The beach at The Tides is perfect - white sand and swaying palms, lush loungers and thick palapas complete with little flags to raise and alert your attendant that you are in need of a cool drink or fresh order of guacamole:
On our last day, I traded in this view:
For a quick tour of the property. This is no high-rise hotel, 3 levels max and all painted in muted Mexican colors to contrast the plethora of bright green palms and other tropical foliage:
I love that even the entry level room category comes complete with semi-private veranda, table for al fresco dining, and hammock:
But I wanted to see the finer rooms and made my way to a Penthouse with this fabulous bed:
And super-chill, super-large veranda with plenty of room for lounging and taking in the views:
That is, if you weren't enjoying the refreshment of your own private infinity pool:
Off to see more of the common areas. These bar stools are the most innovative I've ever seen:
All the polished wood had me giddy and excited:
The serene vibe in the spa, and AMAZING SMELL, awakens your senses so you can take in the cool Moroccan decor:
A few of my favorite architectural details... this is the silent fountain that welcomes you in the lobby:
I love, love, love this chandelier in the beach restaurant:
These little dreams kept appearing everywhere:

And the only downside is this, possibly my least favorite view... but sans ship it is AMAZING and the kids, well, they liked watching the ship come in and out...
