Spent 3 nights at this hotel. Great location as directly on the beach and within 10 minutes walk of a great shopping and eating area of Armand Circle.

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

Two wardrobes with many hangers. Plenty of mirrors and a dressing table in the bedroom (something my Wife tells me is... more

My wife and I have been to Hawaii twice all over California and Florida and The Lido Beach Resort just feels like home away from home. From the Management and staff to the facility and location everything just... more

Early morning until 9am and late afternoon from 5pm is great time to stay in the... more
