Average at best
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.

A castle for this Queen 👸
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.

Security
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.
