Tides Folly Beach

Great location and service but old hotel kind of run down. You are paying for the beach access more than anything

Enjoyed our stay, think more elevators are needed… staff friendly

They had the beach Closed and didn’t notify anyone of the closing. They were well aware. Bulldozers running all night long along with mile Long Beach closed. Still have not received a call from anyone at the hotel. Along with huge cockroaches but it has no place for pictures on review

Lon the beach

Fantastic long Labor Day weekend at The Tides @ Folly Beach. The staff couldn’t be more attentive and friendly. We played in the ocean and swam in the pool. We got lunch at the pool and ate dinner at Blu. Great time- the Tides is a great place to stay! We took an Uber and went to Marion Square for the Saturday market. We have stayed with them 3-4 times and the service and accommodation's are very consistent.

This was our first trip to the area. We had a great stay, a few hiccups but Staff jumped on them quickly. Room was great, pool was nice and staff was friendly. We parked the car on Friday and walked everywhere. Very convenient to all the restaurants and stores.

I was hesitant about our long Labor Day stay at Tides Folly Beach based on reviews I had read, but ended up being pleased overall with a great mini-vacation. Here are some of my thoughts: Price: You are paying for the location, hands down. However, compared to some really really nice resorts I have stayed at, this place IS reasonably priced for oceanfront, with a beach and private pool, Tiki Bar, and restaurant. Rooms: Like others have said in reviews, these rooms are pretty basic and that is ok. We were rarely in the room but loved the view and the newly renovated shower was probably the best water pressure/temp we have ever had in a hotel shower. I will agree that the floors were a pain in the neck because despite our best efforts, we brought a lot of sand in. I really wish they would just provide a broom/dust pan in every room to help with that--the daily room clean wouldn't be able to keep up with it. There was some oxidization on some of the metal pieces in the room, but the humidity was insane while we were there so I get why it happens. It did not bother us at all. Besides the great shower, the AC in the room was AMAZING!! We had some close to 90 degree days and the room stayed cold and comfortable. The TV had a variety of channels and the little refrigerator stayed cold. (It was a pain to go through a cabinet to get it, but no biggy over all.) But the rooms were clean. (The balcony IS a Juliette balcony so you won't be sitting out there, but its still nice to have) Pool/Beach Area: The pool is small but there always seemed to be a place to sit when we wanted. It was warm but comfortable. We spent most of our time on the beach, but one day when it was really windy on the beach, the pool worked comfortably. It is an old pool and the bottom is a bit stained but it seemed clean and was never cloudy. The beach area is wonderful but be prepared to pay $45 each day for two chairs and an umbrella, if needed. We planned that in our budget and 4 of our five days we paid that. The first day I mistakenly got the wooden chairs, which proved to be a problem since you couldn't move around to get some sun if wanted. After the first day, we got the moveable chairs and that was much better. Even though it was a holiday weekend and the beach WAS busy, it wasn't too rowdy or crazy. The ocean was perfect--lots of waves but easy to walk the beach and to play in the surf. Elevators: A lot of people complained about the elevators in previous reviews and even while we were there one broke down once or twice. But there was always a repair man there quickly and only one time did we have to wait what I would consider a long time--maybe 5 minutes? During that time, hotel personnel brought us water and/or a frozen popsicle which was a nice gesture. Parking: Never had any issues with parking as you are guaranteed a spot. Hotel Personnel: Everyone was really friendly. We arrived really late our first night so we never received

Such a wonderful experience at Tides! It was comfortable, clean, and in a fantastic location. The staff was so helpful and accommodating and just genuinely kind. The food at the Tiki Bar & Blu was delicious, and I loved my morning ritual of grabbing a coffee and taking a beach walk. I couldnt be happier with my stay, I am looking forward to my next trip here!!

This was an amazing experience an great get away from everyday life,,we will be going back very soon
