8.6/10
I had an amazing week at Lido Beach Resort. The location was perfect with a beautiful private beach just steps away. The room was modern, spacious, and impeccably clean, boasting beautiful views of the gulf. However, the dining prices were quite steep, and that was a downside. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place, but be prepared for high dining costs.
