My wife and I have stayed at The Tides eight or ten times over the past couple years and this unit has the hands down best view of them all. Unlike most other units, it doesn't share a balcony with someone on the left or right, so you get the fulll 180 degree panorama view, plus you are on the TOP FLOOR..
Some have mentioned limited kitchen items, etc., but we had everything needed to cook full meals during our stay. Going in I was concerned about only having tabletop oven, but we baked potatoes and broiled steaks and lamb chops and it all worked great. It's a good sized toaster oven -- big enough to bake or whatever. No problem
I think we will be back again soon. Vivian is a gracious host, and Marcelo is really helpful at getting you prepared for what can be a confusing checkin process at the resort, especially if you happen to be a first timer at The Tides
