Tidelands Caribbean Hotel and Suites

8/10 Good
"Good with opportunities for some improvement. The room itself was nice - beds comfortable, balcony nice to sit on and relax (though it could us a small table along with the two chairs). Bathroom was acceptable - nice shower pressure but tile grout could have been cleaner and the vanity was slanted as it was detaching from the wall. Nothing awful though. The hallways were kept tidy. The stairwells definitely could use some aesthetic tlc. Front desk and housekeeping staff were cordial and helpful. Pools are nice when not hugely crowded. Drinks at The Hook Up were really well made. Overall experience was definitely enjoyable. Two big issues: one elevator in the building - but that is not easily remedied. However staff could point out convenient stairs to the rooms (if the doors are actually unlocked). And two: parking is annoying if you have to use adjacent lots. Access to beach and boardwalk were perfect for us. Overall 4 of 5 stars. Would definitely consider returning."
