Tides Inn have very friendly & accommodating staff. They all are were very cordial & willing to help. We took the sunset cruise & had a fabulous & knowledgeable Captain. The cheese platter had only a few utensils & no napkins. The few crackers were stale & the rest of platter presentation looked like the cheese was thrown on the plate.It seems they are low of staff in the dining areas for we had to wait a long time for our food. The pool bar was exceptionally understaffed so much so that we had to cancel the appetizer order to make another appointment. The 2nd day, I had to go to the front desk twice to have our room cleaned. We found our patio door had been left open all day while we were gone.We had secured it before leaving. The door left open was abominable for anyone could have come into our room. We found they made the bed and then left the rest of the room uncleaned. I told the main desk and returned 2 hours later to find it still was not cleaned. I was told by the House Manager that housekeeping had gone home for the day which was a very very poor response to such BAD service. Eventually, the room was cleaned by the House Manager & available staff while we waited outside at 9:00pm. He did make an adjustment of $150.00 to our bill which was a "nice" gesture. However, for the price of the room, I would have expected better service. The environment is noisy for there are many families with children of all ages running about. Sadly a poor review for only a 3day stay!

Staff was amazing.
Absolutely amazing. Staff was so nice. We were there for our anniversary. They brought champagne and strawberries to our room. Food and drinks were amazing. Pool & beach were nice too. Being able to come to the property via boat is pretty cool. It’s a little pricey, but you kind of expect that for the type of accommodations and the area.

You do have a golf cart available in the front of the hotel. You really should have someone drive people to & from the parking lots. A few times coming in to the hotel at night there is insufficient lighting and no-one ever to ride you back from the parking lots.

Great view, but don't arrive hungry.
The Tides Inn enjoys a beautiful location with scenic grounds and a lovely view of the creek. The property is tired but is undergoing some renovations. Our room was dated and the shower leaked terribly but it was clean with nice amenities. We ordered room service for breakfast and dinner and the food was a major disappointment. Our breakfast order arrived quickly but the tray was missing mugs and cream for the coffee, as requested. The orange juice was also missing and the food was not prepared in accordance with our request. I ordered oatmeal, plain, with no sugar or toppings. It arrived covered in brown sugar that had turned into syrup. But the dinner order was the worst. It was barely edible. I ordered pasted with pesto and shrimp. There was not one shrimp in the dish and the pesto sauce was extremely thick and heavy and looked like the Grinch vomited on a plate. There was more sauce than pasta and it tasted awful. It was disgraceful. We were also there at the hotel to attend funeral service in the Cove Room. The function room is so dated and should not be in service. In addition to being dark, dingy, and tired, the light bulbs (that worked) were blinking, the weather stripping on the door was gone and freezing cold air was coming in, and the banquet chairs were all stained. It was very sad. I will commend the staff though for being rapidly responsive when things were brought to their attention.

The view and the boardwalk are beautiful. Our room was very nice, with the Carter’s Creek view and the balcony. We will love to come back! The food was excellent in the main restaurant. Superb staff at the Inn, like Alysa, Dawn, and James Eaton. For improving: Fish Hawk kitchen and service capacities, really insufficient and understaffed. After 70 minutes waiting, we had to leave without lunch. Poor management of the situation in the restaurant. Although, James helped to manage the situation and helped us to get something to eat, before our Cove Cruise. That is also a must: the Cove Cruise. Mike is a great guide. The Tides Inn is a spectacular place for relaxing, enjoy the view, and celebrate a special occasion. We will definitely recommend it!
