The Spotlight on Westgate River Ranch Resort

Rustic Adventure Meets Live Music Vibes in Lake Wales

Modern hotels aren't the only option for music-lovers—Westgate River Ranch Resort brings a unique, outdoorsy twist to your concert weekend. Located in Lake Wales, Florida, this sprawling, activity-packed resort is just minutes from Lake Kissimmee and within easy reach of major music venues in the region. With rock climbing, horseback riding, and even a mechanical bull, it's a true blend of Florida wilderness fun and Southern charm.

Rooms are cozy and practical, offering microwaves, mini-fridges, coffee makers, and a TV. Some even come with a screened-in patio for winding down post-show. Whether you're here for a wild weekend or to unwind after a night of music, this resort gives you plenty of space to do both.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans looking for more than just a bed will love the on-site live rodeo events every Thursday and Saturday—a perfect pre- or post-show experience. The resort is far enough from city noise to ensure a peaceful night's sleep, yet close enough to reach Winter Haven's performance spaces in under an hour. There's plenty of parking and space to move around, making group travel a breeze. Plus, the flexible 4:00 PM check-in gives you time to arrive and settle in before the evening buzz begins.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want a fun, activity-filled stay
  • Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list artist with a love for the outdoors
  • Couples making a weekend of music and rustic charm
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space away from city noise
  • Budget-conscious music fans looking for value and added experiences

Food and Drink Options

The resort has you covered with the Westgate Smokehouse Grill, serving up hearty meals like baby back ribs, seafood, and steaks—perfect after a long night on your feet. The River Ranch Saloon offers a full bar, while the on-site general store with deli ensures you can grab a bite without leaving the property. Though room service isn’t 24/7, the laid-back vibe and variety of food options make late-night cravings easy to satisfy. Breakfast is available, so you can sleep in and still grab a bite before heading out.

Nightlife Options

If your idea of nightlife includes line dancing and cowboy hats, you’re in luck. The River Ranch Saloon brings the energy with drinks and a dancefloor, while the live rodeo events amp up the entertainment factor. If you're looking for more traditional nightlife, nearby towns offer bars and lounges within a short drive.

What People Say

Guests rave about the unique Western-themed experience and friendly staff. Many love the blend of outdoor adventure and peaceful relaxation, and say it makes for a truly memorable stay. The live rodeos and petting zoo are often highlighted as unexpected bonuses that add charm to the trip.

Areas for Improvement

While the rustic setting is part of the appeal, some guests mention that the rooms could use a refresh, and that the Wi-Fi can be spotty. Also, the 10:00 AM check-out might feel a bit early after a late concert night—but hey, it gives you more time to explore the outdoors.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a concert weekend with a twist of adventure and country charm, Westgate River Ranch Resort hits all the right notes.

Horrible!!!

Liked: Did not have breakfast there.
Disliked: The room was dirty and smelled musty, the AC did not work, the toilet did not flush, closet door broken. Every activity requires a "fee" and it is super expensive and some staff members were super rude. In addition, it took one hour and half to get our food at the restaurant by the river and it was not worth the price. The whole experience was a nightmare, it was so bad that we left one day earlier, a total waste of money and time!!! DO NOT GO!!!
