We enjoyed our stay at The Sandcastle Resort. The grounds are really pretty and well kept. The two large pools are beautiful. Nice service with the beach towels, umbrellas, beach toys. He shuttle service to St. Armonds Circle is really a great asset. We loved our time spent there. Also having a restaurant on the premises is so convenient and the breakfast buffet is delicious. Cloth napkins and table ware are really nice!
