What Guests Are Saying

“I stayed at Rumfish Tradewinds for a week in July 2026. I was so impressed with the resort - our room and the stunning view. I ate at Gulfside Kitchen multiple times and my waitress was Mimi a few times. She is amazing - so personable, friendly, went above and beyond, and she was the absolute best. I forgot my credit card there and she tracked me down to return it, which she didn’t have to do at all. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Please give Mimi a raise - she represents your brand so well and encompasses core values. She elevated my experience by far.” — Culture56481776013, 5 stars

“Me and a gal pal popped into the bar by the pool to wait for dinner…but the women behind the bar changed our mind and we stayed even longer! If you’re looking for a place that wants to make you feel seen - this is your spot! Brittani and Kayla are fabulous people and they make a mean Margarita (skinny hold the sour mix!!!! - learned how to order my favorite drink!) You can’t call it a visit to the St.Pete Beach if you’re not including this spot!” — barbiegull, 5 stars

“Restaurant was warm and inviting. Hannah was our server and since it was so hot we just opted for several small plates. The ribs stood out here. The drinks packed a punch and I tried the pineapple dream and the mai Thai. Both were excellent, no clear winner here. The aquarium was breathtaking! Hannah made this an enjoyable experience and I recommend the Rumfish restaurant unconditionally.” — Christopher B., 5 stars
