The Palm & Tide Beachfront Hotel

8/10 Good
"Location was great and close to the beach. Great balcony view. Room was a bit odd. No table or chairs. Beds very high. No shelves in shower for soap and shampoos. No towel bars. Shower doors odd. Had to reach inside shower to turn it on so you don’t want to be dressed to turn it on. No microwave which would have been nice. First hotel i have ever stayed at that didn’t have ice buckets and we have stayed at a lot of places over the years. Toilet wobbled and we worried it would fall over. It was a very nice stay and we enjoyed it but it needs some work to make it functional."

"The beach was amazing. Our view from the balcony during the sunset was spectacular. The room was huge and a full size refrigerator was perfect. The humidity and smell of the room needs improvement. Probably replacing the carpet to a healthier option will avoid the moldy smell."

Bikini Beach Resort

8/10 Good
"It was a really nice room, with a beach view & near the pool and the bar (which wasn't open much as it was off-season). The wi-fi was in & out. They offer room service on request, and I only requested once as I only stayed a few days. The maintenance lady did a great job cleaning up my room. The parking situation isn't the best; it is $15 per night to park across the street. I don't feel that Expedia was clear about this, so not the motel's fault. It's an older property, but nice. I'd say between good and excellent is how I'd rate it. I would recommend it and I'll likely return again."
