The Pool at Jw Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes

"Marriott guests can use the 40,000-square-foot Ritz spa and its excellent restaurant, Norman's, as well as the pools at both hotels"

"Though it caters to the convention crowd (there’s more than 100,000 square feet of meeting space if that’s your thing), the resort is extremely family friendly with a lazy river pool complex, an arcade room and kids programming"

"It’s peaceful and elegant, with plenty of greenery and the best lazy river pool in Orlando"

"Its big rooms, streaming lazy-river pool, and acclaimed Italian restaurant are all among the best in Orlando -- a great choice, for business or a family vacation"

"The immaculate facilities include several restaurants, a fitness centre, a lazy river and pool, and a full-service spa"

"A few highlights include the Greg Norman-designed golf course and 40,000-square-foot spa with hydrotherapy and private lap pools"

""When you need a bit of luxury", this "posh" Spanish colonial--style resort offers a "true oasis in Orlando", from the "courteous" staffers who greet you at the "grand entrance" to the "excellent", "well-appointed" rooms with marble bathrooms; some find the location "isolating" but others love being "away from the crowds", and thanks to the "delish" eats, "extraordinary" pool complex (including an "awesome" lazy river) and shared golf and spa facilities with the adjacent Ritz-Carlton, "kids would rather be here than at Disney" and it's "great for couples" too"

"The JW's 24,000-square-foot pool area, landscaped with fake rocks, jungle greens, and a quarter-mile lazy river, is the poshest outside of the Disney water slide parks, while the Ritz's is formal and refined"

"With more than 70,000 square feet of meeting space, this lush resort caters to a convention clientele, but leisure-seekers and families are certainly not ignored: a European-style spa, a Greg Norman–designed golf course, and a lazy river–style pool complex offer plenty of family fun"

"There's a lazy river outdoor pool area or biking and kayaking trails for the more active, and guests can even learn to fish or take an eco-tour of the nearby Everglades"
