JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes

Pros: Can you say luxury?!
Cons: Price, must have a car

I recently had the pleasure of spending 3 days and 2 nights at the JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes as I was attending a work-related conference. This massive resort complex is about a 10-minute drive from Orlando International Airport. There is a ...

Pros: Lazy river pool; activities a'plenty; lake and golf course views; luxurious surroundings
Cons: Pretty crowded on weekends

AUTHOR rsquo;S NOTE: With apologizes to Family Circus cartoonist Bil Keane, I rsquo;ve permitted my 6-year old son Alex to write this review. (When Alex noticed me typing a review of the JW Marriott, he removed the laptop from my lap. ldquo;Dad, rdquo; ...

Pros: Food, service, rooms.
Cons: It can be pricey if you don't find any specials.

My husband and I stayed at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes in Sept '05, for a 2 night getaway, to my favorite place on the planet, Orlando. I was most impressed with just about every aspect of this property. The Grande Lakes sits on a shared golf course ...

Pros: Pool area a resort in itself. Good food on site.
Cons: Hard to figure out how to get into the complex.

My wife can be critical of many areas of a hotel whereas I would not give it a thought. She rated the JW Marriott a 10 out of 10. I give it a similar rating. If you need to relax in a self contained environment pleasing to the senses, this is it. We live ...

Pros: new Luxury, upscale hotel, amazing pool
Cons: location is fair at best--must have a car, they charge for self parking

We recently spent four nights at the JW Marriott hotel and spa in Orlando. Overall I would rate this property as "top notch." Pros: 1. This is a new hotel. The rooms are large and the lazy river pool is amazing. 2. The restaurants are very good--try ...

Pros: Beautiful Grounds, Great Location, Wonderful Amenities, Lazy River
Cons: Disappointing Room Service and Mini-Bar

My husband and I stayed here in October of 2006 for four nights. I thought the hotel and its grounds were beautiful, which is always a plus. This particular hotel shares its grounds with the Ritz Carlton, which is nice because it allows guests the ...

Pros: Large and long lazy river pool; great amenities
Cons: Long drive to get to from main road.

Possibly the sole reason for my family to vacation there is for the lazy river pool!  The hotel boasts that it's the largest lazy river pool in the south east United States.  When you start down the river and round a corner, you think ...

Pros: SPA, STAFF, BEAUTIFUL
Cons: expense

~ Grounds are breathtaking!
~ Rooms are over the top comfortable and luxurious!
~ Staff was overly helpful! Full of smiles! I was amazed with how the staff seemed to be HAPPY to help! When we said "Thank you." Their response as always "On, it was my pleasure!"

~Hands down the best spa in Orlando! My best friend and I visit a spa twice a year (for our birthdays). Living in Orlando, we visit Orlando Spas more than any other. This is by far our favorite! JW Marriott and the Ritz share the spa! It is so warm, relaxing and comfortable! Heaven on earth! And men...the ratio always seems to be 1:1! Men love it here too! Not just a ladies spa!

The Spa is a must!
