The Tides exceeded our expectations! Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Room was spacious, clean and well-designed. Loved the balcony overlooking the ocean! Beach was very family-friendly, and love that the hotel provides chairs and towels. They really have tried to think of everything, and it made our trip so fun!

We enjoyed our stay at tides, the room was good, the view amazing.Only disappointment was the coffee. Our room didn’t have any choices, it appeared to push us only to the coffee shop on premises, which only served Starbucks.

We did Oceanfront and our view was excellent. We were right by the pier so we had some great photo ops. You couldn't take your own alcohol to pools or on the beach but yiu can buy from the bars there, and we didn't like that. The in house coffee shop was great, and the hotel supplied beach towels and chairs.
