We had a wonderful stay at Westgate Palace Resort with our family. The rooms were super clean, comfortable, and felt very safe, which gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. The location is fantastic — just a short, easy drive to Universal Studios and close to plenty of great dining options. The convenience made everything stress-free, especially with kids. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Great place to stay close to Universal. Resort is quiet and has a laid back atmosphere. Pool and hot tub area great as well. Only negative I would have is restaurant closes way too early. I would recommend if looking for a great place to stay that is affordable.

We loved our stay here! We never got to experience the pool or hot tub as it closed at 11pm, like every resort and hotel seems to, but it would have been so nice if it was open later after getting in from long days to chill out there with the family.

The staff were accommodating and let us check in early which made our first day smoother. The room was clean, not immaculate but clean, and you're the cleaner during the stay. I was charged $17 for a dish sponge and laundry pod which we used so be aware when using items to clean. Overall, it was good for the price I paid.

Great stay and convenient to most things. Staff was helpful and accommodating when we needed something. Appreciated the shuttle to universal parks, be early when returning because they might pull off minutes before pick up. It would be helpful if they informed at check in that housekeeping is not available for stays less than a week or to know you can leave your trash outside your door when needing it picked up. All in all we had a great trip and stay. I would stay again

Absolutely beautiful and clean facility. The pool is heated so it was perfect for fall weather. I loved that availability was open even though we arrived too early for check in. The room was amazing!!!!! We slept so comfortable. The tiny little detail I would upgrade is to have plugs for chargers in each room. There were plenty of plugs just none in one of the bedrooms. We will definitely be back here! We loved it!
