Lido Palace

Best as always

From the moment we were greeted by Francesca with her beautiful smile and genuine passion for hospitality I knew we picked the right place to stay. The grounds are immaculate and the view of the lake and mountains spectacular. The food is amazing and the sommelier is a real stand out such a wonderful young man with so much knowledge and passion for his job. The pools are pristine and soothing. The rooms are immaculate a credit to the housekeeping staff. I travel the world regularly and stay in the top hotels of the world. Let me assure you this is one of the very best. My wife and I thank you and don’t want to go home.

AMAZING TRULY UNBELIEVABLE. The Lido Palace is truly a 5 star hotel with breathtaking views. The entire staff were so professional and courteous starting with reception. Daniel, from the start made us feel so welcome (tips for dinner restaurant and tours all excellent) Diego in the main Restaurant fabulous attitude and our maid Lorena who takes care of the whole 2nd floor was a delight to chat with as I constantly needed to change or forgot something while she was cleaning our room always laughing and smiling. One of the most euphoric places in the world.

We have just returned from a 5 night stay - and can honestly say this was one of , if not the best hotel we have stayed in for some time. Our room was huge , modern, immaculately clean - and with free soft drinks in the mini- bar - unheard of nowadays. I don’t remember EVER having such a good nights sleep whilst away from home, the bed was huge and so comfortable. The staff were super friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast included was buffet style continental and was superb- hot breakfast was ordered from the table. The grounds are immaculate and the location was right on the lake and only a few minutes from the town - where there are numerous great restaurants bars and shops A definite return is on the cards !

Everything was fantastic! Excellent staff, superb food (breakfast, lunch, dinner, Year End dinner), very refined interiors, suites on the 4th floor are gorgeous, beautiful spa and swimming pool, best location in Riva del Garda, etc...

Outstanding location and warm welcoming! We had some drinks in the panoramic terrace, my personal favorite was the “Little Italy”, thank you Stefano and Diego for such a caring service! It really feels like home every time we come back!

The hotel in no way deserves the 5*. How did this hotel get the "Leading Hotels of the World" seal of approval? It lacks very much. The room service is poor, breakfast in the room better leave, as well as food in the room, breakfast buffet not really recommendable, spa and its treatments questionable (very peculiar staff), communicated prices are not adhered to and corrected only after consultation, the rooms need renovations here and there, in the room there are tree bugs, atmosphere is cold and impersonal. Conclusion: Never again!

My family and I recently spent two weeks at Lido Palace and loved every second of it. The hotel is beautiful, with the beautiful restaurant, bar, spa, garden and lovely rooms. The rooms were kept spotless during our stay by the lovely housekeeping team and fresh linens, towels and drinks were provided daily for us. The beds in the rooms are extremely comfy and the views are beautiful. The breakfast was always wonderful and a lovely start to the day, with a beautiful spread of fresh fruits, yoghurt, honey-comb and a selection of fresh pastries every day, as well as a selection of hot food that was made to order by the lovely chefs and always tasted amazing. The staff were always so lovely and attentive, they were always smiling and welcomed us every morning. By the end, they memorised our breakfast orders and knew what we all liked. We would also like to thank Diego and the Bali Bar team. We visited the bar at least once a day and were always met with smiles and friendly faces. The staff are very attentive and always kept our drinks topped us and brought us little snacks throughout the day. They also made an effort to get to know us and we knew all of them by the end of the holiday and I was sad to say goodbye when it was time to leave. The drinks are also delicious, I highly recommend the Piña Colada! We also attended Diego's Negroni Cocktail masterclass where we learned about the history of the Negroni and lots of recipes for different types of Negroni. We even got the opportunity to make one ourselves and have Diego judge it.(He was definitely trying to be nice when he said they tasted good haha). The spa in Lido Palace is beautiful and the treatments are so relaxing, you definitely feel a difference after them. The staff in the spa, are again, super friendly, welcoming and attentive. Overall I cannot fault Lido Palace. The hotel is stunning and the team that work there just perfect it, they made the holiday one of our most memorable experiences and I am already making plans to return!

Stunning views, wonderful food at the restaurant, make sure to keep room for desserts. Top chefs, special mention to Stefano Rossi and the pastry chef (sorry didnt get his name). Good, at times utterly excellent, wine pairing. Beautiful view from the restaurant (watch out for the mosquitoes). The bar is great too with Diego running the show and great knowledge on mojitos from Stefano. Good choice of cocktails. All staff are lovely. The only criticism is that restaurant service can get chaotic/ slow when they are very busy. Excellent breakfast buffet. Next door to the lake, easy walk to the Bastione funicular which has a great view.
