The pictures show exactly what you will see when you arrive. We were so shocked that it was as good as the photos. We were so pleased with the unit, views, location & amenities. It was absolutely perfect for our get-a-way. The unit is clean and gorgeous.
I read so many reviews before we booked and most of the comments were true. The elevators can be a struggle, but we knew what to expect (thanks to reviews). We were on vacation and went with the flow… patience is key. Don’t hesitate to squeeze on when it looks full. I was surprised how many people/things could fit on an elevator. The elevator will announce when it’s full.
Both the pool and elevator were busiest on the weekends. Monday-Wednesday were much less busy. Although we only went to the pool for a short time at the end our beach days… it is beautiful.
The chair service for the beach is WONDERFUL! You are paying for it, so you might as well try it. I typically like to hang at the pool while looking at the ocean, but I couldn’t wait to get to the beach each day. We even paid for chairs on our last day while we waited for our flight. The full lounge chairs, towels and umbrellas were a game changer. You do have to walk a little ways north of the condo to find the correct beach service, but it’s worth it. I suggest walking down to the water and then walking north until you see the red chairs & red & white umbrellas.
The communication with Tempo was great. They answered all our questions and concerns promptly.
We ate at Mama Mia’s (.5 mile south), Upper Deck Ale & Sports Pub (1.5 miles west), Hollywood Brewing Co. on Hollywood Boardwalk, Tipsy Boar (downtown Hollywood) & Billy Stone Crab (next to Hollywood Boardwalk). All were good with great service.
We rented bikes at the Bike Shack one day… great activity if you want to see the boardwalk. Earlier in the day is better…less crowded. We were told to ride all the way to the pier and it was great. We stopped for a drink and sushi at the pier bar & grill. It was beautiful to sit outside.
We highly recommend this unit and feel so lucky to have come across it. We would definitely book again!
