A peaceful tropical escape, a true gem. This was probably the most relaxed vacation I have ever had. I was looking for a destination to vacation alone and chill-out. I found it at the Sandcastle. I wanted to get away and mellow out and found myself making friends with many of the other guests. The property’s proprietors, Sheryl and Simone... more

The hotel Stayed the first night in a studio 202 which may have been a bit small for our taste so we upgraded to suite 207. Very clean, comfortable and worth the extra money if you can afford it. Patio facing the beach was nice to enjoy morning coffee before starting the day. The two windows along both sides of... more

I reseached my vacation throughly before booking directly on sandcastleonthebeach.com It was a special trip and I wanted the best - the "Luxury Beachfront Villa" as advertised on the website. I paid top dollar too, but it had everuthing I wanted as I narrowed down my search (room on the sand, 2 pools, gay friendly, nice beach, kitchen in villa).... more

The Sandcastle on the Beach was not what I expected, especially for what I paid. The location was near several housing projects on a rough part of the island , Frederiksted. The noise from the music went all night and the management could not move us to a different room. The hotel did not provide shampoo so bring your own!... more

This was our very first trip together and we booked very last minute, so trying to find a warm, affordable destination in December was tough. SCOTB was available, in our price range, and offered what we wanted... beach and bed. Had read TripAdvisor first, I may not have booked, given that this resort tends to cater to the GL crown... more

I realize that the price here is more affordable than many spots in the Caribbean, but this just wasn't quite the getaway I was hoping for. The property is actually tiny. And the beach in front is actually quite narrow. The water is beautifully clear, so when waves were calm enough, the swimming was nice. My big complaint, though, is... more

We have just gotten home and can't wait to return. If you are looking for large resort amenities or a casino, this is not the place for you. But if you are looking for a quiet peaceful piece of heaven, it is. The owners and staff are friendly like family, and the patio and dining room are right on the... more

We stayed at Sandcastle for two nights. The room was ok. It was nice to have a fridge, stove, and sink. The only thing we didn't like about the room was the shower, which was a little gross and the water pressure was practically non-existent. The water also smelled funny when it first came out of the tap. The front... more

We found the hotel on purple roofs website and checked in knowing that hurricane dean would probably cut our vacation short. The first night we stayed in room 202 at the time it had no hot water and all the channels on the tv were scrambled. The glass on the windows even in the villas was painted black or had... more
