I recently revisited Westgate Vacation Villas Resort in Orlando, a place that continues to feel like an all-in-one paradise for families, couples, and anyone ready to recharge in the Florida sunshine.
With exceptional dining experiences, a whimsical arcade, and one of the best resort water parks in the area, Westgate proves that a vacation can be as relaxing or as adventurous as you want it to be.
Dining Delights
Food is always part of the fun at Westgate, and this resort delivers a delicious variety. At Los Amigos Mexican Grill & Tequila Bar, guests can dive into flavorful classics like carne asada, shrimp tacos, and sizzling chicken fajitas, all complemented by handcrafted margaritas and signature cocktails.
IA colorful and casual eatery, it’s the kind of place where every table feels like a fiesta, and the flavors are authentic, and the margaritas are refreshing and strong.
Meanwhile, Sid’s American Grill keeps things classic with a hearty American-style menu. Think perfectly grilled steaks, barbecue ribs, juicy burgers, and comforting mac and cheese.
Add in a slice of key lime pie or a creamy milkshake, and it’s the kind of meal that satisfies after a long day at the pool or parks.
For lighter bites and convenient options, The Marketplace has you covered with grab-and-go sandwiches, pastries, Starbucks coffee, and grocery essentials for those staying in villas.
And when it’s time to lounge under the sun, the Poolside Bars serve tropical favorites like piña coladas, mojitos, and frozen daiquiris, all enjoyed with pool views and laid-back vacation vibes.
Arcade Adventures & Sweet Treats
A trip to the resort wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Mystery Fun House Entertainment Center. Inside MegaBites Arcade, guests can take on hundreds of games, from retro pinball machines and air hockey tables to modern interactive challenges the spot has it all.
When I visited with friends, we were lucky enough to battle the claw machines and win some epic plushies! Mine was a Hello Kitty burger plush! Pretty epic!
Whether you’re collecting tickets for prizes or reliving your favorite childhood games, the energy here is pure joy.
After gaming, head to Sweet Dreamery next door, which is a dessert shop that’s pure magic.
Here, every treat is Instagram-worthy, from over-the-top milkshakes piled high with whipped cream, brownies, and candies to colorful scoops of ice cream in freshly made waffle cones.
Kids and adults alike light up when they walk in, surrounded by bright pastels, cheerful décor, and the irresistible scent of sugar.
Make a Splash
The heart of the resort is Shipwreck Island Water Park, a sun-soaked paradise of slides, splash zones, and fun for all ages. Families can float along the lazy river, race down the dual water slides, or relax in a private cabana with snacks and drinks nearby. With lifeguards, shaded spots, and activities for little ones, it’s the perfect blend of excitement and ease, all without ever leaving the property.
Even if your visit to Orlando might include a list of plans, this resort is the type of place where families, visitors, or even locals having a staycation, can relax and enjoy these amenities throughout the length of their stay.
