Grand Lido Braco - Jamaica

We traveled to the Superclubs Grand Lido Braco all-inclusive resort in Jamaica in January 2005 and it was our first (and not our last, hopefully!) introduction to the all-inclusive resort. This beautiful place included all food from various restaurants, room service, and buffets on the premises, all drinks, watersports, a gorgeous pool, a beach and many other amenities. We had a fabulous time and know that we will be going back to Grand Lido when we need another relaxing vacation.

The resort is in pristine condition and is modeled after a quaint Jamaican town. We spent a good part of our week by the main pool (and the swim-up bar!) lounging, reading, getting misted with water when it was too humid (seriously!), and sipping some Hummingbirds and Dirty Banana drinks.




We had an oceanview room that looked out onto the beach and was conveniently located right near the 24 hour bar/restaurant so we spent some late nights there with some other couples we met. We had a lovely balcony out back that became our favorite retreat before dinner every night when we would order some wine and a fruit and cheese platter to munch on (complimentary, of course!). Here are two photos taken from our balcony:

Finally, here's a photo we had taken as we hung out with a bunch of people we had met at the 24 hour bar, long after the organized resort-wide activities had ended for the evening. This truly was a perfect trip and our lack of photos shows how relaxing it really was - even too relaxing to sightsee and take out the camera!
