We had our wedding at Tradewinds this October. The wedding team is excellent and very professional. They know what they are doing and do it with such grace. Their customer service is phenomenal: they went above and beyond to make our big day run smoothly. In addition, the food is great: our guests kept raving about it. Would highly recommend for a beach wedding in Tampa Bay.
Beautiful view, decent food, nice rooms. A couple little things I might change here and there, but honestly, over all, a wonderful spot to stay. They think of a lot of things most hotels don't. They even jumped my car when the battery died in their parking lot. Would rate 4.5 stars if they'd let me.
Our favorite place on the beach. Great for kids as well as adults. Look up their famous giant beach slide. Cabanas provided, restaurants. We stay for days with no need to leave. Anything we want is on the premises or a beach walk away. We keep going back. It's such an easy vacation, no worries.
This weekend stay was a splurge for a weekend getaway with wife. It is a 5 star hotel due to amenities however very tourist and crowded. The rooms were clean but everything so overpriced. For the lack if time we spent in the rooms we overpaid. It was a nice motel nice pool
Unbelievable service from the entire staff, from the front desk to the cabana tenders and servers to the maintenance and cleaning folks. Everyone is very nice, friendly and helpful. Beautiful facilities (we only visited half the pools) and delicious food options. We visited the Flying Bridge repeatedly, there were plenty of options for wonderful seafood. The room was remarkably clean, up-to-date and well-maintained. I can't wait to get back down here.
Wonderful family/business travel resort with numerous eateries on property and @sister property nearby, Guy Harvey's Trading Post. Multiple pools, beach & free cabanas & giant water slide to guests. Efficient, hard working staff, including Server Tania D.
Like everything except:
As a BlueGreen owner, we only have access to specific rooms, which do not have balconies, cooking ability, washer/dryer and limited room size, efficiency, as opposed to bedrooms. These are seriously needed for families. Lacking hooks, balcony, etc.. for drying space for wet beach clothes. Would like to see these changes. Thank you.
I had an excellent stay at this beautiful resort and just an all around great time. I booked it last minute for the end of Valentine's day weekend. Got 2 nights in a suite in the Breckenridge building with a gorgeous view of the Gulf and great weather. We live local, but it's so nice to have a little beach get-away. We hung out at the pool and the beach all weekend. Ate at most of the restaurants and didn't need to use cash because all we had to carry was our room key. Service was exceptional. The Front desk check in was easy and quick and nice. We took the paddle boats through out the property and walked and checked everything out our first day. Had drinks at the Tiki Hut and they had a great guy playing guitar and singing. Went to the Deli and at on the beach. Had an espresso at the lobby bar. The whole resort was well maintained and all the staff was friendly. They have everything you could ask for on site, plus another resort 3 places down the beach, the Guy Harvey Resort. Couldn't ask for a better weekend, view from our balcony, and all around service. Highly recommend to locals or people on vacation.
We have been going there for over 20 years so that must say something. It's a beautiful place in a beautiful location. We have had a few problems here and there but that is to be expected over a 20 year period. Staff has always been friendly and I think they do it pretty good job. Now, why am I giving it 4 stars instead of 5? Well I think management is outdated and they need to get some new people in they're running the place. Airheads is the only way I can describe them. I think they have been there too long and have become too comfortable in their positions and have lost sight of the customer's point of view. Over the past few years I have seen more riff raff staying there as well which has not been a problem up to this point but I did notice this last year they actually had armed sheriff's patrolling the grounds which was new to us. I think you will enjoy your stay there but by no means is up to par for a 5 star hotel.
The staff here always put the guests first. The service is impeccable and the facilities are well maintained. There's plenty of extras that come with your reservation, so it's more than just a bed and a bathroom. A continental breakfast would be nice, but it's still a 5 star resort.
WOW!!!!! The rating should be 6 stars!! What a great vacation at the Tradewinds Island Resort. I came with my 3 kids (ages 16, 14 & 11) for Memorial Day Weekend. I couldn't possible had a more positive experience at this resort. My superior rating starts and ends with the amazing people who work and run the resort!! Every single encounter with staff members at the resort was positive and everyone went well out of their way to make sure all of our needs were met! Upon check-in, we were ungraded from a regular room to a suite. The room was beautiful and spacious and had a full kitchen. Our stay at the resort was awesome and my kids had a great time with all of the activities that are really tailored towards entertaining the kids. The entire staff and management should be highly commended for their genuine desire for guests to thoroughly enjoy their stay!!! Bravo!!!!!!!
Huge. Really huge. Had dinner with some very nice people. Great place. But we're gonna make it greater. Andrew Jackson once said he wouldn't trade wind for anything and after staying in the Frederick Douglas suite neither would I. 12 restaurants including beef o Brady's, pizza hut, and an ice cream shop. Mini Starbucks. 4 pools. Hot tubs. Only resort on any of the beaches to have conference halls. Paddleboat river. Pirate show. Bouncy jump thing. Really bouncy. Melanie loved it. All in all. Texas was great!!
The rooms are nice and have a kitchenette, nice beach, personal cabana included in room stay for the beach each day, food at one restaurant too expensive for what we got, front desk staff friendly and helpful, ancillary staff quite active but not super friendly with guests, need better pillows and blankets 3/5 star, mattress 3/5 star. Lots of things to do at the resort. We could only find one small hot tub, several medium sized pools, hammocks for lounging outside near beach, several beach activity services provided by resort at beachfront. Many places to eat and bars to relax at near the resort within walking distance. Feels safe on and around the resort. Kid friendly but good for adult only groups too. Overall, great resort.
It's a great resort with lots to do and exceptional service. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. The decor is newer, despite the building we were in being an older design. We had great water pressure, and seemed to have hot water on demand at all times. The restaurants on site seem a bit expensive, but so do the ones in the immediate area around it, so if you want a cheap meal, expect to drive off island, or to a fast food joint. The beach front was exceptionally clean with lots of planned activities during the day. Overall a great experience.
