RumFish Beach at TradeWinds
The rooms were tired. It seems like a great family resort with a ton of kids. The water in the room is nasty. I think it’s the whole town though. The staff was great and the pools are abundant. They have 1 adult pool. There is a burger bar across the street that has great seafood ironically.

Hotel Tampa Riverwalk
Room did not feel clean. Floor dirty. Room felt run down. Bartender at main bar was so not helpful or welcoming. Couldn’t make any drinks because “the bar was closing permanently a couple days later”. Great location is the best I can say!

SkyBeach Resort
When I pulled up I thought it looked like a standard type Florida motel but……. I was wrong. Once you enter the back of the resort you will be totally surprised with 2 really nice pools, jacuzzi, very clean beach scene, beach restaurant , gourmet restaurant and bar and a really nice coffee shop.
