Riptide Oceanfront Hotel
Our hotel boasts 21 gorgeous oceanfront rooms to choose from and features a lively tiki bar and restaurant where guests can spend an afternoon lounging while enjoying a selection of delicious food, cocktails, beers and wines. The Riptide Hotel is conveniently located a few steps away from the ocean and directly on Hollywood Beach's Broadwalk, a one-of-a-kind oceanfront promenade that stretches nearly 2.5 miles along the ocean.

Our two buildings provide a stunning oceanfront setting overlooking the beautiful shores of the Atlantic Ocean. We are also ideally located within walking distance of numerous fine dining restaurants and stylish nightspots while just a short drive from the heart of Miami and Fort Lauderdale's premier attractions.
Services
The Riptide Hotel has been greeting guests since 1969. Back then our hotel was right on the sand as the Broadwalk did not exist! Over the years, The Riptide has grown to accommodate the changing needs of our customers, yet always keeping the comfort and familiarity of a small oceanfront hotel in mind.
The Riptide Tiki Bar and restaurant gives our guests the opportunity to enjoy delicious meals prepared from the freshest ingredients, an ice-cold beer or a frozen cocktail while overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The Riptide restaurant also offers a variety of pizzas, sandwiches, wings and salads. Come and hang out with the local crowd for happy hour!
If you are searching for live entertainment in Hollywood Beach, the Riptide is the place for you! Enjoy signature cocktails, happy hour specials and breathtaking sunset views while listening to local artists perform seven days a week! Our performers play music from different genres that range from classic rock to today's hits.

Canceled our stay to avoid infecting the staff and other guests with Covid they thanked us by charging us $600 and selling our room to someone else. I was even asked for the positive test result when cancelling.
Stay away.

Right on beach- very cool!
Rooms a little tired, but beach right put front and a tiki bar.
Very cool vibe.
Boardwalk is in front then beach, so big stretch to walk, skate or ride a bike.

The Tiki bar is beer and wine only, and closed at 9pm on a Saturday night.
Hotel was clean and comfortable, but very old, and as such, had a few quirks (like the front door wouldn't close unless it was dead-bolted....and the key was an old school, physical house-key).

Great value paired with super sweet staff. Good food and full bar right outside your door.
Rooms are simple, but neat and equipped with basically everything you need.
Would stay again, and would definitely recommend.

This is my fourth trip to stay at Riptide and I’m a little dissatisfied this time around. There are no more free chairs, umbrellas or bicycles. And the bar is beer and wine only now. I wish I had known ahead of time so I could have prepared better. I was told there is a new owner. We are a little disappointed this time.

I was 1 or 2 two nights ago, 11/13/2021. I could not believe when the bartender served me a Heineken in the bottle, I paid for it and gave her a tip. I was a few feet away and take as sip and I realized, hey, this beer is hot. I came back to the bar, and the lady was very busy, and I politely told her my beer was hot. She looked at me and shrugged her shoulders and blamed the barback. she said, "Hey, the barback just restocked all my beers and now all I have is warm beer". Everyone around me started laughing. I said, well, can I have anything that is cold? She said "Again

This place is the absolute best that Hollywood has to offer. Service is fantastic. Rooms are perfect. The live music everyday is amazing. My favorite part about the entire experience was my bartender Donna. Whoever is reading this review I hope you have the pleasure of meeting her in person. She is the absolute best. Definitely coming back here!

The hotel was not worth the money. We experienced a view from a filthy window (essentially no view), broken down couch, sewer smells from the kitchen sink, blood spot on shower caulking, saggy bed and dirty bathroom fixtures. Luckily, the perks were being beachfront and all of the restaurants and bars are close. We liked the location. The pictures on their site and not reflective of what you will experience. I was more disappointed because they portray it as something really amazing....it is subpar. I would stay again if it was 80.00 a night but for the prices they charge...you can find better

Cool and relaxing atmosphere. Great way to spend a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Just watch your bill. My CC was charged more than what was authorized.

Unfortunately have to give a one star..for $126 a nt expected something little nicer! Room remote missing in the back and a battery,alarm clock unplugged remnants of the last guest open shampoo bottle sand just a nasty room with no ventilation should be $50 bucks a night at the most because it's facing the ocean. Look at the pictures and just imagine 10 times worse. Will never stay there again! Nightmare!

I had a really good time here. They have a live performer that is fantastic. I think he is called Chopper. He is one talented performer. I really like his choices of songs. This is one lively place.
The place has out side sitting. Its nicely spaced and sitting inside. The sitting inside requires you to wear a mask. All the workers here are wearing a mask.
I had a chicken quesadilla. I liked it. It had a lot of cheese which I loved. The flavor were good. It came with plastic silverware and a napkin inside a bag individually wrapped. They had condiments in little containers too. They made

After family has stayed here while in town for the past 6 years this hotel has seriously gone down hill! Why on Earth would a hotel charge extra to empty the garbage can in the room and change the sheets? Are you serious? You all just lost some regular guests.

Great location on the beach! Very friendly staff! Just be aware that this is like an old school beach motel. Cute and somewhat fixed up but still an old school motel. The bed was not the most comfortable and my sheets had stains. This trip was just me and my son so we just made the best of it. This review would have been very different if my wife was with us. We probably would have just left and found a different hotel somewhere in Florida. Again, the staff was very helpful and friendly. I don't think we will be back but very thankful for the staffs assistance.

Hotel part to it was pretty good, not too many complaints. A very convenient spot down the boardwalk which happens to be less crowded. I would definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone who is staying for longer than 4 days because they do have a stove and full size fridge so it's pretty convenient if you do not want to go out for food constantly. The Bar part of it was pretty good, drinks were good and pretty decently priced. My favorite were the mojitos and frozen cocktails. Here is a picture of the passion fruit, strawberry daiquiri, and mojito frozen cocktails....though the

This place is perfect for socializing with new friends and old.
The fishbowl drinks are the bomb.
They look like them too. Great food can't wait to visit again.

The music is great but the bartender needs a reminder that's it's inappropriate and rather unsanitary to play with her Wet hair while making people's drinks.

She had her hair braided, she pulled the braid out, played with her damp hair for several minutes, the rebraided her hair without washing her hands afterwards, then poured a drink and stuck her hands in the fruit to garnish. I'm literally gagging right now - there's not enough alcohol in the bar to make that okay!

This is a great spot to sit and have a few drinks and a light bite while admiring the ocean views. I know this, because that's what I did! A windy 75 degree January afternoon, wasnt quite beach weather but it was definitely drink-on-vacation weather ! A bucket of beers and some chicken wings to start off my vaca while before we walked the boardwalk and enjoyed the day!

Dreaming of Hollywood -- Hollywood, FL that is!

I just returned from a relaxing 5 days, all sunny and gorgeous, at the Riptide Hotel. I really enjoyed how friendly and attentive all the staff were! I had a very comfy, clean room with a great view of the boardwalk and the ocean (walk to beach is 50 feet!). The kitchenette was complete with dishes & utensils, a 2-burner stove top, full-size fridge & microwave. Bathroom, albeit small, is bright with no shortage of towels, and the room's AC really cools you off after the beach! Oh, they also serve up some yummy sandwiches, salads, nachos

Good time right on the beach. Laid back live music. Relaxed crowd. Only one bartender working at the time. Still worked quickly enough that I didn't even notice when my drink was placed in front of me. Ordered the rip tide lemonade. Decent tasting. Good enough and refreshing enough for a stroll on the boardwalk.
Don't come down here that often unfortunately. This place merits another visit.
