We had an oceanfront room and enjoyed the view and the sounds of the waves every night. The patio was the perfect spot for a sunset cocktail. We did close our sliding door during surf school because it was located directly in front of our room. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable.

We had a last minute booking and were very pleased with the Sandcastle. We ate next door at Vespara but had a better meal that evening closeby, so u was glad we didn’t stay there for the dining. The hotel had everything we needed including a generous front desk that lent us boogie boards and sand toys for our one night stay! Would definitely come back! Very kid friendly but lots for adults, too! Love the fire pits and bar / cafe but they do get occupied quickly! Parking was great!
