There were a couple of things that were a little bothersome about renting here which I will mention below but overall it was a nice stay. The location is right on the hallandale beach, the property was way bigger than the pictures look like, high ceiling and spacious living room area, two spacious bedrooms both with walk in closets, with enough room to unpack and hang all our clothes. The apartment was VERY well equipped, the kitchen had everything you need, we were able to make breakfast using stove and pots and pans. The bathroom was also very well equipped , there was shampoo and body wash, blow dryers, and plenty of towels even for the beach/ pool use. We were a bit surprised to find only one shower so you have 1.5 bathrooms, only one shower for 8 people was a bit of a challenge, but not too bad. The balcony has a lovely view and two big comfy chairs to enjoy the sun & view. The penthouse was very clean, organized and spacious, big enough for 8 of us to be comfortable.
There were a couple things we felt like we should have been told before hand. For example the parking fee, its not included in your nightly rate for the room. We had the option of paying for the week pass (1-7 days) thats what we ended up doing, even though we only stayed 2 nights it was the best rate. Also there is another registration fee we werent aware of till the day before check in- it grants you 2 pool bracelets and one FOB key card which grants you access into the building, pool and beach, you Must register at the lobby office to get your FOB key, we got 3 since it was 4 couples and the owner had 2 extra he was able to spare, that was nice of him. This registering process was a little time consuming and a bit frustrating but his assistant Julia was so sweet and helpful throughout the process. So you will arrive at The Tides, you will drive to the side of the building to meet with Julia, go to the registering office , pay for your FOB and bracelets, then you go to the valet to park your car and pay. Julia will do a walk through with you of the apt. The other issue we were a little annoyed was with the pool, they are quite strict and intimidating ( the ppl who own apt there) it is an older crowd, so they are paying attention to everything you are doing, you must be wearing your pool bracelets in order to be in the pool, no speaker/music allowed either.
This is not on the hollywood beach strip.
