Not worth it.

The room was dirty when we arrived. Hair in the shower, blood on a chair and sand everywhere. Small bathroom/shower. I called about the chair and never got a response. Caked again and someone was supposed to be sent up. No one came. I'll never stay here again. Only good thing was the view but they couldn't mess that part up.

Right on the beach

Pros: It was right on the beach and the elevators went straight to the beach, hardly had to walk.
Location: It is only a few minutes away from Pier Park and about 7 miles from Pineapple Willy's.
Other than staying on the 30th floor, this was an awesome hotel. The parking deck is a little frustrating and the carts do not even fit through the door of the room we stayed in, so we just carried our things. Parked on the 4th floor of the parking deck, had to go back to the second floor to walk-over to the actual hotel to get a cart, then had to take it back to the parking deck and get back on 4th floor. Was frustrating, but my experience with everything else outweighed that. The hotel is right on the beach, which was very convenient. Room was very clean. Had vending machines throughout the hotel, bar & grill, a little store in the hotel and complimentary movies. We had two beach chairs that came with our room, but overheard another customer say their room didn't come with one. Has two pool areas outside and a pool indoors. I would recommend this hotel. It is only a few minutes away from Pier Park and about 7 miles from Pineapple Willy's.

Tidewater beach resort review

It was a very nice place. My family and I enjoyed our lovely room and the lovely beach. Although I will say, I wish the outside pools were heated. The water in both outside pools were too cold to swim in. That's about the only negative thing I have to say.

Non-existent staff

Pros: room was excellent
Cons: There was no staff, just a single security guard who obviously was not trained in customer service
Location: This was a prime location close to Pier Park. Great Beaches.
We arrived at 7PM and were greeted by a sole security guard that was bored and uninterested. He gruffly pointed outside and told us to register there because no one was at the desk. After looking around outside, we found a "register after hours" box with a phone in it. We picked up the phone and waited and waited. Finally we gave up and went inside to talk with the security guard. He called a number and handed us the phone. It took a while, but we finally got the info we needed to find our room and enter it. We were told we must register in person at the desk by 10:00 in the morning. We went down to begin our day at 9AM. No one was at the desk. We found a different security guard and asked and he told us they usually show up at the registration desk between 10 and 11. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. It was spacious and beds were comfortable. We had a great view. The only complaint about the room was that the TVs were very old, small and had poor picture quality. This felt like a place that was in decline - sort of like a management company had provided a low bid and could not afford to staff the hotel.

Need a few changes.

Need door pass card instead of giving number to key in. Left pack with number by accident in room. Hard to take packet everywhere you go when you are in the water. TVs did not work. Slow elevator in the mornings. Did not receive welcome supplies packet as told in written packet.

Pros: up to date-two pools outside- plus two hot tubs outside. also had pools inside.
Cons: maybe the elevators -but there were a lot of people there.
Location: pier park, fishing pier
it was great . we were on the 25th floor. straight down was the walkway. I saw people hanging items over the side, that if they had fallen over, it could have hurt or killed guest. they badly need a cover of some type to protect the walkway. a drunk throwing a beer can over from 30 stories or less could be a real disaster . over all I thought security was good and helpful. I really enjoyed the fact that the building was smoke free. only one nut was smoking in the parking deck right in front of a large no smoking sign. location close to pier park was a plus.

first tidewater visit

Great experience! Very clean and pleasant property. Excellent staff and security. Stayed in #2016. Great view. Would definitely stay at this resort again. Didn't really enjoy standing n line about an hour trying to get front row beach chairs. Actually ended up buying own just to get close to water.
