At one time, Florida had many little motels like this. Quaint, cozy, mom and pop joints. I remember them from my first visit to Florida - Spring Break - Daytona Beach-1970. But, it seems like they're (unfortunately) a dying breed. Many of the remaining ones have become rather shabby over the years (if they're still in operation). Here's what might... more

Well pulling up it didnt look like much but walking inside it was lovely. They have a beautiful pool area. And Ulli the manager is very nice. The room was super clean! And it stayed that way. No bugs or anything. Ulli let our daughters rent this 2 rider bicycle for $10 a hour it was great! Its only a... more

Very clean motel with friendly service. This motel is managed and serviced by the owner who does an excellent job. Good access to the beach in about 5 mins by walk. Pool area is outstanding and there are multiple areas for grilling and dining. Excellent value for money. Dont expect it to be a luxury motel because it isn't. However,... more

We selected Amber Tides because of the good reviews on tripadvisor and I must say, I was not disappointed. Amber Tides is set in a U shape around the pool in a tropical garden. The place looks like nothing from the street side but is very nice once you enter through one of the gates. Set around the pool are... more

I and my girlfriend stayed at Aber Ties for two weeks and we enjoyed every single day! We chose this hotel based on reviews and it was exactly as it was described. Ulli is a great host. He is very flexible and always there to assist. Although Amber Tides requires some renovation and refurnishing, for the price you pay, is... more

What a lot of bang for the buck. So reasonably priced and clean. Umbrellas and beach chairs are free for your use. Full kitchen. But it was the pool area that was so perfect for us. We stayed Jan 23-27, and while it was warm during the day, in the 70s, the Gulf was too cold to swim in. Having... more

My family and I have had a very great moments at this location. Ideal for family. It was very clean and quiet and the manager was very cool (thanks for all). My 2 children have had a good time in the pool. It took us 2 min by foot to get the beach. So we have had fun at this... more

we were in this hotel for three days, location is good very near from clearwater beach and famous Pierre's to watch sunshine is near, also near by restaurants and souvenir shops, good parking areas. The hotel has a nice swimming pool rounded by a nice garden with cosy corners were you can relax with friends and family, great for kids,... more

We booked Amber Tides on the strength of all the reviews below and we were not disappointed. We stayed in Clearwater on our way from Miami to New Orleans (originating in New York) so we have stayed in quite a few motels so far on the trip. Ulli's hospitality together with the cleanliness and charm of the motel made our... more
