Best experience ever!

Had a great time! Exceptional service from staff: Simone, (made every day special) Peaches(went out of her way to get me the right olives from my martini) , Phlisha (cook),( out of her way to serve authentic cuisine ) Kirk ( kept us hydrated) and Andre, our exceptional fitness coach who went out of his way to provide services on premises. Whatever class we wanted he provided. These people couldn't do enough to make our stay fantastic. I totally recommend this place. Food, drinks, service is great. Can't wait to come back!!! F

There’s no place like home.

The staff here is amazing!!!! Michelle & Romaine were our butlers who took such good care of us. The pool staff: Captain Kirk, Simone, Gaylana, Peaches, Damon & so many others were so warm & welcoming. The place is gorgeous but we will always come back for the staff. They are what make this place so special.

Naked Fun in the Sun

The Grand Lido Negril is where you want to go if you like to be naked in the sun and be pampered by the friendliest people on the planet. Our butlers, Romaine and Michelle, were outstanding and went above and beyond on several occasions. You should not hesitate to request them for your trip.

The activities coordinator at the pool, Simone, was a hoot. She kept us laughing all day as did Captain Kirk. You can tell they love their job and they made our vacation so much more enjoyable.

We had the presidential suite. It was very large and the hot tub on the deck was great. They actually changed the water in our hot tub daily. However, we did feel a little out of things so we booked a swim out room for our next trip. But if you prefer lots of quiet time, the suite is a great option and it is only a short walk down the stairs to the pool area.

The food was reasonable, but it was not as good as we anticipated. When we were last at a Lido resort, more than 20 years ago, the food was spectacular. The quality has definitely declined, but there were exceptions and some of our meals were excellent.

We were blessed with an excellent group of people which always makes a huge difference on an all inclusive vacation. If you’re planning a trip in April 2026, you can party with some fantastic people between April 5 and 20. Hope to see you there!

We love this place!

The butler service (Michelle and Romaine) are absolutely wonderful! They accommodated us the whole time, drinks, dinner, activities, you name it! They also set up a romantic foam bath with balloons and grass tapestries to celebrate our engagement! Simone, Peaches, and Captain Kirk at the pool hosted us for such a fun time with the trivia, entertainment, drinks, lunches and hospitality! What an amazing trip for our first time in Jamaica! ❤️

Jovi gym

Jovie was excellent and provided us with an amazing TRX workout! I’m definitely planning on coming back to take more classes! The gym is also open at 6 AM and close at 8 PM. The staff are all friendly even at the front desk shout out to all the hard work and staff and also to Jovi for a fantastic TRX session. Do you remember that these instructors do a lot of different classes as well as yoga TRX kickboxing Boot Camp aqua fit and other circuit sessions so while you’re here on vacation, you should definitely try. Thank you for your time and patience hard-working stuff.

Grand Lido + HideAway + Royalton = EPIC trip for family of 12!

Background and context: Wife and I have travelled to Jamaica 6 times previously, all spent in Ochi at Couples San Souci (adult couples only with Au Naturale area). Couples have set a high bar of reference for us with excellent food, service and camaraderie at Sunset Beach. With a recent passing of my mother in-law, we set out to book an all-inclusive family “celebration of life” trip for 12 family members, including our 4-year-old grandson.
The Royalton crescent shaped property in Negril (Autograph Collection / Marriott Bonvoy) consists of three separate connected resorts; 1 - Royalton (Family), 2- Hideaway@ Royalton (Adult only), and 3 – Grand Lido @ Royalton (Adult Au Naturale). Family was spread across all three resorts; my wife and I stayed at Grand Lido for the 10-day duration of the trip. Note - this is the only resort in Jamaica, possibly the world that could accommodate this diverse family trip! Self-booking this trip was complicated….

Grand Lido: The Grand Lido resort is isolated at one end of the Royalton complex, blocked visually for Au Naturale privacy and access limited (residents identified by a unique red wrist band). Residents of Grand Lido have access to all the restaurants and amenities from Hideaway and Royalton resorts. Grand Lido only dedicated food and drink (Lunch/Afternoon only) are located at the secluded Grand Lido Pool / Outdoor area.

Grand Lido rooms: We had a swim out suite. Open the patio door and step right into the pool. An awesome way to begin and end your day! Large, clean and comfortable, the room is equipped with a Jacuzzi tub and double rain shower heads. The room had a stocked mini bar and safe. A call out - housekeeping service from Toysia was excellent!

Grand Lido Butlers: Think of the Butlers as your personal assistant for your stay. Our Butlers, Michelle and Romaine helped make this trip EPIC! Easy communications with both of the via WhatsApp and in person. They were keenly focused on us having an excellent experience and helped us tremendously coordinating the activities and reservations for all 12 of us.

Grand Lido Pool / Bar / Food / Activities: The pool area is the heart of the Grand Lido experience. The “Mayor” (as we call her) of this area is Simone Johnson, an amazing human who leads wickedly enjoyable activities. She has a huge heart, wonderful sense of humor and made this trip unforgettable. The swim up bar was tended to by yet another amazing person – Peaches, who mixes up the most excellent drinks, is personable and a joy to be around. The chemistry between Simone and Peaches is excellent – all smiles! Last but not least, our Lido grill chef Phelisia whipped up the BEST food we had at Royalton. Tasty and tailored – really good. Supporting cast of Tameka, Kirk and the Acqua-Fit team reinforced the excellent experience. All of these wonderful people work well as a team to support, nurture and form a camaraderie of Au Naturale residents. We have many new friends from this trip who with newly shared excellent experiences!
Grand Lido Front Desk / Lobby: Grand Lido is fortunate to have Crystal Gayle running the front desk! She was invaluable and personable, untangling our mess of reservations (6 total rooms, 12 people across 3 resorts) navigating broken processes and making it look easy... Always focused on creating excellent guest experience and owning issues to resolution.

Final Thoughts: This was an excellent 5-star trip that brought our family even tighter together, yet opportunities exist for improvement (through my eyes as a well-travelled former executive and Marriott Bonvoy Titanium for Life member). 1) Food quality very inconsistent – more institutional than 5-star level with exception to Lido lunches. No comparison to consistently excellent food at Couples. 2) Buildings / pools in need of maintenance and/or renovation (missing tiles, broken hot tub etc....). I understand that Lido is closing for 2 months this summer to address. 3) Solicitation for excursions / time share a bit heavy. I was clearly targeted with 6 rooms, 12 people across 3 resorts – people knew my name... 4) Broken processes in restaurants – I don’t need to be asked 2+ times at every restaurant if we have food allergies (hostess/host and then wait staff. Ask us once.

All said, we can't wait to return!!

Sunrise yoga

Yoga with Garrison was an excellent experience. His guidance was clear, supportive, and calming throughout the session. He created a welcoming space that made it easy to relax, focus, and fully engage with the practice. I left feeling both physically refreshed and mentally centered. Highly recommend his classes to anyone looking to deepen their yoga journey or simply enjoy a peaceful, rejuvenating practice.

Simple, yet breathtaking

This has been a great stay, good food and awesome staff is all that's needed to dampen the resorts issues. The gym is the best place to be and the instructor Alpha made it even better. The vibe team at night is one of a kind, Baby Dragon and Astro were loaded with energy and care. Overall, staying here will be uncomfortable if you're picky but if ypur simple like I am, this will be an awesome vacation.

A Wonderful Birthday Escape

Grand Lido Negril is a great place to celebrate special occasions as a couple. The staff are naturally invested in ensuring you have a good time and always manage to blow my mind each time. Just celebrated my husbands birthday with them and he had the most amazing time. Thanks to Simone, Peaches, Ricardo, Michelle, Kirk and the entire Grand Lido team for always making us feel right at home.

Great employee thats what make the hotel great

If you’re looking for that perfect blend of laid-back island vibes, friendly faces, and unforgettable drinks in an all-natural paradise in Negril, Grand Lido resort is the place to be.

From the moment we arrived, we felt the energy. The bar is the heart of this place lively, welcoming, and full of great music and even better conversation. It’s not just a bar; it’s a vibe.

Special shoutouts to some incredible people who made our experience one we’ll never forget:

• Phlisha Her lunch was amazing, and very accommodating
• Peaches The mixologist wizard — every drink was perfectly made and she always had a smile for us.
• Simone and Captain Spike Brought the energy that kept us dancing and laughing every day.

Their warmth, professionalism, and fun-loving spirit are the reasons we’re already planning our return. You don’t just visit Grand Lido Negril you become part of the community.

We came as guests — and we’re leaving as friends.

4 days at Grand Lido !! 🥳

The service there was phenomenal! Michelle/Romaine/Crystal was super nice and helpful throughout my entire stay. The house keeper toycia was on point with handling my room which was super clean every day I was there. The staff was the best part of my trip! I felt right at home. The food was good it actually tasted like good Jamaican rather than that generic food you get at a RIU. I would definitely go back if I go to negril again. But if the same staff isn’t there when I go back I want a refund lol. Don’t want no one else. Thank you for everything!!!

Another enjoyable vacation

We recently came back from another amazing vacation at Grand Lido Negril, and once again, it did not disappoint. The staff truly make this place special and are the main reason we keep coming back.

A big shoutout to Kimika, who always made sure everything was running smoothly. She was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout our stay. Our butlers, Michelle and Romaine, were fantastic — attentive, kind, and always one step ahead of our needs.

Simone kept the energy up every day with fun activities and great entertainment. Peaches at the bar was an absolute gem — always cheerful and mixing up delicious drinks. And we have to mention Pleashes, the beach cook, who made some of the best meals we had during our trip.

We also had the pleasure of meeting Mark, the new restaurant manager. He’s doing a great job, and you can already see the positive changes he's bringing.

Thank you to everyone at Grand Lido for making our stay so enjoyable. We felt welcomed and well taken care of the entire time.
Can’t wait to come back!
