    My wife and I wanted to relax and enjoy the sun. We had a great time enjoying the resort the beach and the hospitality.

    We have been enjoying our time at Rum Fish. The staff has done a nice job of cleaning our room making it nice to come back to after enjoying our time at the beach and spending time in St Petersburg. The staff has always been helpful and very engaging and pleasant. We come every year and love the beach and look forward to see friendly faces of your beach staff. I would like to give s special thanks to David C he goes out of his way to make sure everyone is taken care of. He certainly deals with a lot of crazy request but tries to meet all the request he can. Great guy look forward to seeing David next year people like him our reasons we come back.

    No hot water

    There are a lot of issues to be aware of: 1). No one answers when you call from your room to the front desk….ever 2) the hot water stopped working. When we told maintenance they said “we she to restart the boiler.” That was over 24 hours ago. No response. 3). Tried to call the Front desk after 12 hrs. (It’s now 2:04am the next day). They didn’t answer. 4). They sent a guy who ran water and confirmed that no hot water came out. 5). Told me because I booked via Expedia he couldn’t do anything and we would have to deal with it. I guess you shouldn’t book with Expedia if you want hot water.
