Costa Hollywood Beach is a great place! The location and the pool on the roof are outstanding. We were in a privately managed condo unit on the 2nd floor of the north tower very close to the beach. We had no idea that it was so low and were surprised that the view of the beach was largely obstructed. I suppose that is why the cost of this unit was less than for some of the others. Anyway, we had good weather and didn't spend much time on the balcony. These privately managed units have an industrial flavor but are adequately furnished and equipped. The TV had several premium channels. The location of our unit was near the east elevator making the trip to the beach a short walk. We plan to be back next year.
Be sure to try the Bakery just across Ocean Drive for a fantastic sunset at dinner.
