We’ve stayed at Tradewinds many times.. this visit was excellent. The majority of the staff go out of the way to make you feel welcome. Our Bellhop was David. He had gone out of his way several times to make our stay better.. the coffee bar in the main lobby has the best coffee I have ever tasted! We went down there every morning and were served by a super friendly staff.. the Italian restaurant served amazing food… best breakfast around! We look forward to our next Tradewinds visit…

The staff was outstanding. Very friendly and welcoming. The hotel appeared to be in disrepair in many areas. Limitation of places to eat on property. The paddle boats looked in disrepair or old. The pond for the ducks, also allowing you to use the paddle boat, was green and filled with algae. Had not been cleaned in a while. Paid a rather high resort fee, yet not all resort amenities were open. Mini golf looked very nice online, not so much in person. Rooms appeared to be a bit outdated. Not a horrible stay, but we were anxious to leave on our final day.

I will absolutely stay here again. From check-in to check out, the staff and management was so kind and accommodating to the little issues that I had. They made me feel so incredibly special for my birthday evening away from my very busy life. Thank you everyone at the resort, it was exactly what I needed.

There was absolutely nothing remarkable. It stated that it was a resort which provides many activities. It was not true. It rained several days and the RESORT did not offer any indoor activities, except for the Dicks convention group. We went to the lounge to sit and have drinks and were promptly told we couldn't sit there because the Dicks people were to take the space at 8:00 to watch football. It was very disrespectful considering my group paid an extra 50$ a day for resort fees. I'd appreciate an apology and a refund for my so called resort fees .What a joke. I rate them a 1

Our room was dark and tiny with only a 12 inch window looking at the courtyard. Not the beach view in the picture. It was not particularly clean. I would have paid more for a better room if I had known. I was initially taken aback by the rough and rusty corridors on first floor, but had forgotten the hurricanes. Given that, their progress is admirable. Hated that we were not allowed to use a luggage cart ourselves. That necessitated a tip to the mandatory bellman, but we only had very large bills and the resort is cashless, so we had to drive somewhere to get tip money. Not great after a long drive. Beach and cabanas were great and very accessible. Great entertainment and lots of options. Room was far less than what we are used to, but they are working hard to bring back the rest of the resort. All staff were welcoming and gracious.

I’d like to start with what we loved; the free shuttle was nice and we got to explore downtown pier. We enjoyed RumFish Grill, great service and good food. We also appreciated an early check in. Our tropical view actually gave us a somewhat view to the water and sunset sky. The rest was average to poor. Check in was a little longer than I am used to, with about 20 min stand in line waiting while there was a long line and only 2 workers. The room was dirty, dirty tissue on chair, dirty mirror, dusty furniture… Most of what is shown in advertisement is closed and not operating like the floating games in water, bars, restaurants. The grounds are not monitored and they let kids do whatever they want, it was very annoying having 5 kids in a hot tub jumping around, blowing their nose and splashing. When we finally made it smores night there were no more smores, as they just let people(kids) grab what they want and they do not replenish. Towels were hit or miss, one point we had to wait for over 45 mins for clean beach towels in the AM. Also asked for extra towels for my room and they arrived over 8 hours later with many calls in between. Breakfast buffet was average and the service was poor. We had to ask for service after waiting a while, finally the waitress that kept walking past us took our drink order, and at bill charged us for the drinks (shouldn’t have as it was included for buffet) in between that, did not get our plates to clear our table, more was not offered……
