Cons: Expensive drinks. Clueless, unhelpful front desk staff. Run down complex Our room's toilet leaked. (2725) Showers had warm water, never hot. Pros: The beach is phenomenal. The drinks, while expensive, were good. We were able to get a 3pm check out. The activities were nice. Myself and 2 other ladies came for a girls weekend. (Fri-mon) It was $1200 total and I feel like that was waaaay too much for the state of this resort. It is run down and doesn't live up to that price point. I had a great time, I would go back with my family, as long as the price per night reflected a serious discounted rate from $1209 for 3 nights. read more

I had an emergency and had to leave the property. I was looking for a partial refund and they said since I used the beach and took a shower they couldn't even give me a partial refund. I tried talking to everyone and they just wouldn't understand. Not only that they said they can refund the parking charge. But they charged me again. The room is very dated for the amount they charge and then you have a parking fee? It's crazy. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL. STAY AWAY AND HOPE YOU NEVER HAVE AN EMERGENCY. NOBODY WAS THE LEAST BIT HELPFUL read more

What a wonderful trip we had and loved this resort. Stayed in a newly renovated room and it was beautiful. The beds are soooo comfortable and I fell right to sleep each night. Love the amenities in the kitchen with everything you need to use the kitchenette for meals. Resort has a huge beach access and lots of little places to hide and enjoy the sunshine. read more

RumFish Beach at TradeWinds - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - St. Pete Beach, Florida

Got here later than scheduled (11:30 pm), besides the $330 resort fee found out they now charge $25 PER NIGHT just to park in their parking lot!! We got to our room and the AC wasn't working, got another room but was no longer a suite. We usually stay elsewhere but chose to return here this year (been here several times in past years). Honestly, there are many better choices along this beach to stay so good luck if you choose Rumfish as it is run down and not worth the price!. Ps: Most of the staff don't act like they want to even work here and are clueless! For $330 "resort fee" you really get nothing but a chair on the beach and after the rain, I along with 30 other families had to find the sand drill/auger to set up our own umbrellas because no employees came out to help,,,UGH!!!) read more

Dirty, dark, non-personable staff. Listen to the bad reviews, as I decided to take a chance and was very let down and had to leave and pay for another hotel.. Left the same night and hotel will not refund me, as the room was not as described. Broken things, carpet turned your feet black, ants, etc. Almost $300 a night to be disgusted. read more

First, I thought the staff this resort was AWESOME to everyone. We spent 4 days here for a wedding, and had several rooms booked. Anytime we encountered a staff member,they were so friendly,helpful and welcoming. The resort offered a lot of guest activities including water aerobics,yoga,a gym and things for kids. Our suite had two bedrooms,1with a queen bed and the other with 2 queen beds. There were 2 full bathrooms, a kitchen,dining room with a balcony and a living room with a balcony. We also had a full oceanfront room. There was construction going on while we there from the last hurricane but it didn't interfere with the resort guests. The resort is dated and could use a facelift, but it wasn't terribly dated. Unfortunately, I didn't have any time to take pictures because I was too busy with the wedding. read more

Visited in March 2025 after hurricane. It is a dated resort and needs a renovation but it was not rundown. We rented room 7801 the penthouse. Only one elevator working due to hurricane and elevator took a while but stairs quick. Room was as expected. Disappointed no dishwasher or in room laundry. Blanket had rips in it and not very soft but overall comfortable sleeping environment. Bathroom very clean. TVs old and small. They scrambled last day and couldn't watch tv. Air filters in room black and need a changing. Pools quite small for size of resort but two of them. Only one on the beach. Didn't appreciate adults sitting in the pool drinking and people playing football in such a small pool. It made it unwelcoming. Much more of a bar atmosphere for adults than kid friendly vibe. Poolside drinks okay but all syrup and too sweet. Nothing healthy. Food was okay but not enough seafood or healthily options and no kids menu. Hammocks had tears in them and almost unusable. No bathrooms available outside and ones inside unusable due to hurricane. Beach was best part. Cabanas included and beach pristine. Beach was great with cabanas included. Wish could have had second cabana for our daughter. Some beach service for drinks and food but spotty. Enjoyed beach games and slide. No bingo or other games at RumFish but some at island grand. Hairbraiding and hennna at island grand was nice RumFish lacked enough free activities for kids. Magician was a no show. So only thing we did was touching marine life with was nice. Need more poolside games for kids and families. Daughter liked marshmallow roasting. Music was horrible oldies and way too loud. They need more modern music. They played music until 10 pm and this disturbed my rest. Cafe in lobby for coffee and pastries took 30 mins every morning due to line and only one person working. They need to hire a 2nd person. Good location 5 min from grocery and many restaurants in the area. Overall I wouldn't return due to the party atmosphere, small crowded pool, low quality food and drinks and lack of free activities and engagement for the kids. read more

its not what it seems online they post pictures that falsify the acuall look when you arrive its so small the lobby has tons of people running around,Kim is not nice to deal with behind the scenes,i would give this a zero rating if i could,its on the beach is its only claim to fame and i saw under age drinkers at pool bar they looked 16 read more

Security is a big problem at Runfish. Do not say there if you value your safety and property. I was a police officer for 35 years in Denver, Colorado, and I know something about security. We stayed there from September 10, 2025, through September 19, 2025. Our door was left propped open or not closed all the way for two straight days (9/17 and 9/18) while we were sightseeing for at least 8 hours each day until after dark. Anyone could have walked in and waited until we got home or just taken what they wanted (many of you will remember the sexual assault on 60s singer and actress Connie Francis due to lax security during her stay at another hotel). Reported to security, nothing done. We were told humans make mistakes. I won't bore you with all the other details, but here are a few: 1. The rooms are not as shown. $470 a night got us a room that was nothing like it was pictured. Very small with no walk-in shower. The Sirata just down the street had nicer, newly remodeled rooms for $300 a night. 2. Live music shaking our floor EVERY NIGHT WE WERE THERE until 10pm. Reported, but it was never even turned down. 3. Very slow WiFi. 4. Other reviews reported black mold. 5. One positive: Our room was cleaned very well every day. We love St. Pete Beach. We have stayed there at least once every year for the last 10 years. Try the Hilton or The Beach House Suites for a much better value and secure stay. read more

Had a fantastic time! Gulf side room was great. Food and drinks were amazing. Pools and beach were great. There was more construction on the Island Grand site when we went in July. Definitely going to stay here again for a fun and relaxing beach getaway. read more

Dear Mr. Johnson, I am writing to formally express my deep concern and disappointment regarding an incident that occurred during my recent stay at RumFish Beach at TradeWinds, from July 3-6, 2025, which was meant to be a celebration of my wedding anniversary. At 4:30pm on July 5, I was approached by a security guard named Jeff while using one of the resort pools. Without warning or explanation, he ordered me to exit the pool. When I asked for clarification, he accused me of removing a "no swimming" sign--an accusation that is entirely false. My husband, who was sitting nearby, and I both explained that neither of us had touched any signage, yet the guard escalated the situation by threatening to call the police if I did not get out of the pool (in which I did) and ultimately he did so anyways. Despite our request for him to review the security footage--which would have confirmed we had done nothing wrong--he refused, and we were humiliated by being escorted by police to our room and asked to leave the property. Adding to the emotional distress, there was another individual (male) in the pool at the time, yet I was the only one targeted. The security guard's actions felt personal, intimidating, and discriminatory. As we were leaving, he even smirked at my husband, adding insult to injury. This experience was not only deeply humiliating, but it also caused significant emotional distress and disrupted a weekend that was meant to be celebratory. I have since consulted legal counsel, as I believe this situation was handled inappropriately, without investigation or due process. I am requesting a full refund for the portion of the stay lost due to this wrongful eviction and a formal review of the actions taken by your staff. I trust that your management team will take this matter seriously and respond with the professionalism and accountability expected from a resort of your standing. Sincerely, A. Camp Confirmation number- 25884SF500547 read more

Yeah, this place is a solid three stars. From what we saw there's nothing fancy about this place. Entrance to your room is from the balcony walkway. So this means you can hear anybody walking up and down by your door. Parking is a little bit of a challenge as well. For what we paid, our room was small and there was no microwave in the room. We did go check out the pool and jacuzzi. We did have an issue trying to find where pool towels were located. You actually have to leave the pool area and walk around the outside of the building to where they have them in a shed (had to go to the front desk to find where they were located). We did relax in the jacuzzi for a bit. The area closes at 11pm and a worker did come scoot us away shortly after 11pm. Located on the beach, this place carries a hefty fee to stay. When you check in, they give you a wristband so that you can use the facilities next-door. We didn't try the facilities, nor did we try the restaurant in front that goes by the same name. For the price, this place wasn't worth it to me. Looking around the local area, everything on the water was fairly pricey. Local friends said this place has blown up in prices over the last few years. There is a variety of restaurants and bars in the local area. This is definitely the tourist side of the St Petersburg area. read more

This company needs to take the safety of their customers serious. On Wednesday February 11th our water stopped working. We went to the front desk to inquire. Employee at front desk had previous complaints but didn't know the reason the water stopped working. He took our room & phone number and said he would find out and let us know. We went back up to our room. A few hours later the water was back on. We let the water run for a long time. The next morning we went for for a walk outside. We went to look at their other properties next door that are also TradeWinds. We noticed there were signs hanging all over and on each of the guest room doors notifying them of a boil water alert. We went back to the front desk and asked why we didn't get a notice? The man sarcastically handed us a piece of paper and said here take this one. I said we've been up for hours and didn't know about the boil water alert yet the property next door all got notices on their doors. The front desk clerk said that's weird you should have. We left and went to our floor and there were no notices on any door. We know they couldn't put them under the door because the carpet was frayed by the door. They had all night to put notices up in the elevator hallways and on doors to ensure all the customers knew not to use the water. They failed miserably! It's not their fault that the water was shut off or the break in main pipe, however they should make sure everyone knows. We will never come back to this place!! read more

I've stayed here before the latest hurricane. A little dated but otherwise we had a very nice stay, I'd book here again

the only thing appealing about this restaurant is was the view of the large aquarium and the recommended cocktails My medium rare burger and the salmon were cooked to death and all food was too salty. Fries were ok. Our server was excellent. We would never go back. read more

Power went out in the middle of the night, AC down generators could not power it, because of the grid? That was down, elevators out, bathroom ceiling starts to leak and I go to front desk 4 times to let them know they are not handling the situation, sink in kitchen is clogged, phone in room does not work, no one answers phone, water is shut off, we assume due to leak on our room, it was a different issue and the entire building has not water, pool shut down, bar serving limited drinks and POS system down. Place is a cluster and of the tradewinds resorts seems to be in the best shape, we had a far superior experience at the Beachcomber it was nice, we booked through Priceline and they tell us we have to contact them, Priceline says the hotel has to do it, I get it life happens, still we are on vacation and it did not seem to be a focus for the staff to make it right, as I sit here, they are sending staff home who are complaining about the fact they are being sent home and the water is down. No offer to change rooms to another without a leaking ceiling, just not right, restaurant is closed, all bathrooms closed. Just not right.shower leaks and doesn't work correctly. read more

Our issues began months before we even arrived. Shortly after booking our stay at RumFish Beach at Tradwinds, we noticed the same room and dates listed for about $50 less per night on a third-party site. I called RumFish directly, expecting a price match or at least an explanation. Instead, I was bluntly told there was nothing they could do. When I asked what the benefit was to booking directly through the resort, I received no clear answer, just that they couldn't honor the lower rate. That should have been my first red flag about their approach to customer service, but unfortunately, I ignored my instincts. A few days before check-in, I received an email offering an upgrade to a Gulf-facing room and early check-in. (Our original reservation was for a resort-facing room with Queen beds). I clicked to accept the upgrade to a Gulf- facing room but noticed after I clicked that this room had Double beds instead of Queens. I called the resort to switch back, only to be told that even if we didn't change anything, there was no guarantee we'd get Queen beds, which is something we specifically needed for two adults and two children. All they could offer was to "put a note in the reservation that we preferred Queen beds" and hope for the best. I also asked about early check-in, as mentioned in the email, and was told this "could not be guaranteed" and to simply show up early and see if anything was available. We arrived around 11:00 AM and were told the room wasn't ready but that we'd receive a call when it was. That call didn't come until 3:45 PM. I'm still unsure why we were offered early check-in if it wasn't actually an option. Upon check-in, with two kids (a 7-year-old and an infant) and lots of luggage, no one offered assistance or even a cart so I had to ask. Eventually, a bellhop arrived and we walked across the parking lot to the "Wahoo" building with our luggage and kids who were hot, hungry and tired after waiting for our room since 11 am. When we got to our room in the "Wahoo" building, it hadn't even been cleaned. I left my husband and kids outside in the heat while I walked back to the building with the hotel lobby to tell them the room they sent us to was not cleaned. I was matter of factly given the key to another room with zero apology or explanation. When I expressed frustration, the staff member actually said, "Come back and see me once you're settled and calmed down." Completely unacceptable. We also noticed that we were not given a parking pass at check in, so we had to yet again go to the other building hotel lobby to get a parking pass. The room we were eventually given was in poor condition. The floors were filthy; after walking around barefoot on the first day, my 7-year-old's feet were jet black with dirt. I didn't let her take her shoes off again during the stay. The shower was full of hair did not drain, and as we would shower the bathtub would fill up so we would be standing in ankle deep rising water with other people's hair floating. The sinks also didn't drain properly. The mini fridge we had in our room leaked the entire stay. Even worse, the walls had what appeared to be dried bodily fluids (like boogers), which is just inexcusable. We had no Wi-Fi the entire time. On day one, I called the front desk and was told it would be fixed soon. It was not. On day two, I called again and was told I needed to contact Spectrum myself and was transferred to Spectrum. The Spectrum rep was shocked and appalled that the hotel had pushed this onto a guest and informed me they couldn't speak to me about the issue since I wasn't on the account. Wi-Fi is included in the $25/day resort fee, but we never had access. After calling about the wifi with no resolve, we decided not to call about the other myriad of issues we were having (sinks/shower not draining, filthy floors and walls, leaking fridge, etc.). The beds and pillows were the most worn and uncomfortable beds I have ever slept on. If the floor wasn't so filthy, I would have slept on the floor. The beds were concave in the middle, so no matter how you were laying you would sink. The only redeeming part of this stay was the beach and pool. But that alone does not justify the over $400 per night price tag. For over $400 a night, this resort was abysmal at best. I wouldn't stay here again if I was offered a free room. The customer service from the beginning was dismissive and rude. I understand this area was hit by the hurricane pretty badly and they are trying to rebuild, but many of the things we experienced were unacceptable. I would never recommend this "resort." There are so many better places at St. Pete. We took a chance on this place and lost. Don't make the same mistake as us. read more

Just returned from a staycation week-end at the RumFish Resort. Considering what they have been thru the past 8 months recovering from back to back hurricanes, this place is amazing! Chris at the front check in desk at the RumFish is the very BEST!! How many stars can I give him? He was not only welcoming, but exceptionally friendly & accommodating, and from the time we checked in, we knew it would be a great week-end. Thank you Tradewinds & RumFish for Chris! read more

My husband and I stayed at tradewinds grand island about 10 years ago and ended up in a room with a broke a/c. Fast forward to today and our children are the perfect age for a resort like this... We come to st. Pete beach every year and decided to try rum fish. We were really exited and my husband and I were thinking this is the perfect place to come with our kids. Sadly, soon after arriving we learned that several of the attractions that our kids were excited about are closed except on certain days. The website did not specify availability of these amenities, they were listed as though they would be available. A couple of the attractions that were available were listed as closing at 5pm in the resort app but the operators were closing them at 4pm. Then we went to go into the zip line which was open and they would not allow my daughter on in her swimsuit as they said the ride requires shorts and shoes although they had been allowing other people on without shorts and without shoes. I called the front desk and they transferred me to the adventure center who said they do not handle complaints. I had to request to be transferred to someone who could help me ... the woman I spoke with her she told me someone will call me the following day. The rooms are clean, we were indoors next to the elevator so we heard the singing throughout the night and early morning... the beds are ok but the pillows were a disappointment as they were cheap polyfil. For $300 a night I expect a comfortable nights sleep. The outside area atmosphere is great. I called and spoke with a supervisor and expressed my concerns. She took down my phone number and said someone would contact me to provide some kind of compensation and no one called. read more

My family and I recently stayed at the resort. To say that we were disappointed is a total understatement. The room we were given overlooked the parking lot which was not disclosed when booking. The room was very small and dirty upon arrival. No soap or shampoo/ conditioner in the bathroom. We waited 3 days before housekeeping showed up to service our room despite calling twice. The beach experience was no better. They charge extra for EVERYTHING!! You want a beach chair close enough to the water to see your kids that will cost you extra. There was also 1 bathroom to service the entire outdoor area. All in all we would never recommend this resort to anyone. Total waste of money. read more

I should have read the recent reviews but we booked months back. This place is totally outdated. Our room was small especially for a family of 5. It had a musty smell to it too. It is a great location on the beach and there are plenty of great restaurants we went to nearby because everything at the resort is overpriced. Coconut Charlie's right next door has better prices on drinks and food. We ordered pizza one night from a nearby restaurant rather than pay $26 for a 12 inch pizza from the Pizza Hut on site. The beach was beautiful at first but upon walking it every morning and seeing left over food and drinks really grossed me out. It's not the resorts fault that people are trashy but the garbage cans were overflowing on their section of the beach. The workers were nice and I'm sure overworked and understaffed. Zip line, water slides and paddle boards were fun but still not worth the price. We usually do airbnbs and not hotels for these reasons. I would not visit again. read more

Not sure why the outdoor bars are not completed after the hurricanes. For the amount of money they charge for rooms and the resort fee, they should be open! Disappointing! read more

I really enjoyed my stay at Rumfish Beach Resort by TradeWinds. There were beautiful views of the Gulf from the balcony of our 2 room suite. The suites were large enough to sleep 6 with 2 double beds and a pull out couch. It also had a kitchenette with a fridge, sink, and microwave. The rooms aren't the most updated but they were clean and comfortable. The only negative was the thin walls. At 7 am on Sunday, we were "fortunate" enough to hear the ENTIRE conversation of our neighbors including their extensive commentary on the current political climate of the nation and how something one of them ate gave them gas (ewww). That's too much to take in after a night of drinks and dancing :-/ There are several dining options including the Gulfside Grill. The food is average, not really any thing special, but reasonably priced. There was live music daily at the outside bar by the pool. There are two pools. There's an adult pool and a family pool. It was weird though because the bar was by the family pool and not by the adult pool. Hmmmm...Maybe not so weird. Parents need to get their drink on too!  We enjoyed a relaxing Beach day looking at the beautiful Gulf of Mexico from our beach cabana. We also enjoyed some of the amenities including the inflatable slide on the beach that was really fun. There's also a touch aquarium where you can touch different sea life. Every staff we came across were friendly, accommodating, and attentive! I would definitely stay again for a relaxing and fun stay-cation! read more

Not a very attractive place to stay. Everything had a musty smell and feel. Someone else on my trip had a utensil drawer filled with water. Not a polite staff and lacking any signage or inviting messaging. Pools looked nice, but that was it. Can't say I'd be happy to stay here again. read more

Not very impressed with this place at all. Pools were dirty and cloudy, with floating hair clumps. The only designated adult only pool was closed. The ocean view room with a balcony room had about a 2 inch deep balcony that you couldn't step out on. Only one working elevator. Very old and dingy. Also there's an additional "resort fee" every day you stay there, but every activity the offer also had additional fees. Cigarette butts in the track of the sliding glass door. Cut our 4 day stay there down to 2. read more

Tourist trap to say the very least... Accommodations are small and comfortable but rundown... Great beachfront location with plenty to stay busy with but you are nickeled and dime for everything... What really brings this place down is the lack of care and service from the employees... Every request is met with the utmost lack of enthusiasm... Like you are completely putting them out.... Several simple requests were completely ignored and not even addressed... Will not and do not reccomend this place... read more

My boyfriend and I had booked a 3 night stay here. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the hotel and our hotel room. After the first night we were so disappointed we asked to check out early and found another hotel close by to stay for the remaining 2 nights. When we inquired about checking out early due to not being satisfied they did not ask why we were unsatisfied. I am grateful they gave me a full refund for the 2 nights. read more

Don't do it!!! The location is great and that is the only thing that's beneficial of the hotel. Everything else is subpar. Everything is old outdated. The breakfast buffet do do not pay the extra money. Trust me don't do it. read more

Great resort, relaxing atmosphere great staff, lots of different pool options and hot tub options, especially knowing you can use all the amenities at their sister hotel Tradewinds Island Grande. Upon check in, we requested an ocean view, room, and booking through a third-party, didn't think that would be an option with the low rate we had. Mike, the amazing front desk guy, came through and gave us a special occasion and upgraded us to an oceanfront room!! Leaving the hotel in the elevator, we met Jackie, a super friendly hotel cleaning person, who was extremely positive, and obviously loved her job. Also, our room was extremely clean, reflecting the excellence their cleaning staff brings!! read more

No assistance with baggage (gentleman the front desk greeter told me to see for help told me he didn't know what I was talking about and walked away from me!), no Internet for entire week's stay, no cable TV for the last 3 days, no wash cloths for 5 days, no room clean for 1 day. Answers when you were persistent enough to seek them were vastly different based on who you spoke to. Promises to send someone to our room to troubleshoot Internet and cable never materialized. Run down rooms with filthy carpets and an elevator that was consistently problematic. One receptionist (Shelly) and one manager (JoLynn) did their best to provide us with an internet alternative for a critical call but were brought into the issue 2 days after I first raised the concern and we had already made other arrangements that was an additional cost for us. Extremely disappointing especially since the trip was not for pleasure but to spend time with family and attend my sister's funeral/celebration of life. Since I was extremely specific with JoLynn on the issues, my hope is that they take to heart the information provided and take measures to fix the issues quickly. In the meantime, steer clear! read more

RumFish Beach at TradeWinds - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - St. Pete Beach, Florida

See all

This place is not cheap. For the price certain expectations are a must. The rooms have to be clean and fresh. They are not. All pillows were long over due for replacing. They were flat and nasty. All Pillowcases had stains or wear marks. The kind of wear and tear that washing cannot fix. Ground in sweat and dirt. Look close. You will see it. Crumbs in the refrigerator. Smudge marks all over the glass. Crumbs on the carpet. Stains in the shower. Full bag of garbage left in the can. Lack of vacuuming behind the bed and stands. Nasty. Totally unacceptable. The place lacks proper sanitary /clean bedding. They need to immediately spend money on this. The beach was nice. The guys working on the beach that reserved your chairs were not happy to be there. The restaurant on site for breakfast was dirty and the food was bad diner food. Lipstick on the coffee mug, dirty plastic cups and extremely dirty glass windows that haven't seen windex in weeks. Unacceptable. You are charging a lot Of money for this place and luckily the ocean is selling it. But you must invest and bring it up to standard. read more

We were staying at RumFish purely because we were attending a wedding in St. Pete. I wish I'd dug into the reviews more. When we went to check in, we finished the process and had to go to a different desk where we were given bright pink wrist bands, like we were on spring break. Its a resort so that's ok I guess. But it's also a timeshare apparently and these sales people were persistent. We told the two women no less than 10 times that we were not interested and they just kept going. In what other scenario would saying no that many times mean that you should continue? Then we got to go to our room. This is absolutely a glorified motel. We took an old, rickety, very slow elevator up to the floor we were on and then had to go outside on a balcony over a parking structure (not private or anything, just to access the rooms on that side) to get to our room door. Once we were in, immediately we were disappointed (the photos were misleading at best). The room is very outdated, and the wear in the bathroom made it seem like it would never be clean. There was damage to the walls around the outlets and one of the four lights over the bed didn't work. The other three were incredibly dim. As we were going to a wedding I pulled out the iron and ironing board and afterwards, neither my husband nor I could collapse it again. So it stayed in the corner. The glass on the tabletop was uneven and rocked around as I tried to fill out the card for the happy couple (who, we hope, were staying somewhere else). There were incredibly loud noises coming from the plumbing in the bathroom too. I ended up calling the front desk about our spring break bands and asked what exactly we needed them for. Only if we were using amenities. So off those came. We went to the wedding and came back - and when the elevator came the people who came off of it were vaping so the elevator was a nice, slow, hazy ride for us. Overall, the lack of cleanliness lead to us not even wanting to shower there knowing that we were going to another hotel in Orlando the next day. The two positives were that the beds were comfy and the lady at the coffee shop in the lobby was very friendly. Also when you add in Florida taxes etc it ends up being much more expensive than you think. If you're going to St. Pete and looking for a comfortable stay - I'd say stick to the brands you know and skip RumFish. read more

The hotel itself was a little disappointing. They promised a room with a balcony, but then had none available so we had to overlook the parking lot. The staff was super friendly however, I most likely will not be going back to this hotel. read more

$316 a night. Hotel rooms stunk and where so tiny balcony is standing room only. Got there 10:30 at night everything was closed no shampoo or body wash in room. Water is extremely difficult to turn on. Pictures of hotel rooms must of been taking ten years ago. Carpets were nasty ! Take the 20 year old carpets out! Over priced go to another hotel. read more

There were some good aspects of this resort and there were some bad ones. We had adjoining rooms and the only issue was the layout. One of the rooms had another room adjoined to it and one of them didn't. Basically, one of the rooms was sort of separate from the others even though it did connect to the den. The outside of the resort looks a little run down and antiquated. The breakfast options are limited and the buffet was small and way overpriced. We also ate at one of the restaurants for dinner and it wasn't great. The food took awhile to get to our table (there was only one other table there) and the food itself wasn't great. I really enjoyed the s'mores. They have s'mores every night for a few hours around a fire pit. It depends on which staff member is in charge of this event. Some of them let you take as many as you want and some limit you. They had a few activities around the pool area such as bingo. However, the prize for kids was a free ice cream. Why not something a little more usable? Maybe a discount on a meal? The prize for adults was a free drink. In summary, I thought this place needs to be updated.
