The Ritz-Carlton Spa Orlando, Grande Lakes

Good luck trying to find there spa menu online

Had lunch at the spa today and everything was delicious. My friend and I both had the bento box which was phenomenal. The farro salad is spectacular as well as the chia seed crusted tuna. Our server Alex was excellent! He made our experience. He is extremely professional and attentive. He even brought us complimentary yogurt covered strawberries — which were also on point.
If anyone from management is reading this, Alex needs to be promoted ASAP! He is truly a dime a dozen.

Had an awesome spa day here today! My girlfriend and I got a couple’s 80 minute massage. My massage therapist, Amy was so sweet and I loved every minute of it! My girlfriend loved her therapist as well and we both were so relaxed by the end but we wished it could have been longer, lol. It flew by!
Our pedicures were nice, but I didn’t like that I couldn’t sit by my girlfriend. I felt kind of weird and by myself and wished there had been an area where we could’ve sat together, otherwise our experience all together would have been five stars.
I really liked the amenities! The ladies locker rooms were super nice and the scrub that you could use in the showers smelled divine. Probably should’ve bought some to take home! Overall, it was a great experience and one that we will definitely keep in mind when we need to be really pampered again!

The Ritz-​Carlton Spa of Orlando Grande Lakes was a fantastic way for my sweetie and I to spend our holiday and a great way to relax after the hustle and bustle of work for us both. The self-​parking, parking lot is located about 5 blocks from everything at the resort so the next time we’re here we’ll definitely do the valet. Though as a perk we enjoyed the conversation and anticipation of going to the spa.
As we arrived, we were greeted by the spa hostess and taken on a tour of the relaxation areas for men and women. In the ladies area of the spa there was a lovely presentation living room type area that had a variety of snacks such as yogurt pretzels, a trail mix, an assortment of teas and cucumber and orange water. The ladies area also had a dry sauna and a whirlpool for enjoyment before your spa treatment and a shower with grapefruit salt scrubs and hair essential for your post spa enjoyment. Bry had to be tracked down as he was busy savoring the yogurt pretzels in the gentleman’s lounge and the other snacks.
I was very surprised at the amenities, this spa facility really did offer a lot to the customers before the spa treatment even occurs– complete relaxation. Then Bry and I were to meet in the co-​ed lounge pre-​spa treatment to be prepped by our lady. The co-​ed lounge features small hideaway couples rooms for reserve, and a few chaise lounges to relax pre-​treatment.
We decided on the couples bath and absolutely loved the experience. The hostess told us what to expect and how everything worked. Before our bath, the doorway in our room was lined with rose petals and smelled like grapefruit– it was so romantic, the bath had aromatherapy crystals and was like a mini Jacuzzi. We loved it. Afterwards we were whisked away to our reserved couples room for champagne and chocolate covered strawberries followed by many of the yogurt pretzels and just relaxing together.
After we’d been there a while, we checked out and decided we’d do a couples spa getaway later and I wanted to try the citrus infused spa which sounded amazing, so we’ll be back. At the end of our spa journey we were presented with day passes to the spa (woowoo) the second best part about this adventure– the first being, that there were barely any people there, so we felt we had this whole place for ourselves, and our parking ticket was validated at the check-​out; even better. What a delight!

Spent a memorable day of pampering with a good friend. We had 80 minute heavenly massages, and the most amazing body sugar scrub imaginable. The scrub treatment was a tropical mix of delectable ingredients topped only by the unique application. Rolling «shower misting systems» made the treatment incredibly relaxing. The therapist gently rolls you side to side to replace moist towels in a way that becomes a part of the treatment, keeping you comfortable throughout. The temperatures, room and experience were an indulgence for the senses. Have not had a body polish /​scrub treatment that even comes close to this one! The Only feedback I can give is that we wrapped up our six hour spa day STARVED. We each had an hour and a half drive home and there was no food available at all in the hotel. We were about 45 minutes early for happy hour and did not want to wait around for appetizers. No real food in the spa or hotel and we had to drive through rush hour traffic in downtown Orlando to find a place to eat. Definitely put a little damper on our Zen. Otherwise, home run!

Miss Alicia provided a deep tissue massage focused on my back that eliminated my frequent flier/​frequent computer use pain. Thank you. One of the top massages I’ve have — round the globe. It’s the Ritz so it’s a bit pricey but worth every single penny.

I can not say enough good things about the ritz Carlton Spa. I have come several times for a Hydra Facial and have been extremely pleased with every visit.
It goes without saying that going to the ritz spa is going to cost more than the average day spa, this should just be expected. However, you have to realize that you are not only paying for the service you are scheduling, but you are paying for the experience as a whole. You have access to the facilities (spa, jacuzzi, pool, steam, and sauna) before and after your service. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel special. I have never felt rushed when receiving a service.
I would definitely recommend the Ritz Spa.
They do run different specials for Florida residents, so be on the look out for those in order to save a little bit of $$.

If you’re looking for a place to relax, free your mind, and want to pamper yourself, definitely book a spa day here! After searching the best places for a spa day, this particular spa is what I kept going back towards too and I am sooooooo glad I did!
I took my boyfriend here as his birthday gift and everything about this spa exceeded my expectations and I was beyond impressed not only with the hotel itself, but the complete layout of the spa! Once we entered the spa, the aroma immediately made me relaxed and got me excited for the day. Inside the ladies room, I was greeted by Justine and toured me around. The locker had a rob and slippers ready for me which awesome! They literally had everything! Showers complete with shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and shaving cream. They provided the bathroom with disposable shavers, shower caps, and a body sugar scrub (definitely try this out, it smelled so good and made my skin feeling super soft. Forgot a brush or comb? No worries, they have disposable ones and the vanity had blow-​dryers, a straightener, and curling iron. Don’t need to pack anything except for your clothes :)
Before we got our massages, I met my boyfriend at the co-​ed room and they provided tea, some snacks and flavored water. Definitely made me relax and it was nice lounging around before our appointment. I booked the Couple’s journey which included 50 minute massages, a couples bath for 20 minutes, champagne, chocolate covered strawberry AND two $ 25 food vouchers at the Vitale Café. I mean if that’s not a deal than what is?! Everything was honestly great! It an experience and I left feeling like a new person and ready to tackle the world.
The food at Vitale café was so good! Healthy food options, but healthy that tasted so good! We ordered the bento box which let you pick the protein of your choice and 3 sides. The Ahi Tuna was soooo good and the grilled shrimp! Also, if you have room for dessert definitely give the tiramisu and the caribbean chocolate cake a try. Yum, yum, yum!
The staff members were super nice and very attentive to our needs. Such a great place and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s seeking to indulge a little on themselves or for someone special :)

We spent almost 400 for two mani: pedis that were nice but not much above what we get in Atlanta at any nail salon for 40 bucks. Our polish is already chipping and I feel like we really got taken for a ride here. My daughter is 13. It’s not like we got a long massage or anything all that special.

I treated myself for my birthday by getting a massage and facial ! I was treated like royalty here ! It was so tranquil, relaxing, and heavenly. The staff was very attentive. I had lunch at the café, even the food was amazing !

Had an amazingggg facial with Deborah! I am a long time Rosacea sufferer and she took time to educate me on treatments and products to help calm my condition. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, sweet, and professional. Can’t wait until my next facial :)

What can you say… the spa here is probably yhe nicest if seen here in orlando. Yhe service is impeccable and the ambiance is second to none

I was in Orlando with my husband recently for a business trip. I booked a massage in the Spa. When I walked in to schedule and was asked if I had a preference, my only request was that it be someone REALLY GOOD! The gentleman checking out next to me said if I wanted the best to request Galina… I was NOT disappointed. This woman (Russian) was a miracle worker!!! I have had massages all over the east coast as well as west coast. Galina was so amazing!!! She not only listened to my description of the pain I was experiencing but she was able to name the muscle that has been affected and whatever she did the pain is GONE!!! I love massages, and typically my pain is either reduced or gone for about 24 – 48 hours following other massages I’ve had. Since Galina’s magic massage, I have been pain free for the past month. I wish I could wrap her up and bring her home with me to NJ.
In an effort to recognize her further, I will be praising her on every review website I can find. If I am ever back in Orlando again, I will definitely be seeing her again.
GREAT JOB GALINA & THE RITZ CARLTON. I had an amazing stay and hope to be back soon.

Excellent customer service– everyone was so friendly and helpful! One of the ladies who worked there even packed some of the complimentary body scrub into a couple plastic containers for us to take home!
I thoroughly enjoyed the fitness center and jacuzzi while my mom and aunt enjoyed the sauna, steam room, and facials. They have refreshing infused water, fruits and snacks, chilled towelettes, and slippers all included. Everything is clean and everything smells good.
The café is also fabulous! We all had the bento box option, which was a great deal with very delicious, fresh food. My mom and I ordered the ahi tuna, and the portion was so generous.
This is a great place to have a spa day! Oh, and they also allowed my spa-​day pass (just facilities) to be free of charge since my mom and aunt paid for their passes and facials (and it was my first spa experience ever).

Amazing service and amenities. Totally worth it for a spa day! Sis did the pregnancy massage while I lounged in the jacuzzi, steam room and sauna for a nominal fee. We also sat on the terrace in rocking chairs overlooking the gorgeous spa pool and grounds. Check in and check out was a little slow and too formal, until we got upstairs and the ladies took great care of us. I never felt like they hovered but could always find someone to answer a question. Definitely try the café on the lower level. Fairly good prices and impeccable service for delicious bites that go beyond typical healthy fare.

My fiancée and I did the couples massage and it is by far the most memorable moment we’ve had together thus far. Our wedding is in two days, so the stresses of family and wedding planning are weighing heavy on us. Our escape to the spa was much needed and far exceeded expectations. Starting with a relaxing 50 minute massage, we then went to a very romantic private 20 minute bath. After that, we were treated to champaign and chocolate covered strawberries in the lounge area. We then wrapped up with an tasty and healthy luncheon at the spa café. The service was impeccable and they even worked in a last minute hair appointment for my fiancée. I highly suggest this experience to ANYONE; whether celebrating upcoming nuptials or just needed time away from the real world to unwind, this is where you need to be!

This spa is absolutely AMAZING! I decided to book a day here in May after looking into many Orlando area spas and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. The grounds, the services and the staff were all incredible. I received a massage, facial, and manicure/​pedicure as well as lunch at the café and some time spent relaxing by the pool and in the lounges.
The massage and facial were definitely the highlight of the day. Both technicians were fabulous, friendly, and skilled.
The lounges, treatment rooms and pool were impeccable. Relaxing, clean, serene and so so spacious. Everything you could want in a spa and more. The pool area is huge and reserved for spa guests only, so it was quiet and never crowded with an attentive staff so you can order food and drinks from the café right at the pool. You get access to the pool area all day if you book a service, so definitely go early/​stay late to make the most of it! They also have saunas, steam rooms and a whirlpool in the lounge.
Midday break consisted of a light lunch at the on-​site café, everything was outstanding, from the mimosa to the service. Highly recommend the bento box with grilled shrimp! So delicious.
The manicure and pedicure were both wonderful, especially thanks to my incredibly sweet technician. However, I will say that for the cost they could have been a little more ‘luxurious’… By no means was it a bad mani/​pedi, I just didn’t think it was quite as posh as the rest of the experience. The salon is separate from the rest of the lounges/​treatment areas and just a little different in terms of ambiance. Seemed to need a bit of updating, but the technician did mention that the spa was set to get some renovations this summer. In the future, I’ll probably skip the nail services and splurge on a longer massage or facial.
All in all this spa is an absolute must. If you’re looking to splurge and be spoiled rotten, this is without a doubt the best choice in Orlando. Already planning my next visit!

Just do it
You will be treated with exceptional service generous smiles and some of the best spa services among the any Orlando resort options
