We stayed at the Island Grand for 5 nights and enjoyed it thoroughly! We had a room with a balcony (albeit a pretty small one & not private) facing the gulf. Our view was lovely and our room was very pretty, clean & all things were in working order. The room has a safe, too, which is a very nice... more

I attended a four day professional conference held at the Tradewinds Conference Center and Resort. The conference seminars were intense, and sometimes grueling. However, the amenities at the resort, the attentiveness of the staff, the excellent food, and the nearby ocean renewed our energy after each day of hard work. I left feeling as though I had learned a lot... more

We made reservations for a 2-bedroom suite but what we actually got was a one-bedroom suite with a connecting standard hotel room. Now that is NOT a 2-bedroom suite! They should be clear about what they call a 2-bedroom suite. We got in at midnight and were all exhausted so we just didn't quibble about the rooms we got. more

My husband and I recently returned from the TradeWinds Island Grand Beach Resort and were extremely pleased with our stay. We booked this hotel through one of the discount travel websites, but were not treated like a discounted traveller. The property was large and included multiple pools for kids/families/adults only. It also included tennis courts, multiple watering holes and restaurants,... more

The room type that we reserved directly through the hotel was not available at time of check-in and we were down graded to a different room. Staff did give us a discounted rate, but it was... more

It was a wonderful stay. The Island Grand is great. The staff is great. The food is great. The children had a great time. We will go back again. What better review is there? more

I just returned from a stay at the TW Island Grand and am stunned that this place recieved a AAA four diamond award. Mildewy, dirty rugs, unclean floors (free toenails in our room!) and significant drainage probelms in public spaces. Nothing upscale about it. I thought AAA reserved this for the best of the best but apparently not Then I... more

Decent hotel with lots to do for families, but don't expect anything less than a crowd of teens everywhere you go. This is not the place for peace and quiet. Location was great but our room had a moldy smell to it. Probably would not stay again. Beware the resort fee that they tack on when you get there (it... more
