The Tel

About The Tel

The Tel is an independent timeshare resort in Hollywood, Florida — not part of a major branded chain, which typically means it's run by its own owners' association or a local management company rather than a national corporate office. Its RCI affiliation is the key detail for both current owners and anyone considering a purchase: weeks here can be deposited into the RCI exchange network for a shot at other RCI-affiliated resorts worldwide, in addition to simply using the week on-site in Hollywood.

The Area & What's Nearby

Hollywood sits on Florida's Atlantic coast in Broward County, within easy reach of both Fort Lauderdale and Miami-Dade. Hollywood Beach and its two-mile Broadwalk are the local centrepiece — sandy beach, oceanfront cafés, bike rentals and a genuinely walkable promenade, all about 2 km from the resort. Fort Lauderdale Beach is a short drive north, Miami Beach's Art Deco district is reachable for a day trip, and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Aventura Mall cover entertainment and shopping without having to go far. It's a practical base for anyone who wants beach time plus easy access to greater Miami-Dade.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at The Tel and are ready to move on, listing it as a private resale on BidMyTimeshare.com works the same way as any owner-to-owner sale: you set your own asking price, write up the week and any usage details, and interested buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to get your ad live, and we don't take a cut of the sale — 0% commission, so what you agree with the buyer is what you keep.

Because The Tel is an independent resort rather than a resort brand with its own transfer program, resale here typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a corporate resale desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the association: the current transfer fee to put the deed or membership into the buyer's name, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and the current annual maintenance fee. These figures aren't published by the resort publicly, so get them in writing as part of your sale rather than relying on what a previous owner paid.

A resale buyer at The Tel should expect to receive the underlying ownership interest (the deeded week or equivalent) and, once properly transferred and registered with the association, access to RCI for exchanging that week — RCI affiliation travels with ownership, not with the individual owner. What a buyer does not automatically get is any past owner's points balance, banked weeks, or loyalty perks tied to the previous account; those don't carry over in a resale.

What Renters Look For

Short-term renters booking a week at The Tel are generally after straightforward value: a Hollywood base close to the beach, at a lower cost than a hotel right on the Broadwalk, with enough space for a family or group. If you're renting out your week rather than selling, be upfront in your listing about the unit size, view, and exact dates, since renters booking around the winter high season plan early.

Practical Notes

Hollywood's climate is warm and humid for most of the year, with the busiest, priciest stretch running roughly November through April. If you're using or renting out a week via RCI exchange, deposit and book early for that peak window — availability tightens well before winter arrives.
