We spent a wonderful afternoon at the Tiki Bar with friends from the North. What a great location, right on the beach. The service was outstanding. We were their for more than a few hours and our waiter was very attentive without being obtrusive. We enjoyed a delicious lunch of chicken quesadillas with a tasty mango salsa, chicken/ tuna salad...

This is a beautiful location right on the beach. I made a reservation at the last minute and checked in on Tuesday night, January 24th around 7:00pm. First, I’d like to say that the front desk person was very helpful, and she was very efficient. I put my things into my room, room 435, and immediately met with some colleagues... More

Thank you for sharing your experience at the Lido Beach Resort. I can certainly understand your disappointment after reading your review. The Lido Beach Resort goes to great lengths to ensure this type of problem is prevented. I am very sorry we fell short in this particular room and ruined an otherwise wonderful stay. I would be more than happy... More

We had reserved a "regular" room for one night - a room not overlooking the Gulf. When we checked in, I mentioned to the pleasant front desk person, Susan, that it was a "big" birthday for my husband. She upgraded us to an oceanfront room at no extra charge. We were delighted with this excellent customer service. The beach is... More

We were researching pro's and con's of the atlantic vs. gulf coast for places to get away from the frigid north and tried Lido Beach a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Service is excellent, rooms are clean, and all was as expected or better. We just tried three days but will go for longer next trip down. More

We recently stayed here for a night with our 4 year old daughter and had a pleasant stay. The staff was all incredibly nice and helpful. We arrived early, and they found an open room for us on a top floor in the tower right away, as well as arranged for our room to be next to my parents' room... More

This is the best hotel on Lido Beach. There are not many to choose from in the first place. I have been coming to this hotel since 2002 when they built the south tower. You must stay in the south tower. It's wonderful with a full kitchen complete with tableware and all kind of accessories. The bathrooms are large and... More
