The hotel was located in a very convenient place and easy access to shops and restaurants. The breakfast staff were fantastic and remembered what i liked for my breakfast and had it ready for me without requesting it. A star quality - Tracey the chef was brilliant. Room and Hotel were very clean and not at all noisy. Although one of the lifts had a mind of its own and would make you travel to all levels that it desired. I would definitely stay here again when they have special rates as the price was worth every penny of my stay. Well done keep up the good standard. See you all soon.

Lovely location with view of the

Lovely location with view of the sea and esplanade. Great breakfast with tasty fresh fruit (coffee could be better though!). Staff are very pleasant and helpful. Slightly damp smell in the bedroom, possibly due to the tropical conditions. All in all, a lovely stay in comfortable hotel (we missed it when we moved on to other cities!)

i found the tradewinds a comfortable

i found the tradewinds a comfortable and enjoyable experience.being low season helped i think but all the same the hotel had a very relaxed and calm ambience,i got the room and bed i desired so that was a great start and the bar manager was particulary helpful when the new waitress forgot my partners drink order,meals are reasonably priced and its just the right distance from all the crowd at the eating district no more than 10 min walk.i will definitely stay at this hotel again if i was to return.i refrained from using wireless so i cant comment on the value,all in all enjoyable.and a mention to the host at breakfast who noticed a guest attempting to push in front of myself and my partner when showing the room key,he was a very professional and perceptive employee despite the fact he was busy,well done.

Staff at reception when checking

Staff at reception when checking in were rude and not helpful. Staff in restaurant and breakfast friendly and efficient. Rooms are quite spacious - but bedspreads etc are dated. Lobby looks nice. Pool is well sized but there was a lot of leaf litter in the pool.
