Riptide Patio Motel & Tiki Bar, Hollywood

Best view of the beach, Veronica and Monica were great. Everyone staying at the hotel was there to have fun and relax! John( acoustic guitar guy) very cool. I'll be back.

Daily housekeeping was pretty skimpy. Expect to see a roach or two...The Tiki Bar was fun, but prepare for the locals to show up. Some alittle on the trashy side. Sizeable crowds gather when the band is playing so expect some noise. The staff ( girls working the bar) were great. The owner is like a watch dog is somewhat annoying monitoring your every move(gives the impression they have trouble on the premises at times). Good beach access/spot.

This was our second trip to the Riptide and loved every minute again. We rented 2 rooms with 2 adults and 2 adult children, and what a great getaway. Our rooms were in the new part and had full kitchens and oceanfront views. So relaxing and all amenities were provided. Great location for beach access (right across the boardwalk), biking, relaxing, and watching beautiful sunrises every morning. The beach has water that is turquoise blue with white crystal sand. Boardwalk is great for biking, walking with restaurants and small shops. Nice location up from the main action, so it is more relaxing. Great place for the money and exceptional location for a low key vacation. Nothing fancy but all the simple amenities are provided. Staff are very friendly and helpful too. We will be back again...

We really enjoyed our stay here. Scott and staff (including bartenders) were very friendly and helpful. Tiki Bar is awesome. We had an oceanfront room with a great view. Biked every morning (with Riptide free bikes) and swam every afternoon. Happy Hour at Tiki Bar followed by dinner at some excellent Broadwalk restaurants. All in all a great getaway--and only 15 minutes from Ft. Lauderdale Airport. John and Mary D.

We returned to the Riptide expecting the nice little getaway by the ocean, what we got was the owner, Scott, constantly surveying his property and reminding people that he had beer for sale in the tiki bar making beer not allowed in the rooms. He also noticed rooms that had more people than allowed but neglected to convey that policy to the non-spanish speaking guests. In the nutshell hispanics aren't welcomed there. And I hope that Scott soon realizes that there are 60 other hotels to stay in along the broadwalk.

We stayed in the newly acquired rooms next door. They were clean, comfortable and well maintained with a great view of the ocean and the boardwalk. We loved the Tiki Bar and music. Scott and all the staff were customer first. We love the Boardwalk and will stay at the Riptide the next time we visit.

THEY ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Browsing I happened on this place. What a great find and value. We closed the Tiki bar and had a great night's sleep. Right on the beach and easy to find. The wife and I were very pleased and would definitely return. Nothing fancy here, just a great laid back time w/ a wonderful staff.

All of the folks are wonderful!! The hotel is in a great location. We would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a fun time in Hollywood.

At least once in your lifetime you must have a stay at the Riptide. Upon arrival it was abundantly clear that Scott takes his vested interest in the Riptide very seriously by his display of professionalism and sincere desire for his guests to enjoy their stay. When you see Veronica's bright smile you instantly realize her desire to make certain you are happy and content in your surroundings is genuine. If you enjoy (i) spectacular sunsets with your coffee (ii) a fabulous day at the beach with a chair, towel, and book at your fingertips for the taking, (iii) a bike ride, run or stroll on the broadway, (iv) live entertainment and huge laughs with your new found friends, (v) a spontaneous family style meal in the courtyard, or (vi) to sit in peace on your own, then the Riptide is for you. If you typically enjoy a 5 start resort you may arrive bejeweled but you will instantly find to relax and truly let go is your time better well spent. So grab your partner, friends or just yourself and make a plan. Thanks again to Scott, Veronica and what I consider to be my new friends for a fabulous vacation. Ready to plan the next trip!
