I had a lovely time at Lido Beach Resort, with a stunning private beach and two clean pools. My room was spacious and had a fantastic kitchen setup, though the beds were a bit firm for my taste. The food at the poolside Tiki Bar was enjoyable, and the convenient shuttle service to St. Armands Circle made exploring easy. However, I did encounter some issues with the shower that needed attention and the check-in process could use a friendlier touch.
