Pros: *Employees epitomize hospitality.
*Caribbean spice without the in-your-face explicit sexuality of some other resorts.
Cons: *Mosquitos can be heavy during the rainy off season.
*Eventually you have to return home.
The Bottom Line: This resort is a cut above the rest in Jamaica in almost every category.

| kukid's Full Review: Grand Lido Braco |
This premium Superclubs property has a little something for everybody. Half of the resort (and most would agree it is the better half for various reasons) is au naturel and even the previously unadventurous find themselves dropping their inhibitions along with their clothing for a liberating social experience. We are far from being considered a "hard body", but we were accepted and comfortable in this non-sexualized atmosphere.
The au naturel side has the bigger, better and newer rooms, the bigger and better pool, the gigantic and wonderful hot tub, and -- alas -- the bigger rates too. But why spend $200 or so a night more at this all-inclusive resort to be on that side when you can have a perfectly fine room on the "textile" side and walk over any time you wish to use the nude facilities?
Look, the food is very good quality and abundant, the liquor is top shelf and abundant, the activities available are fun and abundant, but what truly sets Grand Lido Braco apart is its employees. From the highest positions to the lowest, each could teach a masters course in hospitality to the crews at most resorts in the states. By day two of our visit, several were greeting us by name and already knew our food and drink preferences. They weren't eager to please; they were obsessed to please.
You can find out much, much more about this and other Grand Lido resorts at the Grand Lido Visitors Hangout at http://groups.msn.com/TheGrandLidoVisitorsHangout/_homepage.msnw?pgmarket=en-us Read the trip reports and then follow the message boards for a few weeks. You'll know without a doubt if GLB is for you. It sure was for us!
