Lido Islander Inn

Needs updated entrance door didnt lock to condo, no way to turn ceiling fans off, ceiling light in master turned on by itself no way to turn off, no fire alarm, tv was broken in master bedroom.

The short walk to the beach was awesome. The property definitely needs some attention. Room was nice but could use updating. Lack of access to clean towels was unhandy.

Simple, easy, and comfortable, walk one block to the beach, and a couple blocks to st armands. Great little spot for a weekend getaway.

Older property, but excellent location. Easy check in. Comfy bed. What more could I ask for?

I was immediately texted after booking with a “free upgrade” to a larger condo, this should have been a red flag. The space we were “upgraded” to did not have a functioning tub, so I asked to move. We were moved to a different condo, still not my original reservation: the space we moved in to also did not have a functioning tub, the cold water knob is literally coming out of the tile and the knob just spins but water does not come on, the heat does not work, there are no extra blankets in the rooms, and the bathroom window does not close. This is not a rentable space. Do not stay here with your family. It was clean but you can not shower and you can not sleep without blankets. I called the host and she explained the shower was from hurricane damage. I asked about the cold temperature and she informed me that the air was warm enough. I asked about blankets and she said there are extra in the closets (there are none). I asked about the bathroom window, and again, she said it is hurricane damage. I asked why she felt this space was rentable and her explanation was “there is another rental down the street for $400 a night. This isn’t the Ritz Carlton.” I explained that the Ritz Carlton is only great if you can shower and sleep there, you know, with blankets. I asked her to consider a refund and she told me I should have complained upon check-in, which was approximately 11pm.

Heat didn’t work the last night. The spigot from the shower was hanging off the wall and the handle to adjust the water temp was leaking right into the gap between the wall and spigot. The bathroom could have been much cleaner and mold was found where the vanities door opened at the hinge side. Bed was extremely uncomfortable and wasn’t wrapped to protect from bed begs. I was told there were 12 rooms and 12 parking spots, there were only 11, had to park in the street one night thankfully it was off season so not much traffic. Sign to business was gone after the storm. Wasn’t really sure we were at the right place initially. Property still needs a bit of cleanup outside. No room service so had to catch the person who flipped the rooms to ask for more coffee, only caught her one day. The location though, that’s the start of the show! Even after all of these things, we would stay again just for the location.

Great location, good service.

Alma the maid is wonderful. She keeps it spotless and the cleanliness and location are perfect. Bed is comfy and room is clean! Really clean..I always wear slippers in hotel rooms because the floors are never clean enough, but in this room you can have bare feet! The cons.. there are no bikes and no beach chairs. No coffee in room available even though a coffee maker. Microwave and fridge worked. But coffee is necessary. I would def stay again because of location cleanliness.

Upon arrival we found the bathroom floor so wet we had to dry it with one of the clean towels to prevent slipping. There were multiple flying bugs due the moisture in room. The TV would not turn on nor the air conditioner. Upon texting the property manager received a snippy response about tv and they managed to get air working. When we returned later the air was out again. Several texts back and forth I was told they were working on the matter. Never had air return and slept uncomfortable the remainder of the night.

Sadly, I found this accommodation unacceptable.... To the point that a friend's son took it upon himself to move me to a beautiful guest apt in his condo bldg. I stayed at the Islander the first night only. It's a bare bones place in an area that is in the process of recovering from hurricane damage. That doesn't explain why i was awakened by the couple in the room next door, talking very loudly as they came in at 4:30a. They cont'd that for a while. I no sooner finally got back to sleep AND exceedingly loud construction noise started at 7a right next door.
