After reading some of the reviews, I was a little worried about what we would find. We stayed in the North tower, bayside. Our room was clean, the biggest problem was the water pressure in the shower. You had to run around to get wet!!! It also went from hot to cold during shower. Other than that, we really enjoyed... more

This review is not a hoakes. We stayed at the castle in the sand for the first time july 09. I booked our stay and then read the reviews on traveladvisor.com and was a bit worried. We had an oceanfront kitchenette in the Waverly--first floor. The view of the ocean was a bit blocked by the sand dunes but that... more

We have 2 weeks old Baby when we arrived, the moment we booked our reservation, Matt was already friendly, he suggested a good time to arrive. We got about 10 hotels to choose from thru our time share RCI, but this one keeps on popping on my computer as one of the best, the price was also fantastic. Upon arrival,... more

We arrived late at night and my husband had been led to believe we would get one of the suites that had the wood furniture - an update room. However, we had only two choices when we got there and my husband went to look at both to choose. Well, he told me that the first one that was an... more

This is the perfect location for a family beach vacation. The hotel is right on the beach, only a few steps away. Many rooms overlook the ocean. We stayed there with our teenage kids for four nights and were very pleased. Our room was a suite in the north building (the lower 3 floors have a balcony, but be sure... more

Our son, for some reason, was very intriged by the decorative ivy that grows up the side of the building! Our room was nice and clean and had a little... more

The Castle in the Sand has a wonderful marketing company. Their website and brochure are great , unfortunately for travellers the pictures and information presented in teh borochure have little to do with reality. I know it is hard to read through everything, so I will simply list pros and cons Pros: Oceanfront properity, eacy beach access, nice flower plantings... more

We arrived slightly early and had no problem checking in. When we got to the room we were a little disappointed at how the room looked compared to the pictures. The pictures must have been taken when the units were brand new. After reading the hotel rules about noise disturbances not being tolerated at all, I was surprised to be... more

I was very disappointed upon arrival at this hotel. The room did not look much like the online picture. It was dark, dingey, and dated. There were drop-ceiling panels dangling precariously in the bathroom. There was hardly any natural light, so it felt like a cave. The a/c unit is only in the very front of the room, so the... more
