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.

Tina at the rubbish grill was awesome! Cortez was our favorite bartender! Told us all of the stuff e we could do and made the best drinks. Mike at the front desk was so funny and happy to see us every time! The resort is fun the pool was freezing and the hot tub didn’t have bubbles. That’s ok. Still was an awesome short get away

Great resort in a perfect spot in the beach. The staff was very helpful throughout the resort and the amenities offered were exceptional. I also recommend stopping by the giant fish tank in the restaurant on site! Plenty of local spots also available on the strip there along the beach. Great resort. Will visit again.

Our visit so soon after the hurricanes exceeded our expectations. As repeat visitors we knew some amenities would be unavailable, but RumFish Beach and their employees did a wonderful job offering as much as possible considering the circumstances. Specifically Porchia and Rachel provided excellent service at the bar and Deveron helped provide endless entertainment for our family. In fact, his fun and engaging activities are what our kids look forward to at the pool each year. Our three boys love to sing along to Red Beard’s Pirate Show as well. We look forward to returning again next year when both TradeWinds properties have had more time to recover. Read less
