Don’t be fooled by the photos. The outside patio area is great, but the room was, to my wife and I, was not worth it. Maybe the main hotel is nicer, but the separate building to us was gross. The curtains to the sliding glass doors has dark spots on it like either blood or some other stain. The bathtub has rust on the shower floor and on the outside. The tub itself had a divot in it and water would pool there. Even the water felt off. And, the food/drink area, on weekends closes at 9, but I was told they close at 8 even signs said otherwise. I hadn’t ate all day and wanted food and the lady making someone’s food said that they were closed. The outside patio area is very nice and my kids enjoyed making smores. We had high hopes looking at the photos, but this hotel didn’t live up to the hype. This is the only time my family and I will stay here.

Our room was in a detached building in the back which was a little disappointing. The room we got was comparable to any motel in the area for triple the price. Unless you’re paying for ocean front this place isn’t worth it.

I stayed at the Sandcastle with beach front view and it was the best vacation ever because we were right there on the beach. We had a second story patio, got carry out at a new Mediterranean Cusine up the street. Brought it home with a glass of wine and watched the sun set just about every night. Got up and was out on the beach walking in the water for hours. It was great exercise. They also have great appetizers and wine, breakfast foods that are really good. And the staff are about and about checking to make sure the guests are well taken care of. I liked all of the staff, but superlatives were Brigette and Issac. Just calm happy people who listen to what you need with a friendly smile. A great staff of approachable people. 5 out 5 stars from me.

It has an onsite cafe that has limited hours and is very expensive. Great views and you can't get any closer to the beach.
