The hotel is ok. It is an older property and could use some updates but it wasn’t a bad stay. Fairly clean and great location right on the beach. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful.

A castle for this Queen 👸
It was a great stay. Lots of fun & sun. Castle in the Sand is a very nice place. It was a few steps to the beach. You could hear the ocean. The grounds were kept up well. However, whoever the owner is should invest in some upgrades, a refresh! The staff were great. The outside entertainment was great. I would certainly go back.

Security
The stay was good. The only thing i have a problem with is cameras. There is no cameras in the hallway nor elevators. The bathrooms are very small. But over all i would recommend to some one else.

Customer service was amazing! Front desk and housekeeping were very nice. Location was great. There were hairs in the shower, mold on the bathroom ceiling, fridge smelled awful. Fruit flies everywhere. Room 3002. I would give this place another chance just because of the staff.
