The room exceeded expectations. The pictures make it seem darker than it is. Very clean and perfectly stocked with pillows, towels, kitchenette items. I’m not sure if the restaurant is under the same management. The vibe was completely different from the restaurant staff. While no one was unpleasant, I didn’t find the staff friendly either. Mostly seemed inconvenienced by the patrons. Felt odd given the hotel side staff were all lovely.

The team at the hotel was excellent, very friendly. The ocean was beautiful. The restaurant was, in my mind, just ok. Continental Breakfast was ok. I don't recommend going in August, very, very hot. I would think the winter months would be very nice. Not a lot to do off the property.

The beach at the resort was an absolute dream for a honeymoon! We toured around the entire island during our honeymoon and kept saying that Sand Castles was the best choice! The drinks onsite were fantastic as well as the restaurant. The continental breakfast was a great way to start the day. We appreciated the snorkeling gear and the ability to take the kayaks out at no additional charge. The resort was so clean and everyone was so nice! We will absolutely be back again soon!

This was our second year staying here. Again no disappointments. Josh at the front desk was so helpful in telling us other options on where to eat and also things to do. It is quiet on the beach here and relaxing. They do a great job at catering to your needs. We will definitely staying here again. The owners are also wonderful and always making sure you have everything you need. Make sure you try the white chocolate bread pudding.
