    To celebrate the last day of our summer camp, we took thirty excited 10 and 11 year-old students (coed!) on our third annual trip to Tidal Cove. It was the perfect way to end the summer. We arrived right when the park opened at 10 AM on a Wednesday, and were greeted by a super friendly staff. They helped us complete waivers for each student. It was easy to do on your phone or the tablets they provided. After getting our wristbands, we headed straight for the beach chairs right in front of the slides. Great view, great energy! The kids were hyped and didn't waste a second before running up the stairs to hit the slides. There are about 3-4 slides total (one was down for maintenance), and even though it's a bit of a hike to the top, they didn't mind one bit. Meanwhile, I was loving the lazy river right behind us. So calm. So peaceful. 10/10 would recommend. There's also a big pool with tons of lounge chairs that the students loved, and a splash zone for the younger ones that was also a hit. One thing I really appreciated as a chaperone? There were plenty of lifeguards stationed throughout the park. I never had to second guess the kids' safety. They were being watched from every angle. That gave me so much peace of mind. We ordered pizza and burgers for lunch, and I the pizza tasted even better this year. Im pretty sure they updated the recipe. The burgers and fries (for the chaperones) were bomb. Zero complaints! Food was kind of pricey though. ‍ I was very happy with the restrooms. Clean, air-conditioned, and playing music. Love that little touch. Best part? No rain this year! WE wrapped up around 2:15 PM after a fun and sunny day. Our poolside attendant was so kind and helpful. I hate that I can't remember his name, but he definitely made our experience even better. We'll be back for summer #4, no question!

    I've been wanting to take my kids to Tidal Cove for a while since it's probably the closest water park option in the North Miami area. Tickets are usually pricey, especially on weekends, so we held off for a bit. We finally found them for around $60 per person and figured we'd give it a shot ( ironically next week they are charging $500 per person - that is wild & def. Not worth it!) I was told that if you stay at the hotel overnight, they do give you access to the pool (you just need to make sure that you select the appropriate amount of people for the room because that is how many tickets they will provide). Also, kids 3 & under are free! To be honest, I'm glad we waited. Most of the slides require kids to be at least 48" tall, and only 2 out of my 3 kids hit that mark. It would've been frustrating if we went earlier and they couldn't even ride most of the stuff. Even so, there were only 4 different type slides in total. One of them was 42" and up, but the rest were 48", which felt a bit limited as is for the kids. The stairs to get to the slides are rough, especially since for one of the rides you have to carry a heavy tube with you -- not ideal with little kids & an adult would def have to help carrying the tube up. The rides themselves were just okay; nothing crazy or super exciting. My kids are 6 and 7, and they weren't too impressed. They actually spent most of their time swimming in the main pool (which we could do at our condo building). The Kid Cove area was super toddler-ish. I'd say it's best for 4-5 year olds. My kids tried it but got bored pretty quickly. The lazy river also wasn't heated and was actually kind of cold, which made it less enjoyable; was one and done. Cabana: We got a cabana and while it was on the expensive side, it did give us peace of mind. We could keep all our stuff in one spot, and it came with a large sizable safe which was helpful. You get 4 waters, 4 sodas, and a small fruit platter included; everything else costs extra. The pizza was a hit with the kids. I tried the burger (it was ehh.. nothing special) and a chicken Caesar wrap wasn't the best (it was more soggy lettuce in a wrap). I expected better since this is part of the JW Marriott, but I've had worse at other "parks". Pool Side Chairs: If you leave towels and stuff unattended by the pool for more than 45 minutes, staff will remove it. This happened to us at least 3 times while we were off riding or in the pool, which was pretty annoying. We were lucky that we had most of our belongings in the cabana not being touched. I only imagine if we didn't get a cabana what we would be doing trying to retrieve our stuff. Overall: It's a nice place, especially if you can score cheaper tickets, but I wouldn't go again just for the water park experience. The rides aren't really the main attraction -- it's more about the pool and amenities. I'm glad we went, but it's probably a one-and-done for us. Not quite worth the premium price.

    We booked this hotel mainly for access to the water park, which is a great feature. However, the water park was very busy during our visit. Some of the pools closed at different times without much explanation, which made areas like the lazy river and rides extremely crowded. That said, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and we still had a great time. There is food and beverage service at the water park, but if you're visiting with kids, I recommend heading to one of the restaurants instead it's a much easier experience. Thank you for an enjoyable day! We'll definitely come back when it's less crowded.

    Super fun, innovative, and relaxing water park located in the JW Marriott Resort & Spa!!! If you stay in the hotel the water park is included which is outstanding, but for those not staying there you can purchase day passes on Day-cation or the Tidal Cove websites. Prices were a little in the higher end but the relaxing vibes are well worth it. We got seated with towel and food services. Our server was the sweetest lady and helped us with all our needs. The prices for food and drinks are on the steeper end yet they were all very good! Food and drinks were very well made and fresh. The water park has an all kids section for smaller children and the rides are for anyone taller than 48"= 1.33 yards. There are 6 water rides in total for 4 riders, 2 rides, and single riders. This does not include the lazy river. The parking garage is now $32.99+tax for all day. Overall the park was not extremely packed and we went all over the rides multiple times and went in the heated pool zones to relax. Highly recommends to family and friends! ^.^

    We decided to try this location with a Resort Pass! So let's talk about the pros: some water park like adventures like slides and a lazy river which are all really fun! It also wasn't super busy which is really nice. The food was really good which helps after a full day of adventure! Staff was also extremely nice. Cons: you had to pay about $35 to park in addition to the resort pass which I thought was a little pricey. The food was good but also expensive which would make sense since this place is tied to an upscale hotel. Although it was pricey we would consider going again!

    An unexpected adventure at an incredible resort! Adulting is overrated so we decided to be kids again. We found this awesome spot thanks to ResortPass. We were looking for a chill pool day and weren't sure where to go. Many of the miami scene pool parties had way too many dress code rules and we honestly just wanted to have fun, chill, eat and drink. That's exactly what we did at Tidal Cove. After booking our reservations online that same morning, we came out on a Friday and expected it to be super packed and also full of kids (since it's the perfect place for a family getty). This place is a whole vibe, when you walk in it's a true resort experience. What I mostly love about this place is that you get complimentary towels, there are outdoor rinsing areas and complimentary showers (only open til 5pm), free chair lounges, complimentary water stations are located throughout the resort. So for sure a plus and one less thing to think about when visiting. There are also lockers available but we ended up not needing them. We started off relaxing by the pool, ordering delicious drinks (we got a pitcher with their delicious mezcal drink - can't remember the name!) and some apps to snack on. The vegetarian sushi was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Once we got some food and drink in, we decided to be lazy and let the lazy river take us away. This part was awesome and just so relaxing. After going around for a couple of rounds we got off at one of the stops and went straight to the water slides. This was SUCH a blast. The only downside is doing all the steps (which honestly aren't so bad, they kind of build up the hype haha). A lot of the rides are for two so you won't be able to ride solo. The mat ride you can do a solo ride or even the suspended slide one - that one was INSANELY awesome. Despite it being a small waterpark the rides are IT and it wasn't too overcrowded nor were there too many kids. It was the right balance. We hit up the flowriders boogie board surfing thingie (it was my first time ever trying it). They make you watch a few safety videos and fill out a waiver and then you're good to go! The amazing and incredible staff here truly make you feel safe, secure and confident. Their confidence in you honestly builds up your own so by the time you go out there you can literally learn a few tricks in just a few rides/waves. I hadn't ever done anything like this and the guys were so helpful. This was my absolute favorite part of my experience here. Getting to learn, ride, and have a blast. We came out of here feeling so refreshed after a nice swim in their warm pool (and a few hot tubs later). This is exactly what we didn't know we needed and we can't wait to be back! What a fun way to spend the day in this incredible resort with so many awesome amenities. LOVED THIS!

    I lived in Miami for a decade and never heard of this water park before!! How!??? I didn't even know about it until I happen to stay at the JW Marriott Turnberry where it's attached to!! I was therefore completely unprepared! I didn't even have sunscreen!? But I did have a bathing suit in my bag and off I went. They open at 9am however no attractions open until 10am. You can swim and eat and drink. The best thing about coming on august 14 is that school has started and until noon there were probably 30 people in the whole park. There was no wait for anything, you just kept going up those stairs doing rides over and over. Downside is that the 2 drops slides were closed (fine by me as I'm a scary chicken). I started with the yoga mat rides that the staff called little kids rides however I already had to get in to it lolololol. But once I went there was no stopping. Then I tried to carry a seat up to find the minimum weight is 160lb for the right so you need to be with at least 2 people and I am faaaaar under that. For the round floatie I joined many others but for the duo seat I never managed to get a ride. Which is unfortunate but more so the girl down the tower didn't say anything and had me carry the thing to the top for nothing! I loved the surfing!! After signing a waiver the staff was super kind and helpful teaching you. As there was for a while nobody for me I kept trying to get better and managed to get on all 4s (: after that I never went back because it got busy and a line started forming. (In my opinion wakeboarding behind a boat is way more fun but also different to learn). The pools were soooo beautiful, everything screams luxury. Even the bathrooms are breath taking! Far from your standard pool toilet! The lazy River was nice and you can enjoy the environment during the ride. Food and drinks are very expensive. This is JW a luxury resort. There is free water stations and plenty of towel stations. My favorite part was that is was not busy at all. I left at noon because I think I got the most out of it also you can't keep doing those stairs. I'm writing this review because my legs are already killing me preventing me to fall asleep! If I had known I'd be here today I'd probably did some kind of working out but it you don't do anything but be lazy, this is the result. This is a very active physical experience unless you lay poolside all day! All staff was very friendly. They help you set up your chair with towels and an umbrella. Everything was super clean. It also feels very safe! Of course it wasn't super busy but the vibes were just right. I left my bag open on a chair the time I was there and felt safe doing so. However during the weekend that might be different but I can't tell you if there's lockers as I did not look or even think of them! The price is pretty high but that is because location and luxury. Water parks in Orlando are bigger for the same price but more competitors and less fancy. Parking is $45 overnight but I had to pay it for my hotel stay regardless. I recommend coming with at least another person. I tried to offer my free entries that came with the JW Marriott room to others but on a week day last minute that was unsuccessful and it affected my experience. However still had an amazing time and if I'd get another chance I to come back even it was alone again I'd do it all over again! (Just not in the next days.... Legs...)

    Tidal Cove - at first I thought this was just a new way to trap tourists in miami, but to my surprise it wasn't . This was my first time here to celebrate my sons birthday we stayed over night at the hotel and made our way to tidal cove the next day. We had a cabana for the day which was perfect, since it was still football season my son and his friends got to enjoy the water park while I got to enjoy the adult beverages and football. Jeffrey and his team were amazing!!! Jessica took care of us and everything was just perfect. Great place to host kids events. The staff is very attentive, they do a great job tending to their guests and making sure everyone has what they need. This is by far one of the cleanest water parks I've been to, my son cannot wait to go back.

    Water slide

    Great place for kids you can lounge while kids enjoy the water rides. It small and you can see your kids while you relax.

Meghan is the best SUP instructor/instructor trainer I've had. She's obviously very knowledgeable, but more importantly, she's also awesome at conveying that knowledge. We covered a huge amount of information in the ACA L1/2 workshop, but she made it manageable and easily understandable. The welcome letter she sends prior to class is very helpful and lets you know what to bring, the schedule, and what to expect. Her videos are also extremely helpful to watch beforehand. I thought the ACA workshop would be largely review for me, but I was surprised by how much I learned. She's also very upbeat, encouraging, and patient, and her low-pressure approach creates the perfect environment for learning. She taught high school math for 9 years, and I think her background in education plus her SUP knowledge and skills make her an outstanding instructor and instructor trainer. I'm looking forward to returning for ACA L1/2 instructor certification training.
