Scuba Caribe is one of the major scuba companies in Jamaica - handling multiple resorts. It sounds to me like that decisions for the new owners are yet to be finalized. Until they do, no one can know what will happen.
While facts and truthful information do help people, guesses, rumors and speculation do not. Please refrain from guesses, rumors and speculation.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Negril.com - For the vacation that never ends!
when it was Grand Lido they did a pretty good business....
the food was excellent as I went der and hungout a few times on a guest pass......
the reason more people weren't going there was the cost......

LATEST PRESS RELEASE FROM BLUE DIAMOND RESORTS:
Blue Diamond Hotels & Resorts Brings Back the Grand Lido Name,
Service and Style
Negril, Jamaica - April 23, 2013
Blue Diamond Hotels & Resorts is pleased to announce the acquisition of Breezes Negril Resort & Spa, located in Negril, Jamaica, as of April 17, 2013.
Commanding one of the Caribbean’s most desirable locations, the all inclusive resort’s 210 premium rooms and suites will continue to welcome guests with no interruption to its renowned level of service.
“After much consultation with our tour operator and travel agent partners and based on feedback from loyal repeat guests, we are pleased to announce that the resort will continue offering many of the unique and friendly features that many of its guests have been accustomed to, including its extensive food and beverage program,” affirmed Jordi Pelfort, Managing Director of Blue Diamond Hotels & Resorts. “Furthermore, the resort will remain adult focused and will continue to only accommodate guests over the age of sixteen.”
An enhancement process that will lead to a complete revitalization and renovation of this popular beach resort has now been fully planned and will be executed in stages over the course of the summer. There will be no disruption to the operation of the hotel or to its guests over this period.
Blue Diamond Hotels & Resorts is equally pleased to reintroduce one of the Caribbean’s most prestigious and well-known brands – Grand Lido. The Grand Lido brand has long been synonymous with top quality accommodation, round-the-clock attentive service, exceptional cuisine, and pristine tropical beaches. The former Breezes Negril Resort & Spa is the first resort to be re-launched under the Grand Lido brand and Blue Diamond is both honoured and proud to be entrusted with the preservation of these exceptional attributes.
This fine Jamaican hotel is eager to welcome old and new guests this summer and beyond. A complete fact sheet will be made available shortly at www.bluediamondresorts.com
About Blue Diamond Resorts:

It currently operates well over 5,000 rooms in all inclusive resorts in six outstanding Caribbean destinations under its "Memories Resorts & Spa", "Royalton Luxury Resorts" and “Grand Lido” brands
UPDATE: I just called the parent company and was told that scuba diving will NOT be complimentary but they will continue to offer complimentary scuba lessons.
They no longer show the clothing optional beach & hotel section listed.
Complete renovations of the resorts will be done in sections, starting on June 15th, and will last for several months.
They will continue of offer reservation restaurants, but only have Munasan & Lido Café listed. They also show a Mexican Restaurant and a European restaurant listed, with no names.
Beach bars will remain open, but they don’t show a piano bar listed. The agent told me that this doesn’t mean that they will close the piano bar for sure, but that it may just be missing on their information sheet due to the transition.
They will now welcome guests over 16 years of age; no longer just over 18.
For a resort that was fading I don't know why they would eliminate their "loyal clientle" who stay on the nude side? Re-book every year? The Cove side is very nice. Lets face it,the rooms at Hedo need Major upgrades.
The rooms at Hedo are getting major upgrades...they will be gutted and completely redone. There also will be a new large c/o pool installed and the disco completely renovated. Good things are already starting to happen there and I am sure once done the loss of some of the clientele from Grand Lido will move across the road.Originally Posted by Fred Stripe
