Northside Vacation Packages

The AC kept the room cool. We provided our own breakfast.

The room was certainly clean but I noticed the door on one side had rust to the point it was easy to open. Unfortunately, I came at a time the seaweed was bad and the air was pretty eggy, at no fault to the resort, nature is nature. Everyone was definitely friendly and accommodating. I wish there were more activities or excursions, but the resort is far from the beaten path. It was noticeable at times the "island" shortness, meaning not everything on the menu was always available. Lastly the room was remodeled and it was noticeable, things like the bathroom door still had the plastic protector laminate hardly removed, door ones not centered..painters tape, etc. Now is this place 5 star, not really, but its definitely suited for those looking to disconnect ( although most guests were eyeballs deep on social media rather than enjoying the time), the alcohol flows freely as does the water, the sun is exceptional, and the weather was on point. Perfect for the alcohol fueled getaway some folks need or want.

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.

The hotel is in a great location. The view was beautiful. You can see what cruise ships are in. The place was kept clean. The food was great. I read a review about the steps. Yes, there are so many steps and no elevator. That itself would get me to not stay again. I came across a couple of staff members who were not friendly, they were slightly rude. Because of this, I dinged them on the overall score. One waiter was not friendly. 2 front desk staff were not friendly. They acted like I was inconveniencing them by asking a question. Once they gave me an attitude, I found another way to answer my question. The gentleman that sit outside to help were great. Very friendly and helpful.

Surprised by power outages. TVS did not include guides to determine channels. The restaurant service seemed rather slow.
