Lido is a beach club, and one that is a favorite for expats and locals living here. (green chairs, green umbrellas ;) ). Great food, awesome service, the music is chill and not too loud blaring electronic like some other places. Drinks are good priced, it is my understanding that by consuming you are allowed to enjoy the beach chairs and umbrellas all day. ;)
