We were invited to the Ritz Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes on a press trip. Our accommodations and activities were covered. However, all my opinions are my own!

We recently stayed at the Ritz Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes and while we were there we were able to enjoy their Fall on the Farm program. Let me just tell you, it was an incredible experience. The Ritz Carlton has blown us away with their level of service and attention to detail. This resort was incredibly family-friendly. My children had the time of their lives.

As a Family Travel Influencer, we have traveled to several hotels this year alone but trust me, there is nothing like the Ritz Carlton. The feeling that you experience while on the property is nothing like you’ve experienced before. They treat you like family. The level of hospitality is definitely felt here.

Grande Lakes Rooms & Suites

We stayed on the Club Level and had connecting rooms. We have a king suite with a sleeper sofa, while our children had the double Queen suite. Both of our rooms had balconies that overlooked the lake. Our rooms were very comfortable. I loved that the rooms had a tub for our toddler, this was very convenient. There was also an in-suite mini-bar that was fully stocked with beverages. I enjoyed the view from our balcony in the room.

I enjoyed having my morning cup of coffee while watching the serene lakeside view. It was so peaceful.

It’s a Celebration For Birdie

The resort has a pet Golden Retriever onsite, whose name is Birdie. Therefore, while we were there, we were able to celebrate Birdie’s 1st Birthday “Pawty.” It was super cute, and we were able to bring Levi (our standard poodle) for the celebration, . Grande Lakes Orlando’s animal programming is absolutely incredible. They were many other guests with their dogs on properties as well. We truly enjoyed all the activities that they had for the doggies.

Dining Options At The Ritz Carlton

While we were there, we were able to enjoy the luxury of having access to the Club Lounge. The Club Lounge has five food presentations throughout the day that consists of breakfast, lunch, light snacks, hors d’oeuvres, desserts, alcoholic beverages, and snacks to go. Each morning we enjoyed having a full breakfast as a family in the Club Lounge. Our children enjoyed having a variety of snacks and desserts throughout the day. In my opinion, this was their best part of their stay. 

Dinner At Primo Restaurant

The resort is filled with several restaurants and bars. We enjoyed a wonderful family dinner at Primo’s restaurant located at the JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes, which is the sister property of the Ritz Carlton and just a short walk away. 

Grande Lakes Brand New Cabanas

There was so much to do during our weekend. We enjoyed basking in their brand-new poolside cabanas. We were really impressed by the whole cabana experience. For starters, the cabanas came furnished with cable HDTV and wireless Internet. It was fully stocked with beverages as well as snacks. They also came with complimentary fresh fruit, chips, and guacamole all day!

Poolside Lunch At Bleu’s Restaurant

We relaxed all day watching TV and just enjoying our family time together. At lunchtime, we enjoyed having our private butler serve us lunch from Bleu (the poolside restaurant). If you visit, you definitely have to try the wings and fish tacos. They were absolutely delicious.

JW Marriott Grande Lakes Lazy River

Our children enjoyed their pool very much so. They loved relaxing in the pool on their pool pillows, while I chased Austin around the kiddie area. Anywhere there’s a pool my children feel at home. They absolutely loved the pool. The really cool part is the JW Marriott has an amazing lazy river. We enjoyed a nice little stroll to the other side of the property where we were able to enjoy the lazy river. I was amazed at how many family-friendly activities they have. They have several swings, hammocks, on-site fishing, tennis courts, paddleboats, and so much more to offer for families. 

Fall On The Farm At Grande Lakes

The Fall on the Farm program was amazing! this was their 2nd annual of the awesome program for families. I really liked that it was fun for the whole family. Our children picked out some pumpkins, craved some, and even painted some really cute pumpkins as well. There was food and beverages available. I definitely admired the elegant and sophisticated approach from the whole experience. I am absolutely amazed at how incredible and polite the entire staff was. The ladies and gentlemen on the property were prestigious. I definitely cannot wait to visit again.

Truly, what an incredible weekend we had at Grande Lakes. If you’re looking for an amazing weekend away, I truly recommend you guys look at the Ritz Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes. You will not be disappointed by this family-friendly property.
