Staff did everything to make our trip wonderful. Can't say enough on how great Lisa, Claire and all the staff are. This is a little slice of heaven on earth and the food was excellant. Total relaxation is what to expect when you stay. Very romantic feel also.

It's tough to describe how beautiful this spot is. The hotel is absolutely breathtaking! Our cottage was so beautiful, way nicer than I had expected! Very spacious cottage, large bed, sofa, big bathroom with a beautiful outdoor shower!

Everyone who worked here were fantastic and very accommodating. The breakfasts, lunches and dinners were delicious! Loved the Veggie Burger :) If there is one downfall is that in the mornings and evening, the place is so peaceful and quiet , but around mid morning until late afternoon...the beach is packed with people from boat excursions, making it very very busy. But...we would just take a stroll down the beach and climb over the hill and park ourselves near Ivan's Campground and swim, snorkel and relax until people started to leave :)

They offer snorkel equipment, paddle boards, kayaks....it's great! We took the kayak one day and paddled over to Foxy's for some adult beverages..very fun!

This place offers one of the most relaxing vacations I think I've ever experienced! We will be back...for sure!! Thanks for the memories Sandcastle Hotel and Soggy Dollar Bar!

This was our first stop during our trip through the BVI's and it was the most memorable as well. There was no real office for check in when we arrived so we wandered over to the Soggy Dollar where there were about 20 people gathered around the bar waiting for drinks. Since we weren't ordering drinks, I thought it was ok to interupt and ask where we could check in. The bartender (Simone), immediately stopped bartending and showed us to our room - leaving a crowded bar with just another bartender. We felt important.

The cottages are great. Two things stood out during our tour of the cottage... 1. No air conditioning. This didn't matter since there were two fans in the room. This didn't affect our sleep at all - open the screened windows and it felt great. 2. There is no room key. This concerned us for about a second before we realized it simply wasn't a problem here.

After we dropped our bags off, we went back to the Soggy Dollar and there were even more people around the bar. Simone immediately noticed us behind the crowd and made us her number one priority. Wow! And every time we went back as well. The pain killers were so good. Once you try these you'll be disappointed trying them anywhere else.

We only had lunch there but were very impressed with the quality of food - not standard bar food. The chicken salad and fish sandwich were delicious.

We wanted to catch the last ferry of the day, and asked for a late check out. Another guest had booked our cottage so we would have to move our stuff. Winsome (another employee) simply transferred us to one of the two AC rooms tha were vacant - I know we left a lot of sand.

The beach, environment and people were amazing. My wife did not want to leave.

We been to several Caribbean islands, and loved them all, but this is the only place that we said we want to revisit. The property is fantastic but the service from Simone and Winome is what truly made the visit special.

My first visit to Jost was 2 years ago on the day ferry from STJ...I took one look at The Sandcastle and knew I HAD to come back and stay. Well this year, on a girl's trip, I got to do just that. We had both beachfront cottages for 2 nights. I can tell you, it wasn't long enough. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. They take such good care of you. I had read somewhere that those that return again and again keep tacking on nights...and I can see why. Next trip I definitely want to stay longer.....it's so amazing. The food is very good also. We had dinner there one of the nights and it was superb. We had the chicken roti for lunch both days...sooooo good. At night, after dinner, it's so peaceful and we were able to see The Southern Cross ( thanks to Debicor, the previous poster ) All in all...a little slice of heaven...
