“No better place to stay on Hollywood Beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 14, 2012

This is visit #5 to the Walkabout for my husband and me. I would love to lie and give this place a bad review so that we will not have a problem booking a room in the future, but.....I can't, because it is a true gem. We love coming here, and we will be back.

Room Tip: All rooms have an ocean view.

“Fantastic!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 25, 2012

Me, my husband and son stayed in the Walkabout for two night in August 2012. The only word to describe this place is fantastic, was made to feel very welcome by the staff, the tower room was where we stayed, it was very clean and everything you needed~a real home from home feel and the view was so beautiful, I could hear the waves in the morning when I walked in to the lounge area~breath taking! We had breafast along the prominad in a lovely cafe and rented fun cycles, which was so much fun. The weather was glorious and wish we could have stayed longer. We will definatly return to the Walkabout. Thank you Jo, Phil and Dylan from Wales UK x

“Best Place to stay in Hollywood”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 8, 2012

My wife and I travel regularly to South Florida and have stayed at the Walkabout 20 times or more. It is our home away from home with incredible views of the ocean and easy access to all the shops and resturaunts on Hollywood's Broadwalk. The staff is friendly and very accomodating. With the Tiki bar right outside your door, a cheap drink is always at hand. this little art deco style botique hotel is a real gem.

“Spectacular view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 30, 2012

I've stayed there three times just as a nice getaway (I live in south Florida but not in Hollywood). The room I stayed in - got the same one twice and a different one the third time, both had an absolutely awesome view of the ocean and sunrise/sunset. The place was always immaculate and housekeeping always did a wonderful job. The tiki bar was nice outside, a lot of locals seem to frequent it, but they were friendly as was the bartender, and drinks were reasonably priced. I had no complaints, quite happy with the place - it may be a bit pricey but so is everything else in the area and this place is nicer in my opinion than the Marriott or Ramada nearby. I said the restaurant was excellent on my rating because that's the only way I knew to rate the tiki bar but I don't think they had food....

Room Tip: Despite the steep stairs, the second floor ocean view has the best view...

Our staff is extremely friendly and professional, and we are always nearby to assist with any special requests. Hollywood Beach is one of the premier beach destinations in the world. The city provides twenty-one lifeguard towers and eight first-aid stations. An icon of Art Moderne architecture on Hollywood Beach’s famed Broadwalk, The Walkabout Beach Resort, is a classic 1940’s boutique hotel. Those who have visited claim it has the perfect blend of characteristics: chic, warm and inviting, glamorous, and tastefully modernized.To experience The Walkabout Beach Resort, is to experience Hollywood Beach at its best. In keeping with its classic style, eight oceanfront guest rooms are immaculately styled with the elegance of another era – wooden and terrazzo floors, interiors with rich textures, soft pink monochromatic colors, and decorations with a nod to its illustrious past mark the furnishings. Each room is adorned with vintage black and white photographs cataloguing Hollywood’s social history dating back to the 1920’s. When you stay at The Walkabout, discover its delightful Art Moderne ambiance and see how its past has been preserved to its original beauty. The Walkabout is known for its remarkable beachfront setting and legendary Hollywood Beach, Florida hotel location - on the Broadwalk. Named one of America's best beach Broadwalks by Travel + Leisure, the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk is more than 2 miles long, sizzling with energy that embodies the diversity Hollywood Beach stands for - bustling sidewalk cafes, unique shops, multi-hued streamline Art Moderne buildings, and unforgettable ocean views. Step out from the Broadwalk and spend the day settled on white sands, by a glistening ocean on one of South Florida’s most beautiful beaches.
