Reviews for Tides South Beach

Review 1:The pool deck is scruffy, tired and grubby. We found condom wrappers and rubbish when we went to use one of the cabanas, yuk!

Review 2:The rooms are the best in South Beach, spacious, comfortable and all have a sea view.

Review 3:The noise! I appreciate that south beach is a party area, but the noise levels were full on! There is a pumping bar next door with drag shows that are soooo loud- we may as well have been in the bar. We noticed the noise immediately and requested a quieter room however none were available. We were assured it would finish 11:30 but this was not the case. Noise insulation is terrible - our neighbours blasted the TV until 4am we could hear every word of what they were watching and couldn't sleep. I have stayed in hotels around the world - and hostels when I was younger and never have I experienced such insane noise levels. We were exhausted by the end of our stay as barely got a few hrs sleep and sadly not due to partying. Massive construction site out the back too, so our swim was like being in the building site. 24 hr a day intense noise! It was really full on. We need a holiday to recover from our holiday.

Review 4:The staff were friendly and helpful, decor lovely (although carpet in halls quite tired), room was huge, free drink on arrival, lovely terrace out the front to watch the world go by. Fantastic location and great views of beach.

Review 5:Restaurant food was poor and the service was not good and very slow -even when very quiet! The staff looked like they had no pride in their product, there was litter around & dirty tables! Very disappointing food.

Review 6:Location, view and room layout. The bar and barstaff were good.

Review 7:Charging $2 to use the room's coffee maker seems a tad stingy!

Review 8:Great location and super staff. Awesome room, free wifi. Valet parking worked well. Loved the bath, big enough to lie down in.

Review 9:Food is pricey and just ok but lots of places to eat along the strip

Review 10:Rooms were as described clean nice details. Had an 8th floor room which gave excellent views.

Review 11:Some areas of the hotel need renovation

Review 12:Many thanks to great people who work at the reception - knowledgeable and very friendly! Location is perfect for the 1 st time Miami visitors, rooms are soundproof, great view!

Review 13:Like the funky design of the place and the large bathroom, but would have liked a blind to be able to be closed so that one cold shower without being seen in the room.

Review 14:friendly staff in reception and the bar, helpful advice and going the extra mile to print out our boarding passes for us. Large rooms and bathrooms and view of the sea.

Review 15:Nothing. Everything was perfect

Review 16:The staff at this hotel were the best overall. They were really helpful in keeping us on the tabs on what to do in south miami beach. Giving us the best deals in car rentals and restaurants to check out.

Review 17:We received no directions about how the beach facilities worked nor did we get directions for the shortest way to our section of the beach. This information would have made our first visit to the beach more enjoyable.

Review 18:The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The view of the ocean from our window was spectacular! The short walk to the beach was an added treat.

Review 19:The crib wasn't the crib. It was a baby playpen. So... our son couldn't sleep in this "crib". Actually the playpen had warnings on the side "not for sleep". Baby slept with us.

Review 20:Beautiful room; big and deep bathtub. Place. They have free beach chairs and umbrellas, and it is really good, because regular price is $20 chair/day.

Review 21:Tranny bar next door is great fun but loud until 1130. But this is Ocean Drive.

Review 22:Great luxury hotel, massive rooms, lovely bathrooms, great view of beach.

Review 23:location, spacious rooms, comfortable bed, nice staff.. although miami beach is busy place and very vibrant, however, once inside the hotel, it is very calm and comfy.

Review 24:The strip isn't all that it was in 1990 - the last time I lodged at The Tides. It was a different time - we were doing different things. The Tides, however, has maintained an air of superiority second to none - service and accommodations. 'Scatter my ashes at Bergdorf'? Well, save a little for The Tides South Beach!

Review 25:The noise from the bar next door.

Review 26:Location near the beach. The convenience of the beach chairs and towel and lots of restaurants to choose from in the area.

Review 27:The only concern was the cleanliness of the bath.

Review 28:We liked the location, friendly helpful staff, lovely restaurant on site, free cocktail on arrival and large beautiful room overlooking the beach.

Review 29:Location is fantastic . Little noisy and a bit bonkers in the evening, but that is what South beach is all about . Great experience . Carlos was extremely helpful

Review 30:No towels by pool... Ally next to pool smells of filth. Limited staff. I would say pay a few bucks more and stay at a nicer place where the staff gives a hoot about it's customers.

Review 31:Great location for those looking to go out. Comfortable beds. Close to beach.

Review 32:The noise of the gay bar right next door is awful and it goes on all afternoon and night. I booked a room with sea view but the noise of the bar downgraded the room.

Review 33:Right at the beach, very nice room, good food

Review 34:If you go to this hotel you will be subjected to a lot of noise! It is impossible to get a good night rest because of the loud bar next door. Interior of the room is quite tired and not very clean. Really a 3 star hotel, and far too expensive.

Review 35:A beautiful view of the ocean.

Review 36:I have stayed at the Tides many times before, however this time I booked via an agency. The special details requested were not received by the hotel which caused issues. This was resolved but impacted the stay. Had to wait a while for service on many occasions as I feel the staff has changed dramatically in the past 12 months....not for the better.

Review 37:The reception staff are great. Location superb, quality of hotel and furnishings are superb....

Review 38:The location of the hotel next to a bar made it very difficult to rest in the evening with the constant sound of loud disco music in our room. When we notified the staff, they were polite, but couldn't offer any assistance. A recommendation would be to install sound proof windows, but city policies restrict any modifications to the art deco exterior. Sadly too much noise is the main reason we won't be coming back.

Review 39:The location on ocean drive allowed us easy access to the beach and restaurants in Miami Beach. Additionally, the cleaning crew did a fantastic job even though my wife and I were a little messier than usual.

Review 40:No tv channels in bedroom

Review 41:Very clean, huge Room, great Shower, huge closet, great view, staff at front Desk, cleaning staff, staff that stored my luggage, bar staff, restaurant staff , superior food, perfect location and nice clients. Will return

Review 42:Wow what a beach opposite with the hotels own sun beds and umbrellas free of charge. This hotel is situated in one of the best locations, no need for a car. It's amongst bars and restaurant on ocean drive. Two blocks behind is espanola way a pretty street with tapas restaurants, fish & seafood. Avalon a fish restaurant worth a visit. The Tides staff were very friendly. A quiet hotel. Our room was next to the lift, but we were not disturbed by any noise. Neither did we hear any noise from outside the hotel. Very large & clean standard rooms. The bed was huge and very comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel and look forward to going back. Thank you The Tides for a fantastic holiday,

Review 43:The front desk has given us some wrong information about the car we rented, and the agent we were dealing with. There is no coffee maker, or tea maker, and you have to pay for your morning coffee! that was a shock to be frank, and its not cheap at all! you better get a starbucks for your coffee!

Review 44:EVERYTHING

Review 45:- general feeling that the hotel was a little old and in need a refreshing - restuarant and bars were dead, hardly any customers - bad smell througout the communal areas of the hotel

Review 46:- great location on the beach - room was nice, large and clean

Review 47:Some of the reception staff had limited knowledge and confidence. The street noise (loud adjacent bar) was a problem at night until about 12.30am

Review 48:The room was large and comfortable with good facilities. The hotel's position within South Beach was very good with quality shops, bars and restaurants all within an easy walk. The journey to the airport was also relatively quick and straightforward.

Review 49:Decor in room left a lot to be desired. It was dated, thrown together and worn. Room felt cold and unwelcoming and lacked some amenities like water glasses. While location was good (ocean view, high floor), the room seemed not worth the price. A good, complementary breakfast offering would have softened the disappointment.

Review 50:Softer, warmer, color coordinated, updated room decor to replace hard, tile floor, worn area rug and junk art. Complementary breakfast included in price

Review 51:Bad staff. The price is very expensive for what the hotel gives. The manager was very rude answering my questions. The location is beside lots of very busy bars and restaurants, very noise because of the parties. The toilet at the room have no door. We have no privacy at all. As a 5 star hotel, it should have at least a few things better to make the guest happy. But it was a shame at all. Do not recommend.

Review 52:Beatifull lobby, good bed.

Review 53:Service was poor, as if no one worked there. Took forever to get a drink at the bar, and even worse was the breakfast service. Also, noisy strip - like Constant Spring break activity going way too late.

Review 54:Clean comfortable room. Nice pool and proximity to the beach.

Review 55:This hotel has seen its day. It looks like they haven't spent a penny since opening. The room is quite large (I had an ocean view studio) but clearly there is no priority on maintenance. The light bulbs were out. The walls water stained. The desk stained. The windows too thi the block the street noise (and my room was almost at the top). When I wanted to check in early they refused to look simply saying no. When it was time to leave they called 11 minutes after check out time to threaten to charge me $50. I was just closing my bags and left 6 minutes later. You could pay me to go back! Oh and there is no guide to hotel services (something every hotel and even motel has) and when I informed them (I was trying to find their pool) they said "oh that's a great idea I will have to tell management"). You couldn't pay me to go back.

Review 56:The bellhop. After that it was all down hill.

Review 57:A bit noisy in the evenings due to the bar beside the hotel, ask for a room higher up.

Review 105:A little loud from some of the bars by nearby hotels but normally the noise subsided after 11:30pm

Review 106:I like everything, the whole ambiance The Restaurant outside the main lobby door plus the excellent music from the 1-man band.

Review 107:The service was totally insufficient for a hotel of that category. The breakfast was precooked and burnt. There was not real security, and nobody welcoming at the entrance. No help with the luggage. Room windows are very dirty. Not a 5 star hotel in my definition

Review 108:Ocean Drive and the location

Review 109:At times got a bit noisy outside the hotel, but live music was very much appreciated during dinner time.

Review 110:Beautiful hotel, staff couldn't do enough for me throughout the stay, sorting everything from travel, laundry and restaurant advice. Beautiful hotel, room was immaculate and restaurant served a nice range of food. I won't think twice before staying here again.

Review 111:Paying 35 Dollars a day for " Valet Parking " which entailed the car being parked at the front of the hotel about 5 yards from where I left it.

Review 112:Fabulous room, which we got upgraded to without asking and no extra charge. Spectacular view from the Ocean facing 8th floor view.

Review 113:The clear lack of management and "vision". Poor attention todetail which is a shame. It is very noisy.

Review 114:The overall style and the building itself. The reception/porteringstaff and the French waiter and waitress.

Review 115:the value for money is bad, the hotel is a bit old for what it offers. the rooms are very large but the breakfast is not included and expensive parking. we have had a problem with the bed (the mattress was old and creaked with areas endorsed.). we have not solved the problem right away, the first night we slept very badly. we were charged for the room ($ 350) but they gave us the garage all week. The pool is very small and the gym small but nice. THE evening there is a bit of noise for a room below but are up to 23.30. The whole 5 days we paid $ 2,400 without breakfast.

Review 116:the location is great, the art deco design and the view overlooking the sea. lots of privacy because there are few rooms The staff is friendly

Review 117:Excellent choice for my stay in Miami. I took a higher floor after reading some of the reviews at booking. com about noice from bars around. But you really don't have to worry, as it all stops well before midnight. Very large rooms with great ocean view and a nice decoration, highly recomend it to all...

Review 118:Great location and views. Very nice lobby. Shabby chic and nostalgic; the feel of Deco South Beach.....not for hotel snobs, though. My X-wife would not approve but my girlfriend loved it!! We'll be back.

Review 119:No balconies and the windows could not be opened for free air. There isno tea making facility in the rooms and no night service for tea, etc.

Review 120:Night staff was extremely helpful (forget his name) and the location isamazing. Love to go back

Review 121:Restaurant staff was non-existent. Had to wait very considerable time. Very, very disappointing.

Review 122:Size of room but could not adjust ac when it got too cold

Review 123:loud trance music from properties both sides from noon until 10:30pm Sat and Sun, pool location in back on alley

Review 124:Room decor, bedding, mattresses, food, front seating, view of beach

Review 125:The TV was not working, the internet was not working the first day and when I complained,he blamed my laptop until he realized the overall problem. Also, expensive drinks with a service staff who do not care much and very loud neighbors partying yet the hotel did nothing.

Review 126:The location and the view of the beach

Review 127:Only few rooms have terraces.

Review 128:Location is awesome, pleasant personnel, very comfortable service of rent-a-car with vallet parking from central entrance. If you plan to come somewhere outside Miami Beach just ask reception - you won't need to look for service provider yourself.

Review 129:The pool is on the wrong side of the hotel and no service! There are hotels for much better value! And DO not eat in the restaurant! It's very quite and there is a reason for that- its shocking!

Review 130:The hotel is not actually on the beach, but about 500 meters from the beach! There is no service on the beach either which was shock! But the beach is great and the staff make an effort to give you ice and so on

Review 131:Some staff in restaurant could be a little friendlier (not everyone!)

Review 132:Excellent location right on ocean drive , big room with a beautiful beach view, very clean, staff at reception desk was very friendly and helpful, nice animation every night f.e. Saxophone music.
