The Tides Inn is a Chesapeake Bay resort set in the heart of Virginia's Northern Neck. You’ll feel the rich heritage at the Tides Inn the moment you arrive. There’s history in the water which laps gently against the Inn’s Duffy boats in the marina. There’s an undeniable coziness in the charm of the people around you. A quaint nostalgia in sipping a cold lemonade as you watch the afternoon sun dip into the sea. It’s palpable, and it’s a legacy that’s as beloved to us as it has been to you for decades.

From the moment we arrived to the beautiful Tides Inn, we were pampered. From the valet parking, to the ladies in reception and continuing with housekeeping, the service was top notch. The room with the balcony overlooking the water was clean and well appointed. Both restaurants have personable and knowledgeable staff and the food was delicious, especially at Salt & Meadow.

When we arrived, our bathroom had leftover hair from another guest. During our stay we had to call to have our room cleaned. The pool was not properly treated, it was cloudy and gross and the pool chairs are stained. The quality and cleanliness of the facilities and room are not commiserate with what you pay. With that said, the valet is complimentary. The the add-on activities and spa treatments were really great. The food was great, albeit expensive. The staff are all wonderful. We probably won't be going again.

We have been to The Tides Inn many times, but this time was by far the best! There were 8 of us traveling together on 3 different boats, so we had use of the marina as well as the resort amenities. My husband and I actually booked a guestroom for 2 nights, but the others stayed on their boats. From the welcome we received when docking, to the excellent food and service at Salt and Meadow, every single thing exceeded expectations! Thomas, the dining room manager, was amazing, and made our whole experience more fun! Sam, our server, who reported being fairly new, was wonderful as well. Joey, out by the pool could not have been more attentive! Constantly bringing fresh ice for our drinks, etc, without being asked. Pete was amazing behind the bar at Fish Hawk, too. And, we had told the concierge, (Nancy, I believe) had called us ahead of our stay to see if there was anything she could help with. When we told her that we thought it would be fun on our second night to order in Chinese Food and enjoy it in the Tide's Inn Library, she said she would make note of it, and had dishes, silverware and serving pieces all set up for us! All in all....couldn't have been better!

Have stayed twice now, first trip was part of a girls "moms weekend away" trip, and second was with my husband and 3 kids (all under 3), both were equally fantastic. Such a special and lovely place, very Americana in the best way. Food is delicious, service is great, and atmosphere is high end. I'm not sure there would be enough to do with kids over 5, but it is perfect for little kids. We left and immediately booked our return trip for next year.
