“If you are renting a condo there is a $40 / day mandatory valet fee and $70 / day resort fee. The drinks from the bar are $19-$25 so be aware. Coffees at the bar are $8. The rooms were nice and very clean. I booked through air bnb and it was a very smooth process.”
“Wonderful time at the Tide Vacation Apartments this week. What an amazing remodel! The rooms have been refreshed and updated but did not lose any of its charm from decades past. Beautiful view of Hollywood Beach at an area of the Broadwalk that is a lot less busy! No competition for a spot of the beach like other parts!!”
“I hesitated to write this review because we want it all to ourselves just like others who have written the same thing. This property has the best pool on the beach. Most other resorts have the pool behind the hotel. At the Tide Vacation Apartments it is front and center with plenty of lounge chairs and tables around it. I have stayed here around 10 times over the last 20 years. It has always been a great experience. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms have always been clean and if there has ever been a kitchen utensil or beach chair that we wanted they found one for us. There are newer and bigger properties on the broadwalk but I would never consider staying anywhere else in Hollywood Room Tip: The 4 ocean front corner rooms cost a little more but are well worth the price.”
“Our family of 8 were most keen to stay at the Tide. They were fully booked for our dates. Christina was tireless and relentlessly patient in trying to cobble together rooms in this excellent facility. We were slow off the mark for booking and ultimately there was not an adequate amount of suitable space. I am unaccustomed to such a high level of caring service. The Tide will remain our first call for future vacations.”
“Loved this little gem of a place. This was our first time staying in Hollywood and only our second time in South Florida, and we stayed for a week. I only stumbled upon this place when I was using Google Maps to try to find a place right on the broadwalk, and I am so glad we did. It’s toward the quieter north end of the broadwalk but still easily walkable in a few minutes to the more upbeat section south if that’s your thing. Everyone we encountered here was so nice. The front desk staff introduced themselves to us, along with the housekeeper and maintenance man as well. Just a side note especially if bringing a little one, there was only a shower in our room and the bathroom floor got super slippery, so a little difficult with the tot but definitely still doable. They restocked clean towels daily without asking which was a plus since we had to wipe the slippery floor after showers. I loved this place so much though and wish I could live here year round I have never said that about any other place we have stayed on any beach, just a very welcoming place. This was also only one of the handful of places we walked past that also had a pool right there. We didn’t use it much but it was nice to have with the little one. Parking lot is a little tight but that seems normal for the area, and you do get parking included with the rate. The beach was literally steps away and the weekdays it was almost like we had a private beach. Can’t wait to come stay again! Included are views from our second floor room and the view of the hotel from the beach I didn’t get pictures inside the room but it was nice and seemed recently renovated”
“We loved this place! It’s cute and very clean with the kindest hard working staff. The ocean views were wonderful from our windows, sitting outside our room, and by the pool. The broad walk and ocean are steps away, along with many restaurants, bars and shops. We will be back!”
“Perfect, perfect, perfect!! The location is wonderful, literally pool, boardwalk, beach. The Tide is further down the boardwalk so it is not right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of all the shops and restaurants which is absolutely perfect. We brought our family of seven and love that the portion of the beach we are by is less busy due to not being by all shops. We stayed in 102 which is the only two bedroom. Fit our family perfectly. The rooms are a little older maybe not as modern, but we didn't come to sit in our room, lol.”
