I’d absolutely recommend this resort—everything about it was perfect. The staff went above and beyond with their hospitality, making us feel truly welcome from the moment we arrived. Located right on the stunning Hollywood Beach, the resort offers easy access to the vibrant boardwalk filled with great dining spots and unique shops. The atmosphere is laid-back and tropical, just like a true getaway should be. Whether you're lounging by the pool, strolling along the sand, or enjoying a sunset cocktail, every moment felt special. It’s rare to find such a well-balanced mix of comfort, service, and location—this place truly delivers. I’ll definitely be coming back.
Staying at Hollywood Beach Marriott was a fantastic experience overall. The hotel is perfectly located right on the beach, tucked away at the quieter end of the boardwalk—peaceful, relaxing, and just steps from the sand. The rooms were spotless, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. It’s clear they take pride in their service. The only hiccup was a power surge that caused a blackout lasting about 24 hours, which was definitely inconvenient. While we understand these things can happen, it would be great if the hotel could offer some form of compensation for the disruption. Despite that, the location, cleanliness, and hospitality made this stay truly memorable. I’d absolutely recommend it and plan to return.
We had an absolutely wonderful weekend getaway at Costa Hollywood Beach Resort. The location is unbeatable—just steps from the beach, making it super easy to enjoy a morning swim or sunset stroll. The resort provides complimentary beach chairs and even lets guests borrow toys and floaties for kids, which was a huge plus for our family trip. Our room was spacious and well-appointed, featuring a full kitchen that made self-catering a breeze. The staff were warm and attentive throughout our stay. The rooftop pool has a nice saltwater feel and came with a few floating cushions—perfect for lounging under the sun. The hot tub was relaxing and well-maintained. Every detail contributed to a truly memorable experience. Can’t wait to come back again soon!
We arrived a day early to explore Hollywood Beach, just south of Fort Lauderdale’s cruise port, and were thrilled to find such a charming, local vibe. Instead of a generic chain hotel, we chose Waves on Desoto—a cozy, neighborhood-style property that felt like a true home away from home. From the very first message, the team made us feel welcome and asked about any special needs. They shared great tips on nearby restaurants and grocery spots, and even offered free courtesy bikes. The bikes weren’t in perfect shape when we arrived, but a repairman showed up right away and fixed them all—no hassle at all. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a quiet new air conditioner that barely made a sound. The bedding and amenities were top-notch. The property is small and low-rise, so the lower units are right next to the pool—just something to keep in mind if you’re privacy-conscious, though it wasn’t an issue for us. While some fixtures, like the bathroom fittings, showed their age, it added character rather than detracting from the experience. We love staying in sleek, modern corporate hotels sometimes, but this place had a warm, authentic charm that stood out. There’s no physical front desk—instead, one management company handles four nearby properties—but every call or question was answered instantly. We truly felt at ease. Stay here, grab dinner at the nearby Tiki restaurant, and ride the free bikes into the heart of the lively beach district just a mile away. You’ll fall in love with the vibe—it’s pure coastal Florida magic.
I’ve stayed at The Caroline twice now, and it’s definitely my top choice for future trips to Hollywood. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the main attractions and public transit stops. I loved how quiet and clean the room was, with a comfortable bed and modern amenities. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Everything about this stay was excellent: value for money, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere. If you’re visiting Hollywood, don’t miss this gem—it’s worth every penny. I’ll be back!
I stayed for four days and overall, I’d definitely recommend this hotel—especially for families with kids. The location is perfect: just a short walk from the beach, making it super convenient for relaxing by the water. The room was spacious, comfortable, and had a full kitchen, which made self-catering easy and practical. The front desk staff were generally friendly and helpful, though one young employee stood out for being quite rude. Cleaning service was disappointing—I requested it on day three but never received it, so I ended up buying my own broom and mop to clean up. Breakfast was basic but adequate. One big suggestion: $19 per day for parking feels excessive, especially given the overall rate. If you're charging this much, parking should be included. That said, the proximity to the beach and the comfort of the room make it worth returning. I’d stay here again without hesitation.
The location couldn't be better—right on Hollywood Beach with easy access to everything you need. The apartment was spotless and freshly renovated, with all the essentials for a comfortable stay, including kitchenware and modern amenities. It felt like home from the moment we walked in. The beachfront views are stunning, and being steps away from the sand made our days so relaxing. We loved every minute of it and will definitely return. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a peaceful yet vibrant getaway.
This little gem is perfectly positioned just steps from the boardwalk—walking distance to everything you'd want in Hollywood. The place is spotless, and the hosts couldn’t be more welcoming or helpful. We loved how quiet and cozy it felt, yet still right in the heart of the action. The location is unbeatable—restaurants, shops, and beaches are all within easy walking distance. I’d absolutely stay here again on our next visit. Plus, there’s a tiny convenience store right across the street—perfect for grabbing snacks or essentials without having to drive anywhere. Highly recommend for travelers who value both comfort and convenience!
We stayed for six nights at Charter House and absolutely loved every moment. The owner and housekeeper were incredibly friendly and welcoming—always smiling and going the extra mile to make us feel at home. The apartment was immaculately clean, down to the smallest detail, with a fresh, cozy atmosphere that made it easy to relax. Located in a quiet area, it offered peace and privacy without being far from the heart of Hollywood. We appreciated the serene surroundings, perfect for unwinding after a busy day exploring the city. The attention to detail and genuine hospitality truly stood out. Can’t wait to come back—highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a comfortable, stress-free stay!
Staying at The Starfish was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the beach and right in the heart of Hollywood, making it super convenient for exploring the area. I loved how close we were to several restaurants, so we didn’t have to travel far for great meals. The surrounding neighborhood is vibrant and safe, with a nice mix of local charm and urban energy. The room was clean, spacious, and well-designed, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. It’s rare to find such a peaceful yet lively spot in the city. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy both relaxation and adventure without compromising on comfort or convenience.
I absolutely love the unique charm of this place—it’s just a block from the beach, making it incredibly convenient for a quick stroll to the ocean. The bed was super comfortable, and I couldn’t be happier I switched from my original plan of staying at an airport hotel. This was such a better choice! That said, if you’re someone who expects spotless, high-end luxury with all the polished amenities, this might not be the right fit—this is an older property with character, not a cookie-cutter modern hotel. But that’s exactly what makes it special. It feels authentic, lived-in, and full of personality. For travelers who value vibe over perfection, this is a hidden gem worth every penny.
Staying at The Surf Hollywood Beach was an absolute delight. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from the beach and close to public transit, making it easy to explore the area. The view of the ocean from the room was breathtaking, with natural light flooding in and the soothing sound of waves calming the mind. The property itself is beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean, and has a modern, relaxed vibe that makes you feel instantly at home. What stood out most was the peaceful and secure atmosphere—perfect for a stress-free getaway. Whether you're here for a romantic escape or a family vacation, this hotel delivers on comfort, convenience, and charm. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a serene coastal retreat with excellent value.
