It was not busy at all when we got there, in fact, we were the only ones there! Service was great. Everyone was nice. Beer selection wasn’t fantastic, but that is not what we were there for.

Very fun, casual beach bar near the Ritz-Carlton. Great spot for drinks and people-watching. You may need to assert yourself at the bar to get noticed, but generally staff are very friendly and can offer recommendations if needed. My go-to is their frozen pina colada with rum floater.

Great spot right on the beach between two huge pools at the back of the Lido Beach Resort. Very active bar scene under the tiki roof - quite fun. Super friendly and helpful staff. Definitely on the pricey side, but the venue makes up for the cost. Umbrellas could have been a little larger for more shade, but overall great spot. Delicious piña coladas and a decent mix of draft and canned beers and seltzers. We ended up with a couple burgers on GF buns and a pound of peel and eat shrimp. Definitely ask for extra horseradish if you like it spicy. Full pound only came with one or two small lemon wedges and could have used some more. Random lettuce tomato and cucumber underneath was unexpected. Overall tasty but would come back for the venue over the food.

This is a fantastic place with a fantastic view. The waitstaff at the Tiki bar is second to none. Want to give a shout out to Tarig who waited on us today. Great bartender as are all who serve there. We did not have food this visit, but in the past, the food is great too. AND, what a view of the water!
