The Grand Lido is a sub-part of the huge Royalton complex in Negril, Jamaica. There's the Royalton, Royalton Hideaway, which is adults only, and the Grand Lido, which is clothing optional. The Grand Lido is small, only 26 rooms, but you have all of the other resort facilities available. We booked May 7-12, so we'll see. The resort looks very nice. There's even butler service, though I'm not clear if that's personal butlers or just for the area. We've been to Hidden Beach and were not really that impressed for the price they charge, so we're looking for an alternative. The Tripadvisor reviews for the Grand Lido are beyond bizarre. There seems to be an absolute obsession with Andre, the fitness instructor. Most reviews seem to talk mostly about him and the fitness activities. There's not much about the resort itself other than generic praise.

For a long time it was really a work in progress, but now it's supposed to be all done now including the bar, beach grill, and hot tub. Clothing optional and other resort customers are not allowed. Custom wrist band color, for what I understand. The rooms appear to be much nicer than those at Hidden Beach and all of the facilities are brand new, so we're hoping for a luxury experience.
