The Grove Resort & Spa is Orlando’s newest condo hotel.  A 2.1 million square foot development located on Lake Austin Reserve, it’s just minutes from Disney and Universal theme parks.

Designed in a contemporary Mediterranean style, The Grove Resort spans 115 acres.  And spread among 16 interconnected buildings, the property has 878 condo hotel residences, which will be sold to individual buyers.

As a condo hotel, owners of the Grove Resort & Spa will have the option to participate in a professionally-managed rental program when they’re not using their residence.  The revenue generated will help defray the costs of their ownership.  Additionally, as a condo hotel, all upkeep and maintenance will be handled by the rental management company.

The Grove Resort & Spa was built in 2008 but was never occupied.  During the financial crisis, the owners defaulted and the property reverted to the lender.  New owners purchased the development last year and invested approx. $105 million to update and upgrade the property.

When the renovation is complete, The Grove Resort & Spa will have spectacular amenities:

• Giant water theme park
• 3 large pools
• Full-service spa that services guests in the spa, poolside and in-room
• 3 large restaurants serving American and international cuisine
• Lobby bar
• 4,000 sq. ft. full bar and grill at the water park
• Full-service spa
• Fully equipped fitness center
• Boat/fishing dock with lake-related water sports – kayak/canoe/peddle board/electric motor boat tours/fishing/etc.
• Pool lounge
• Beautiful four-star quality lobby
• Grab-n-go convenience store/deli/sundry shop
• Meeting space of 7,500 sq. ft., perfect for corporate retreats, weddings & reunions
• Arcade with fun and games for all ages

Additionally, The Grove Resort & Spa now has its own $12 million water park with the following features:

• The Flow Rider, a dual-sided wave simulator for surfing
• Large lagoon-style pool with beach entry
• Interactive water-play activities with two water slides and large waterfall
• Shallow kiddie pool
• Lazy river water canal with cascading waterfalls
• 4,000 sq. ft. bar and grill

As a condo hotel, The Grove Resort & Spa offers the types of services you’d expect from an upscale resort including daily housekeeping, valet parking, concierge, daycare facility and 24-hour security.

The individual condo hotel units are also being upgraded from their original construction.  Phase one of the renovations includes approximately 300 of the 878 units, which was completed in 2017.

The units will be delivered fully furnished and with fully equipped kitchens.  Everything from flooring to the appliances will be upscale.  They’ll include:
