I’ve been going to The Tides Inn on and off for over 50 years! We started when I was a young kid. The resort continues to be an incredibly enjoyable experience. The improvements that ownership has made over the past ~20 years are wonderful. The grounds have never looked better, and the Oyster habit is quite a sight to see. The new boardwalk is a great place for a stroll with your morning coffee or evening cocktail. The restaurant is excellent, the bar is beautiful and welcoming, the outdoor spaces are inviting and comfortable and the staff is top notch. If you feel like splurging a bit, request Room 151. It’s spectacular!!

This is a beautiful property with wonderful views and a very welcoming staff. The pros of The TIdes Inn include great beds, sheets, and pillows. The creek cruise was wonderful and the captain was very knowledgeable. The cons include a less than stellar restaurant (check out the local restaurants which we found much better) and rooms that are in need of a renovation. Our room had a mildew smell, broken screen doors, and gaps in the door that you could literally see through. The inn is quite expensive for what you get. We frequently weekend in the many fantastic inns and hotels in Virginia and we were excited about our first time at The TIdes. Unfortunately it will be our last.

Staff were friendly and very helpful. The rooms are clean and lots of complimentary goodies (wine, soda, water, snacks, coffee, etc) and the grounds are well kept. We enjoyed the swimming pool, kayak, biking, and our walk to the forest trails and shoreline. They also have provided us with a list of places to go out of town...

Great and quiet place for a getaway. Awesome place! The salt and meadow dinner service was slow, but the breakfast was perfect. The Fish Hawk was wonderful, but they need more attendants, maybe it was early in the season…%@#$&*()’kjhutffrrdst

A remarkable place. The setting and grounds in this great part of Virginia are simply amazing with the views of Carter Creek and the Rappahannock. The rooms are wonderfully decorated and maintained. The restaurants are very enjoyable. The activities offered are educational and fun. Perhaps most impressive though is the welcoming and attentive staff - there is none better.

This is a wonderful gem with a great staff and accommodating for families and dogs. We went fishing, harvested and replanted oysters, enjoyed pottery and the Easter kids activities. They do a great job of running a boutique hotel with a family feel. Looking forward to another return visit

The Tides Inn is truly a hidden gem. It’s a small pieces of paradise carved out of the lower Chesapeake bay. It offers something for everyone. You feel relaxed the moment you arrive. The service and staff are some of the best around. The restaurants and food are wonderful.
