For a quieter, more intimate experience, check out the resort's sister property, TradeWinds Sandpiper Suites.
Fodor's "The only resort on the beach offering up its own fireworks display, the island-chic TradeWinds is very popular with foreign travelers and the go-to place for beach weddings." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Deceptively severe-looking from the outside, this resort is fantastic once you explore the walkways, patios, and lily ponds."
Star Service "Situated next to the less energetic, more intimate Sirata Beach Resort, this is one of a pair of Tradewinds hotels, and it remains the nicer of the two thanks to continuing updates." Full review
