I booked the Amber Tides after seeing it online somewhere. To be honest, I had not read any reviews for it until after I got back home. At the time I was looking for somewhere that didn't cost a lot of money and was close to the beach and where I was planning to scuba dive. I'm one of those... more

We stayed for 4 nights over the Labor Day weekend, which was also our 27th wedding anniversary and my 50th birthday weekend so we had a lot to celebrate. This motel was just as perfect as others have described it. Small and personal, quiet, surrounded by tropical foliage and extremely clean. Our room had a full kitchen and was perfect... more

We stayed 3 nights at Amber Tides November 2009, this was a part of a "Florida tour" with the family. During this trip we stayed at several different hotels in the same prize category (and more), but this was the best one. Main reasons are Ulli (The german owner/always present caretaker) who welcomed us into this perfect relaxed environment and... more

It has been the third time that I spend my holidays in Clearwater at the Amber Tides Motel, it is just perfect! more

I had never been to Florida and booked the Amber Tides solely on Trip Advisor reviews. This is BY FAR the best place I could have ever imagined to stay five minutes from the beach at $85 a night!!! It may sound impossible but you are completely sucluded yet right on the road!!! I met nothing but wonderful people at... more

We booked a week vacation at the Amber Tides Motel due to location and some very strong reviews. We were hoping and expecting something unique....we got that and a whole lot more. Ulli has done a remarkable job in landscaping the courtyard. As the pictures elude to you can barely tell you near a road. Coffee by the pool in... more

We were in the area for just a few days and wanted a place that was convenient to nearby towns-- Dunedin, Tarpon Springs-- and also on the beautiful beaches for which Clearwater is known. Amber Tides is an easy 5 minute walk to the beach. Ulli makes beach umbrellas and chairs available to guests at no cost, the motel has... more

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
