Having stayed in All Inclusives before but never at Grand Lido, I expected similar services. My husband & I stayed 6 nights at Grand Lido Braco in Runaway Bay, Jamaica. While the trip from Montego Bay Airport to the resort was fine and the actual check in procedure went smoothly, I was disappointed from that point on. In an all-inclusive, I truly expect a little bit of the exceptional. Grand Lido did not provide this. The grounds were well kept and rooms were clean and fresh. However, the services such as dining rooms, beaches, etc. were not up to my expectations. A warning was in the room to not leave room service trays outside the door because of feral cats. This was apparently a very good warning as the nights were filled with their howling -- all over the resort. You would have tought, with that many cats around, no rodent problems but I saw a LOT of rodent droppings on the patio each morning, all over the deck chairs and tables. The resort had backhoes on the beach at 5 a.m., dredging sand and pulling it back onto the beach. Our room, unfortunately, was directly in front of the area the backhoe dredged -- a lot of noise at 5 a.m. When I inquired if they could do this at a more reasonable hour, I was told that was when they had to do this. This dredging not only produced noise from the machinery but also from the 8-10 men outside arguing about the best way to do this. The dining areas were not as lavish as I have experienced at Sandals nor at RIU resorts and I was disappointed in this. The overall appearance and cleanliness of the resort was fine, with the rodent problem exception.
One other issue is we had a medical emergency while there. I called the front desk for a doctor and an hour later, the in-house nurse appeared. This person was at least 80 and was unwilling to do anything except ask what the problem was. I persisted and we were able to have a doctor called. The doctor took yet another hour to appear and charged me $200 and did absolutely nothing. I know we're dealing with a third-world country but the resort should have a little better access to help in this event. We were in a situation, with my husband's health, to need to cut the trip short and come back to the states. The hotel was totally uncooperative in assisting me with an English-speaking representative for the airline -- they constantly connected me to Spanish-only numbers (never understood that as we were in Jamaica, not Mexico!). I finally got through to family at home and they arranged the return from that end. It seemed the hotel was amenable and friendly as long as nothing out of the ordinary occurs. This should be addressed by the management and should be considered by travelers.

When we arrive we checked in and I aksed where all the people were? I was told down by the pool. Got everything together went out to the MAIN pool. There was only the bar tender. So I got in the water my husband sat at the bar for 3 hours then 2 more people came and said where are the people? I said I am here. They asked us where everyone was. The bartender said this is slow season... Slow season ok 4 people??? Oh and the other are on the natural side. Where is the entertainment team? Where is the mummy wrap the music trivia all the games? The entertainment team is around I was told ( Iguess on the nude side)? Out of bordem and desperation I walked to the nude side there were people there laying out. A few doing some pool volley ball... Not enough for me to get naked to have some entertainment. IF YOU ARE ANACTIVE PERSON THIS IS NOT THE RESORT FOR YOU. Divers.... the sign says 9am advance 11am intermediate 2pm begingers. Ok at 9 am everyone was there ready to go on the first dive and only dive. Being advance I would have liked to have been a little deeper than 40 feet waiting on the new people to descend down the rope. This happened everyday. Volleyball they put up and take down the net. You can not just go up and play beach volleyball.
I went to the manager the 2nd day I was there to be transfered they said they could not because we had gotten a discount. I thought since I paid my money to superclubs I got the same options? If I was not happy I could be moved> NOT THE CASE.
So spent hours and hours trying to be transfered... paid for a day ticket $130.00 to Breezes Runaway Bay. Worth every penny! Volleyball, pool party, drinking music trivia and I didnt have to be nude to do any of this!!!!

I didnt want to be nude to have fun

I didnt like being treated like a 2nd class person because I didnt book through superclubs.

Didnt like diving

If you are in to realxing and being naked this is for you. If you are active and want the option of having some entertainment this is not for you.

My wife and I stayed in GLB this past July and what can we say, this place is Paradise. We were looking for an all inclusive resort adults only with a chance to indulge in the Au Natural experience . We booked originally on the textile side but the only time we spent any time there was to eat and sleep. The nude side of the resort was phenomenal. It was the first time for my wife and I and we felt relaxed from the moment we took our clothes off. Everyone made you feel welcome and were so friendly. It was almost like pulling teeth to talk to people on the other side.

We are already booking our return trip. We met so many great people and our new Friends from FULL MOON were the best ever. we didn't get to exchange emails so if anyone knows of the group we would love to be put in contact with eveyone. Especially our friends from Nova Scotia, Conneticut and of course Colorado... This is the place to stay for relaxtion and fun. The food and staff were incredible and made you feel like a local.

Grand Lido Braco is full of exciting activities, amazing staff, and of course a beautiful piece of the Jamaican coast. At the end of the week my guest and I were nearly ready to become permanent residents. The beach is by far the most beautiful I've seen in my travels and all of the staff at GLB was amazingly friendly and eager to help. The entertainment crew provided constant games, mixers, and prize opportunities to keep you interested. The accommodations were great. Roomy, spectacular views, and kept very clean. I loved the enclosed feeling of the resort, how you have everything you need in your own private coastal town, as it is set up like a seaside village. The food was always delicious, if you visit try the fudge brownies. I had hopes of visiting other resorts on my next trip to Jamaica, but honestly I don't think I'll ever be able to go anywhere else after Grand Lido Braco.
Highly recommended
