The view and the balcony were wonderful! That was our favorite part. It was nice being right at the beach. However, Hyde Resort is highly trafficked so that was visible in the cleanliness of the apartment as well as the use of the elevators. We often had to wait 10-20 minutes for an elevator because they are so busy. We were able to use the steps to go down but walking up to the 23rd floor would've been a bit more of a workout. I did appreciate that the staff were very in-tune with monitoring guests (i.e. checking room number/wrist band before allowing you in the elevator).
There weren't many quick food options within a few minutes of walking but we did enjoy Patagonia's pastries and empanadas which was about a 5-minute walk.
Overall, it was nice to be on the beach and we enjoyed being able to walk 40 minutes up the beach to Hollywood Beach boardwalk and then taking a Uber ride down to Sunny Isles and Bal Habour.
