Think twice
I will definitely think twice before staying at this resort in the future. The positives: The location and beach access is great. The live music near the pool area is great. The not so good: We found multiple bugs in our room. The tv in the bedroom did not work. The tv in the living room area had cracks in the screen. We had issues with and noticed others have issues with the pool area attendants. The resort has a policy of not allowing coolers in the pool area, but they do allow them along the wall surrounding the pool area. When we were told of the policy of no coolers in pool area we moved our cooler along the wall but were told we couldn't put OUR cooler there because it was not by OUR room. After talking to front desk we were allowed to have cooler along the wall. We also noticed other guests have other issues with the same pool area attendant. Upon checkout we were not even asked how our stay was, just took the keys and said we were good to go. As a side note, front lobby area is currently under renovations, which i can understand, however they did not have very good signage guiding guests to new "lobby" area on 2nd floor. For these reasons, we will definitely THINK TWICE before staying at the Thunderbird Resort again.

Great location, could use some work
My friend and I spent 4 nights in Treasure Island at the Thunderbird, and there were both pros and cons to the hotel. Pros: The location is awesome. We walked to many places every day, and the hotel seemed centrally located to many places of interest. The pool patio area was nice with music every single day, and in the evenings, the tiki bar was busy and nice. The employees in the lobby were very helpful and tried their best while being displaced to a temporary location to make everything run smoothly. I would definitely request a room facing the ocean rather than a pool view, as there is no balcony on those rooms and the noise would be noticeable. Cons: The room was extremely bad smelling when we arrived, to the point we bought several air fresheners and three different damp rid bags. That still didn't eliminate the smell, but did make it bearable. The room was extremely humid and damp, and no matter the things we did to help with this, it didn't seem to matter. The room was fairly clean, but the first day no one came in to clean our room, and a second day our room was not cleaned until 4:30 PM when we returned to get ready for the evening. In general, the hotel is older and needs some updating, but it was decent enough for a few nights. The rooms facing the pool did not have balconies, so the outdoor space for these rooms were in the general walkways; at times, these were impassable due to floats, extra chairs, and beach supplies sitting there.

I liked the live music, seating area was good for relaxing and very quiet at night which was nice. Front desk was very rude and snippy for everything. Was charged another $197 when I checked in and that was to use the pool, WiFi, beach, etc. I’ve never heard of such thing and never had an issue like that before. Everything was already paid in full and it included all amenities in my total price when booking months ago, as it should. I thought at first maybe it was a deposit and just needed a card on file in case of damages, cleaning, etc and I had asked if that’s what it was for but nope. Went down to ask for a paper that I had signed and they would not give it to me and told me I’m not allowed to see it or have it. Went down before checking out to get a coffee that is complimentary and supposedly offered 24/7 and I was trying to make a cup and the lady shouted and said that it was empty and she turned it off already. Parking is an absolute nightmare! Very limited and hard to get a parking spot. Could barely drive through the parking lot due to cars being parked in front of other cars and very tight squeeze. Pool was absolutely disgusting and was never once cleaned during the whole trip. Never got my receipt from checking out, which they asked if I wanted, I said yes. Other than the rude front desk staff and the dirty pool, it’s overall a good stay.

The pictures online do not do this property justice. The rooms are really dirty , the linens and towels are all dingy and look dirty all the time. The two pools are both very gross. Looks like snot and dirt floating in them and we’re not cleaned at all. This property is way over priced & I would not recommend a visit here.

The rooms were nice but they put me in a room right by the pool it was noisy and wet and slippery and unsafe and people were partying right outside my door. So they did move us and that room was better. The parking was terrible as well i will not gi back cause they cant garuntee that they would have a room away from this.
