The hotel

Laid-back vibes? Check. Powdery-white sands? Check. Fun for all the family? Check. Set on the beachfront, the RumFish Beach Resort is an epic place to enjoy St Pete’s beauty, recharge your batteries, and have the time of your life. You’ll love the cool beach lounge, complete with VIP cabanas, live entertainment, and a fire pit (get your s’mores at the ready!). There’s a whole load of fun and games at the sister hotel too, so you’ll be spoilt for choice with how to spend your days and evenings. And talking of evenings, head to one of the restaurants or bars and watch the sun go down over the rippling ocean.

Enjoyed everything about RumFish Resort, a very relaxed style with lots of freedom. The staff was particularly friendly and welcoming throughout. Jonel managed the S’mores line well as kids turned out every night for more. Lots of fun. Highly recommend!

Jonel was one of the hardest working people I’ve ever seen at a resort. He ran the s’mores activity two night in a row that we made it to and was super friendly and helpful. The evening boat tour to Shell Key was one of the best excursions we’ve ever been on and Capt Frank and Bella were also amazing hosts.

The beach service was amazing. David C went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed while relaxing on the beach.
