We stayed in the older four story building and chose the higher priced room with a water view which was worth every penny. It was very quiet during our stay once the weekend was over. We found the staff very... more

My wife and I recently got married at Lido Beach Resort. I cannot speak enough about how wonderful Lido and the staff were. We had a semi large wedding of 120 guests, with about 30 of those flying in from up north. Lauren was our wedding coordinator and she was just amazing. The staff, rooms, property, pools, and beach were... more

The swimming pool and bar area is good and safe for small kids. The restaurant on the seventh floor serves very good food and has a great view. The major downside of... more

Pros: -clean -on the beach -food pretty good in all the restaurants -food very reasonably priced -walking distance (15 minutes) to Armand Circle -free shuttle to Armand Circle -all but one staff person we encountered very... more

We stayed at Lido Beach for 3 days following our 10/03 wedding. The hotel upgraded our room to a suite with a beautiful view without prompting and was extremely accomidating. There was a free shuttle offered until 10:30 PM nightly to St Armands Circle (where all the shops and resteraunts are nearby) and we utilized this each day we were... more

We have been hosting an annual conference for 25 years and this is one of very few hotels that deliver what is promised. I cannot say enough about Karen Rangel in sales and Karen... more

We have now been to this resort each of the last two years. Each time was for about 10 days or so.
