We stayed at the Riptide for just one night, prior to driving down to Key Largo last November. This place was a very pleasant surprise. The location is fantastic, the rooms are huge, and the staff was very friendly! I wish that we could have stayed longer. As a matter of fact, we might plan another trip to Florida, and... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. It's a laid back, no frills kind of place but it had everything we needed. The room had a fully equipped mini kitchen which was brilliant as you can get tired of eating out when on the road. There was a table and chairs inside and veranda furniture outside where you could sip your... More

We stayed here 2 nights post-cruise so we could get at least a little beach time before leaving Florida. This is a small mom & pop "old Florida" type hotel, not modern and luxurious, but clean, affordable and you can't beat the location. Our room was spacious enough and had a little kitchenette with full-size fridge- very convenient. My husband... More

My wife and I first stayed at the Riptide Hotel in June 2012. We returned for two days on March 14th, 2013 prior to a cruise. Since our stay in June 2012 the Riptide has opened a kitchen which serves the Tiki Bar. We only experienced the Nachos and the chips and salsa, however these were very good and we... More

My partner and I spent 4 nights at the Riptide in March; we are return guests after having been in 2012. This year, we wound up in an ocean front unit and LOVED it! Our room had windows on three sides giving us great views of the water and the Broadwalk. The units are nice, simply furnished, and we appreciate... More

In today's modern world, WiFi is a necessity. Many people like my self, take a vacation and are still in touch with work via email. I checked in on a Wednesday and the internet was out and it was still out on Sunday when I checked out. It appears that staff has no management support, staff is left alone to... More

This is my 2nd visit to the Riptide, 1st time with the new management. The improvements were noticeable from check-in to check-out. We arrived before the 3pm check-in time and was able to get into our room early. We had stopped for some groceries before our arrival, and was pleasantly surprised when Chris helped us carry our luggage and groceries... More

The Riptide is a throwback to the era of small oceanfront motels. It offers a variety of rooms to suit most every size group or family. The rooms are clean and come with basic kitchens and bathrooms at a great price for being directly on the beach. The people watching is great.

We recently had a 6 hour overlay after getting off a cruise ship. We had no place to stay so started walking down Hollywood Boulevard to see if we could find a place to store our luggage. A wonderful manager by the name of Felicia made arrangements for us to have a room overlooking the ocean for 6 hours. It... More
