This makes it ideal for enjoying outdoor activities, exploring the local attractions, and relaxing by the water.

10/10 Excellent

"Todo es súper súper bueno ese hotel me encantó la piscina con el agua calientita fue en tiempo de lluvia y no salimos de la piscina"

Lido Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable Room but it needed to be cleaned, it was never vacuumed the entire time we were there. Lots of dust under the mattress and very visible on the box spring. Restaurants were good, very fun tiki bar and beautiful beach! I really liked this resort, I wish I would’ve requested better cleaning in the room ."
