The TradeWinds Island Grand is a AAA four-diamond resort with many family-friendly features, including suites with kitchen facilities.
Families like the inflatable slide on the white-sand beach, and the beach cabanas and water-trikes.
TradeWinds Splash Island Water Park: new in 2011 a 20,000 square foot floating water park and playground, floating 60 feet offshore, and featuring slides, trampolines, climbing structures, rafts, and more. (There will be a charge to use this water park, and it's open to the public.)
Back on land, the resort has five pools, including a kids pool that's near the Kids' Club. And our favorite feature at the TradeWinds: a meandering river you can navigate by paddleboat.
Sample summer activities: glow-in-the-dark golf and volleyball; dive-in movies; bungee trampoline; the three-story inflatable High Tide Slide on the beach (separate cost); complimentary RedBeard the Pirate Show, twice weekly; Ghost Walking Tour, for ages 12 and up; Pirate Island Family Party; Teens Rule Getaway Party.
Daily Resort Amenities Fee -- which may be included in vacation packages-- includes beach cabana, water trykes and paddleboats, tennis court play, fitness center, day play on mini-golf course and beach volleyball courts, self-parking, wireless internet, portions of kids', pool towels and more.
