The most magical week of our lives. We loved all the pools and the water slide. We went to bush gardens for 1 day of our vacation and wished we hadn't gone because we would've had more fun if we had just stade there. I wish I live on St. Pete beach.
Everything about this resort is fabulous! I was reading all of these poor reviews and I was a little hesitant about staying here, but I'm so glad we did! I have no idea where other reviewers have stayed but I don't think it was the Island Grand. The service is wonderful and the staff remembered my name from the first day! The food was ...

Dreadful
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/17/08
Please take my advise & that of many others & don't stay at this hotel!! To call it a 4 star is an absolute disgrace. The rooms are dirty & claustrophobic & infested with cockroaches which crawl over you during the night & the staff don't care. Also be careful what you order from the menu you will only get it if the chef feels like cooking it!
This is the worst place I have ever stayed. Awful service, dirty/gross rooms, roaches, remotes don't work right, staff is no help, lots of problems with a/c, etc. This hotel needs a major upgrade to be called a resort. Only nice thing is the location.

let's see we have been there 3 times in hope it would get better. My son is attending college in the area and we were looking for a place we could stay on a regular basis. Well the first, was ok. No one greated us had to carry our own bags, we thought okmaybe everyone was busy. Room was a suite and just ok. The remotes didn't work for ...
We read the reviews for this hotel before our visit (albeit after we reserved) and went with very mixed if not low expectations. Well, we were pleasantly surprised that we had the best family vacation of our life! That's right, the best family vacation of our life! We cannot for the life of us figure out how these major negative reviews came ...

July misadventure
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/07/08
It all starts at the beginning, greeted by Valet? who's only interest was getting our bags out of the trunk and getting his tip, instead of answering questions about the logistics of getting checked in; he told us that we could "take care of him here" that the bellman would be delivering our bags. It didn't get any better. The ...

Great Location
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/16/08
This was our first trip to St.Pete Beach and we chose the TradeWinds Island Grand because of the location. It has this beautiful long stretch of white sand and the beach cabanas was really nice,included in the fee resort! The hotel is near and within walking distance to Publix supermarket and restaurants plus there are car rentals in the area. The ...
did like the dog zoned access. servicewas rude if you did not choose valet. lyed too bye reservations. will not go back. small value for big bucks. pools are way to small for all the guest.
