Spectacular Stay – Already Planning Our Return!

From the moment we pulled up, the Ritz-Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes made our whole family feel genuinely welcome. The valet greeted us with big smiles, and that same warmth hit us again at check-in with Auriane, who took such great care of us. We were lucky enough to upgrade to the Club Level, and Sheila was fantastic. She walked us through all the perks and really made us feel at home. The whole Ritz Club team, especially Trish, Brooke, and Jaime, treated us like we were part of their family. The attention to detail was next level, and the food all weekend was straight-up spectacular. The property is stunning too, with the beautiful pool, lazy river, and so many great amenities to enjoy. Our daughter loved the Ritz Kids Club and all the interactions with the pets, learning about them and doing the different activities. That Mother’s Day weekend was so wonderful. She had the absolute best time. As we were pulling away she had tears in her eyes telling us how special it was and how much fun she had. My wife also had the time of her life, feeling so recognized and appreciated as a mom, from the flowers to all the little thoughtful touches throughout the weekend. In a world that often feels so rushed, this place has a way of pausing everything and letting you just breathe, connect, and make memories that stick. There aren’t enough stars in the world for the amazing staff here. We left feeling refreshed and truly cared for. This hotel really knows how to do a family vacation right. I can’t recommend it enough!

Perfect trip to celebrate my daughter’s birthday!

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at (coming from a Marriott Lifetime Elite member with over 440 nights). I live in Tampa and frequent the attached JW Marriott several times a year. This was my first time staying at the Ritz Carlton Grand Lakes (the JW was full). Upon booking, I thought “it won’t be that different”, but boy was I wrong (in the best way possible). The Ritz service was incredible. Every single staff member from checkin, restaurants, pool, housekeeping, Kids Club, etc were FANTASTIC. It was my daughter’s birthday and they went above and beyond to make her feel special. Special shoutouts to Vanessa, Victoria, the Samuels (I believe there are two), Brooke, and the lovely ladies from Kids Club. You all brought so much joy to my daughter and me! The hotel itself is beautiful and the rooms are very well appointed. Having access to the more private Ritz pool while still being able to venture over to the busier JW lazy river and waterslides was a plus. Highball had great service and food. My daughter and I have been planning a trip to Africa next summer but after staying at the Ritz, she said “Mom, I think we should just come back here instead!” :) If you’re looking for that added, extra level of service and luxury, do not hesitate to book the Ritz. They will not disappoint!
