“How quickly things change! ("from great to not so much")”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed April 17, 2012

So where do i start? First of all i have been a repeat guest at this resort because my stays there have been so good for my wife and I. we recently returned to the resort expecting more of the same...well it wasn't the same at all aparently the GM is not longer there, she really had this place running so smoothly, now that she is gone. We were not welcomed upon check in, the lady behind the desk seemed bothered that we were taking up her time (I think her name is Tammy), never got out of her chair. later in the week we wanted new towels, she directed us to the room in the hall to drop them off, not so helpful. I asked to speak to the manager, i was told she was not on site...come to think of it we never did see her there, maybe they don't have leadership anymore? is this the owners way of saving money in these tough times? If so they wont need to spend any payroll or overhead because with no guest who needs a staff? As for the staff they seemed to be all over with no unity very different than before, everyone seemed bothered or something. i have no plans on returning to this resort with other places on the beach i will find another spot, it is a shame because this place WAS GREAT NOT ANY MORE!!!

Room Tip: The Marriott next door!

“We liked it so much, we bought a unit!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 5, 2012

My wife and I love Hollywood Beach, but we had never had the chance to stay right on the beach. We discovered the Hollywood Sands in a small hotel directory, and boy, did we make the right choice.

We stayed for a long weekend. The staff was cheerful and helpful and the other guests very warm and friendly. Can't beat the location - the Broadwalk is perfect for walking, jogging, or our daily in-line skates. We've always loved the mix of people and businesses along that beach.

Our unit was very comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the hot tub, and sunning on the patio.

We liked it so much, we bought a week in one of the other units. Can't wait to go back with our children!

“Great place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 9, 2012

What a great place to stay. The location, the staff and the long time guests combined to make our stay fantastic. We are looking forward to returning many more times.

Room Tip: The proximity to the beach, pool and hot tub makes all the rooms good.

“Small is Always Better!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 24, 2011

The Hollywood Sands Resort (HSR) is a well kept secret at Hollywood Beach. The Timeshare Resort could not be situated better -- it is a mere 20 feet from the beach and centered on the Broadwalk. The Broadwalk is a hive of activity! If you are tired of basking in the sun you can walk, shop, eat, bike, roller blade or just sit and people watch from the many benches along the way. The HSR is smaller than the large hotels so if you are tired of the impersonal hotels and the elevators then the Sands is for you. The rooms have kitchenettes for making your own breakfast and lunch and then you can stroll the Broadwalk to select your choice of food. The Hollywood Sands Resort is perfect for the family or the couple wishing for a small, cozy place away from the bustle and hustle of a larger resort. There is a small pool and hot tub and a very knowledgeable staff - the general manager runs a top notch boutique hotel and the staff could not be nicer.
