All but the far elevators were out of service. We were at the farthest possible location away. Arriving at night being directed through limited lighting on brick courtyard my suitcase wheel caught something and caused me to trip and end up in hospital for diagnostics. If the inside elevator was in service, I would not have been in that situation. Every time we wanted to go anywhere it was a long wait for an empty elevator. I was unable to use the stairs after my fall. On top of that our door was not locking and was opening without need of the key. It was repaired (bad battery reported) and in addition a small child or baby was crying that we could clearly hear through the walls or glass on balcony. I heard many other guests complaining on the elevators also saying no one wants to come back there again. This is not the experience that a person wants or expects when paying so much.

I recently celebrated my birthday with family at the Island Grand - Tradewinds Beach Resort, and it was an incredible experience! From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was top-notch. A special shoutout to Shpresa at the front desk check-in, who truly went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. When we encountered a minor issue with our original room, she quickly upgraded us to a beautiful poolside suite that made our celebration even more memorable. The entire staff was friendly and attentive, making it a stay we'll never forget. The pool entertainment, music, and games were super fun as well. It was nice having several restaurants right next to the pool and within walking distance to choose from. Highly recommend, especially if you have young children!

We love the beach and the overall stay. The pool was small and crowded. The $55 a day fees are not really worth it. The elevators are very slow and take way too long to go up and down. The Air conditioning in my room worked one day. The first day it was 80 in my room I called and they fixed it the next day then the third day it was back to 80.

Tradewinds Island Grand was the fourth hotel/resort I've visited in St Pete beach in the past 16 months. I considered this property to be the nicest in the area (after The Don Cesar). While the location is great and the room better than expected the customer service was by far the worst I've encountered. The front desk was not very welcoming to start. Parking was packed and an employee almost hit my car flying through the crowded parking area in his gold cart. Getting keys from the Blue Green Vacation Club is always a hassle. However, they should know when to sell and when to just hand over the keys. Not only were they unfriendly but they gave us keys without adding the name of the building. We of course went to the wrong building which was under construction. The young cabana attendants seem like they hate their jobs. They took the support pole at 5:35 on Sat evening instead of 6:00 and then didn't arrive to open the cabanas on Sunday until 9:35. The service I received at the other 3 resorts I would rate and A or B and TWs was closer to a D or F.

While the rooms are a little tight for a family of 5, I found the staff and the managers very helpful to maximize our stay. They were able to propose a slightly larger room with a balcony to better fit the needs of my family. Overall, we had a great time.

The description should read ‘view of the hallway ‘ for the deluxe king room. Not even a view of the parking lot. Elevators were not working in part of the building so a constant wait to use the elevators.

The sofa bed that my children slept on is terrible, they have back pain. I asked to change the sofa and they put in two single spring beds that were worse than the ones they had. I do not recommend it if you have to use the sofa bed.

I really wanted to like this property, but it's clearly struggling with upkeep. As many of mentioned in other reviews, the interiors haven't been updated in many years and cleanliness (e.g., mold in the bathroom tiles) is an issue. I also observed significant mold on the underside of a crib sitting out in the hallway, which was alarming. Balconies are very small and not for sitting and, yes, there will be smokers out there anyway. The internet only works in certain areas of the room. Our family staying in another room had TV issues that took an engineer almost 4 hours to resolve; they finally requested another room and were settled in at 11:00 pm. We were there following Tropical Storm Debby and a number of amenities were not working including floating park and zipline (mechanical issue). Lots of added costs with ancillary things like kids' activities, drinks, and parking. The parking lot is a mess with construction equipment and materials thrown everywhere. The pools have zero shade with the exception of the Oasis Pool at RumFish (worth checking out) and only 3 rentable cabanas (sold out). Restaurants are small and also not particularly clean. I was worried about the timeshare pitch, but that was pushed minimally with one mention at check-in unless we wanted a "tour." Signs everywhere say no outside food and drinks, but folks were bringing coolers of beer since prices were so high at the bar. Staff we encountered were ALL helpful, nice, and eager to please!
