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.

The service team were outstanding especially Carolyn, Jay, David, Florence. They suggested restaurants for us to go too for our 40th anniversary June 8 Carolyn was SPOT ON. All of them were very kind and helpful to us. Please reward them generously, you don’t get this kind of customer service from people now days. Sincerely Carly n Gary B. #6803

We actually stayed at Island Grand but visit RumFish multiple times. The experience that stuck out to me was in the gift shop with Ashley G. Ashley was so beyond kind. She overheard us talking about how to store our shells we collected for the flight home, and she happily gave us some tips and tricks for safe travel with our gifts and the shells- even offering us some cellophane bags to store the shells in. So thankful to have met Ashley and the experience with her was phenomenal. Thanks, Ashley G!

Traveled with a group of moms and sons - and the resort was perfect for our needs. The beach was awesome! We loved hanging out at the Sandbox. And our beach attendant, Carolyn, was fabulous! So friendly and engaging! Our room was clean and the bed was so comfy.
Poor Quality Resort. More motel than resort.

Majority of staff are hardworking, courteous, and helpful. Management was slow and reluctant to handle a major problem I had. I would advise others to try the main TW Island Grand location or another…
