Staying at The Sandcastle Hotel was a nostalgic experience with its charming 1950s vibe. The staff were genuinely friendly and went out of their way to assist us, making our stay enjoyable. However, the rooms were quite outdated and in need of repairs, which was disappointing given the pricing.
Rooms

The rooms were clean but quite old and dated, really in need of a refurbishment.

The hotel is directly on the beach, which is lovely, and it's convenient to various dining options like St. Armand's Circle.

Dining by the pool was a treat; the food was reasonably priced and tasty, although some more variety would have been nice.
