How to Host a Budget-Friendly Movie Night in Your Hotel Room

Want to wind down after a beach day? Turn your Tradewinds suite into your own private movie theater. Here’s how to do it without spending a lot:

1. Choose a Streaming Service
Use your laptop or plug into the in-room TV with a streaming stick (Roku, Firestick, etc.). Netflix, Hulu, or even YouTube has great options.

2. Set the Mood
Close the blinds, dim the lights, and pile pillows on the couch or bed. Cozy is key.

3. DIY Snack Bar
Microwave popcorn, chips and salsa, or even chocolate-covered almonds from the corner store work great.

4. Movie Ideas

Classic beach movies (think Blue Crush or Point Break)
Feel-good comedies
Documentaries about travel or food

You don’t need a fancy setup to have a great night in—just some snacks, a good movie, and maybe a glass of that complimentary wine from the lobby.
