I loved the array of pools and how quiet this location was in January. I was attending a conference and didn’t plan to spend much time at the hotel. It was perfect for the time I did spend there! I loved the onsite pizza shop, little convenience store, and all the offered activities. I would 10/10 stay here again.

I visited this resort during spring break week and had an amazing time. This resort was beautiful and very clean. The hospitality was great, everyone from the reservation desk, guest service desk to housekeeping were all so nice. They were happy to answer any questions that I had. The weather was crappy but staying at Westlake Resort and Spa made up for it. I cannot wait to visit again in the near future. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
