“Enjoyed every minute” June 5, 2011 - Atlanta, Georgia


We picked this place for the previous reviews for peace and quiet, amenities;pool, access to beach, dock, and close restaurants. And it lived up to its reviews and more. We liked the cottages with the flowers handing over the porches, the access to umbrellas and chairs for the beach. Oh the beach was clean and beautiful with plenty of room for everyone. At night the place was quiet so you could sit out on the porches and enjoy your beverage of choice. The grounds were well maintained and the people there were very personable and helpful. Also thinking of having the whole gamily join us for a small family get togther there. Lots of things to do for all ages. Over all we highly recommend this place and will return in the future soon.

Paradise on Earth

“Paradise in Earth” May 1, 2011 - Potomac Falls, Virginia


My family and I had a spectacular time there. We were able to enjoy the gorgeous beach, while staying at a simply amazing place. We are so glad to have chosen Tradewinds Resort. They definitely delivered a 360 degree hospitality and comfort experience with a wonderful staff, and great accommodation. There is no doubt we will definitely be back. The whole experience made us leave already wanting to go back. We came home wishing we could have made that place our home. It definitely is a paradise in Earth.

“Wonderful” June 26, 2010 - Bowling Green, Florida

My sister-in-law went for a overnight getaway to the beach. I found Tradewinds Resort while looking for places in Bradenton Beach. What first drew me to Tradewinds were the pictures of the cottages. They were all beachy colors, like key lime, mango, pineapple and sea blue. I just thought they were so cute. Tradewinds was also one of the few in the area that did not have a 3 night minimum stay. They allowed us to come early and enjoy their beach amenities and we were allowed to check in early as our rooms were clean. The room was very clean and so cute. Tradewinds was actually prettier than the pictures on their website. The staff from check in to check out were very helpful and just all around nice people. I would recommend Tradewinds to all my friends and am looking forward to my next visit. Linda Reeves

"Great tropical getaway for families or couples"

December 17th, 2009 West Coast Florida TripAdviser.com

Tradewinds has landscaped their "little village" beautifully. The pool area was very well maintained and our cottage was neat and clean. The complex is family frendly and very tropical. Tradewinds location to downtown makes access to shops and restaurants easy. The island trolley stopsacross the street. The beach is awesome.

 I love Tradewinds Resort! I stayed there for 5 days in September, on a solo getaway, and loved it so much that my husband and I went back in October! The units are well appointed and immaculate, the landscaping is beautiful and well maintained, the pool is perfect, and we loved going out on the pier and drinking our coffee in the morning and catching glimpses of the dolphins. I can't say enough about Tradewinds, except we will definitely be going back as soon as we can!
