Is The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes good? Overview, pros and cons

Staylist AI overview · based on 7 public guest reviews

“Grande Lakes family fun, one debacle”

The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes is a gorgeous family resort — lazy river, great restaurants including Knife and Spoon, pools, gym, a kids' arcade, plus fire-dancer shows and fireworks seen from balconies. Most guests love every minute. One severe review describes a debacle: a pre-confirmed extra duvet never arrived, lift buttons went dead with no apology, and guests were routed through staff corridors and a basement without greeting or priority — called the world's worst Ritz stay. Club-level access was also judged not worth its cost, and tip handling is inconsistent.
