    Many amenities but needs improvement in multiple areas

    Clean room, comfortable beds and a great view. Since the sister resort is nearby, guests have access to amenities at both resorts. This was a nice perk. There are places to eat, drink and shop at both resorts, as well as about 6 pools between them. Lots to see and do, great places to eat and drink. The campfire smores are a great treat, the kids love it. All the staff except in the sports bar were very friendly, prompt and courteous. Free parking for resort guests and free beach cabanas! However our room was right next to the elevator and noisy. The room decor is dated, and the bathroom door was in need of repair. Nice balcony view of beach, ice machine nearby. What we were not expecting is that the entire resort only takes cards, no cash accepted anywhere (except as a tip.) In addition, most unexpected is the large hold put on credit card which was the entire cost of our reservation plus $200 a DAY (even though a deposit had already been paid.) We never charged anything to the room, and ended up with a hold on my account for almost double the balance remaining to be paid on my reservation. This was not explained and we were not made aware at neither check in nor check out. Shame on you.

    Great beach, great food, great people!

    Had a great time at Rumfish Resort. Food was good, accommodations were clean and comfortable. Will definitely be back next year. Loved the Gulfside Grill. Food was awesome and waitstaff was exceptional. Hope, Ariana and Raegan were exceptionally nice. Victor was also a joy to meet. Hope to see them again next year. Only complaints were very spotty WiFi causing us to have to constantly use our hotspot for internet and there was no phone in the room. Had no way to easily communicate with the front desk unless we physically went down there.

    Jonel at TradeWinds

    Jonel was the best. He was great with the kids and he had amazing energy. We will definitely come back to TradeWinds and Jonel is a big reason why. The red beard pirate was just as amazing. He was also great with the kids and you can tell he enjoyed his job.

    SHIFTY Manager, Unprofessional Hotel

    DO NOT choose this hotel! They are liars and do not care about their patrons. Our toilet broke and we had to live with those horrid conditions for a day, and no offer of a new room either. The manager told us we were comped for everything at check out. It was initially on my bank statement. Come to find out she lied and then only a small portion was taken off!!! She gave us her number to get a discount next stay. I even called and left her a message about the discrepancy and she never even returned the call!! Worst stay of our lives due to poor service and a lying manager.
