Showcasing a breathtaking natural setting - where brilliant sunshine warms a gleaming beach and moss-draped oaks and magnolias frame impossibly blue lagoons - this Florida resort hotel is the quintessential retreat. Retreat to a destination beyond compare, where the hardest work you'll do is deciding how to relax … from our Cabana Beach Club and wide range of family activities to the delightfully pampering Spa at Sawgrass. Escape to this luxurious Florida hotel resorts, with exceptional features that include:

Guests can call the hotel directly at (800) 457-4653, Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 5 pm.  During off hours the phones will route to Marriott Central Reservations, who will be able to assist your guests as well.  Our in house agents do know the property best, however, so I recommend that your guests call during office hours if at all possible.  Make sure that the guests mention that they are with Florida Fire Chiefs to get your group rate.

Guests can also book only by going to:  http://marriott.com/property/propertypage/jaxsw?groupCode=ffcffca&app=resvlink 

They can also just go to:  http://www.sawgrassmarriott.com

Select Reservations, then enter your group code ffcffca. However the first link enters the code for them, so it's usually easier.

Please note that guests can only book online rooms for your contracted block.  Rooms for pre and post nights, Villa Suites, or after your cutoff date do still need to be booked with reservations.
