Our room was dark and tiny with only a 12 inch window looking at the courtyard. Not the beach view in the picture. It was not particularly clean. I would have paid more for a better room if I had known. I was initially taken aback by the rough and rusty corridors on first floor, but had forgotten the hurricanes. Given that, their progress is admirable. Hated that we were not allowed to use a luggage cart ourselves. That necessitated a tip to the mandatory bellman, but we only had very large bills and the resort is cashless, so we had to drive somewhere to get tip money. Not great after a long drive. Beach and cabanas were great and very accessible. Great entertainment and lots of options. Room was far less than what we are used to, but they are working hard to bring back the rest of the resort. All staff were welcoming and gracious.

I’d like to start with what we loved; the free shuttle was nice and we got to explore downtown pier. We enjoyed RumFish Grill, great service and good food. We also appreciated an early check in. Our tropical view actually gave us a somewhat view to the water and sunset sky. The rest was average to poor. Check in was a little longer than I am used to, with about 20 min stand in line waiting while there was a long line and only 2 workers. The room was dirty, dirty tissue on chair, dirty mirror, dusty furniture… Most of what is shown in advertisement is closed and not operating like the floating games in water, bars, restaurants. The grounds are not monitored and they let kids do whatever they want, it was very annoying having 5 kids in a hot tub jumping around, blowing their nose and splashing. When we finally made it smores night there were no more smores, as they just let people(kids) grab what they want and they do not replenish. Towels were hit or miss, one point we had to wait for over 45 mins for clean beach towels in the AM. Also asked for extra towels for my room and they arrived over 8 hours later with many calls in between. Breakfast buffet was average and the service was poor. We had to ask for service after waiting a while, finally the waitress that kept walking past us took our drink order, and at bill charged us for the drinks (shouldn’t have as it was included for buffet) in between that, did not get our plates to clear our table, more was not offered……

Not worth the money. There are other properties in the area in much better shape than this one for minimal additional cost. The service was fine but the property is run down.

Room was super small for a suite. Lock on the door was broke and the door itself didn’t shut all the way. The bedding had random burns and holes in it. The floors were full of stains and there was a dirty towel hanging on the shower curtain rod when we checked in. The room also had a foul odor. The resort as far as amenities was great. The pool, beach and activities were great. However, I’m not sure i could ever stay in the rooms again.

First night was a little rough, staff fixed the issue and moved us which was great. The room they moved us to was much nicer than the original room plus fit our family much better. We did buy some of the options that we didn’t get but again staff made up for that after the fact. Not sure I would return wasn’t a fan of the area but hotel for just being open for just over a month, I would say they have recovered awesome.

Family Thanksgiving get together from different states. The kids (5,6,7&8) had a great time on the giant water slide. Paddle boards, paddle boats and feeding the ducks were fun. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We were lucky they opened back up days before we got there. A lot of work being done after the two hurricanes. We had a wonderful time and will return.

Extremely Disappointed, would not recommend
Planned family 2 room stay at Island Grand at Tradewinds. Despite the lobby seeming relatively nice we were shocked at the incredibly poor condition of the property. Clearly they had not recovered from recent hurricanes, and several of the restaurants were closed. The overall poor condition cannot be completely blamed on the hurricanes as it was clear the property had not been well maintained for some time. It looked nothing like the pictures and the rooms themselves were not clean, in disrepair and felt more like a cheap motel. We spent a short time at the property and knew we couldn't stay the night and left. The only positive I will give is that the refunded most of our stay (not the resort fee or the parking).
