This was our second stay at Lido Beach Resort. We returned because our first visit was excellent and memorable, so we decided to book the same way—selecting the best room available at the highest rate through *******. Before our arrival, we received several text messages from the hotel advising us not to arrive before 4 PM, as our room would not be ready. Even after a 3.5-hour drive, we respected that request and arrived at the lobby exactly at 4 PM. To our surprise, we were assigned a room on the second floor—despite the hotel having 14 floors and us having paid top-tier pricing. We politely asked if there was any availability on a higher floor and even offered to pay for an upgrade. The manager, Chase, informed us that no higher rooms were available and added, “Well, you booked through *******. You should’ve booked directly with us.” This was frustrating and felt unfair—essentially being penalized for using a reputable booking platform. There was no mention during the booking process that room priority or floor level would depend on booking directly with the hotel. The disappointment didn’t end there. Rooms on higher floors have same-level parking access, but because we were placed on the lowest floor, the parking on that level was valet-only. We had to park on an upper level and then take the stairs or elevator down with all our luggage—adding another layer of inconvenience. Then came the final straw: mold in the shower. A piece of wood in the shower was visibly moldy and had to be removed at our request. It was unacceptable, especially for the price we paid. Had we had any other option at the time, we would have left immediately. Unfortunately, we felt stuck. We expected consistency and hospitality, but this visit felt more like a downgrade than a return to a resort we once loved. We won’t be returning.

We’ve been coming to Lido Key Beach Resort every year for my birthday since 2018, and it never gets old. It’s become such a special tradition for us. This year, they surprised us with a complimentary upgrade from a regular room to a penthouse suite. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made my birthday feel extra special. From the moment we checked in, everything felt easy and welcoming. Cara, I think that’s her name, was at the front desk the morning of July 23. She greeted us with a big smile and a warm welcome back. She offered us a welcome drink and was genuinely excited to share the news about our upgrade. She was so kind and made us feel right at home. One of the best things about this resort is the staff. They are all so friendly, helpful, and truly attentive. A lot of them have been there for years, which says a lot about how well they are treated. You can tell they care about what they do and how they treat guests. The beach is gorgeous, and the sunsets are absolutely breathtaking. One of our favorite things to do is relax in the hot tub and pool at night. It is always so peaceful and the perfect way to wind down after a day in the sun. They offer beach chairs and umbrellas for just fifteen dollars a day, and that price has not changed since we started coming. That kind of consistency is one of the many reasons we keep coming back year after year. The food at the resort is decent. It is not gourmet, but it is convenient and satisfying when you want to stay close to the beach and pool. Honestly, the hardest part of the trip is always leaving. We love everything about this place. Lido Key Beach Resort truly feels like a second home, and we are already counting down the days until next year.

This Hotel has done a remarkable job getting it back together after being hit with 2 hurricanes. The staff is excellent and very focused to insure their guests have a great experience. From the front desk staff to the guys on the beach, we could not have asked for a better stay. We had a family emergency and had to leave a little early and the front desk handled it with total professionalism. Just one thing, which is not the Resorts fault, is due to the hurricanes, there is a bad problem with mosquitoes, so bring some spray. Thank you Lido Beach Resort and the team driven staff for making our stay fantastic.

The location of the Lido Beach was great. It is right on the water and had great pools and the beach was adjacent to the property. The rooms have been redone but could have been cleaner. The bathroom could have used a good scrubbing as well as the floor in the room which was full of sand. The price was definitely too high given that there was no balcony or no where to sit outside of the room. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again but in the newer tower. .

This hotel is a perfect example of how poor management can ruin a great location. The customer service is completely incompetent and negligent. They respond to problems either extremely late or not at all. The most serious issue we faced: I accidentally left my wallet at checkout. When we called, they confirmed they had found it and requested my email to arrange the shipment. After waiting for more than a week and receiving no update, we called again—only to find out they lost the wallet they had already secured. This is a clear example of gross negligence and failure in their duty of care. Even while staying there, hotel staff privately complained about how disorganized and irresponsible the management is. We are now pursuing legal action against the hotel for their negligence and mishandling of personal property. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this place. A beautiful location ruined by unprofessional and careless management.

We stayed at the sister resort, Cirque, but utilized the amenities at the Lido Resort. Let me just say, the tiki bar, pools and beach access were absolutely amazing. Tariq, Doug, Alex and Shelby were the best bartenders at the Pool Tiki Bar! Made our trip that much more enjoyable. We will definitely be back! :)
