We have stayed at the Tides on two occasions and believe that much about the facility is fantastic. The dive shop is good, the divemasters and mates take care of all the needs that visitors have. They also have a tendency to get lazy and take divers to the same dive stops repeatedly, often to the dives closest to the... more

We stayed at the Tides for four days in March, 2008. I have both praise and criticism of the resort. Here goes... Praise: The Tides Beach Resort is located just 0.6 kms north of the center of San Pedro, making it far enough away from the town to offer guests quiet at night, but near enough to make restaurants and... more

Staying at the Tides is literally staying with the Patojo family. all 8 of them. This is a family operation, and home . If you want to totally immerse yourself in Island life this is the place to stay...... Pat and Sabrina own the place Sagreb and Butch do a lot of running it. The Dive shop is very experienced.... more

Ideal for families, located 5 minutes from the town centre on the beach. The rooms were a good size and clean, as was the pool. The hotel is run by a family and you are treated as such - warm and friendly welcome, excellent drink measures and a relaxing and comfortable vibe throughout! Any question or request for help was... more

Stayed 1st week of July with family (sisters & b-i-l's). Owners and staff were extremely nice, and place was very casual and laid back - breakfast was set menu (eggs, pancakes or french toast, fruit, coffee/tea, juice) but they would accomidate special food request. Pool and beach bar very cozy - Butch (bar tender) knows everyone. Walk into town was... more

Overall excellent experience at the Tides. Owners and staff are very helpful, good hotel and dive packages available, and very good dive shop (Patojos) at the hotel. I would recommend. more

My husband and I stayed at The Tides for 8 days in February, along with 4 other family members. Four of us had stayed here on previous trips to San Pedro, and enjoy the location of the The Tides: close to 2 markets, and an easy walk to Cholos and downtown. The rooms are simple but adequate; on the few... more

I vacationed at this resort in 2006, staying there during first week of June, and returning the last week of August. On both trips, I found the hotel/dive package to be a really great value. The Hotel is very basic in terms of furnishings, but my room had clean bath rooms with plenty of HOT WATER. The A/C unit seem... more

We have stayed at The Tides on several occasions enjoying a first-name basis relationship with the staff and owners. In fact, I previously wrote a "rave" review for The Tides on TripAdvisor. During check out during our last stay, Sabrina (an owner) indicated the food/bar charges for the previous day had not been turned in. Trusting them explicitly I casually... more
