Thoughtful touches—hair dryer, starter toiletries, and a full suite of kitchen essentials—make packing light easy, while the bunk nook and second full bathroom keep everyone comfortable. Parking: All guests must pre-register with the resort! Preregistering means wristbands are programmed and parking passes are created ahead of your arrival. Guests must stop by the Tidewater registration desk upon arrival to pick up wristbands and parking pass. You’ll find this registration desk just inside the walkway doors, on the second floor. The parking garage is located across the street from Tidewater Resort. Since it changes periodically, the parking garage gate code will be sent in your Safe Travels email. Guests may purchase two parking permits for a 1- or 2-bedroom unit and 3 parking permits for a 3-bedroom unit. Cost for such passes is listed below. Parking spaces in the garage aren't assigned, so legally park where you are able to. Locate the skybridge on level 2; this will take you across the street to the main complex. After crossing the skybridge, go to the Tidewater registration desk, located right inside the doors from the crosswalk. This is where you will pick up your parking passes as well as your amenity wristbands. Return to your car(s) and place the permit(s) as directed. Parking restrictions: No vehicle exceeding 7 feet, 2 inches in height is allowed in the garage. For the safety of all, pickups with extended beds or cabs, dual wheels, tow bars, and extended rear luggage carriers are only permitted to park in the north side, rear end of the garage. Roof luggage carriers must be removed before entering the garage. Rental golf carts, scooters, and bubble cars are not authorized to park in the garage or porte-cochere. Those in violation of these rules are subject to tow at the owner’s/renter’s expense. Amenity Wristbands: Guests registering at Tidewater must be over 25 years old and registration should occur at least 24 hours in advance of arrival (ideally, more than 24 hours prior). Amenity wristbands are allocated to guests at the Tidewater registration desk, located on the 2nd floor of the resort. Wristbands will be given to guests ages 12 and up at check-in. Guests are required to wear these wristbands while on the property. Fees for these wristbands vary, depending upon when you register. This fee includes the aforementioned parking permits. PREREGISTRATION FEES (preregister must occur more than 24 hours in advance of arrival): about $40 + tax for a 1-bedroom unit. LATE REGISTRATION FEES: about $50 + tax for a 1-bedroom unit.

We had to buy ice everyday for our beach. That was very frustrating and an added expense. We did report but it wasn’t fixed. The kitchen utensils and cookware were lacking. Just a mishmash of things. The view was amazing. And pool was very clean and refreshing. We did not realize how expensive the beach chairs would be to rent-ridiculous! We bought our chairs at a local store and left them there. It was cheaper. However, on our second to last day, we discovered chairs and water floats hidden under the bunk beds - we were not told that they were there. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0cf5dbf6-20e7-4eee-b6e1-af561a6bf75c-1758026433002.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bad321a5-2872-4e7e-b1a3-dc4782613062-1758026433502.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/af50927c-9bf2-41a3-8a85-84f2907fbab6-1758026433926.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kimberly F.
