Tradewinds Sirata Beach Resort Reviews
" We opted for a twin centre holiday... "
Submitted By: Ms P Alford
We opted for a twin centre holiday and after spending a week on International Drive and doing all the theme parks, we were looking forward to relaxing for our second week. We were not disappointed in the least! The Sirata Beach, as it indicates is right on the beachfront. We requested a Gulf view room and was able to watch the sun setting at 8pm every night.
There are 3 pools (and two spas) and only previously going to the Med for our holidays before this, could not believe that there was never a fight for sun loungers! No need to take towels away with you either, as there is a towel hut and you just go on and hire them.
We found the staff to go out of their way to help in any way that they could. The room was cleaned every day and their standards are excellent.
Outside of the hotel we found to be very quiet. As it is among a residential area, a lot of the bars actually close at 10pm. Although having said that, we did find Bennegans to be quite lively and they were even trial-ing karaoke on a Friday night, quite unheard of around there.
Just one thing to watch out for, something that we hadn’t heard of before .... they have something called Red Tide there. Not sure if it's every year or whether we were just unlucky. As soon as we arrived, I noticed that we all started getting a niggly tickly throat. When we went to our Welcome Meeting, the rep also had it. She told us that there was an outbreak of Red Tide which kills fish, marine mammals and water birds and can cause breathing problems in humans. It's a harmful algae and we were assured that as long as we didn’t have any bronchial problems, then the side effects are just as described above.
Having said all that, it's a beautiful place and I would love to go there again.

Cons: parking cost $8 a day additional. Cabana for the beach cost additional. I recommend the package deal, $15 a day for parking and cabana combined. Much cheaper to get together.
All in all, a very affordable, relaxing and enjoyable trip.
