Best JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts in Florida

The secluded JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa tends to exceed travelers' expectations. And as its name suggests, this Marriott-affiliated resort is located on the grounds of the Turnberry Golf Course, so prepare to be fairly far removed from much of the Greater Miami area. However, many visitors say that this resort's location – not to mention its on-site spa (which boasts three floors of treatment areas) and long list of recreational amenities – make for a great getaway. The incredible customer service doesn't hurt either. Guest rooms here are spacious and comfortable, with 32-inch flat-screen TVs, Keurig coffee makers and iHome docking stations. However, a $37 daily resort fee, which covers in-room Wi-Fi access and use of facilities like a fitness center, applies. Families are particularly fond of this JW Marriott property due to its abundant kid-friendly amenities, including a water park with seven waterslides, a Flowrider and a lazy river, not to mention its kids programs, which offer supervised activities like arts and crafts (for an additional fee). And the resort's four in-house restaurants cater to a variety of palates. What's more, thanks to its brand ties, this resort invites Marriott Bonvoy members to use and earn points here.

Spacious rooms and luscious fairways are tantamount to this Marco Island property's acclaim. But visitors also appreciate this resort's versatility as a meeting and event space (it is a Marriott, after all). For example, the business center boasts all sorts of amenities, including office supplies, computers and FedEx shipping services. What will you find if you're away on pleasure, not business? Try a state-of-the-art spa, three outdoor pools and a sprawling stretch of beach. Meanwhile, the JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort's rooms and suites feature South Pacific-inspired decor and contemporary amenities like flat-screen TVs, minifridges and balconies that overlook the pools or the Gulf of Mexico. When mealtime rolls around, you'll find eight on-site restaurants that serve everything from pizza to sushi. Recent guests say that it's expensive to stay here, but if you're a Marriott Bonvoy member, you can use points to help keep costs down.

The Marriott brand didn't skimp on the details at JW Marriott Marquis Miami. For example, this hotel features a fitness complex with a virtual bowling alley and a NBA-approved basketball court (both fee-based). And the massive infinity swimming pool with towel service is a beauty. What's more, each of the 313 guest rooms and suites features a coffee maker, a 52-inch flat-screen TV, complimentary in-room bottled water and Wi-Fi access (which the $28.25 daily resort fee covers). The effort put in by this JW Marriott hotel's designers and staff hasn't gone unnoticed by those who've stayed at the Marquis. Most visitors have positive reports to give on the accommodating employees, well-appointed rooms and top-notch facilities. Others say the American brunch fare served at Met Cafe & Bar is nothing short of delicious. You'll find JW Marriott Marquis Miami less than 10 miles southwest of Miami Beach in downtown Miami. What's more, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn extra perks and rewards by choosing to stay here.

Not to be confused with its sister property, the JW Marriott Marquis Miami, this hotel caters to working travelers with a full-service business center and plenty of meeting space. But that's not to say that this member of the JW Marriott clan won't appeal to leisure travelers as well: The hotel sits in downtown Miami near Little Havana, offering a convenient location to popular attractions like the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. Meanwhile, the property features amenities that any guest can enjoy, including an outdoor pool, the SaLus at the JW Marriott Miami spa and two in-house restaurants. Guest rooms here offer modern amenities, such as wireless internet access (for a fee), flat-screen TVs and desks with ergonomic chairs and computers. But what guests couldn't get enough of were the sweeping views overlooking Biscayne Bay or the Miami skyline. However, not all previous guests were satisfied with their stay at the JW Marriott Miami. Some travelers noted that if you're not a business traveler, there isn't much within walking distance to keep guests entertained. This hotel, however, participates in the Marriott Bonvoy program, meaning members can earn or use points here.

The JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes is a comfortable, reasonably priced option that sits 7 miles northeast of Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. Recent lodgers said this JW Marriott property is a good option for both business travelers and families (and even better, business travelers who happen to be traveling with their families). Many of the rooms have balconies, but past guests suggest asking for a room that faces the lake for the most scenic views. No matter which room you end up in, you'll find it outfitted with a coffee maker, a 65-inch flat-screen TV and wireless internet access (which the property's daily $38 resort fee covers). The JW Marriott Orlando's ballrooms account for nearly 80,000 square feet of on-site meeting space, and there are also a few places on the grounds that can host business functions and special events. And what is any Orlando resort without a stellar pool? The JW Marriott Orlando boasts a massive heated lazy river that's surrounded by palm trees. Or, guests can take a dip in the adjacent Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes' main pool, as the two properties share many amenities with each other. What's more, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and redeem points by choosing to stay here.
