Luxury Villas

Pros: Beautiful view, nice house staff, great food, daily housekeeping Cons: cold jacuzzis, complicated communication, stains on some furniture, noisy beds, thin bed linens, dead cockroach on stairs At 8:10am on 2/22/26, the day we were supposed to check out, violence erupted and overwhelmed the city. Hotels were locked down. Airport was closed. Transportation services ceased. Immediate focus shifted to public safety and shelter in place orders. 24 hrs later, before the city’s infrastructure was reopened, the host became aggressive to resume payment else vacate immediately. We prepared to vacate the moment vetted transportation to our destination became available, which was 4pm that day. The host was angered, concerned only with extracting max payment possible and expressed zero concern for its guests and their children during an active shelter in place crisis. Even members of the house staff at the time of our departure had yet to return home out of concern for their safety.

Casa Lido is the kind of place that instantly makes us feel at home—and honestly has raises the bar for what a vacation stay can be. This was our second time. The house itself is beautiful and set up perfectly for genuinely relaxing. But what truly made the experience special were the people. Sara’s cooking was a highlight of the entire trip. Every meal felt thoughtful, fresh, and full of flavor—like the kind of food you end up talking about long after you’re back home. Whether it was breakfast to start the day or a dinner that brought everyone together, Sara made it feel effortless and genuinely memorable. Linda, the house manager, was amazing! She was warm, organized, and always one step ahead, in the best way. Anything we needed was handled smoothly, and her calm, welcoming presence made the whole stay feel easy and elevated. You could tell she genuinely cared that we had a great experience. Casa Lido is the kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again.
