Cortez 4 Stars Hotels

"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."

"The resort is nice however the infrastructure is showing its age. The elevators acted up with one not stopping on our floor even when floor button lit. It took two tries up and down before it opened on the ground floor and we walked up. That elevator was down for maintenance the next day. We were offered an upgrade to a beach view suite with Juliette balcony. It was a beautiful view and suite was clean and comfortable. However the sliding door to open the balcony was extremely hard to open & close with the handle very loose. We ended up not opening. Bathroom plumbing was showing age. The only deal breaker was the elevator. Otherwise it was a nice stay."

"It’s a beautiful hotel right on the beach. Spacious clean rooms. "

"My wife and I were really impressed with our experience. The service was outstanding, from the valet to the front desk to the Tiki bar staff and servers at Drift. We would definitely return and recommend to others."

"When I pulled up I thought it looked like a standard type Florida motel but……. I was wrong. Once you enter the back of the resort you will be totally surprised with 2 really nice pools, jacuzzi, very clean beach scene, beach restaurant , gourmet restaurant and bar and a really nice coffee shop. "

"The hotel is lovely, but they have some challenges that affected my stay and my overall opinion of the property. We waited 45 minutes in line to check in due to a system shutdown. The toilet in our room cycled all night, keeping us up, and requiring a room change. The hotel then didn’t recognize our prepaid room and charged me again for the room nights, pulling the funds from my bank account and adding undue charges to my credit card. It was an unfortunate experience that will prevent me from wanting to stay there again, which is disappointing because I love the location and beauty of the building. "

"Everything was great"
