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.

The guys at the Sandbar; Patrick, Portia, Ali, Josh, Edward and Cortez were simply amazing. These guys made our trip. They made sure our children were happy which made sure we were happy too. Fantastic experience over the 4th July weekend at St Pete’s beach.

Hi! We just got back and enjoyed our trip so much at RumFish Beach at Tradewinds. The room, the customer service, the resort, the pools all great! We are definitely going back here soon. I did want to mention Porchia and Danny, the best bartenders and so nice and fun. Can’t wait to visit them again on our trip coming up!

We were fortunate to get into the Cigar rolling class with Angela and Kaden. It was a great experience that I would highly recommend for visitors in the area. Angela and Kaden were very knowledgeable, professional and organized/prepared. Course length was @ 1 hour and well worth the nominal cost and time..if you are in the area, don’t pass up… Read more

Course length was @ 1 hour and well worth the nominal cost and time..if you are in the area, don’t pass up the opportunity to attend this course. There’s not another course in the area that I’m aware of..great insight into what visitors are looking for by Tradewinds! Read less

Patrick and Porchia at the bar were great, professional, and had good energy. Apparently my review isn't long enough. So, tell you what. Next kids I have, I want them to be godparents. We can come back down here , and have the baptism at the jacuzzi. I hope that's a thing you all are ok with, here! Trump 2024, baby!.

Soooo somehow we didn’t get ocean front. ☹️. The room where the beds are too small. Only one nightstand and too few outlets. We needed to charge three phones and plug in a cpap. The beds are so close to the wall you have to scoot to the bottom of the bed to get out if your on the inside. I couldn’t keep a water bottle, my book or my phone near… Read more
Soooo somehow we didn’t get ocean front. ☹️. The room where the beds are too small. Only one nightstand and too few outlets. We needed to charge three phones and plug in a cpap. The beds are so close to the wall you have to scoot to the bottom of the bed to get out if your on the inside. I couldn’t keep a water bottle, my book or my phone near me as I was on the inside. Water pressure is very poor. I love that they had a bathtub but it would have taken an hour or more to have gotten enough in it! Same with sinks and toilet. Also no kitchen towels or paper towels. One roll of toilet paper. We did find friendly staff that caught us up. Nice sitting area. Large and comfy furniture. Ice machines all work. Nice water machines (hot and cold) in some floors.
