Great location and a quick shuttle ride to the beautiful Lido beach. The staff at the beach club were great, especially Lea! I went for a girls trip but definitely couples and family friendly. I will definitely be back.

Regency Inn & Suites
Our room had a kitchen and a seperate area with a sofa sleeper. Housekeeping came every day and did a wonderful job.
