Our family travels for spring break every year and are generally easy to please.
Unfortunately, the Hyde Beach House underwhelmed.

Positives included:
1) Wrap-around balcony was as advertised with great views to the north and east.
2) Management company was generally responsive to our requests.
3) Gym had a good selection of ellipticals, treadmills, weights and other work out equipment.
4) The pool was spacious.
5) Loved the rain shower head in the master bathroom.

Unfortunately, there were many negatives.
1) When we arrived, we were not provided shampoo or soap. In all my years of traveling, I have never seen these basic items not provided. We requested the items and they were provided, but these are not items you should have to request.
2) The hotel has two pools and the ground floor pool was closed the entire time we were there. This made the 6th floor pool more crowded and it was often difficult to get a chair.
3) There were no beach towels provided in the unit. There is an arrangement for occupants of the Hyde Beach House to get two free beach chairs and towels when they go to the beach. However, we went to the beach two different days and while we were able to get two chairs, they had no towels either day. Not having a towel at the beach is certainly not ideal.
4) The listing stated there was free street parking. This is untrue as we asked at the front desk. There is no free parking anywhere near the building on this side of the intercoastal. You are essentially forced to valet park at the building for $33/day.
5) You are not allowed to bring your own drinks to the pool as there is an outside bar there. While I understand the policy, as the hotel is just maximizing its revenues, this was still disappointing. They would not even allow us to bring Gatorades for our kids which is ridiculous.
6) The second bedroom was advertised as having a queen and a single bed. While there is technically a single bed, people should be aware it is a trundle bed that pulls out from underneath the queen bed.
7) The couch in the living room was filthy. We would only sit down on it after we laid bed sheets out on it.
8) While the pool was spacious, they would not allow anyone to play catch with any balls. Not sure about anyone else, but I have always played catch in the pool with a small football or skip ball with my kids at places I have stayed at, and this was the first time this was ever prohibited. There was plenty of room in the pool to accommodate this without posing any danger to anyone.
9) Be aware that the unit’s check out time of 10 am is different than the hotel’s check out time of 11 am. This one hour difference would normally not be a big deal, but our son happened to have a radio interview at 10:30 am on our check out day which he would have preferred to have done in our unit. Instead, we had to check out at 10 am and he had to do the interview in the rental car.
