Tradewinds Sandpiper, St Petersburg

Like on the beach, clean beach and beautiful sunsets Like food good. LIke allows pets. Dislke staff unfriendly, no planned activities for adults, roaches in room. Dislike a lot of fees

This hotel is in a great location on St. Pete Beach. There are 2 pools (1 for children and 1 for adults). There is a small beach bar between a pool and the beach. The front desk people were very nice, helping suggest some restaurants in the area for dinner. Very clean property, and kid friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to go to St. Pete Beach.

This resort is the best we have found! For the $ you cant beat what you get. The rooms are spacious, clean and make you feel like your at the beach! The staff is exceptional and they are always looking to help or just say hello. We stayed in June and cant wait to go back!

Very nice place, great for families, close to the beach! The one thing that was not so great was the noise at night. Had to call front desk to complain. There was alot of noise from the bars and the drunk people yelling running around outside. After a day of activities you need sleep. Might look for hotel without so much noise next time.

Amazing view, amazing prices, and amazing beach. I loved everything about this hotel and i will be back.

We booked and confirmed 4 rooms for our children's families and ourselves this Easter. Only half of our confirmations were honored. The 2 rooms we had for confired for Thursday evening were not available for our group until the following day. Our son's family and daughter's family had to spend that night in another hotel. The hotel staff was understanding of our MAJOR dissapointment and did compensate us for this. Unfortunately our rooms were not together as we were told they would be when making the reservation. The thing that made this worse was that the room next to us had a large group of people that made a lot of noise until 2:30 both Friday and Satuday evenings. This kept made it very hard for us and our daughter's family, that was close to our room, to sleep. The soundproofing in the rooms is not very effective! The grounds are beautiful and well kept. The staff works hard to keep them that way.

we loved the hotel .rooms very clean fantastic location my boys thought the beach was fab and dolphin spotting great too .staff friendly and we were given a room upgrade as mum was hospitalised during her stay in orlando. we are hoping to come back soon but in the meantime our friends are staying at moment and sisterinlaw staying october hope they think its as brill as we do .keep up the good work

The resort itself was beautiful and clean enough. Our issue was with the noise factor and the 2 beach bars right next door. They played music from 2p through 1a. It was like trying to sleep in a college dorm. There was constant drumming, base notes and screaming. There were also times on the beach where I could not hear the water due to the live music. It was not at all tranquil, as advertised. If you go, make sure your room is on the Tradewinds side of the resort, the noise didn't seem to be as much of a factor on that side. Management acknowledged the noise issue and state they get constant complaints about. It was not all worth the small fortune we paid to be there. Also, with $25/day resort ammenities fee, I thought they had gall to charge me $2 to print our boarding passes for our return trip home. Talk about nickel and diming.

I stayed at the Sandpiper with my mom and sister for spring break and absolutely loved it!!! The staff was very helpful && the chocolate slushies from the poolside bars are absolutely amazing!!! It was nice having a separate pool for kids and adults, even though I'm still a teenager myself. The hotel did a great job of keeping little kids out of the hottub and even questioned my sister and I as to whether we were 18. We weren't but of course we still said we were considering we're 16 and 17 years old. I would advise that you get in line at the cabana booking table at least 10 minutes before it opens in order to pick a front row cabana because they offer a much nicer view. They even have 3 internet-connected computers to use in the main lobby. Staff was very knowledgable and helpful. Sandpiper also had great activities and restaurants nearby to check out. The coffee bar Perks Up is way overpriced for such average coffee and muffins. Another thing that was bad was that the maids took forever to get around to cleaning all the rooms. They moved slowly, but at least the hotel was clean. Also, two pair of my mom's sunglasses "mysteriously" came up missing from our hotel room during one of the first few days we were there. Some friends of ours stayed at Island Grand that same week and I was so grateful that we chose to stay at Sandpiper instead. Island Grand is more expensive, has cramped rooms, and is just overall crowded. It also has way too many kids running around to be able to relax. I see no point in staying at Island Grand when you can have a better experience staying at Sandpiper and still be able to use all of the Island Grand amenities.

Our room was awesome! The view was breathtaking ( 6th floor--beach view) the place was immaculate! It was quiet, beautifully decorated,affordable,comfortable and met every need we could have and beyond. The staff was friendly and helpul,the beach was gorgeous, and we had access to the Island Grand facilities! It was a bit too "busy" over at the other Tradewind, so we enjoyed the ammenities during a portion of the day, but chose the peaceful evenings and days at the Sandpiper. We will be back, again and again.All thumbs up here from my daughters and myself!Even though we live in FL, we still need a little get-away. We have found it in the Sandpiper!
