If you are looking for quiet, this is not the hotel. It didn’t bother us at all, tiki bar is right by the rooms, music stops early enough.

The view from our room was amazing. The kitchen was nice and the full size fridge was appreciated. Its an older hotel so it doesn't have some of the bells and whistles but it was clean and comfortable. Location and view definitely made our visit unforgettable

We loved staying at Riptide. We had a little hiccup our first night when we reached but they were not only able to give us a refund for the room but also moved us to the room that we booked. I do encourage everyone to please make sure you arrange a check in and have a room number available if you are planning on arriving after 6p as the office is closed and its difficult to get a hold of someone. There is only security there and they dont know room assignment. It is at a fabulous location. On the beach and with boardwalk and plenty to do. We loved it and will be staying again if we are in Fort Lauderdale again.

This motel is in a great location and has a tiki bar that faces the ocean. Those are the high points. The room was average at best, large enough with a small kitchenette. The bathroom was tiny, and clean but not spotless. The door to the room had a large crack at the bottom where it did not tightly shut even when the door was locked. There were several windows, two of which faced the ocean, but they opened onto the narrow walkway (which is called a balcony) so we did not really leave the curtains open as our neighbors were walking by regularly. If you reserve a balcony room, just be aware that it is not a private balcony. The tiki bar has only wine, wine based mixed drinks, and beer, but the service and the food were good. We stayed here for one night before a cruise and were scheduled to spend the night there after the cruise, but I canceled the second night and stayed elsewhere. Although it wasn’t terrible, I wouldn’t choose this property again.

Excellent location on the BroadWalk. The rooms are nice and roomy ~ we had an ocean front room and the view was absolutely stunning. The sheets were a bit thin and pilling and the door was incredibly hard to open and close (the bolt was sticky and we had to get maintenance to use some W-D40 to unstick it.

Old and tired

We reserved a room (rm25) for one night, but unfortunately, we had to check out early. The mattress was quite old, and uncomfortable, lacking support; this seems like an easily addressed issue, and it suggests a lack of investment in the property's upkeep. The rest of the property is also dated and in need of modernization. The absence of an elevator, coupled with the lack of assistance in carrying our luggage up two flights of narrow stairs, was inconvenient. The property is very expensive considering its condition, though I suppose the location is its main advantage. I also requested that the $15.00 resort fee be waived upon checkout, but it was charged to my card; I hope for a refund. I'm unclear what services the resort fee covers, other than seemingly generating additional revenue. Not a great start to our holiday.
