• Toilet ran continually. Tub did not drain. Loud noise in wall when running shower. Room not made up. $25 resort fee added.

“Rated 4 star, but really a 2 star. Tried to charge a $25 resort fee, but found out it was not mandatory, so did not pay. Jack hammers going all day in some areas of hotel.”

• Very clean complex.
• Two Queen beds overlooking parking lot when hotel had available rooms.

“We only were able to stay one night before heading off to airport - it is a beautiful resort and we wished we had more time to enjoy it. The beach was very clean and beautiful.”

• The grounds were nice and well maintained.
• The room decor and quality of bedding and furniture were below expectations.

“Tradewinds is a large hotel complex on a very nice white sand beach with activities for families. The grounds and amenities were nice, but the rooms and some of the interior spaces in the hotel are in need of redecorating and renovation. This was not a 4-star quality room - more like 3 stars. The $25 resort fee is excessive and not worth the cost.”

• The variety of activities the hotel offered. The beach! friendly staff. wow....the price I got from priceline
• Actually, I liked everything except we had a very small window that hampered our view.

“We would like to go back, but unfortunately we could not afford the regular price or prices as the season gets higher. We certainly will try Priceline.com again and hope to can get this hotel again for a price we can afford. The hotel charged $25.00 for all their activities including the cabana, which was nice. We had a great experience.”

• Lots of activities.
• Two roaches in one room switched rooms to find a wasp in the am in our new room. Need to spray for bugs!

“Hotel was impressive when we first arrived and went downhill quickly as our evening began, thank God we were only there one night. As soon as lights were turned off huge roach crawls in bed. and as we're getting ready to switch rooms another big roach climbs the curtains. We switch rooms and we slept with lights on so roaches would not come out. In all honesty I wanted to switch hotels all together. It was a major inconvenience! Had to switch rooms close to midnight with sick toddler in the midst of all this. My 7 year old daughter ran to me in the morning to wake me up to tell me about a wasp that was flying in the suite side were our toddler was sleeping. Nightmare of a stay! I would never recommend. Need to spray for bugs in rooms!”

• Room was very nice.
• $25.00 a day resort fee was ridiculous.

“Very nice hotel right on beach, resort fee should be optional.”

• Average hotel.
• Charging extra for Internet, parking, swimming pool. Hidden fees. It is not a 4 stars hotel as advertised.

“The hotel was OK, but it is not a 4 stars hotel as advertised. It may be a 3.5 stars. They charge extra for Internet, swimming pool, parking.. There are hidden fees that you find out only at check in.”

• They sent us to their worst rooms they had. This building was for guests with pets.

“They have special rooms for guests. Worst rooms ever. Rooms in this building are normally for guests traveling with pets. And you could smell it.”

• The location was outstanding.
• Didn't give us a king size room when they said we had one.

“We loved the kitchenette and the location of the hotel.”

• Activities were plentiful for all ages.
• Check in and Valet areas were crowded and traffic backed up often.

“Great place to take children and pets. The beach and pool areas were great with plenty of lounge chairs and Cabanas. A separate adult pool was a nice touch.”

• Family friendly.
• Fees for everything. Would be nice if it was just a lump sum or package deal for activities offered at resort.

“Very family friendly. Great hospitality. Great vacation spot! Pirate Show is awesome!”

• Perfect rooms and great location.

“I would love to stay longer next visit to the Boston area. Rooms were very comfortable. Got a great nights sleep.”

• Great location at the beach, interesting layout for just strolling about.
• Elevators were very slow, very hot, and too few to handle volume of guests.

“A very nice place for a family or just a couple. Nice rooms, conveniently laid out. Very friendly and responsive staff. The grounds are pleasant and interesting. It is important to note that there is a $25 additional fee added for amenities - it is money well spent especially if you have a vehicle and would have to pay for parking otherwise, but the extra expense is not pleasant as a surprise.”

• Location and variety of amenities and activities
• Restaurants and bars were open fewer hours than we liked

“Perfect vacation spot on the Gulf Coast. There is something for every member if the family. The staff is so friendly and accomodating. We will be going back and hopefully staying longer in the future.”

• Very friendly staff, Delicious food and good preparations at wedding on site.
• Had to pay additional $25/day for parking and amenities.

“Room was OK but refrigerator could not be adjusted properly and food was frozen at one time (peaches, milk). Bowls for cereal too small - had to buy some. Room small - had to move bed to open refrigerator to adjust shelf. Some doors in our building had exit sign but could not be opened as they had a metal barrier apparently to keep water out. Safety/fire violation? Food great, beach nice, pools clean. We were on 2nd floor and that floor had a very nice area with tables and chairs. I tend to wake up earlier than my husband so it allowed me to go outside and read. Perfect! Would have liked more palm trees at beach instead of hooded fabric covers. Location was very safe and good to major highways. Would recommend.”

• Beach tiki bar.
• Nickle and dime you to death.

“Additional guest fee of $25. They charged at check-in, if I had known that I would have offered less. $15 of it went for parking. We arrived at 5:15 pm and room wasn't ready as promised by 4pm. Next day we asked for late checkout and was told it was $20.00/hr. Kind of a Jip.”

• Restaurant choices.
• Very few oceanview rooms, can't see ocean from most places at resort.

“Property has a terrible layout. Most rooms do not overlook water. Only 3 very small pools for such a large resort, one is 21+. They did have a choice of restaurants which was nice. Obviously, better choices, unless you really did not come to see/play at the beach.”

• Dirty, bad smells in room & grounds, no air-conditioning in slow elevators.

“Water with the paddle boat rental was full of blue dye and looked like a tidy bowl commercial...smelled of sewage. Dirty, smelly, dark, dingy rooms. Dirty & stained walkways, carpets throughout complex. Outside showers broken so everybody was climbing into the pools with sand all over them. Pools were 90+ degrees and smelled of chlorine. Chairs around pools & beach were soiled/stained. Very disappointing stay!”
