Another great stay at the JW Grande Lakes. This time we went back to Disney and Universal so appreciated the hotel shuttle bus service to and from the parks. The pool is lovely and the lazy river adds a nice touch for the kids. Looking forward to returning to this property soon!

Jw Marriott Orlando was amazing and beautiful especially with the Christmas decor. We will definitely be going back. The view of pool and view of Ritz-Carlton next door was awesome. We can't wait to tell our family and friends how much we loved it.

I noticed a strong sour smell that was may have been from a damp environment causing musty and moldy smells in the air. It was extremely pungent so I would run ac down and the smell at least got better. However, I would cough each night because throat was irritated!! During the day wasn't a problem when I was outside of my hotel room. I worked out and felt ok. BUT. The last night I coughed all night. I checked out, flew home and got bronchitis. I do have an actual mold allergy but don't expect it in a hotel room. I am on meds now and sitting around sick so I googled "JW MARRIOTT MOLD AND MILDEW IN ROOMS" Yep! Bingo!! Many, many complaints!! Never again. Read less

I just returned from a wonderful stay at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes. The hotel is conveniently located about 20 minutes from the airport and the hotel offers many things to do for the entire family. I found the room very spacious and well thought out. I was on the 23rd floor and the room contained a sectional couch with table, along with a desk and chair. The bathroom also was pretty spacious with a separate soaking tub. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful. In addition to the beautiful grounds with pools, flora, fountains, I also enjoyed a couple of the restaurants I tried. I had a very tasty burger at the Kitchen and a very good Mahi Mahi sandwich at Knife Burger. I also enjoyed taking advantage of the fitness center which offered a variety of new exercise equipment.
