Honeymoon and romantic stays at Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa
Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa offers a mix of villa-style rooms and on-site amenities suited to honeymooners and couples seeking both relaxed downtime and activity—think spa couples’ treatments, poolside bars, and suites with whirlpool tubs. For a romantic stay, choose a villa or one-bedroom option (for privacy and kitchenette space), book a couples treatment at Serenity Spa by Westgate, and pick quiet times at the pools or Treasure Cove Water Park for more lively fun.

Where to stay for romance
Room layouts range from studio-style villas to multi-bedroom Villas, so pick the scale that fits your plans. For two people who want extra privacy and a separate living area, consider Room, 1 Bedroom or Deluxe Villa, 1 Bedroom; both list 1 King Bed and a Double Sofa Bed.
Some villas include kitchenettes or full kitchens that make quiet breakfasts in-suite easy. If you want a tub for soaking together, look for units described with whirlpool tubs when you request bedding/features at booking; not every unit will have the same bathroom features. Not all room types are adult-only—the resort is family-friendly, so expect other guests and children on property. Photo: 3
