The Hyde Resort and Residence offered us a quality stay during a much needed adult vacation. The unit, on the 34th floor btw, has an AMAZING view of the beach and city. The space is very comfortable and stylish.
Resort has 2 pools, but one was down for maintenance during our visit. If this happens again, and you time it just right you can find a poolside chair or cabana, and space in the pool to soak and drink poolside. Also, a bonus for the rental was the 2 chairs, towels and umbrella for the beach. It’s a bit of a walk to the kiosk to get them but here’s a tip: walk close to the water to avoid slogging through the sand. Makes the walk much better!
The building is conveniently located across from a 7-11 and not far from Walmart and Publix. We did Instacart since we didn’t have a car. You will need to bring your own food, snacks, water, etc.
You MUST use the Circuit—a local transportation company whose rides are $2 pp and cover the local areas in/around Hollywood, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami. You CANNOT connect between the cities unfortunately, but you cannot beat $2 if you want to stay local.
The host was great, too! Communicated within less than an hour. Offered an early check in. The resort staff was friendly and informative when it came to get info about the sights.
