The hotel is in a convenient location, just a short walk to the city and with lovely views of the surrounding area. The room was spacious but dated and had a musty smell that made it difficult to enjoy. Although the staff was efficient during check-in, service was lacking at times, especially during breakfast. The grounds were well-maintained, but the overall premises need some renovations to improve the experience.

I had a mixed experience at the Rydges Tradewinds Hotel. The ocean view room was a nice touch and offered a lovely sight, but the lack of room cleaning during my stay was quite disappointing. While some staff members were friendly and helpful, there were issues with noisy neighbors and a lack of consistent service. Overall, I appreciated the efforts of the staff, but the room condition could certainly use some improvement.

The ocean view room was spacious and offered a nice glimpse of the sea. However, it was disappointing that the room wasn't cleaned during our stay, and I felt the bedding could have been fresher.

The check-in staff were friendly and quite helpful, but service inconsistencies throughout the stay left me wanting more. I appreciated the complimentary drink vouchers as a gesture for the noise issues.

The hotel is well-placed at the top end of the Esplanade, close to restaurants and shops, which made it convenient for exploring the area.

The hotel features a nice saltwater pool and a tour desk that was helpful for booking activities, but the mold issue in the ceiling was concerning.

This hotel is a fantastic choice for a getaway, with spacious rooms that come with great views and comfortable beds. The spa and pool area are lovely, making it a delightful stay overall. However, the Wi-Fi is quite an issue, and dining options could use some improvement. For the price, it offers great value but keep in mind the need to address internet connectivity.

I had a disappointing stay at Rydges Tradewinds. The location on The Esplanade is convenient, just a short walk to numerous restaurants, but the hotel itself felt rundown and in dire need of refurbishment. While the maid service was friendly, the overall staff appeared disinterested. The rooms were uncomfortable and dated, with cleanliness being an issue. It's not the value for money I was hoping for, especially with the added Wi-Fi charges.

The rooms were very dated, with stained carpets and an ancient TV. The beds were worn out and uncomfortable.
