Incredibly spacious in our king studio with a full kitchen and full sized fridge. My wife and I loved being able to take a walk to Chad’s for brunch and later on a walk just across the street to walk to the beach and pier. The staff was very communicative the whole time via text with me and very flexible with my late check in also. Cleanliness inside of our room and in the common areas as well. My wife and I cannot wait to go back again and stay at this hotel, will definitely be our go to hotel from now on! ##### Edgardo Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Stephen Jun 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Facilities were fine. Trying to get a hold of anybody was absolutely ridiculous. Had an issue with the room it took well over 15 minutes to get hold of the manager on the phone. Get a text if you need something, asked for more towels, never came ##### Stephen Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Cynthia Jul 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our room was great. Lots of construction going on that took away from the tranquility. We cooked 2 meals in the kitchen no problem.Happy hour and contont ##### Cynthia Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### RayE Feb 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication #### Beautiful hotel. But some very small rooms There was some mix up at check in and the room we paid for was not available. Also we needed a dog room which apparently even though I stated it in the notes was not reservable In the end we got a very tiny room with a sub par access path and wasn’t able to really enjoy any of the real beauty of the hotel, except for in lobby Hotel tried to make it right. But it was still very disappointing. The location of the hotel is fantastic. The inside and outside of the hotel is very beautiful. You do need to be careful not to get placed in one of the tiny rooms. ##### RayE Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kristal Apr 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Communication Overall it was fine. Check in is absolutely at 3, theres not even a person available before then. Communication could have been better. Despite receiving text messages asking if we needed anything and saying to respond via text, i never heard back. Parking lot doesn’t have enough space for all the guests. Oh and if you book thru expedia you will get charged a $25/day resort fee when you check in. However, location was convenient and the room was clean. ##### Kristal Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mike Apr 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### You might have to wait to check in... I enjoyed my stay at the Tide Pool Villas. The first of two things of mild concern: the check in process was challenging due to the fact the front desk person had so many responsibilities. We waited at least 10 minutes to check in since no one was at the desk when we arrived. There was a group in front and behind us waiting as well. I would suggest the hotel have two people on duty during prime check-in time (4-7?) so there doesn't end up being frustrated patrons. My second "concern' is I was hoping for a little more variety for breakfast. Plan on an all-carb "snack" if you intend to partake in breakfast. It's still probably better than heading to a packed nearby restaurant, but worth being aware of. The facilities in general were great including the pool and hot tub! The surrounding neighborhood was surprisingly quiet. ##### Mike Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jennifer May 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The property itself was clean and decent; the staff we encountered were pleasant. I booked for (3) people in the room, so I would expect an additional set of linens for the fold out bed. Couldn’t reach anyone over the phone, so my husband had to walk over and get sheets himself. Location is very close to the beach, so parking can be a challenge. Perhaps this was also due to it being a holiday weekend. The reason for the 3-star review is because we were charged an extra amount for the room upon check-in. I received a text message the morning of our arrival date advising us of an additional charge (which was lower than the extra charge I actually paid on site) since we booked our room on a third party website (i.e. Expedia/Orbitz). I already paid the price advertised and shouldn’t be charged extra on the back-end. Feels like a bait and switch. Please modify your SOPs, as this is very misleading to potential consumers. ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jennifer Jul 15, 2024 Disliked: Communication It was so close to the beach we could walk to the beach, shopping, and dining. That was great. What I didn't like was that there was never anyone at the desk. No one was there to check us in or check us out. And there didn't seem to be a phone number we could call for help - I always got voicemail. They said to text but the response was not until the next day or 12 hours later. But if you don't need anything it is a nice place and we all felt safe ##### Jennifer Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeannie Mar 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Great location nice room with kitchenette ##### Jeannie Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Leah Jun 23, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities This is a 5 star location but a 2 star property. ##### Leah Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Karen Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Quick trip Check in process is very slow and our room was not ready Beautiful property and great location ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Sep 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Such a great area and beautiful property ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Bryce Oct 12, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Super disjointed staff. They gave our room away and then we had to wait over two hours to get checked in. Window in the room was broken, the bed frame had pieces sticking out of it. The bed itself was horribly uncomfortable. I asked the staff if there was anything they could do to compensate for the wait and they said no but they wish they could. Pretty bad experience especially since it was unbelievably expensive. ##### Bryce Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Rebecca May 25, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Avoid this hotel! They have one front desk for 4 hotels. They put us in a different hotel and room than we reserved. It was dirty, smelly and the furniture looked like it was bought at a yard sale.

So an extra $180.00 for a room with clogged shower and bathroom sink drains ##### Ronald Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### roberta Jan 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Nice Stay Actually were giving a room at Villa Rosa across the street and under same management.
