Shelter From The Storm
My family and I stayed while we were evacuating from Hurricane Milton. The staff was very accommodating with our two dogs and the kids had a great time. Special thanks to Cristina at the front desk, she was kind and made us feel special and welcome during a very stressful time. We were impressed by the hotel and will be returning for an actual vacation as soon as we can!

Doesn’t care for their guests!
My boyfriend, dog and I came to evacuate from the hurricane. I was walking with my senior dog in the lobby near the lobby bar and both my dog and I fell on the hard floor and completely wiped out. Turns out the roof was leaking in that spot and the hotel employees were well aware of the leak before the hurricane even started. As I laid on the floor no one came to help besides one man. I severely hit my right knee and was bleeding and swelling set in instantly. The man who helped me and my dog up was angry that the hotel didn’t have this area blocked off as it was a large area that everyone has to walk through and it was visibly wet. He went to the front desk to complain as did I. The only response I was met with was “oh I’m sorry that happened to you” Had JW blocked off that high traffic area that was clearly being leaked on by your faulty roof I would have not fallen. Later my boyfriend went down to complain about their dismissive response and they brought me a ice pack… Still not acknowledging that they solely were responsible for me Injuring myself and my dog! The next morning I hobbled down to the front desk and was met with the manager who again just apologized and gave me a single $40 comp for breakfast for JUST ME even though I clearly had not come alone. This place knowingly knew they had water leaks in a highly congested area yet they can’t even put up a “wet floor” sign or keep on top of it to keep that area blocked off. This is plain negligence! The manager and employees response was cold and unprofessional. We asked them to file an incident report which I’m sure they did not do! Absolutely disgusted by the lack of responsibility taken by JW Marriott Grande Lakes. We paid THOUSANDS to have somewhere safe to go to escape the hurricane and this is how they treat guests! Cannot wait to hobble out of this hotel for good!

A great family resort in Orlando
We had a few hiccups with the Marriott app and our two rooms but nothing the staff weren’t able to work around. I had a weird issue where one of the two rooms booked kept having the dates amended which was odd. The hotel saw the correct dates though. I want to thank the late night check in staff who helped us while our incoming flight was delayed by Hurricane Helene. They checked us in quickly to get us in the room despite not being able to formally take payment details up front (system update late at night). The next morning the staff efficiently properly checked us in and the valet was shockingly efficient. The rooms were very clean, well appointed and we had a nice view overlooking the pools and golf course/lake. Avery and Valeria were great and did what they could to fix the app issues. Whisper Creek Farms had great vegetarian options and the food and service were excellent. The lobby bar lacked vegetarian options and had sorta weak service but the management team followed up and actually cared about my feedback. Also, budget to go to the spa. It was a wonderful facility. Will definitely return!

Top Class Resort
The JW Grande Lakes is an upscale resort with a great deal of amenities and dining options. It is also connected to the Ritz Carlton and guests can resort hop. Our room was on the 15th floor and had a small balcony. The room was spacious, very clean, and housekeeping is impeccable. We spent the day poolside, which was very easy to do with all of the family friendly amenities to include splash pad. 3 fun waterslides and the lazy river. Plenty of chairs were available and there are 2 poolside bars and outdoor dining. I was very impressed with the customer service, and the courteous service from the entire staff. After dinner, which we had at the Ritz, my other review will rave about that incredible experience, we enjoyed nightcap at the lobby bar. I can’t sing the praises of this experience enough!

Renovated terribly less space in bathroom
I have been coming here for the past 19-20 years All was great. They are amazing and they even gave me an upgrade since I am a bonvoy whatever member. They redid the corner units where the room is really bigger but it doesn’t compensate the shower. I am petite 5’2 that weighs 114 lbs. I was so tight in that new bathtub/shower and being so careful as to not throw water all over bathroom since they put half a glass as door. I rather stay in the regular rooms with a bathtub and a shower separate and much much bigger. Also left the room at 9 am to come back at 4 with a room that was not done. Had to get ready and no clean towels. I am So disappointed this time. So make sure you don’t get the corner rooms. In the picture bathtub looks big but it’s like 12-14 inches wide
