take back to our room.

This resort has an outdoor pool for summer use and an indoor pool also. it has a hot tub that my family used whenever we were there. The unit has always been clean and pleasant. Staff treats me like they know me and are very friendly. The onsite marketplace is great. If you are looking for quiet this is the place. It is peaceful with no distractions from traffic.

We have stayed at Branson Woods several times and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. Rooms are spacious and always clean. The amenities available always keep our family busy.

Very nice resort, located in prime area of all the activities in Branson, yet tucked away just enough for privacy. Very clean modern features with comfortable sleeping arrangements.

If anything is needed or requested it is always handled promptly. Marketplace is convenient. Daily activities and many amenities.

Clean and beautiful newly-remodeled condo. Great customer service, fantastic location and beautiful grounds with lots to to do for the family.

Great location for shows food and site seeing. Off the busy path with privacy and amenities Newer building that the one pictured with better features.

This is a great place for a family vacation. The resort is in Branson, Missouri with many great family oriented activities and shows available in Branson or nearby.

We stayed at this resort during Spring Break 2003 and will return in June 2004. The weather was perfect at the end of March and Silver Dollar City even was open. The units are very comfortable and the grounds are wonderful--it seems you are in the country, but you're just blocks from the action. The free activities offered by the management are very worthwhile. We were so impressed we bought our second timeshare, which we vowed never to do.

We had a gorgeous 2 bedroom lockout unit overlooking a pond. This was one of the largest units I've stayed in and we own three timeshares in various places. Our DVD player didn't work and they brought a new one immediately. Beds were comfortable and unit was very clean. The location was perfect. It was convenient to everything but you do need a car. There were a lot of shows to see and do the Ziplining in Wolfe Creek if you are able. Our favorite attraction was Shephard of the Hill which is based on a story based on real people of the Ozarks and was what brought tourism to Branson.

The area caters to seniors but there were a number of families as well and plenty to keep all ages busy. Oh, if you fly, come into the smaller airport in Hollister. It's only 10 minutes from Branson as opposed to an hour

We stayed here 4th of July week, and were very impressed with the large size and convenient arrangement of the unit. The livingroom was huge as was the dinning room, and the kitchen was nicely laid out and well equiped. The master BR had a comfortable kingsize bed, and the washer dryer set up was an additional plus.

We fell in love with the Branson area and even bought a floating week at Cedar Ridge through Redweek.com. Grand Vista has recently sold the resort to the Westgate Group so were expecting even bigger and better things happening at this resort. For quiet and comfort in beautiful surroundings this place earns its Gold Crown rating

Westgate bought more acreage and will be expanding into over 200 acres. Plans to build an indoor water park and additional log cabin style units add to the rustic feel of this resort but with all the amenities. Resort was quiet. We had a one bedroom garden unit which was very spacious. It included a dining room, large efficiency kitchen with a huge breakfast bar, nice living room with fireplace -- open floor plan. The bedroom was spacious with a king bed and marble bathroom including a jacuzzi tub. I loved the large screened porch off the living room which had a table and chairs. Branson Woods is now our home resort. We just loved it. Our unit was very clean. I wouldn't hesitate to recomend Branson Woods!

My family and I stayed here the last week in July. This resort is hard to rate because some things are good and some are bad.

First the good. The 2-bedroom unit was large and had a nice screened-in balcony, a nice large shower in the bathroom, and a good- sized kitchen. The service staff was very friendly and we enjoyed the outer-door pool. The location is great and the nature trail is very nice.

Now the bad. Although the service staff was friendly, they were very disorganized. We literally had to see 5 different people about getting tickets to "Ride the Ducks". Friends of ours who were staying in a one-bedroom non- smoking unit had cigarette smoke coming in through the A/C ducts from the lockout unit, which was also non-smoking. They made 3 complaints about it to the staff and the problem was never resolved. Some of the sales staff, however, was just down right rude. They left several people waiting outside after their appointment time while a sales staff meeting was conducted and became indignant when an old lady from Arkansas said something. The one and only hot tub at the resort is located on a deck of one of the units. Using it would definitely make you feel like you were intruding on the occupants. But it never came to that since the hot tub was cold and the water dirty. You also had to walk a considerable distance from the main pool and clubhouse. The indoor pool was also dirty and had a very strong chlorine odor. The unit, although spacious, was dark and did not have adequate lighting.

This is not a bad resort, and I don’t want to tear it down, but a $21,000 price tag is a hard sell here.

We stayed at Grandvista's Cedar Ridge in May, 2003. Branson is a pleasant place to visit - plenty to do, with or without children. The unit was lovely and included a jacuzzi tub in master bath. We loved the screened balcony for morning coffee.

The shows are enjoyable and the concierge at the resort is very helpful in this regard. I do wish there were more hiking trails at the resort, but it is a nice (short) walk to the falls.

I think Silver Dollar City may be overrated (and rather expensive for a family), but the Branson area shows are worth while and they are not all 'country'.

I would rate the resort a '5 star' ; it was quiet, very clean, roomy, well appointed and had easy access to outlet malls and shows.

We felt the sales staff could have kept closer to the 90 minutes they promised, but at least our sales person had humor, which helped.

The best kept secret in Branson. A beautiful resort with a great staff, good activities and the BEST location for getting around town. Get anywhere in town with out getting on busy HYW 76. We particularly like the last week of October to see the fall in northern AK. Some shows are dark then as it is their change of season week, but it is easy to get into the ones that are open.

Our stay was wonderful. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Our unit was very comfortable and nicely decorated. Resort activities where the best, with food and entertainment. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Would certainly stay there again.

We stayed the same pre-Labor Day week (#34) in both 2002 and 2003 at Grandvista's Cedar Ridge at the Woods.. we like this week in Branson.. the kids are back in school.. the traffic is less congested.. the shopping and shows are more easily available..

We stayed in a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 2- level, screened balcony, lock-out unit... the recent prior reviews well state my opinion and observations... spacious, clean, comfortable units... competent, friendly staff for registration, housekeeping and maintenance... great location with good access to the theaters and shopping via secondary roads.. attractive, well maintained, clean grounds... a varied and interesting activities schedule including the bluegrass fiddle session, owner/exchanger dinner with show review, ice cream parties, breakfast buffet, etc..

I think that Branson is a WONDERFUL travel destination.. a great variety of shows that are well performed, wholesome family entertainment, entertainers that appreciate their audience and are accessable for meeting and greeting, wonderful vistas, interesting natural attractions, Sunday morning religious services in the theaters, recognition of our military veterans... as Yakov would say.. 'what a WONDERFUL country!!!' I rate the city and the resort a 9.. Joe Tragesser
