My family and I have just returned from our 6th. stay at this resort. We were checked in by Maria who was absolutely charming AND efficient. Our room was beautifully prepared and was serviced to a very high standard daily. We stayed for 13 wonderful nights and the maid quickly adapted to OUR timing and was able to visit every... more

I was so disappointed with the Lido Beach Resort that I have joined this forum specifically to let everybody know about my families stay at this hotel. I have never done this before. Our experience (for a 4* hotel) was poor from the moment that we pulled up. There was nobody to help with our luggage and despite it being... more

This was a nice resort but the hallways needed to be vacummed and the pool was so dirty that I couldn't enjoy it. That was the one real down fall for this resort the very dirty kids pool. The adult only pool was clean but the kids pool was so bad. They came and tried to clean it with the... more

Very clean and comfortable suite. Wonderful Gulf view from the balcony. It was extremely hot when we were there, so we didn't take advantage of the pool or beach. The pool area was busy with families having a great time with their kids who didn't mind the 100+ heat index. The Lido Beach Grille on the 8th floor was fantastic.... more

Unfortunately, from the minute members of our VERY group checked in, we heard comments about the rude front desk. Being the people who picked this hotel for the over 25 families, we did not want to hear this and hoped it was not true. IT WAS!! They could not have been any more rude and un-feeling to my sick wife,... more

The pool area where the children were allowed to swim was littered with cups and beer cans. There was food all over the pool deck and the pool itself was dirty. During our stay we called the front desk at least five times to inform them of this and requested that the pool be cleaned. I truly believe that if... more

This place is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beach. The room looked out onto the two pools (one for families and one for adults) and the Gulf of Mexico. The beach was gorgeous. There is also a Tiki Bar in between the two pools with very friendly bartenders. The room was large and confortable with a very... more

My sisters and I just returned from Lido Beach Resort. We stayed from June 28 through July 2. We had a junior suite on the 12th floor. The views from the balcony were amazing. The room was clean and very comfortable and we had a small kitchen. The balcony was very large and we spent a lot of time out... more

I reserved a gulf view one bedroom suite for my husband, college aged daughter and I after reading positive reviews. My daughter and I checked into a 10th floor tower suite on June 16, and found that the suite was cramped even for the two of us. The small living room/kitchen had a vinyl recliner and an uncomfortable loveseat/pull out... more
