We really enjoyed our vacation at Tradewinds. The rooms were definitely outdated as was the resort itself, the staff was absolutely awesome, the towel system was awesome, the pools are old but do the trick. The beach was the star … absolutely perfect place right on St. Pete’s beach. All in all a great trip!

We booked 6 weeks before spring break so we did have an interior room with 2 queens, usually we prefer a suite and/or balcony. Other than that it was great for kids activities our favorites were pickleball, large size Chess, the animal show and the beautiful beach and sand bar!!

For the area, the resort has a lot to do which is great for kids. I think their restaurant selection could be better and I think they definitely need options for brunch choices. I think their rates are a bit high.

While the rooms were a little small (2 queen with balcony) they were clean & and the resort had so many amenities that we forgot about the smallish room. We had a resort view but could still see the ocean. We loved that there are so many activities the kids can participate in. We’ll definitely be back!
