About RumFish Beach at TradeWinds
RumFish Beach at TradeWinds is a coastal resort on the sea in St. Pete Beach, with 352 rooms and villas ranging from Double Rooms with Balcony to Beach Front Villas that sleep up to six.
Outdoor ceremonies are held on the Gulf, with an indoor meeting and banquet space available as a weather backup, so both indoor and outdoor celebrations work here.
Catering is handled in-house (external caterers are not permitted) and special dietary needs can be accommodated.
Parking is available and the property is accessible; we estimate around 35 minutes by road from Tampa International Airport (TPA), with a relaxed, modern feel and costs we estimate at roughly 110 to 225 USD per head.

Spent 10 days at the RumFish with my son and had an amazing experience! It was our first stay at this hotel, however we have stayed at The TradeWinds Island Grand in the past as well as other ocenfront hotels along St Pete Beach.
