Great atmosphere, pleasant employees and excellent service
Refreshingly expensive, so it's one of the more chill places along the strip. So if you'd like to have a nice cocktail, without the crowds, singers, and loud music, this is a good option. Cocktails are around $15 so might explain why it's one of the places you can actually get a seat and people watch.
Amazing service, great location, large rooms!
Lovely decor, extremely friendly staff and the best location in South Beach.
What won me over was the staff. Top notch team. Would definitely return.
My husband and I stayed at the Tides for our 5 year anniversary and we had a very pleasant stay. The price did not break the bank and service was great. The location is in the heart of south beach so virtually everywhere we wanted to go was in walking distance. All the rooms have an ocean view and ours did not disappoint. They even offer you a welcome cocktail and a generous 25% discount on their food & beverages. I would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Miami.
We loved staying at The Tides. After reading many reviews we knew what to expect, the pros and the cons. The pros include historic and beautiful Art Deco architecture (just the actual building "Bones" and some of the lobby furniture; the rest of the interior design is contemporary by a famous designer, and the bedrooms have been completely remodeled into all ocean front suites), elegant atmosphere, location in the heart of action packed South Beach, and gorgeous ocean and beach views. The sophisticated decor is consistent throughout the building - entry, lobby, and bedrooms. Our bedroom on the 8th floor was huge (we got an upgrade via Tablet Plus). Everything was super clean, comfortable, and beautiful. Included was a coupon for a couple of free cocktails, which you can redeem anytime during your stay. You can have them in either the lovely lobby bar/restaurant or the chic terrace, which is prime for people watching. We also had a breakfast credit. The setting is super nice, and the food was good, but not great. Service was just average - not spectacular or horrible. The biggest downside is the noise at night of the partying in the street and the super loud club next door. We did know this in advance, but it was even louder than anticipated. That said, it actually was not a problem for us. We had brought ear plugs, but we surprisingly ended up not having to use them. I think it was because we were so tired at days end, and the beds are so incredibly comfortable that we would just melt into them. The complimentary beach service (lounge chairs, towels, and umbrella that a beach butler sets up for you) is nice. I never even saw the pool, which was in the back. We were only staying a couple of nights and everything out front is what was interesting. How could one turn their back on the mesmerizing blues of the ocean?!? I would definitely stay at this hotel again, especially if I got a good rate like we did. We wouldn't stay for more than 2-3 nights, because the loud & bustling scene isn't really our thing, but every once in awhile it's a fun change of pace.
Amazing view in a historic hotel. Staff is bilingual and very professional. Parking is a bit chaotic if you don't call ahead and have someone waiting to valet your car away from the busy street.
The hotel was beautiful and right across from the beach! The staff was very polite and courteous. Would recommend.
Stunning decor. Tasteful, affordable and right on the beach. Great barman, friendly and polite. The restrooms are also incredible.
Great location and staff is extremely friendly! I love the layout of the hotel which allows for an ocean view from every room! The lobby is beautiful and the private rooftop deck offers amazing views. It's the tallest building on south beach so the views are unobstructed! Though they are working on expanding the hotel but I was not aware until I looked for the construction. There was no noise to be heard. Can't wait to see it when it's done!
We were so happy to stay here. It's a beautiful art deco building right across the road from the beach Close to shopping districts, the staff super helpful - and accommodating. And the 'Palace' which is a gay club a few doors up (now I personally don't swing that way) but the drag shows were hilarious! They almost create a street party such a good vibe and music and really adds to the experience of staying at this particular location. Awesome :)
