I booked the Lido Islander for a night to do a photo shoot around the area and it was definitely more than I expected. We had a two bedroom, it was clean and comfortable and homey. It is also an excellent value. They are located in a very safe and beautiful area which is close to everything (beach, shopping, dining... More

We enjoyed our stay at the Lido Islander. Very close to the beach, shopping & restaurants. A nice change from the bigger motel/hotel types. Quiet & peaceful... We would stay here again! More

Am somewhat loathe to review since I don't want to the the secret out! This place is: 1. Steps from the beach and from St. Armand's Circle, 2. Clean and comfortable, 3. Excellent value for the money. Recommended! More

Small but cozy rooms. Like a very personal B&B. We only missed the breakfast and please do change the locks to some of the rooms. More

The rooms are different sizes, and we had the smallest, but it was clean, neat, tidy. Because it was small, we spent time on the porch that had rockers. Everyone else staying there seemed friendly, but not "in your face." People generally used the patio area (which is 30-40 feet from the building) for socializing. The check-in system is a... More

We have been going to Lido Beach area for several years. We usually stay at the Holiday Inn but were traveling with our son and daughter in law, so we decided to save everyone some money and find a place to share. We ended up at the Lido Islander in a 2 bedroon unit. The location is great because you... More

AND it was only 3 blocks from st.... More

The image and map may not be where you stay. As another mentioned, my room was 8 blocks further away. Not bad but much further from St Armands than indicated by map. I stayed in unit 24. It is a large studio with kitchenette. Wireless worked no problem. The room was clean and well furnished. It is not fancy but... More

This is a beach rental rather than a hotel. If you are interested in being a short walk to the beach and a short walk to fabulous St. Armands Circle's shops restaurants and bars, and are willing to give up luxury - this is your spot. The room was clean and bed was great. Management could step it up a... More

The location, the price, the ambience were all superior. We had a wonderful time and can hardly wait to return. The staff was accomodating and the pool made a wonderful place to relax and visit with our guests. The accomodations had everything we needed. The bed was sagging and I wish it had a mattress pad for hygiene's sake. The... More
