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.

Mark at Gulfside Kitchen was amazing. Cuban and salad with shrimp fabulous! It was a great atmosphere to cool down yet see the beautiful beach.

Our 4th visit to Tradewinds properties and it is always pleasant. All personnel were helpful with a special thanks to Mariah at the front desk who was courteous, informative and helpful.

Our 4th visit to Tradewinds properties and it is always pleasant. All personnel were helpful with a special thanks to Mariah at the front desk who was courteous, informative and helpful. RumFish is lucky to have her. Also, a shoutout of appreciation to Rich, who drove us around in the golf cart. The only issue was our elevator in the Mahi building was constantly problematic in that it worked sometimes during our first 2 days and totally out of order on day 3. Read less

Clean room, comfortable beds and a great view. Since the sister resort is nearby, guests have access to amenities at both resorts. This was a nice perk. There are places to eat, drink and shop at both resorts, as well as about 6 pools between them. Lots to see and do, great places to eat and drink. The campfire smores are a great treat, the kids… Read more
Clean room, comfortable beds and a great view. Since the sister resort is nearby, guests have access to amenities at both resorts. This was a nice perk. There are places to eat, drink and shop at both resorts, as well as about 6 pools between them. Lots to see and do, great places to eat and drink. The campfire smores are a great treat, the kids love it. All the staff except in the sports bar were very friendly, prompt and courteous. Free parking for resort guests and free beach cabanas! However our room was right next to the elevator and noisy. The room decor is dated, and the bathroom door was in need of repair. Nice balcony view of beach, ice machine nearby. What we were not expecting is that the entire resort only takes cards, no cash accepted anywhere (except as a tip.) In addition, most unexpected is the large hold put on credit card which was the entire cost of our reservation plus $200 a DAY (even though a deposit had already been paid.) We never charged anything to the room, and ended up with a hold on my account for almost double the balance remaining to be paid on my reservation. This was not explained and we were not made aware at neither check in nor check out. Shame on you. Read less

Had a great time at Rumfish Resort. Food was good, accommodations were clean and comfortable. Will definitely be back next year. Loved the Gulfside Grill. Food was awesome and waitstaff was exceptional. Hope, Ariana and Raegan were exceptionally nice. Victor was also a joy to meet. Hope to see them again next year. Only complaints were very spotty WiFi causing us to have to constantly use our hotspot for internet and there was no phone in the room. Had no way to easily communicate with the front desk unless we physically went down there. Read less
