We had an amazing experience at the Tides! Kelly Frasier was a dream to work with, and just the sweetest ever. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and provided exceptional service, the location is beautiful, the food was AMAZING, and everything was perfect. Literally the best day ever!

We absolutely loved having our wedding here last September! It was my dream to get married on the beach, and we loved having a place where our family could all hang out for the weekend! Sherry Michelson was our wedding coordinator, and she was amazing!! We connected really easily from the beginning, and she helped make our experience unforgettable. The food was incredible, and the staff there was really awesome. Thank you for hosting the best day of our lives!

We blocked Monterey Tides as our wedding hotel for our guests, but we had the service and reception elsewhere. We chose MT for their beautiful view-- and they did not disappoint in this regard. The lobby is a great place to hang out, and the view is to die for. However, working with them was very difficult. From the beginning, their website did not work for the wedding block. It only displayed Ocean View (and not the cheaper Garden View), plus there were many issues with our guests booking the rooms, so my husband ended up being the middle man for everything (very frustrating!). We also decided to use the bonfire package to have a pre-wedding event. We had the event for around 30 people and it cost $250 for them to set up a small fire and some chairs. It would have cost another $250 to have alcohol there (with a $1000 minimum on top of that!) They refused to offer any other compromises (e.g., we bring alcohol, we buy wine/beer from them but serve it ourselves...). Also, my bridesmaids and I got ready in the Captain's room, which was a nice space. But in order to have a light breakfast (some cereal, granola, seasonal fruit, coffee and tea) it cost $22 per person! (this was after they waived the $6 fee for having less than 20 people at the event). There were other hidden fees as well-- 1. there is a $25 "resort fee" for each night, 2. if we wanted to give our guests welcome bags it would cost $2 per bag to pass out at the desk and we weren't able to leave them outside the rooms... Also, it would take a long time for them to get back to us. Many times we had to wait a week or more, and they kept switching who we were in contact with. At one point, a month or so before the wedding, I realized the most recent point of contact didn't even know I was getting ready there with the bridesmaids! They don't communicate between themselves well. Overall, this was one of the decisions I regretted. It took too much time.
