Tides Folly Beach, Charleston's Oceanfront Hotel

Tides Folly Beach, Charleston's Oceanfront Hotel

8/10 Good
"I really liked the location and free parking, especially how close resort was to dining and music venues. The beach view included scenic sunrises highlighting the pier and Atlantic ocean. The pool was refreshing and clean. I didn't like the noisy room AC and narrow balcony without seating. Only 1 of 2 elevators were working, and both were not available for a short time one evening. The beach was muddy at low tide and the Atlantic ocean was silty and not clear during our entire stay."

10/10 Excellent
"This is a special place for a quiet retreat from the city. All our hostesses made our stay here lovely. The roof top deck was my favorite spot every morning and evening to relax and watch the dolphins. Breakfast gets a 10 so don’t miss that!! Want a little beach time? Just ask for a quick golf cart ride or grab a bike. Wine and charcuterie at happy hour is also a plus. You do need to be able to climb stairs so keep that in mind😉 You will sleep well on one of the most comfortable mattresses ever. Book it!"
