Poolside bars and Treasure Cove food outlets
Westgate Lakes operates several poolside bars—Citrus Breeze, Coral Reef and Sunset Key—each serving cocktails, draft beer and light bites during pool hours. Citrus Breeze and Coral Reef commonly open around noon and close in the early evening.
Treasure Cove Water Park has its own food outlets, including the Buccaneer Galley Snack Bar and the Rikki Tikki Tiki Bar, which sell classic poolside fare and signature drinks. Water-park admission is a separate paid add-on and water-park policies apply to food and coolers.
If you plan to spend time at the pools or Treasure Cove, plan food breaks around the posted pool and park hours and confirm which bars are open that day.

Practicalities: hours, reservations, dietary needs and events
Many dining hours vary by season; Drafts accepts reservations while cafés and pool bars are first-come, first-served. For group or event catering (weddings, meetings), contact the resort’s group-events team.
The resort offers in-room kitchens and full villas (for example Villa, 2 Bedrooms or Villa, 4 Bedrooms), which makes self-catering from Marketplace & Deli practical for longer stays or families.
If you have dietary restrictions, ask staff at each venue—menus and ingredient information are handled by the restaurant teams and the concierge can assist with special requests.
- Confirm current hours with the front desk or concierge on arrival
- Drafts accepts reservations; pool bars and cafés generally do not
- For larger events, the resort has ballroom and outdoor event space—ask events sales about catering options

Family dining and tips for staying in a villa
Families often use Cordovano Joe’s delivery, the Marketplace & Deli, and Sid’s Bistro for quick meals, keeping villa kitchens and dining areas (for example Room, 1 Bedroom or Villa, 3 Bedrooms) in mind when planning meals.
If you want early coffee and pastries before pool or park time, Sid’s Bistro is the usual option; the Marketplace is where to pick up groceries, snacks and baby or kid supplies.
Remember that Treasure Cove Water Park access requires a separate paid admission, so factor food plans for water-park days into your budget.
- Order pizza or sandwiches for easy villa dining after a long day
- Use the Marketplace for breakfasts and snack supplies for kids
- Ask about high chairs or children’s menu options at Drafts and other venues
| Room types (examples) | Useful for |
|---|---|
| Room (Resort Select) | Quick coffee, simple in-room meals, short stays |
| Room, 1 Bedroom | Small families who want some kitchen space and dining area |
| Villa, 3 Bedrooms / Villa, 4 Bedrooms | Larger groups/families who plan to self-cater from Marketplace |
