Tidelands Caribbean Hotel & Suites

We took my daughter for her first vacation ever. They upgraded us to a beach view room on the boardwalk due to the side room having an issue. The staff was kind and helpful. No it’s not a perfect hotel but for the location, price, and amenities, it saved us money. The parking was close enough to walk to many of the spots we wanted to see. The kitchen was small but saved us money on eating out for every meal. The rooms were basic but comfortable. The view was fantastic. It is in a central location and not super loud at night. They had a small staff which did their best to help accommodate needs for more towels. Our balcony door had issues opening which they didn’t get to fixing during our stay. Overall it was a decent and affordable place to stay. Safe too.

Another wonderful week at Tidelands for us! We can’t wait to be back next year!

I’ve seen a lot of negative reviews and I am hoping this review will help some people decide if this is the place for them.

If you are looking for the finest of everything do not book here. You will likely be disappointed. But if you are looking for a spacious, clean, and conveniently located place to stay this is it. This year there were some flaws in our room but nothing that negatively impacted our stay. There was a lamp without a light bulb… no big deal… I’m sure if we asked they would have brought us one. There was some cosmetic things with the bathroom sink but it functioned just fine and there were no safety risks. There were some blemishes on the floor from wear and tear but they were clean and again no safety risks.

This is an older hotel at the beach. You will not find perfection here. You will however find a comfortable and safe place to spend your time when you need to relax. The pools were clean and we saw someone cleaning the pool on the second floor daily. All the staff we encountered were great! We were checked on almost daily to see if we needed anything. When we requested towels after we had already said we didn’t need anything housekeeping kindly provided them with no issues. Front desk service was great as well. The pool bar staff were great and the food was amazing!

So if you are low key down to earth like we are you will be more than satisfied with the accommodations.

We stayed on the 5th floor 7/6-7/10 our room was very spacious and clean! The only thing about the room is the mini fridge was rusty and sharp on the bottom and if you plan on cooking bring your own pots and pans other than that the room was great. The service was amazing and the workers were extremely friendly and helpful. The pool deck needs to be fixed as it had a lot of holes in it but the pool is a good size for small children. The partial ocean view was still very pretty! Also the elevator inspection expired in February and the button to go down has to be hit a certain way I would highly recommend replacing the inspection license.
