Amazing Resort

The Hotel room was a little dated and moldy. But the Resort as a whole was AMAZING. Had a GREAT time. Loved the staff they were so friendly. Food was great, enjoyed the buffet everyday as well as the restraunts on site.

Hidden Jem

We stayed at the Grand Lido from Sept. 24-Oct. 1. Travelling with my boyfriend and another couple. We had an incredible time. My first impression of the resort was that yes, it is a little dated, but everything was always clean. The staff and service more than made up for this. Checkin was smooth and we were taken to our beach front room. Room was spacious and clean.The view .....amazing! We were just steps from the gorgeous beach. The water was crystal clear, nice white sand... What more could  [... read more]you ask for . The food at the resort was great. Make sure to check out Derek's jerk lamb for lunch. The buffet was open for lunch, or you could also go to the jerk hut. There you could get anything from pasta to sandwiches, jerk chicken or pork, or a burger. Great spot for lunch or dinner if you didn't want the buffet. At dinner you had a choice of 3 restaurants( italian, Mediterranean, Japanese ) they were all very good. The buffet was only open for dinner on a few special nights. We had an excellent time, and will be returning. Thanks to all the staff. You all went above and beyond. Special thanks to Paula,Keron, Dwight, and Deshane

Loved the resort

We came back from a great vacation on October 1. We have been to Jamaica 6 times and this was our second trip to the Grand Lido. The first time was many years ago when it was the original Grand Lido so we didn't know what to expect. We were not disappointed. All of the staff at the resort were great and went out of their way to make it a great experience. Another couple joined us that had never been to Jamaica before. They loved it as well and will definitely go again. This is our favorite resor [... read more]t of all that we have been at in Jamaica. If you go you have to try the jerk lamb chops. The best we have had. Cabanas on the beach would be our only recommendation for changes.

Grand Lido Negril

This Hotel was fantastic. Acces to the ocean was immediate. Beach was fantastic and very clean bottom. The small resort is showing signs of aging but it was very clean and the food was very good. 2 of the 3 restaurants on site were very tasty. Recommend the Japanese restaurant.

Grand Lido is Great!

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time the entire week! The room was besutiful and clean. The food was great (buffet). We also enjoyed the Japanese and Greek restaurants. The staff was very friendly no matter where you were on the resort. We were steps away from our room to the beach which was amazing! Night life was pretty tame but if you want a relaxing vacation with no kids this is the place to go! We have already recommended it to many people!

Great time.

Rooms were tired and need updating especially when they are trying to sell memberships. Food was plenty and very tasty. Staff were fantastic and made your stay comfortable. Service was good and housekeeping good.

Grand Lido

The beach was good....i really liked the room I had very nice view of the ocean...the room service was great. The pool wasn't that great but overall had a good vacation. oh and one of the two pools and 1 small beach is clothing optional, im not a nudist but if your into that kind of thing its available.

Lovely Resort

I really liked this resort and would go back. I found the staff member at check-in quite efficient and very courteous. I had asked for a quiet room, end of the building, and top floor and they nailed it. I loved my room. 2079. It looks out over the ocean but is not on the beach per se. The staff were lovely, and couldn't do enough for you....very attentive. The beach is the nicest I have seen. There is a smaller clothing optional beach which is also nice although they do play loud music each day [... read more]. The food was great. I do wish there had been more seafood however. You have breakfast in the large open dining room, and can also have lunch there as well. However, for lunch there are a couple other options - Reggae Cafe or the nude beach pool bar which were excellent. There are three restaurants to choose from for dinner each night where you can order seafood - shrimp or tuna. They are gearing up for renovations, and a small expansion. The resort is nice but clearly a bit tired and needs sprucing up. They said the construction is to begin in December 2014. Do take US currency. I only brought Canadian and it was a bit of a pain to change it. I could only change it at the gift shop where the exchange rate was awful. I went on the Dunn River and Falls tour which was a really nice day trip. I also did the boat trip to Rick's Café boat which includes snorkeling and then on to Rick's where you can jump off cliffs..(this is also known as the booze cruise so be prepared for a few rowdy people). My room was kept quiet clean. Jamaicans are very poor so they do rely on tips so I tipped the bus driver, tour guides, staff, the housekeeping staff member, etc and they were all so appreciative.

3 star hotel

The hotel and food are three star, but the beach is beautiful. The price is way too high for what they offer. The grounds are not impressive and there is very little entertainment. This beautiful beach needs a complete overall of the hotel, food, entertainment and staff.

Not so Grand anymore....

Tired property that I am sure was once excellent. Certainly not a 5 star as rated. Stayed one night then switched to the Riu next door. Rooms were tired (bathrooms very updated though) and smelled very musty. Food looked sketchy.

Boring

This is a resort for older people for sure, my husband and I are 27 and there was only two other couples our age. They don't have much entertainment at night and the Buffett isn't open every night so your stuck with the same gross al la cartes. There ARE dress codes for all the restaurants so if ur casual people like my husband and I , the workers will give u a hard time about what ur wearing, ie. no exposed arms for men, Which is so weird. We got denied going into most al la carte because we on [... read more]ly brought casual clothes, even tho the al la carte are so ghetto. so we had to eat at the grill most every night or order room service which was pretty awful. If u want a fun party resort, this is not the place for you. I would not go back.
