The hotel

Laid-back vibes? Check. Powdery-white sands? Check. Fun for all the family? Check. Set on the beachfront, the RumFish Beach Resort is an epic place to enjoy St Pete’s beauty, recharge your batteries, and have the time of your life. You’ll love the cool beach lounge, complete with VIP cabanas, live entertainment, and a fire pit (get your s’mores at the ready!). There’s a whole load of fun and games at the sister hotel too, so you’ll be spoilt for choice with how to spend your days and evenings. And talking of evenings, head to one of the restaurants or bars and watch the sun go down over the rippling ocean.

The staff are very nice! Customer service is excellent! Brittini @GSK is an awesome waitress! I will definitely visit again! The weather was a little cold, but the staff made it so much better. Nice clean room with a great view. Room 5833 has a great water view.

Our visits to the RumFish sand bar were so fun! Cortez made our entire group feel so special! His personality was so fun and his drinks were exceptional! The best bartender I have ever had in all my years!! Do not visit the area without stopping to see him.

Stayed here 8-13 Jan in a PRE paid rate booked via a third party website. When I checked out I was given an invoice for $310 for resort fees and tax which I was expecting. My credit card was on file which duly covered this fee. When I returned back to the UK I checked my credit card account. Not only had I been billed $310 but also $634!!!!! My friend who lives in the states was charged the same. I emailed the hotel to ask for an explanation but got no reply. My friend called the hotel the following day and was told it would be sorted. No explanation was given to him as to why this occurred. I also emailed the hotel again. Eventually, over a week later, the refund came through. Still no reply to my emails though. I find this non existent customer service totally unacceptable. Reception staff at the hotel were not particularly friendly. No warm welcome. No appreciation of customers. The most friendly member of staff I came across was one of the room cleaning ladies. She was very helpful and attentive. Also, if you stay in the Wahoo building, be prepared to wait a long time when using the elevator!!! Don’t think I’ll be returning any time soon. I’ll be back at the Sirata next time. Read less
