My partner& I frequently rent apartments in Jamaica – the island's unique character offers an endless list of treasures.. the world’s best coffee, world-class reefs, offbeat hiking&cycling, unforgettable sunsets, pristine waterfalls, fishing villages, endangered wildlife (e.g. manatees) & of course.. Home to the Legendary Bob Marley. Unfortunately, there are some parasites that ruin this paradise island & that is what... more

I'm not a picky high maintenance person when it comes to hotels. I've stayed in everything from moderate 2 star motels to high end 4 star establishments but this was probably one of the most unpleasant places i've stayed so far. To put it simply the furnishings in my room were old and worn and the room just had a...i... more

Jamaica was GREAT but Sandcastles was not. The upkeep was awful--paint peeling, water damage, doors warped , old,broken, stained furniture, lights not working and a tarp still on the roof. We could not get towels because housekeeping was not finished with the washing. We paid for all inclusive but the menu and services were limited. You had to purchase a... more

It was quiet, comfortable... more

I had to post another review...people beware. I stayed at Sand Castle hotel in February of 2009. I must say the time we spent there (9 days) was great. We occupied 3 rooms on the second floor. Room service was not available but that was not an issue because it's located next to everything. I went back with my mom... more

The hotel itself looks quite good from the outside. Considering where it is situated it was quite peaceful. At first i didnt like my room but i soon adjusted... more

Like all hotels you can always read good and bad reviews and like many I didn't expect much of Sandcastles. As it was I was more than pleasantly surprised. I booked an apartment at the resort (D15) direct through Holiday-rentals (http://www.holiday-rentals.co.uk/p220117). I can't comment therefore on the rooms you get with the hotel generally however I couldn't fault this particular... more
