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.

1st the good, the staff is great, the grounds are kept up nice and amenities are very good. It has a great beach with plenty of chairs. The beds were comfortable and housekeeping was good. The location is good and there are several places to eat you can walk to. The not so good- This place is old built in the early 70s and the rooms are past due for a major renovation. Our bath door was striking the frame and hard to close, they did make it some better on the 2nd try 3 day later. We put a towel on the floor at night at the front door because it had a large gap at the bottom and the wind whistled thru it. The sofa and chair were old and uncomfortable. The TVs are old also no smart tv or even a channel guide, the ice machines were broken on the 5th and 6th floor. They said they were waiting on parts, and they would they be fixed in a couple of days but reading other reviews and talking to staff they have not worked in a while. One of the 4 very old and small elevators kept breaking down. The pools are ok but again old, some tiles were falling off the one we used. The pool drinks are about normal hotel prices $15 for a frozen drink which would be ok if they were not so small. I hope they renovate the place because we did like the beach and location. Read less
