Tahitian Resort, Holiday

The room was so disgusting I felt it was safer NOT to take a shower! I could see sunlight through the worn holes in the drapes. Burn holes in the bedspread.Mattresses were ancient.There was no breakfast. Remote did not work. Places outside were flooded after a down pour and water came into our bathroom. Great price at $42.00

I did explain that their desk person had been asked very clearly what is the full price with tax. But when then they change that suddenly I find it find disillusioning to encounter dishonesty for the sake of cheating people out of their money.

This is the WORST motel I have ever stayed in! It is in a terrible state of disrepair. The first thing we noted was that the dumpster had not been emptied recently and the garbage was overflowing. Next we saw that the room curtains in most every window were torn. The paint was was so worn you could see through it on the doors. When we opened our room door, the room stank. There were dead roaches on the floor and the tub was rusting through. There were cigarette burns in the bedding. The TV remote control did not work, the soda machines did not work, the supports to the balcony had unpainted boards shoring them up, the pool area was completely overgrown. The place looked nothing like the Tahtian Resort photos on the motels website, which listed 140 well maintained rooms. It is a dive. There were maybe 12 rooms booked, but the traffic in the parking lot was very interesting, and the people even more so. We watched one woman take a license plate off a car with a table knife. Cars traveled round and round the parking lot and the activities looked very suspicious. There was absolutely no security on the grounds. I had brought my family to the Tahitian. My children were so frightened that after 90 minutes we checked out and went to another motel. I would suggest you avoid this dump, there are plenty of little motels with better rates and better rooms.

This place is disgusting. Nothing more than a run down joint that needs to be closed. It is everything that is wrong with foriegn ownership. Do not go

I last stayed at the Tahitian in 2005 when it was owned from a "Smiley Jack" that had recently purchased the property from Best Western. The rooms were clean, the pool was well-kept, and the pool bar was lively, with local music every night. I reccomended the hotel to many people, since it was a pretty good deal for about $50 a night. I just returned from Holliday and another stay at the Tahitian. IT WAS AWFUL. We were charged outrageous fees for having 4 adults in the room, plus a fee for the "use of the (inoperable) safe" located in the room. We had to fight with the front desk in order to receive 1 towel per adult. We were also assigned reomte controls for the televisions in the rooms, of course, it would have been nice if te remotes were not helt together with electrical tape and actually worked. The new owners are rude, and (apparently) unconcerned with the experiences of their guests. The rooms were dirty (I agree with a recent reviewer that didn't want to remove their shoes). The lamps would not stay turned on because they were all pluged into an outlet located between the matress and headboard, so anytime you moved, the lights flickered or turned off completely. When we moved the mattress to attempt to fix the problem, we disturbed a very happy and large family of black bugs (my father later wound up with a large bite on his elbow). We actually went and bought pillows and blankets and did not sleep in the sheets. The bathroom fixtures were rusted and mildewly, and the temperature of the water was not consistent. We had to listen to construction noise from other rooms in the hotel late into the night (nothing like trying to sleep through a nail gun and the loud 1980s country music they were listening too). The rooms do have a refridgerator and microwave, which I suppose was nice. The best thing remaining about the property is the location. Fortunately for prospective guests, there are other comparably priced hotels in the area - I would pick any of them over the Tahitian at this point. We will not be returning there.

I booked my husband for this motel for 2 nights for a funeral. He is not fussy but he checked in and checked out 5 minutes later. A lot of the rooms had no numbers on them He was given Room 255 and when he entered there was an awful smell. The pillowcaseswere stained,there was rust in the sink, he could see the exterior pipes from a hole in the tub area, the walls were unpainted. We travel at least once or twice a year and he said he has never seen a place so rundown. This place should not be recommended to anyone.

This hotel was awful. The staff at the front desk were very rude and the place was discusting. If you are looking for a party hotel or drugs this is the place. My 7 yr old son opened the night stand and found drug wrappers, swisher sweets, ashes, opened bottle water, and thats what you call clean? We were scared to even take our shoes off. Not to mention, the drawers were hanging off the hinges, and it smelled. We got our money back, and stayed else where. The only thing good about this hotel was its location.

Dislike? Not a thing. Oh, it's probably been a long time since the furnishings and all were updated, but everything was clean and whatever didn't work right at first was fixed fast. And the price was absolutely great. The breakfast - free and absolutely fantastic. Manager's wife cooked two of the days we were there. Fantastic cook. And very personable. The son of one of the desk clerks worked the other two days we were there. What he lacked in cooking - which wasn't much - he made up for in personality. They should charge a fee for the entertainment. The staff - from the manager on down, everyone was friendly and willing to help, even going out of their way. It was great.

If you are by the pool and close your eyes and then open them again you will feel like you are in the tropics. The staff is friendly and the rooms are clean. The hotel is in a part of Florida that retains some "Old Florida" feel. Explore the surrounding areas! What a bargain!

The Tahitian Resort in Holiday, Fla. was great !! The room was clean, the rates are very reasonable considering the great free breakfast you get every morning. I would come back again !!
