Hotels in Harbor Bluffs

"Overall, the experience here was fair/okay. A few things I was not pleased with was: 1) toilet running, I had to keep lifting valve in tank to shut it off, did bring to hotel attention, sent someone to check it out 2) Cable sucked, very limited channels, no movie channel, one channel had no sound. 3) Wanted to lay out by pool, but only 2 lounge chairs and both were occupied. Told mgmnt, said they would look into it. 4) Had asked for 2 towels 2nd day, never got them. Management and front desk were receptive and pleasant. Room was okay, clean, no other issues. Breakfast was nice but instead of waffles I think they should do pancakes. "

"This is a high-volume hotel that feels “tired” and overdue for renovation, aside from a few areas like the conference section. The hallways are dim, carpeting is worn, elevator buttons don’t light up, etc. Despite charging a $35 resort fee, if you want to actually "beach it" for a few hours, a beach chair comes with a $29 rental fee. In our room, the outlets were loose and unreliable for charging, and the toilet continued running for a couple of minutes after flushing. There was no hair dryer (we did get one), and the bathroom didn’t feel particularly clean, with a stained vanity. It's overpriced and dated. On the positive side, the gym is bright and well-equipped, though it needs better ventilation —it was uncomfortably hot. The staff, however, were friendly and professional. I'm not a Starbucks fan so I was delighted there was a Dunkin directly across the street that opened at 5:30 am."

"If you’re looking for the perfect mix of relaxation and fun, TradeWinds Island Resorts truly delivers. The beachfront location alone is worth it—soft white sand, breathtaking sunsets, and easy access to the water make every day feel like a dream getaway. What really sets this resort apart is the atmosphere. It’s incredibly family-friendly with endless activities, from water sports to poolside fun, yet still relaxing enough for adults to unwind. There’s always something to do, but it never feels overwhelming. The staff is welcoming and helpful, adding to the overall positive experience. The amenities are a huge plus—multiple pools, on-site dining, and plenty of entertainment options right at your fingertips. It’s the kind of place where you can stay on property the entire time and never get bored. While some areas of the rooms could use a bit of updating, everything was clean and comfortable, and honestly, you’ll spend most of your time enjoying the beach anyway. Overall, TradeWinds is a great choice for a fun, memorable beach vacation. Whether you’re traveling with family or just looking to relax by the ocean, it’s a place you’ll want to come back to."
