Our room is fronting the ocean where you can feel the breeze just sitting outside your room. The desk staff is not accommodating, not helpful and not friendly at all. They should be the 1st as frontliner to make your stay comfy anf fun. I dont know if this lady Annavelle owns the place or a relative of the owner. The waitress at the bar is more serviceable as well as the cleaning crew. Both teams are hardworking.

Authentic spacious beachfront property. Older, but well kept with an excellent location right on the boardwalk/beach. Tiki bar was very fun. Love the live music!!!

The property is right on the beach. No need for a rental car. They have entertainment 7 days a week which ends at 9pm. This was my second trip two years in a row at the Riptide. It’s a wonderful mom and teenage daughter spring getaway. The staff is great and the location is amazing. We will go back again.

This place was so neat. It is right on the boardwalk and beach, above/around this tiki bar. The staff were super nice. While the room was smaller it had everything we needed. The tiki bar closes promptly at 9pm so it was very quiet, whichballowed us to enjoy the ocean. I would stay here again.

Great spot! Walking distance to so many restaurants and bars. And literally right on the beach. The only downside was that the tiki bar kitchen was closed. They said it was being renovated. But that was OK because there were so many other options in walking distance.

This small hotel is located directly on the Hollywood Boardwalk and directly across from the Hollywood Beach. Th area is very much family oriented. The hotel has a Bar and food service located on the street level. There is live music almost every afternoon and night. Our room was on the second floor and the noise from the bar was no problem. There were several maintenance items that the staff took care of immediately.

Had to call police on guests staying in room 3. We were woke up with screaming from a female coming out of the room. Serious fight. We were up all night as we did not feel safe. No one in the office to contact and no one in the office when we decided to leave in the morning. Terrible experience. I want a response from the property.

I wanted to stay close to the ocean, so the location worked out very well. The staff worked to help me overcome the detail I forgot when I was booking a hotel--that I preferred an elevator. Dragging suitcases up to the second floor would have been a grind, but fortunately the desk staff took care of it for me. A huge shout out of appreciation there!! I enjoyed getting to see much of the Broadwalk. There was bicycle rental place relatively nearby. That was nice, an easy way to take more of the area in. When we were there, a scheduled event was going on that attracted a rather large turnout. I liked the fact that the party-goers were not unruly, and that it wound up around 9:00 p.m., as we had a very early departure the following morning. I was pleased to be able to have a cocktail and supper while litstening to the live music. We really liked our room. It was spacious, clean, and had a view of the ocean. If you're checklist includes similar things, you'll be happy here.
