Great news, if true! Here's to the return of the "Grand Yuppie"! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" /> I have a (very expensive) towel with the GL logo on it. Would love to see the Lidos return!

Yahoo that was our favorite place in Jamaica. We have been there 10 times in the last 15 years. Have always met great people at the c/o beach and still stay in contact. We were looking for another place to meet up this year. Hope they confirm CO beach will stay. the place needed some work when we were there last year but we still had a great time. Doug and Kathy

Here is the press release ref the transition. They will remain adults only (although adult has been redefined as 16+ in lieu of 18+). Unfortunately it does not address the C/O area. That probably does not bode well for those that enjoy that kind of thing... Press Releases Blue Diamond Hotels & Resorts Brings Back the Grand Lido Name, Service and Style Negril, Jamaica - April 23, 2013 Blue Diamond Hotels & Resorts is pleased to announce the acquisition of Breezes Negril Resort & Spa, located in Negril, Jamaica, as of April 17, 2013. Commanding one of the Caribbean’s most desirable locations, the all inclusive resort’s 210 premium rooms and suites will continue to welcome guests with no interruption to its renowned level of service. “After much consultation with our tour operator and travel agent partners and based on feedback from loyal repeat guests, we are pleased to announce that the resort will continue offering many of the unique and friendly features that many of its guests have been accustomed to, including its extensive food and beverage program,” affirmed Jordi Pelfort, Managing Director of Blue Diamond Hotels & Resorts. “Furthermore, the resort will remain adult focused and will continue to only accommodate guests over the age of sixteen.” An enhancement process that will lead to a complete revitalization and renovation of this popular beach resort has now been fully planned and will be executed in stages over the course of the summer. There will be no disruption to the operation of the hotel or to its guests over this period. Blue Diamond Hotels & Resorts is equally pleased to reintroduce one of the Caribbean’s most prestigious and well-known brands – Grand Lido. The Grand Lido brand has long been synonymous with top quality accommodation, round-the-clock attentive service, exceptional cuisine, and pristine tropical beaches.

This fine Jamaican hotel is eager to welcome old and new guests this summer and beyond. A complete fact sheet will be made available shortly at www.bluediamondresorts.com About Blue Diamond Resorts: Blue Diamond Hotels & Resorts is an innovative hotel management company that specializes in creating differentiated brands to suit each market’s demands.

This was posted on the GLN facebook page The Hotel will in fact continue to operate a CO section as before and remain AO. The renovation will begin in the summer with light refreshing and within a year a major enhancement will begin. Todd Kirlik, Director of Sales and Marketing, USA/Canada..

The cove suites are 2 stories so there are both first floor and second floor units. Hope that helps. Doug <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
