Do Not Stay Here - there are better options!

The Sandcastle Resort was very outdated and the pictures on the website are misleading to say the least. We were charged a Resort Fee and on check out asked to be refunded since our confirmation email clearly stated that the fee is only from March 31-October and were told "We charge that to everyone and it's not our problem, it's your problem". She was beyond rude and had an attitude before we even spoke. We were there from 2/21 - 2/22. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. We paid over $200 per night and are so disappointed as there are so many other hotels to choose from that had to have been better than the Sandcastle.

Room was quite run down and worn out. Fitness center was old as well -- treadmill had a bumpy walking platform. Other than the oceanview, it was pretty disappointing all around.

Happy Honeymoon

While the hotel clearly has a bit of age, mostly seen in the hallways and elevators, it is a perfectly decent stay. For five days staff was friendly and we had no issues. The breakfast is mostly carbs and starches with the option of a microwavable omelet fresh fruit and yogurt as well. We got a gift when checking in when we mentioned it was our honeymoon. No additional cost for parking. Anything we needed additional was no issue and got to us fast. Walk right out on the beach. Nice restaurant and gift shop/convenience store right on 1st level. We truly enjoyed ourselves.

This property is in a great location. Great walking location to shops and restaurants. Property is undergoing some much needed renovations. We were in a handicap room. Very deep bath tub. Not anything special about the room. Water in shower was warm at best.
