Top hotels in Paradise Island
Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach
The hotel was really great. The service and staff were really helpful and courteous. The last day, housekeeping did not come to clean the room. The heated pool was a bit cold and would have preferred it to be warmer. Aside from that, it was a great resort. I would stay here again. It is family friendly ...

Excellent and as advertised. Although part of the Hilton family, this hotel had managed to keep it's boutique flavor and has a unique upscale feel that's all it's own! Would highly recommend!

Island Grand at TradeWinds
We had an amazing time at the resort. It was nice that our boys who are 18 and 15 could go do there own thing while my wife and me could enjoy the beach. They played bags and used their skim boards. Staff was really good as well.
