A gem amongst the flotsam and jetsam that has washed up on the shores of SouthBeach. Five minutes walk from the Delano and Mansion, the rooms are fantastic. Book directly with the hotel website - we got a King Bed with Ocean view for $260 ++. We only spent the 1 night but wished we had more time. I didnt realise that the Beach is actually a long concrete strip covered with some sand - quite odd really.

Stayed in the tides on the weekend 14th-16th July 2006 and had a great experience in this beautiful hotel.

The room was large and was tastefully decorated in beige and white. All rooms overlook the beach as far as I'm aware - the lower rooms can be noisy but you're in the center of it all in South Beach. The pool area was fantastic and the pool attendant was great.

Staff in general were very friendly and helpful.

i stayed at the Tides June 2005, and am promted to write a review because i have just read the other reviews. i think that these people must have stayed at another Tides. i disagree with those reviews completely. i had a marvellous time, the room was enormous, very clean, bathroom also enormous with lovely products.. couldnt hear any traffic noise from my room. also had great view of the beach.
housekeeping attended every day and fulfilled any request that i left them. the pool is also great, and a lovely attendant, that could not do enoough for you, think she is named pat. free apples, free water, free papers. beach loungers, unberella and towels also provided at no extra cost. i did not have a problem with the staff found them all most helpful. i would highly recommend this hotel. one more thing the beds are divine, so comfy.. all white bedsheets, and chocolates left on the turn down every night..what more could any one ask.

We stayed for four nights in Tides from the 13th May. The hotel rooms are very large and have a good standard of fit out. Do ask for rooms at the upper levels as Ocean Drive, gets very loud at weekends. I asked to be moved as soon as I saw I was been put on the second floor, which the receptionist did , slowly.

My main point is that this hotel is a lovely product but all the staff are moving at about half speed, there is little in the way of a smile and every thing you ask for happens at such a slow pace as to lead to frustrated guests. It's a great pity, but my advice is fire the General Manager as this starts and comes from the top and get some quality and standards in place asap.
