Pool was very nice but the hot tub had scum line in it that got on our clothes. We had a very nice two bedroom with kitchen. It had a stack washer and dryer and all the detergents to use it. Overall the resort was very nice.

We loved it. The staff was amazing. It was one of the cleanest places we've stayed. I gave it just 4 stars on condition. The unit we stayed in, A803, was very very clean but i can only assume it was used by the owner as a money maker. The unit has a very worn couch, it was the only place to sit in the living room. The shower was lackluster. The dryer didnt work well. We couldnt use it. We will DEFINITELY stay at Westgate Palace again, but ask for a unit other than A803.

Our first morning there (3/30) we smelled smoke in our room and it was a little hazy in the hallway. It was quite unnerving being on the 15th floor. My husband went to the lobby and I called the front desk. They said the fire department was “doing testing” and not to be alarmed. If that was the case, a heads up would’ve been nice. As we were watching the news shortly after, there was a fire at a nearby building. Not sure why there was a need to lie about it. Other than that, it was an enjoyable stat

Everything this hotel claims to have…it doesn’t! The rooms or “suites” are extremely small and poorly designed, they claim to be under staffed which would be acceptable if they notified you of this before booking, no bars were open, no restaurants,no food, your offered a vending machine with 6.00 bottle of waters and chips, no music or entertainment. Not a place for families horrible hotel

We were constantly delighted with how conveniently located the hotel was: across the street from Pirate Dinner Adventure, minutes from Universal with a free shuttle and minutes from Sea World. The pool is large and clean, the room was clean and the kitchen was very convenient. When we checked in, we noted the room didn’t have a frying pan or cookie sheet, so we called the front desk and they sent them up for us quickly. We had a wonderful vacation.

no housekeeping, the on-site restaurant was closed until "maybe summer," and the shuttle to Universal runs once per day and was fully booked before we even checked in. Yet somehow, they still charge a "resort fee" despite not even having basic hotel amenities. On top of all this, the rooms were not updated and far from clean. Would not stay here again.

Checkin process took forever. Assuming they use an old system. No point in doing pre check in on app with uploading ID and cc because you had to do it again at the front desk. Very few amenities since they considered this month off season. No restaurant bar and grill. Very minimal hours for Starbucks and convenient store. Rooms were very spacious and stocked with kitchen and cleaning supplies. Dishwasher, laundry machines, etc. Great location.

The property is close to universal and attractions. The views was amazing from the room with universal in the background plus a beautiful lake. The gym and pool is nice. The property is renovated but it seems to be missing something. Stay at the property to figure out what’s missing. Maybe the paint was interesting or the hall ways seems outdated. Besides that the stay was great. It is gated creating a safe location. The parking is interesting bc you have to park offsite and shuttle to property. I recommend party music at the pool and the bar to open back up.
