Quick Verdict: Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa vs Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort

When Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa wins: choose Westgate if you need multi-bedroom villa space, want seven pools and a dedicated on-property water park (Treasure Cove) or are traveling with kids and want on-site activities like mini golf, playgrounds and kids’ spa services.

When Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort wins: choose Royal Pacific if your trip is focused on Universal Orlando—its location is within easy walking/shuttle range of CityWalk and Islands of Adventure and many room types include Free* Universal Express Unlimited (room descriptions vary).

Bottom line: both are solid park-area hotels but serve different needs—Westgate is a sprawling villa resort with family-focused amenities and a paid on-site water park; Royal Pacific is a full-service Universal-branded hotel that simplifies Universal park logistics.

Best choice if your primary plan is to spend time at Universal parks—location saves transfer time and adds park benefits.

Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa – Dining & drinks

Westgate Lakes offers a mix of casual sit-down restaurants, pizza delivery and pool bars across the property.

  • Drafts Sports Bar & Grill (American sports-bar), Sid's Bistro (Starbucks coffee & ice cream), Cordovano Joe's Pizza and Marketplace & Deli.
  • Three poolside bars plus Rikki Tikki Tiki Bar at Treasure Cove Water Park for light fare and signature drinks.

Plenty of convenient dining options for park days and early mornings—especially convenient for Universal visitors.

Pools & the hotel's signature amenity

Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa – Pools & the hotel's signature amenity

Westgate’s headline amenity is its on-property Treasure Cove Water Park plus seven pools across the grounds.

  • Treasure Cove Water Park: 161,000-gallon pirate-themed water park with dual 30-foot slides, wave pool, lazy river; access requires a separate paid admission.
  • Seven heated outdoor pools and seven hot tubs plus four children's wading pools; pool hours generally 8:00 AM–10:00 PM (Treasure Cove has its own hours).
  • Lakeside marina with kayak, canoe and paddleboat rentals and on-site water activities.

If water features and an on-site water park matter, Westgate delivers a bigger on-site play area for kids and families (admission fee applies).

Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort – Pools & the hotel's signature amenity

Royal Pacific has a resort swimming pool and poolside amenities suitable for relaxation between park visits.

  • One outdoor pool with lifeguard on site and two hot tubs listed in supplier amenities.
  • Pool umbrellas, pool sun loungers and poolside bar on-site for guest use.
  • Complimentary theme-park shuttle and park benefits make the hotel convenient for park-focused days rather than extended on-site water play.

Royal Pacific provides a comfortable pool and poolside service but no large on-property water park experience like Westgate’s Treasure Cove.

Wellness & nightlife: spa, fitness and evening options

Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa – Wellness & nightlife

Westgate offers a large spa, fitness classes and family recreation that extends into the evening.
