Twenty-four members of our family, aged 2 years to 89 years, gathered here for a family function. The suites were large enough to accomodate families with kids and for the family to gather in the evenings. Kitchens were handy for storing beverages and snacks. Our room had a pretty nice view but the views varied; if you can't get a... more

We worked with staff members at this hotel for an entire year to plan our perfect wedding and reception. When initially booking our reception, we were quoted pricing for the actual reception and hotel rooms for our guests. After we signed a contract to have our wedding here, they notified us the room pricing we received was not correct -... more

The Lido Beach has a terrific spot on a stunning beach which has calm and clean water and beautiful sand. 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

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. 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

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

For 2 years in a row our company has used Lido Beach Resort for our annual user's training conference with an average attendance of 120-160 people. 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
