Lido Max In Porto cesareo

Super Lido.. Very helpful and very nice guys.. we had a really good week.

Well-equipped beach and very friendly staff

+++ La plage est superbe, très belle et plutôt propre. Le restaurant est très bon et les prix sont corrects. --- Nous avons loué un appartement à Lido Max et nous avons été extrêmement déçus. Nous étions avec notre bébé de 7 mois. Premièrement, si vous comptez sur leur lit de voyage proposé, attendez-vous à ce que l'épaisseur du matelas pour bébé soit d'environ 3cm. Nous avons réclamé et avons fini par obtenir un semblant de mousse pour épaissir un minimum son matelas. De plus, il y avait un problème de store dans le studio, ce qui empêchait d'être dans l'obscurité. La lumière du jour rentrait totalement à l'intérieur, ce qui était vraiment embêtant. A notre arrivée, aucune solution n'a été proposée, à part venir nous scotcher des bouts de feuille sur les fenêtres, mais la lumière rentrait tout de même. Après avoir réclamé de nouveau, ils sont venus scotcher des cartons avec des scotchs tellement fins qu'au bout de ... 1h, tous les cartons étaient tombés. Bref, une catastrophe. Avec tous ces désagréments, 0 geste n'a été fait, 0 rabais accordé, même pas un expresso n'a été offert malgré tous les jours des repas payés dans leur restaurant. Le gérant n'est absolument pas commercial et rien que par sa faute, je n'aimerais pas y retourner. Je ne parle pas du manque d'isolation total... et avec le chien du gérant qui aboie à chaque fois que quelqu'un passe devant son appartement, les siestes étaient superbes. 1400eur pour 1 semaine, c'est aberrant. Dommage.

Truly a great experience! Book an umbrella in advance especially in August! Price first/second row €45, from the third €40 in August, parking all day €5. For lunch they have everything, from pizzas, to pucce, to salads and first and second courses. There are vegan and vegetarian options (spelt and cereal salad). The prices for the dishes are more than reasonable, and the portions are huge. The self-service plates are all compostable, very convenient to then throw them away after lunch with food residues, but the cutlery is not, and this could create confusion, it could be more convenient to provide everything compostable. Given the current commitment of the lido, I have only one suggestion, perhaps put a small sign on the various bins in the bar explaining what should be thrown into that particular bin (obviously in relation to what is sold in the lido). For the rest everything perfect! We will be back!

Very nice, clean beach with very friendly staff. Almost nothing is missing. However, I suggest making fruit available to customers not only at the self-service but also throughout the day, especially in the morning because times and needs change and a beach like this cannot fail to take this into account. Thank you 🥰

The Max lido is certainly one of the largest on the beach of Torre Lapillo, which is why I was surprised to see the umbrellas stuck together with practically no living space. Behind ours one had been occupied where they had even placed a third sunbed (normally two with an umbrella are included) which had actually been positioned horizontally to the beach because they couldn't do otherwise, creating a sort of impassable barrier, in short, yes he walked in a narrow slalom between sunbeds and umbrellas, which was very annoying, given that the prices are not low at all (40 euros a day and therefore spacing out the umbrellas a little is possible, they already earn a lot of money). The parking is really a sour note, it has never happened that you can't find a place even though you have booked and paid for an umbrella (well paid, I repeat) if the lido has its own parking lot. Since the one at the Max lido is not enough for all the umbrellas (it will be less than a quarter of the capacity, less, certainly) it's like "a li mejo places" as they say in Rome and the parking attendants are very rude, in fact I would say downright strenuous.. .... The beach bar and the diner are very well stocked and the boys and girls at the bar are kind and certainly very patient; the space where you can sit to eat or relax with a cold drink or a coffee is large and well shaded. The bathrooms are spotless as is the changing room. The showers are a real problem, as I imagine there is a tank on the roof of the structure, the water in the showers (which would also be perfectly positioned) is terrible, boiling, and when I say boiling I really mean skin-deep, especially with the temperatures of this very hot summer we are experiencing. I highly recommend you go and take a shower at the beach next door, you still have to pay 50 cents, go to the bar and they will change your coins for tokens. The water in their showers is very fresh, wonderful. The sea of ​​Torre Lapillo, like all seas, goes with the currents, in theory here it should be the most beautiful in Salento, at least in my opinion, as I have been returning there for years and I have visited Salento and its beaches all over, Ionian and Adriatic. Torre Lapillo is too superior to everyone. For its sand, clear and thin, which compacts on the shore and allows long and beautiful walks, and consequently for the color of its water, all the variations from light blue to green, here especially light blue, very light blue. This year unfortunately algae are king and it really isn't a nice sight, there are beaches that are more penalized than others, this is one of those that has certainly been more penalized. To see the Salento water you must enter at least twenty meters into the water.

Il lido Max è sicuramente uno dei più grandi sulla spiaggia di Torre Lapillo, proprio per questo mi ha sorpreso vedere gli ombrelloni appiccicati l'uno all'altro senza praticamente spazio vitale. Dietro il nostro ne era stato occupato uno dove avevano addirittura messo un terzo lettino (normalmente ne sono inclusi due con l'ombrellone) che era addirittura stato posizionato in orizzontale alla spiaggia perchè diversamente non potevano fare, creando una specie di barriera invalicabile, insomma si camminava a slalom stretto fra lettini e ombrelloni, cosa molto fastidiosa, visto che i prezzi non sono per nulla bassi (40 euro al giorno e quindi distanziare un po' gli ombrelloni si può fare, ne guadagnano già tanti di soldi). Il parcheggio è veramente una nota stonata, mai capitato che non si trovi posto nonostante ombrellone prenotato e pagato (pagato bene ripeto eh) se il lido ha il suo parcheggio. Poichè quello del lido Max non è sufficiente per tutti gli ombrelloni (sarà meno di un quarto della capienza, meno, sicuramente) si fa tipo "a li mejo posti" come dicono a Roma ed i parcheggiatori sono maleducatissimi, anzi direi propio str...... Il bar del lido e la tavola calda sono molto ben forniti ed i ragazzi e le ragazze del bar sono gentili e sicuramente anche tanto pazienti; lo spazio dove sedersi per mangiare o rilassarsi bevendo una cosa fresca o un caffè è ampio e ben ombreggiato. I bagni sono pulitissimi come anche lo spogliatoio. Le docce sono un vero guaio, poichè immagino ci sia un serbatoio sul tetto della struttura, l'acqua delle docce (che pure sarebbero posizionate in maniera perfetta) è terribile, bollente, e quando dico bollente intendo proprio da pelare a vivo, specialmente con le temperature di questa estate caldissima che stiamo vivendo. Vi consiglio vivamente di andare a fare la doccia al lido accanto, tanto sempre 50 centesimi dovete pagare, andate al Bar e vi cambiano le monete con i gettoni. Lacqua delle loro docce è freschissima, meravigliosa. Il mare di Torre Lapillo come tutti i mari va con le correnti, in teoria qui dovrebbe essere il più bello del Salento, almeno a mio avviso, che ci torno da anni e che il Salento e le sue spiagge le ho girate tute, ioniche ed adriatiche. Torre Lapillo è troppo superiore a tutti. Per la sua sabbia, chiara e sottile, che si compatta sul bagnasciuga e consente lunghe e belle passeggiate, e di conseguenza per il colore della sua acqua, tutte le variazioni dal celeste al verde, qui soprattutto celeste, celestissimo. Quest'anno purtroppo le alghe la fanno da padrone e davvero non è un bel vedere, ci sono lidi più penalizzati di altri, questo è uno di quelli che sicuramente lo è stato di più. Per vedere l'acqua salentina si deve entrare almeno una ventina di metri in acqua.

very nice welcoming beach with covered and guarded parking space...self service of dishes for lunch time...I highly recommend it

I think 35 euros for an umbrella is excessive.

Stunning sea, clean beach, friendly, polite and always smiling staff. The self-service food was excellent and the pizza was a 10/10. Very good. I'm not one for reviews, but I feel like praising and thanking those who made my week of holidays special.
