BeachFront @Hyde GreatOceanView 2BR Suite

It was a nice room with a good view! We will be returning

To check in, you are hit with a daily resort fee, which allows you a towel at the over crowded pool or beach. If you want a chair at the pool-go at 7:30 AM, if you want a chair at the beach 8:30 AM. Over-crowded - and though you rent from an owner-you do not get the privileges of being an owner - 20 chairs at the pool sit unused, while people sit on the ground, because they are not owners. Over priced, over crowded. Four elevators for 41 floors. Then throw in no water and air conditioning. Over priced. Disappointing. One and done.

I was not sure if the reviews would be correct but in this unit it smells like covered up cigarette smoke. It's not unbearable but for a non smoker I would not be able to last a week in that place, and I reserved it for weeks. The problem is when I got to the room I realized it but it was too late, so I refused to stay there because of the smell but since it was in the contract already they had the right to keep the money with no refund. So I lost the money and didn't stay, it covered them but sucked for me as a potential future client.

All in all a nice place, pretty well located. Pictures do it justice. Although condo is on beach, there was quite the walk to get to our reserved section on beach which put a damper on things. One pool was operational but nice place, clean gym and facilities.

Not enough seating by the pool, only 4 elevators given the size of the resort and one was not working, gym equipment not working, 1 pool also not working. Overall, not a good place to take a family vacation. We ended up leaving and loosing 2 nights from our original booking because it was that frustrating. Oh and valet was another nightmare.

The condo view was as advertised. However the condo smelled like smoke. In addition you have to pay a $250 resort fee at check in for use of the pool(s) and chairs on the beach. The chairs are 0.3 miles down the beach (about 5 to 6 minute walk), they are not the ones that are literally at the condo's beach access. Also 2 of the 3 pools were closed down for maintenance. 1 was actually drained. So the beautiful pool deck with bar had a drained pool and caution tape every where. I notifed the condos management company, but they have now gone silent with no resolution. 7 days since they last replied back with we have not heard back from the owner. I would of assumed the resort would of notifyed the owner of the upcoming pool issues prior to our check in. At the very least we should have been told by the resort as they were charging us the $250. All this, and we were still amazed by the views. Just wish the condo itself was cleaner (hair along the baseboards and hand prints on all the glass doors) and was actually a non-smoking room. Oh and the drain in the common bathroom didn't drain well at all. Just little things that continued to add up. Especially for the price tag.

Ocean view was partial but still a great view. Hotel was very clean. Little stingy on towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, etc. Weather was perfect. I do just want to stress this is not the idea beach getaway for a family with young kids. Doesn’t have that down home people friendly feel like places in the panhandle of Florida. Lots of people with no filter around young kids. Little bit high class for my taste. Not much to do up and down the road as far as clean family fun. I guess that is expected though being so close to big time Miami. It is Florida though and was an enjoyable vacation.

We enjoyed our stay at the Hyde Resort

Multiple add on fees, just reviewed my credit card statement - and another fee - for a date I was not even there! Very little supplies provided, a lot less then other condos I have rented. Example: 1 extra roll of toilet paper for a 2 bedroom 32 bath condo rented for a week? Really? No extra garbage bags. Advertized infinity pool not a real infinity pool.

The property exceeded my expectations, views were amazing
