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.

We had an amazing time at Tradewinds! The employees made the experience memorable. Carolyn at the beach hut always has a smile on her face and was so sweet with my two little girls. She even gave my daughter a gift and just went out of her way to make sure we were having the best time possible. She went above and beyond! Jolen at the marshmallow stand every night was always a pleasure. Singing songs and making sure the kids are having a great time. He always gave my daughter extra marshmallows. Tina at the Gulfside kitchen was an extraordinary server. She was great to talk to and loved serving our babies. Damon at the pool for entertainment always made sure everyone was having fun and the kids all love him! My 3 yr old had a lot of fun teasing with him and loved playing the games at the pool. Madii at the creative station is so sweet and helps the kids a lot with their crafts. She is a very sweet girl! Jonathan, the manager at front desk is great and made sure our stay was great and accommodated all of our needs as we extended our stay. He went above and beyond for us! All of the staff is truly great! We also did the photos with Matt and he is great with the kids and very easy to work with! We had a great time and it’s a excellent place for families! Read less

This past weekend has been nothing but pleasant, thanks to the lovely service staff they have. Ashton was on it- our drinks were never empty. Many onsite activities for our kiddos. Cute shops around nearby. Will recommend for other families as well 😊

Had a great stay at this beautiful hotel!! Mariah at the front desk was so kind and helpful while checking us in. Didn’t spend much time in the room but the beach access and pools were amazing. We ate lunch at the gulf side grill and Ashton gave us great service!! The grouper sandwich was delicious.

Great service by Ashton at lunch by pool. More reggae music at pool preferred. Pools were great. Don't order Miami vice. Too much syrup and not actual strawberry daiquiri. Room felt damp. Mariah at front desk was very kind and welcoming!!!!!
