The TradeWinds Island Resort
A 25-acre beachfront playground, TradeWinds Island Grand was created with fun in mind. Master a stand-up paddleboard. Plunch down a three-story water slide. Feast on the freshest Florida seafood. Kids will never be bored with KONK camps, crafts and family activities. Or relax by one of five heated pools, indulge in a massage or escape to a beachside hammock. We are committed to ensuring that every guest can “Just let go” while visiting one of our resorts. Learn more about our guest satisfaction program. For more information on the hotel and recreational activities for families, visit www.tradeswindresort.com. The TradeWinds Resort Hotel is located 30 minutes from Tampa International Airport via Interstate 275. Recreational facilities that are free to conference participants and their families who stay at the TradeWinds include four pools, sauna, whirlpools, a variety of both indoor and beach games, a fitness center, beach cabanas, aerobics/water aerobics, tennis courts, water trykes, and paddleboats. The Resort is less than 90 minutes from all major Central Florida attractions. Sample attractions include Busch Gardens in Tampa and Walt Disney World, Sea World, and Universal Studios in Orlando. NITOP congratulates the TradeWinds on its designation by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection as a Two Palm Green Lodging Program facility. The Two Palm designation recognizes increased energy conservation and pollution prevention measures since the property’s One Palm designation in 2007. We encourage all NITOP participants to support and take part in the hotel’s environmental efforts during their stay. TradeWinds Sanitation Guidelines 
Message from TradeWinds -- Cashless System "TradeWinds Island Resorts is joining the cashless movement! With recent cleanliness efforts furthering the steady decline of cash transactions, and newly optimized payment technology, there's one less worry. Our property is proud to announce a new cashless business model effective July 6, 2022. In addition, there will be new self-check-out terminals allowing more speedy in-house transactions. Additional enhancements we are working on include: self-pay kiosks, mobile ordering, and RFID wristbands which will allow our guests to simply shop, scan, and go! We embrace these new technological advances as a step to provide a more efficient, safe, and convenient experience - leaving you with more time to Just Let Go! While cash will no longer be accepted for payment throughout the properties beginning July 6th, we have added “Cash to Card” machines at both Island Grand Beach Resort and RumFish Beach Resort. These machines work as a reverse ATM (without the fees) converting cash to pre-paid debit cards that can be used anywhere. Our employee partners are still able to accept cash for gratuities, but we will not be able to make change onsite. We look forward to welcoming you and are excited to hear your feedback |
