I had a mixed experience at Monterey Tides. On one hand, the ocean views are absolutely breathtaking, and the beach access is unbeatable. On the other hand, my initial room experience was disappointing due to noise and cleanliness issues. The staff tried to help, but overall, it didn't quite meet my expectations for a romantic getaway.

My first room was noisy with issues like a broken air conditioning unit and cleanliness problems. However, the ocean view room was a much better experience, allowing me to enjoy the sound of waves instead of traffic.

My stay at this hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand, the location is right on the beach, which offers stunning ocean views, making it really special. However, I faced some issues with the room's cleanliness and the service could definitely be improved. The amenities were lacking, and the parking price felt excessive for what was offered. Overall, it's a lovely spot but more attention to detail is needed for a better experience.

While the hotel boasts a stunning ocean view and is conveniently located next to a beautiful private beach, my overall experience was marred by several issues. The rooms left much to be desired in terms of cleanliness and upkeep, and my stay was further punctuated by a lack of adequate service. Although it has potential, I wouldn't recommend this hotel unless you find an irresistible deal.

I had a lovely stay at this resort with breathtaking views of the beach. The room was spacious and clean, although it could use some updates. The dining experience was quite enjoyable, though the pet fees were pretty steep. Overall, it's a nice place for a beach vacation, but some enhancements could really elevate the experience.

Rooms

The room was large and clean but in need of refurbishment. The unique privacy shade allowed us to enjoy the ocean view without being seen from outside, which was a huge plus. However, I could hear neighbors a bit too easily at times.

My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing overall. The location offered a beautiful view, but the room was incredibly dark and felt very cramped. The service left much to be desired, as staff were often dismissive of our concerns. On the plus side, the dining experience was better than expected, which was a little refreshing amidst the negatives. However, given the price, I wouldn't say it was worth it.
