Location was great. The entire staff from groundskeepers to check-in were professional and courteous. Paid for a breakfast there on one morning. Food was the best breakfast I've ever had at a restaurant. No one ever gets eggs over easy right. Mine were perfect. I was upgraded to a poolside room because of the guest ahead of me was such a problem for everyone. Thank you. Free bottled water. Wow! My cousin lives close by and it was nice he was able to park there as a guest so I could spend time with his family on the beach without a big hassle of travel/parking arrangements. Rumor is it will be torn down and replaced. Nice I got to stay at place with an old Florida vibe before none are left and it's corporate greed or nothing.

This hotel still has the old Florida charm. So it's not a hotel with a lot of fancy, shiny architecture. Instead, you really enjoy the contact with the very friendly staff and the other guests. We have been here regularly for several years since the 90s. The restaurant has had an update as far as the menu is concerned. Very nice! Some of the rooms have gotten new carpet and .... yes, some of the appliances need an update. Still, this is a hotel with everything you need. Beach chair and umbrella are included in the price. There is free parking. I hope it will still be there on my next trip to Florida. I would miss this quaint hotel. Hoping it doesn't get sold to condo developers or some other fancy shiny impersonal hotel.

Initially disappointed in our room. Leaky toilet above dripping into/on our toilet below. Management adjusted our room providing very nice accommodations for our second night and rescinded the first night's charge. This made up for the initial disappointment and was very much appreciated. Responsive management made a big difference. The shuttle bus was also great way to reach St. Armand's. Very short waits, comfortable and convenient.

My family and I loved that Sandcastles is right on the beach with beach towels, umbrella and beach chairs provided. The 2 pools are large and enjoyable. Loved that a shuttle (free of charge) transports from the resort to St Armand's Circle and back every half hour or so or when needed. An added bonus is that free water bottles are provided too. This was our 2nd time staying here, and we will be back for sure!

Right on the beautiful beach with wonderful views of the Gulf. Large swimming pool. Rooms were spacious and cleaned every day. Beach chairs and umbrellas free, with as many clean towels and cold bottled water as you wanted. Beach bar had great atmosphere, and the friendly restaurant served very good breakfasts. Shuttle service to St. Armans Circle was regular and ran until 10p,m. Parking is also free.
