Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes Orlando

[Katys Grandad]

I know this site is really dedicated to villas but we will only be in Orlando for a couple of nights in December and would like to treat ourselves to something special. The Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes seems to get rave reviews on US consumer sites. Has anybody any first hand experience of this place?

Alternatively, can somebody recommend something similar elsewhere in the Orlando area? We are a little bit past it for a Disney hotel!

yes the Hyatt Grande Cypress i think this is what it was called near the crossroads very nice hotel and the pool area is wonderful with waterfalls and a rope bridge pretty sure it is a 5 star

I probably should be suggesting a villa, even for a few days but, if there's only two of you for a few nights, why not try the Wonderland Inn for a real treat? It looks nothing from the outside but the inside is really special, particularly for a romantic few days - great for anniversaries and the like! http://www.wonderlandinn.com

What about the hotel at Celebration, there are some really great photos of this hotel in the "Photo Gallery" It looks very nice.[msnsmile2]
