Lido Beach Resort was exactly what we needed for our anniversary celebration as well as our “Babymoon”! The resort was easy to navigate and our room was spacious and comfortable. The entire staff members (both on property and the beach) were friendly and knowledgeable in helping us in any way possible. We really appreciated the transportation to St. Armand’s Circle. Overall, we felt so relaxed and can’t wait to come back in the future!
Beach was clean beautiful!

Was given a room and as we opened our room door a family was already in it . Very much a bad situation and experience to be in. Not a very good start .. Also, wasn’t aware that resort guests had to make reservations for the resort restaurant.. disappointed and should have been an automatic option when booking . Nevertheless, our first experience was good but expected better out of a resort hotel.

Expensive and below expectation

The beach is amazing, the Hotel itself is overpriced for what it is. Room had a weird smell, windows to the catwalk and the 8 story parking garage across. Mattresses were just horribly soft. The „lagoon“ in between hotel and parking garage just looks deplaced. There are no water activities as promised and promoted on the website. Restaurant and coffee shop clearly overpriced. At least they don‘t charge for self-parking on the 6th floor. But overall it’s not what you expect from a resort.

Decent with a few complaints

Had an ok time at this resort. Just a few complaints….our toilet didn’t flush great, water constantly ran. Some items in the room could use updating. The luggage rack was not sturdy enough to hold a suitcase. Fan speed could not be adjusted. One night walking back to our room, we walked past a room with blinds open, a naked man passed out from drugs and or alcohol, hunched over the bed in front of a webcam. Disturbing for a family resort.

Best property on Lido Beach

Overall, we had an amazing vacation. The location, amenities, and service were excellent. Diego at the Tiki Bar was outstanding; he truly exemplified good service with kindness and attention to detail. The beach attendants and Beach Market Cafe staff were also very thoughtful, warm, and attentive. My only criticism was the condition of the room. There was scuffing and unfinished paint on the walls, and the walls were SO thin, which I would not expect at this price point.
