Family cabana time at The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes
We invited travel blogger and Florida local, Jessica Sanchez and her family (The Jetsetting Family), to visit this June, enjoy the resort and let us in on some favourite things to see and do in Orlando. Everyone had an amazing time and there was even a surprise visit from Jessica’s mom so the resort was able to work a little multi-gen magic too.
While many families travel to Orlando to visit the various theme parks throughout the area, the city has a multitude of alternative activities that you should consider as well! If you’re planning to visit and have some open days on your itinerary, here are some recommendations for activities in the area, along with an incredible resort that will not disappoint.
The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes
As Marriott Bonvoy members, we appreciate the variety of options across the brand portfolio. For this trip, we stayed at The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes because it offered a compelling mix of diverse activities. Aside from lounging by the pool in one of their new cabanas, we spent a full day playing games on the lawn, tasting some delicious cuisine at the Highball & Harvest restaurant, and admiring the natural beauty of the resort’s surroundings.
