Love the facilities, dining, bar, entertainment. Beach access was beautiful, we took several amazing pictures of the moon and water that were stunning! The movie night was another great surprise to end our evening with. Overall a great stay, 5 stars!
I’ve stayed at the Castle in the Sand several times and although it’s an older hotel, it needs work. But most importantly, some of the employees did not make me feel safe or comfortable. While the people working, the front desk were very good, there were two employees in particular that I saw each day that we’re not nice or courteous. One in particular. Was actually scary. I tried to avoid her each day.
