After getting settled into the Tides Condo in Hollywood beach, we decided to check out the beach area. The children were anxious to go for a beach walk . We were surprised to see so much seaweed on the beach, and hoped that the condo management would have it cleaned up by morning. The area had a very foul odor due to the amount of seaweed on their beach front. Unfortunately the condo management do nothing for their private ocean beach front. Five days prior to our arrival we enjoyed the beaches in Pompano and Ft. Lauderdale and their beaches were clean and beautiful. Also the pool was closed down due to it being vandalized according to the few people whom I have spoken too. Although there are 2 pools the other was overcrowded due to the one pool being close and I am assuming because of the condition of the beach. Our stay at this area of Hollywood Beach was a big disappointment due to the condition of The Tides Condos private beach front maintenance.
