We really enjoyed our stay at Westgate Palace Resort. The location is excellent — close to Universal parks, yet quiet and comfortable. The rooms are very spacious and perfect for families.
We especially liked the fully equipped kitchen, which made our stay much more convenient. Overall, it is a great choice for comfort, space, and proximity to Universal.
The most fun at a place we had in our stays in Orlando. Hot tub, heated pool, and basketball court. Food at hotel is better than even the nearby restaurants and prices are amazing. I highly recommend this if you are staying with teenagers because there is plenty for them.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The staff was friendly and very helpful! Room was well equipped with tools you’d need for a family stay such as a washer & dryer, a toaster, pots & pans, etc. Westgate has a forever customer out of me!
The room Was excellent, exactly what we were expecting given that we are a family of adults and we all needed our space it was nice to have that. Room was clean and every time we had a request we got the service quick, we didn’t encounter many staff members but the ones we did were always nice and helpful, if we come back to Orlando in the future i will definitely consider Wesgate Palace
For our stay.
