We really enjoyed our stay at Castle in the Sand. The rooms were surprisingly spacious, which was perfect for our family with seven little kids across two rooms. Having a ground-floor room was a huge plus—easy to get in and out. The location was great, especially since the bar was just a short walk away, so we could unwind easily. The kids loved being able to play in the sand right outside back, and they had a fantastic time in the pool. It was also a big help that we could cook our own dinners in the kitchenette without any trouble. Overall, a really nice spot for families looking for a relaxed beach getaway.

We've stayed at many beach properies over the years. Some have been more worn than others. We did get a good deal for this weekend, and the rooms are clean. The hotel is definitely worn; some paint and freshening up of the grounds is needed. Front desk staff is helpful. The other staff is not very friendly.

This is an older hotel with 3 buildings. We were in the oldest building. It had a bedroom and a living room with a small kitchen. Needed updated, but we could see they had a hopper with carpeting etc, so I bet they were doing some renovation. Coconuts bar and grill was outside the living room door which was fun, but noisy.
