Both tropical and traditional, the Island Grand is the TradeWinds' classic, fun, family-friendly, Florida beach resort; complete in its offerings, yet individual in its attention. The Island Grand is a paddle boat ride on a meandering canal or a massage just before a dinner of fresh seafood. It's stealing an evening alone while the kids are entertained at "kids night out", breakfast in bed in one of the newly renovated suites, an endless choice of things to do, all drenched in the warm, relaxing Florida sun. The hotel has 585 guest rooms including family style suites.
