Sand castle was a small but beautiful resort. We got told many of times they have the best beach on the island and from what we seen I believe it. Nice sandy beach with chairs, umbrellas, chair covers and towels. They had everything we needed. It was close to things and not hard to navigate. The beds awe the beds were amazingly comfortable. The rooms were clean and nice. We stated in a King suite with a patio and it felt so peaceful until the morning when traffic would start up. However if you just want to relax on the beach don't expect fast service it was hit and miss. One lady was amazing and the other was non existant almost probaly because they automatically add 20% gratuity onto your bill. Just take your cooler that's provided and bring your own drinks. The food and drink prices were fairly expensive as well. Overall I would stay again but would probaly eat elsewhere.

Great atmosphere, spectacular views of the Caribbean horizon, beautiful beach, everyone was very friendly (Ifa =)), and the rooms were very well-decorated and equipped.

A word of advice to those reading this review: when you travel to any island, remember that they face challenges that many mainland countries don't. Arrive with a positive attitude and don't criticize trivial matters or write pointless reviews that negatively impact these small businesses that work so hard to operate on an island. Enjoy the moment and live!

My wife and I were treated very well by all of the staff here. Josh, Michelle, Joy, and others went above and beyond while we stayed here. We were given helpful ideas of places to go and things to do. The amenities here were great. We utilized the beach, the pool, and the restaurant. The beach was very clean and the water here was crystal clear. My wife and i swam and snorkeled almost everyday. We saw all the characters from Finding Nemo (except Bruce) and we saw 4 turtles on our last morning. That was a definite highlight of the trip. The food at the café was excellent. Everyday we were on the beach, the smell from the kitchen was so inviting and would entice me to wanna eat.

If you want a resort feel where the beach is pristine and the pools are warm, the cafe serves lobster and the staff are Amazing, this is where you want to stay. It’s not the “newest” resort but the amenities are great. Could not have been happier with the staff and food available on property. Free snorkel equipment and kayaking available. Over all will go again.

I really enjoyed this resort! Everyone was friendly and the beaches/property were clean. There were alot of fish in the ocean but that's their home so pretty much nothing you can do about that and I choose adults only when I travel solo because I don't want to hear kids screaming so I did not like that the hotel was adults only, but the beach is not. The food at the beachside cafe is good but expensive. I got shrimp and rice and it ran me $48.00. Lover the cinnamon raisin buns at breakfast!

The Sandcastle on the Beach in St. Croix is an ideal location for travelers. The hotel is well kept, staff is extraordinary, food is delicious and the owner's obviously love hosting their guests. The beach is pristine and about 10 steps away from Sandcastle. Sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, lavish beach towels; all are there for guests. I also appreciated the adults only status.

Sandcastle hotel was an awesome place to stay. The front desk personnel were helpful at check-in explaining what was available as far as amenities during our stay. The only thing I can say is the continental breakfast offered at the check-in desk needs an improvement. Other than that, the hotel grounds are pleasant and well manicured. The room I choose had a nice veranda, a kitchen with a larger refrigerator, stove and a microwave. The beach was clean, water clear ( great for snorkeling ) with chairs and umbrellas. I will definitely stay there on my next trip back.

We had a wonderful time while staying here for our vacation. The staff was professional, courteous, and extremely helpful with our questions about navigating the island. We enjoyed taking out the kayaks and using the snorkeling gear the hotel provided. The pool was warm and clean. The room was always cleaned when we needed it. Having beach towels provided was also a pleasant surprise. We stayed in an sea view room and we were impressed at the size of the room. The suite had plenty of space and comfortable chairs. We would highly recommend this resort! We can't wait to return!

The most relaxing vacation we've ever taken. Staff, food, rooms, pools, beach, and snorkeling were all exceptional. My wife swam with a sea turtle!

Expect to pay island prices for dinner, but it is well worth it. We hadn't planned on it but we ate every dinner at their restaurant, just a couple of feet from the beach. We simply couldn't imagine anywhere else being better.

We can't wait to go back.

The sand castle in St. Croix is amazing. It only let me give five stars. If I could give 100 I would. Everyone was so kind and friendly. There were two beautiful pools and plenty of beach, chairs and umbrellas to go around. The beach was just stunning and is steps from the hotel. They provide snorkeling, equipment, kayaks, chair, covers, and beach towels at no charge. We stayed in the Secret Haven Villa which was perfect! The management even brought in a mattress pad when the bed was a little hard on my back. We ate at the restaurant there several nights food was outstanding and so were the drinks. The hotel is less than a mile from the Frederickstead pier great views, shopping and restaurants. Take the advice of the hotel and rent a car but if you’re looking for a quiet relaxing vacation where you don’t have to go anywhere all you need is available at the Sand Castle!

This is a lovely little gem of a hotel with excellent ownership and staff. You can tell they place a lot of pride in their property and catering to their customers. I really appreciated the serenity of the beach being private and having excellent drinks served while relaxing. There’s snorkeling gear and kayaks for guests to use for free as well which is a plus. Rooms were cute and spotless. There’s complimentary breakfast too.This is a well-maintained hotel for sure. It’s a little remote, but we were still able to walk into Frederiksted for a boat trip and dinner which was nice. We took taxis for our other excursions which was fine. The hotel gave us a list of recommended drivers and Kennith took care of us fabulously. Highly recommend this hotel for a beautiful beach vacation.

When we arrived we were somewhat surprised when we were directed across the street from the resort. Turns out There are about 6 one room units , some with kitchens( our wasn’t) with its own pool located there. That Wasn’t a problem and it’s a very nice room. However, we were also not aware it was “clothing optional”.At times there were guests who were nude (not us lol).
The clothing optional was not a big deal to and we don’t spent much time at our room anyway. We prefer the beach and Sand Castle has a beautiful one.
Was not crazy about the restaurant (there is just the one) and it is very pricey. The only items we enjoyed on the menu were the Smash burger ($20 and a garden salad with chicken $30). Both were very good. Beers were $6 and mixed drinks $12-$14.
We weren’t aware they served brunch on weekends. During the week you get a complimentary continental breakfast consisting of a cinnamon roll, Titi bread, coconut drop cookie, slice of cheese, hard boiled egg, an orange or apple, juice and Kureg coffee.
We rented a car and bought our alcohol at the local super market. It was also EXTREMELY expensive but still cheaper than the resort bar. You are provided a little cooler and there is an ice machine so we’d load it up and take it to the beach.
Not impressed with Fredricksted, Christiansted is bigger and has a board walk with more shops. And much better restaurants.
Overall we were happy with Sand Castle and would consider staying there again should we return.

staff were very good. Room clean. A bit noisy on the first floor. Chris the beach attendant was fantastic!!!! The area where hotel is does not have anything around it. Frederiksted does not offer much. Better in Christiansted. Need a car at Sand Castle. Cafe next door is not the best and it is the only thing around. Food got old real fast.

We had such a wonderful time, the staff was more than courteous they treat you like a king/Queen. So informationally and the restaurant staff was just as wonderful, and don't forget about the cleaning crew, We really did not want any room service while we were there so the cleaning personal tracked me down and gave me clean towels. Who else does that! The beach personal, I can not say enough. This experience was excellent and I highly recommend this resort if you want the experience of a lifetime. Thank you Sand Castle on the Beach.

We had a great stay! Grounds and room were clean and in great condition, was nice to have a full size fridge and kitchenette, bed was firm, AC and room controls worked great, staff were super friendly and helpful. Restaurant was fine, only ate there once. Continental breakfast is easily skipped - a few breads, apples, oranges - we stopped at a market and made use of the kitchen in the room instead. Lights around the hotel were bright all night which is nice for security but the little window in the room door meant that the room really bright at night so we taped something over it at night because we prefer near black out for sleeping, but that's just us. Would go back again!

Every single member of the staff made us feel like we were family and was genuinely interested in making sure our stay at Hotel Sand Castle was fantastic! The hotel is on one of the prettiest beaches on St. Croix and the restaurant is also a destination on the island for its food and amazing sunset views. We have already made plans to return next year!

The room exceeded expectations. The pictures make it seem darker than it is. Very clean and perfectly stocked with pillows, towels, kitchenette items.
I’m not sure if the restaurant is under the same management. The vibe was completely different from the restaurant staff. While no one was unpleasant, I didn’t find the staff friendly either. Mostly seemed inconvenienced by the patrons. Felt odd given the hotel side staff were all lovely.

We got an oceanfront room with a beautiful view of ocean and and maybe 50ft walk to the beach. We enjoyed staff, food, and the amazing beach frontage that was all sand and coral! We snorkled everyday in front of hotel and saw lots of colorful fish, starfish and on our last full day we got to spend some time with a sea turtle passing through while snorkeling! We will be back to Sandcastle on the beach for sure!!

Right as you enter you will see a bunch of pamphlets on the wall with places to go to do activities, shopping, restaurants and more. ALL staff is very friendly, will give tourist recommendations where to go and right at the front entrance. Peggy at the bar introduced us to Tina who does tours ( J&T Adventures) I would recommend going with her as a first timer, when out and about remember cash is king, some places don’t take card. I am a shy person myself but she is very lax she will take you anywhere I mean ANYWHERE just hit her up. We got the chance to go sail/fish as well and a little sail boat parked at the shore, the face of the company is Steffy the dog to may see her in the water or on the boat. I was surprised they had free kayaking and snorkeling at the hotel, we had the chance to see a green sea turtle and many other fish during our stay! 10/10 would stay again

The team at the hotel was excellent, very friendly. The ocean was beautiful. The restaurant was, in my mind, just ok. Continental Breakfast was ok. I don't recommend going in August, very, very hot. I would think the winter months would be very nice. Not a lot to do off the property.

We really enjoyed our stay ay Sandcastle. Our deluxe waterfront suite was incredible, just steps from the pool, the beach, and the restaurant. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The menu at the beachfront restaurant was varied and the entrees were excellent. The only downside was the distance from Christiansted. We would definitely stay there again but extend our stay to two weeks at least.

The beach at the resort was an absolute dream for a honeymoon! We toured around the entire island during our honeymoon and kept saying that Sand Castles was the best choice! The drinks onsite were fantastic as well as the restaurant. The continental breakfast was a great way to start the day. We appreciated the snorkeling gear and the ability to take the kayaks out at no additional charge. The resort was so clean and everyone was so nice! We will absolutely be back again soon!

Amazing! We had the best time. Super clean and nicely decorated rooms with plenty of hot water and AC that works wonderful and actually had to turn up because it got a little cold (and I’m hot all the time). The beach is one of the best on the island. Food, drinks, service are fantastic. Already planning our trip for next year!

It is quiet on the beach here and relaxing. They do a great job at catering to your needs. We will definitely staying here again. The owners are also wonderful and always making sure you have everything you need. Make sure you try the white chocolate bread pudding.
