I would say Grand Pineapple for SURE! Aside from a huge price difference, GP is located in the middle of the 7 mile beach and Lido is on another beach. I stayed at GP twice, and will return in 2014. My friends stayed at both and overwhelmingly preferred GP. My friends found the guests and the staff at Lido stuffy. The rooms at Lido would be better, and the food might be better BUT the ambiance of staying on the 7 mile beach is beyond compare. There is so much within walking distance. At Lido you have a small , but nice beach, but you cannot walk to anything. You would have to take a taxi or a really long walk to the 7 mile beach. If I was in my 30's I would never consider Lido, unless you are scared tourists wanting to stay behind the hotel walls. The staff at GP is very nice and the rooms are all right and the food was decent . I really think you would be happier at GP. I also think Lido would be a disappointment. Go Grand Pineapple!
