JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes

What the classifiers highlight

Set apart from the theme-park crowds, the resort centers on an 18-hole Greg Norman course and shares Grande Lakes' 40,000-square-foot spa with its Ritz-Carlton neighbor. Forbes points to Primo, chef Melissa Kelly's Mediterranean dining room drawing on the on-site Whisper Creek Farm, alongside a new water park, poolside dining and family suites built around bunk beds.
