Grande Expectations

Imagine a resort comprised of Marriott hotels' two luxury brands: JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton. Now imagine that resort situated on 500 acres of lush nature reserve featuring 13 Lakes (yes - you can fly-fish on property!) and a Championship 18-hole, par 72 Greg Norman golf course. Connect those two hotels with 150,000 feet of indoor meeting space (the outdoor options are almost limitless) and a *fabulous* 40-treatment-room spa. Voila!  There you have the Grande Lakes Orlando resort, just 10 miles from Orlando Airport and an eternity away from the plastic theme parks one normally associates with the destination.
