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

Dear Sabathecat, We enjoyed reading your post about your visit to The Tides. Thank you! We are very proud of our inaugural season! The efforts of our staff and managers (not to mention the crew responsible for the renovations over the winter) were apparent all season long. We look forward to your future visits!

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.

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...

Booked the Tides through Jetsetter. It's a wonderful inn. They upgraded our room to an oceanfront. Waking up each morning looking at Goose Rocks beach and the ocean was divine. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and the continental breakfast was great. An added plus is that guest have use of the sister property, Hidden... More

Tides Beach Inn is in a lovely location across the street from Goose Rocks Beach, a sandy beach with few people on it as only permit holders or owners can use it. The Inn has "beach tenders" that set up umbrellas and chasises to your liking and have bottles of water and can set up delivery of food from the... More

Dear Zutaor, Thank you for writing about your stay with us at Tides, we value the feedback we get and use it to better our services and amenities! Goose Rocks Beach is in fact very picturesesque, but it is indeed a public beach. It does require a parking permit, but anyone can purchase those through the town. We offer Beach... More
