Stayed here to be near Ocean’s Calling Fesitival. Good rates and great location/room. Unfortunately Mother Nature cancelled the festival, but enjoyed being on the boardwalk and everything still going on on the boardwalk. Would stay again!!
The room was clean and the staff was very helpful at the front desk and the cleaning staff quick one second walk to the boardwalk very close to good places to eat the pool area was very clean and well taken care of the hook up bar that's at the pool the service was very good the food and the drinks were amazing the staff was awesome this is my fourth time staying at this hotel and I would definitely stay again
The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean, just out dated and the level we stayed on had a bad smell. The pool was nice and the location is really nice. Close to everything.

Great location in OC, loved hanging out on our balcony overlooking the boardwalk. The furniture and bathroom are outdated. AC didn’t work very well, the room was constantly damp. The staff was super helpful. Over a nice weekend hotel but won’t want to spend the entire week there.
Room was clean overall. Bathroom could have been cleaned better. But I cleaned it before I used. Seems to be something that gets overlooked every time I stay here. I like the location and the staff are always nice
Great location. Love the pools. I feel like cleanliness is getting lower than when I originally started staying 5 years ago. Maybe just the age of the hotel is catching up but I will stay again

I loved this place because the price was okay for what we got, which was a balcony room oceanfront. I loved the view and we kept the sliding door open a lot just to hear the ocean and feel the breeze. It was wonderful. The room is terribly out of date and the tv just awful. But I dont care about tv on vacation so much and so it wasn’t a big deal. But it was all worth it for the balcony and the view. Would stay here again.
The Staff was extremely helpful and considerate. When they found out how far we traveled (over7 hours), they worked to check us in to our room ASAP. In addition, they showed us where we could wait at the pool and bar area while waiting for check-in. This was needed bc the weather outside was windy and constant rain. We had excellent weather after that throughout the rest of our stay. Our room had the Ocean Front Balcony which we loved and definitely enjoyed! Our rooms were cleaned, with trash removal and fresh towels everyday! We will definitely keep Tidelands Caribbean in our Summer plans to return for our future getaways!
Highly recommended for a nice place to stay, great location and reasonable rates.

The first thing that rubbed me the wrong way was I didn’t get to check in to the room until 5:30pm and nothing was done to mitigate my frustration. There are only 2 things that get a thumbs up, the view from end unit balcony and no carpet on the floor( which is a lot more sanitary). Everything else needs a total upgrade. The mattress was terrible, I could feel the springs and the bathroom was outdated .
