Grande Lakes, Orlando Introduces Teacher Appreciate Rate

Special Savings for Teachers Available Through December 30th at Luxury Orlando Hotels


ORLANDO, Fla., July 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In recognition of their valuable contributions throughout the school year, Grande Lakes Orlando has just introduced a Teacher Appreciation rate available for stays through December 30th, 2019.

Grande Lakes, Orlando is the perfect summer destination for teachers to take a break from the ABCs and 123s and relax on over 500 acres of the most enchanting natural surroundings in Florida. Teachers and their families will revel in easy access to all of the magical attractions of Orlando as well as a plethora of on-property diversions including golf, spa treatments, land and water activities at Grande Lakes Sports (mountain biking, kayaking, fishing, flightseeing, and more) as well as the simple pleasures of spending an afternoon in the lazy-river outdoor heated pool. The resort also recently introduced a first-of-its-kind interactive water feature, AquaCourse 360 which combines the challenges of an obstacle course with the excitement of an adventure mission and is watery fun for guests of all ages — including those who can stand on the sidelines and fire high-powered water jets at those on the course.

The Teacher Appreciation Rate is from $139 per room, per night at the JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes, (savings of 30% off regular rack rates) and $174 at The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes (savings of 30%). This offer is based upon availability, limited to two rooms per night, applicable to teachers only, and requires proof of employment as a teacher at check-in.

To book the Teacher Appreciation Rate, visit GrandeLakes.com and use promotional code ZTC or call 1-800-576-5760.
