Best property on Lido Beach

Overall, we had an amazing vacation. The location, amenities, and service were excellent. Diego at the Tiki Bar was outstanding; he truly exemplified good service with kindness and attention to detail. The beach attendants and Beach Market Cafe staff were also very thoughtful, warm, and attentive. My only criticism was the condition of the room. There was scuffing and unfinished paint on the walls, and the walls were SO thin, which I would not expect at this price point.

The staff is very kind. Avoid the Tiki Tower. Book the Palm Tower. It’s beautiful. The resort is well kept but the Tiki Tower is not on par with the rest of the resort. That “Tower” has a 2-star hotel vibe. I made the mistake of booking the Tiki Tower. The room had a few issues and was overall just not what we were expecting. Thankfully we were able to move to the Palm Tower and it was much more in line with the quality and vibe we were expecting. The staff was very understanding and accommodating.

Great staff / service and at a level comparable to Four Seasons Luxury. Pros: 1. Good car building parking. 2. Auto EV chargers (4) at ~ 9kW ( trickle ) from Blink Charge. $0.24/kWhr ( $0.13 is lowest I have seen in Orlando and Tampa / Sarasota 3. Great service. 4. Two nice pools. 5. Amazing sand and sandy beach and good for safe family swimming with close adult supervision. 6. Great 8th floor restaurant with amazing “Gulf” and sunset views for dinner and a breakfast ( 7 am to 11 am ). Good Tiki bar and cafe. 7. Diesel generator on 3 third floor of garage and tested daily for 30 mins. 8. Circle shops within 0.70 mile and public Trolley stops at beach parking / bathrooms next door. Cons: 1. 2024 hurricanes (2) decimated outer barrier islands ( 2 - 4 feet in ground floor circle stores ) with salt-water-damaged vegetation damaged or dead. End :: End :
