The Tides is a wonderfully renovated beachfront inn where no detail is overlooked. The decor is perfect. Service is impeccable, and the staff is FRIENDLY! Beach tenders set up lounge chairs out front, and provide towels, bottled water, and deliver lunch from the restaurant. The food is delicious, simple, and fresh, although cocktails are a bit overpriced. The rooms are... More

We've just returned from a three-day stay at Tides Beach Club, and I'm spoiled forever -- I'll never find another property as wonderful. The Inn itself is absolutely beautiful, from the huge porch overlooking the beach, to the extra-lovely sitting area and dining room. We stayed in an Ocean Front king suite with private balcony overlooking Goose Rocks beach. The... More

This place is simply amazing and simple. We got a beach front suite with a porch. It was perfect. Small, intimate hotel that offer 5 star service. Restaurant was great. Only thing I have to complain about is that they do not provide room service. It would have been perfect if they did. I would have loved to have breakfast... More

Wow, Wow, Wow, that's all I can say. We won a trip here last year and stayed for a weekend in early June. It was truly a 5 Star experience. Location can't be beat. Staff was AMAZING. So friendly and accommodating. The Inn itself is absolutely gorgeous. True seaside decor and vibe. As a true New England boy growing up... More

The renovated Tides Beach Club has a very comfortable, warm feel to it. The rooms are tastefully decorated in an understated way, and the restaurant and grand parlor are most welcoming. You have to see the framed photographs of dogs hanging out car windows, taken by a local photographer. They will make you smile! In fact, everything about this place... More

We loved this place and its location, the main areas (reception, bar, restaurant) are beautifully decorated but I think the rooms let it down a little bit. They are quite small and the decoration is not as nice as in the restaurant and bar. I will definitely recommend dinner at the sister property, Hidden Pond! It was incredible. We will... More

Dear Gepmo, Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your recent visit to The Tides. We are pleased you found our hotel (and our sister property Hidden Pond) so accomodating. The building underwent a complete overhaul during the winter to open by Memorial Day Weekend, and it was quite an accomplishment. The building has been in... More

My husband I and decided to spend about 10 days driving up the New England coast. We made about 6 stops and I would say the TBC was my favorite. When we arrived, we were told we were the only guests for the night (they were closing up for the season less than a week from our stay). Nonetheless, they... More

Dear lboog7011, We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us! And are equally delighted you were able to visit our sister property Earth at Hidden Pond. The beach is a wonderful amenity, and to enjoy it after Labor Day is a treat! We look forward to seeing you next season! Best, Jen Wine Director More

My husband and I spent 3 nights in early October (love October in Maine) at the TBC. Our room was spacious, comfortable and most importantly, super clean! There was a slight problem the first night with the water heater, but the staff was very accommodating and the problem was fixed quickly. Already talking about planning a visit next summer with...

I have stayed at this Inn with the previous owners for over 11 years, so I was anxious to see the upgrades. I thought I would be a little biased as I had a wonderful relationship with the previous owners. The New Tides Beach Club is a wonderful upgrade, a perfect blend of the old and the new. The staff...

Dear Nasilva7, It is so refreshing to read this review! I'd be lying if I didn't admit that we too were anxious in recieving loyal guests of this beautiful property.
