Although we leave in Salt Lake, I decided to book a rental property for a week at the Canyons so we could get out of the heat in the Valley for a while. I had planned to stay the entire week along with my two boys, ages 8 and 10.
We have stayed at different hotels at the Canyons, so we knew our first choice of properties was the Westgate. We like the Westgate because it is the heart and center of the Canyons, plus, it has the best swimming pool. (Huge, warm water, half indoors/half outdoors, ping pong tables, hot tubs, sauna etc.
In the past, however, we had stayed at the Westgate but found the room to be dark and cramped. This time, I was looking for a little more luxe. When this unit came across my radar, completely renovated and much bigger, I jumped on the opportunity.
We were not disappointed. The unit was PERFECT: tons of light, modern, minimalist and clean, with brand new appliances, a huge bathroom with a tub and a shower, a king sized bed and a pull out couch for my boys… even a back patio with sliding glass doors to overlooking a secondary swimming pool. For the first half of the week we enjoyed the features of the property and resort, including the basketball court, (a favorite of my boys,) the pools, an outdoor concert, shopping here and there. We even got into the events hosted by the Westgate activity center, (I won at poolside BINGO and my boys were thrilled to be able to pick one of the cool prizes they offered to winners.something for everyone here
