Help with Ritz Carlton Orlando

Are there a lot of kids normally at this resort in June? We've decided on the Ritz because of the level of quality but also we want to get away from all the kids.
Also, I've read good reviews about the Club level on trip advisor. Can anyone elaborate on that. Is it worth the $ for the food and beverages that are included at club level?What exactly is offered as far as food and alcoholic beverages are concerned?
How does the pool compare to say The Mirage or Caesars or Bellagio in Las Vegas? We're big pool people and this is what our day will involve doing. Any help would be great!

We have stayed at many Ritz Carlton's but unfortunately not the one in Orlando so I can't comment on that particular one. We don't find too many kids at the hotels we have stayed at but there are some. We also have not found them to be a problem at all - even the ones who have been in the Club Level rooms. We love the club level and think it is well worth the money. We enjoy meeting there with friends and also just going there to relax and have a drink or a dessert or whatever. They have had a lot to offer in all the ones we have enjoyed. We usually go there in the a.m. for a light breakfast and then stop by in late afternoon for appetizers and drinks and visiting and also end up there late for dessert. We frequently meet friends when we travel so that works great for all of us. Enjoy your trip.

I stayed at the JW Marriott for Thanksgiving. The two hotels are side by side on the Grande Lakes resort property. The Ritz pool isn't really as interesting for kids as the Marriott pool. I think you may be able to use the Marriott lazy river pool as a guest at the Ritz. I'd call the hotel to ask.

I thought the spa was superb and our meal at Primo was one of the best I've had in Florida. Just look for my comments in early December.

Check out these photos of the properties:

June in Orlando. Full of kids everywhere. I misread your question. There will be tons of kids but the Ritz Spa pool is an oasis from them. Just go there and avoid the Marriott pool like the plague.

Why don't you consider the new Ritz on South Beach. It is all about grown up pleasures.

LilMsFoodie- Thanks for the thought but we're visiting family in Lakeland so Orlando is closer. Also, after a day at the pool we plan to spend the evening at the Hard Rock.
