Luxury resort with spa, golf, fine dining, and outdoor activities
"Set on 500 acres at the head of the Florida Everglades, the resort offers an outdoor wonderland—guided eco-tours by kayak, an interactive kids club, fishing lessons, and a Greg Norman–designed golf course—positioning family activities firmly in Florida’s natural environment rather than a Disneyfied experience." - Nina Kokotas Hahn
"Rows of palm trees herald the entrance to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, a towering, Italian-inspired resort where an attentive staff greets you at the porte-cochère and welcomes you into the marble lobby with a glass of sparkling wine. Guest rooms are modern and subdued with private balconies and ultra-plush bedding, and the large, marble bathrooms have plush Frette robes, oversized towels, and La Bottega Diptyque toiletries. If you can fit it in, make time to check out the spa: The Ritz-Carlton’s massive, 40,000-square-foot space has 40 private treatment rooms, a cafe, and a serene outdoor pool." - Valerie Marino
