    This was our second time staying at Castle in the Sand and we truly enjoy it. We love the location and the fact that it's a quick walk to everywhere. The on-site restaurant also makes pretty good food as well. My favorite part is that it's right...

    We weren't happy with how filthy the floors were. The kitchen had not been cleaned 😕 either. Other then that we like the Castle.
