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.
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.

Had a great stay and was right on the beach. Great staff and location.
Need new beds pretty warm down. Would definitely stay there again if I’m in town again.
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.
Comfortable stay. Clean room. Great amenities. Definitely worth it.

The internet did not work barely at all. Room was not cleaned first day at all and no clean towels delivered. Had to call office late at night to get towels.
The gentleman who checked us in was very nice and welcoming. The room was clean, the pillows were great! The bathroom was clean. We made the coffee in the room and it was good! Overall, it was a really nice stay and we walked to and from Country Calling both Friday and Saturday.
