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

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.

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. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Poor Follow Up/Communication I made four requests for a copy of my invoice via phone, email, text and website. I expected local fees (taxes, etc.), but wanted to review the charges for accuracy. I never received a response back.

I loved this hotel. It was clean and modern. Really cute touches like encouraging messages in parking spaces and the bamboo garden. Nice vibe.

Our rooms weren’t ready till after four. They had no idea which rooms were vacant and which weren’t. As well as which rooms were clean or not. We had three books room and didn’t get our last one till 4:30 when check in starts at three.

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.

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 ******* you will get charged a $25/day resort fee when you check in. However, location was convenient and the room was clean.

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.
