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
