My stay at Lido was wonderful
Pros:

The place was so amazing and the staff from reception to the kitchen they were so friendly

Cons:

I enjoyed breakfast and we got it free as a token of apology since we arrived in a roomed that we booked and the aircon was not working, we were then changed to other one which was also amazing.
