"The hotel is a fun place to stay, we had a few issues with getting towels, they were always short on beach towels. The beach was cute but not anything like advertised in their pictures, beach was not cleaned up, very rocky, lots of cigarette butts in the sand. They also rented out the patio and beach space to other guests from the outside, which made it somewhat feel crowded, they also had kids around the area, even though they advertised it as an adult only hotel. Surprisingly they had only had 8 beach chairs and 8 umbrellas available. Food was alright, available only from 11-4 PM, sadly not a great variety. Most of the time we went to the other restaurants in the city, the Louie & Nacho Beach Bar and Napoleons Pizza place were pretty good, but not much of a food variety there either. We highly recommend the salmon burger at sand castle, that was pretty good. Overall stay was fun and very relaxing, the city itself was nothing to write home about, most buildings are still destroyed from last hurricane, not much going on, you will see lots of homeless people, dogs in surrounding houses will be barking through the nights. If you drink at the hotel bar, make sure you check your bill, Paula likes to add a few extra drinks and adds her own tip as well! Red flag‼️we have heard she had done this before! Overall was a great vacation! "

"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! "

"The beach view could not have been any better. Everything we needed was provided to us - snorkeling gear, sun hats, water shoes, floatation devices - you name it. This was, by far, the best vacation we have ever had - and that is all due to this property. Close enough to Fredericksted, Rainbow Beach, and all of the shops but still felt secluded. Getting in and out was very simple and we always felt secure. The deck provided us with a perfect place to conglomerate and the kitchen had everything we needed to keep the kids fed. "

"Thank you for the visit it was great."

"This beachfront home couldn’t be more perfect! The beach was pristine—we loved snorkeling just steps from the ‘back door’. The home is so clean, comfortable, & inviting. Sharifa provided all we needed. House rules/expectations were clearly stated—nothing out of the ordinary & not a heavy load on the morning of checkout. We loved the proximity (walking distance) to Rhythms Beach Bar & Grill & to the Prosperity Distillery. Prosperity is a fine establishment w/ exceptional hospitality. They invited us to hunt for chaney on the lovely property—we found many treasures. We ate out but also shopped at local markets to prepare meals in the well-equipped kitchen. Reine’s Chicken Shack was well worth the drive—perfect meal after a few hours wandering the Botanical Gardens (great gift shop there). Frederiksted comes alive on cruise ship days so save your shopping if you want more shops to be open. So glad we spent the majority of our time on SX at this property b/c it made this trip so magical. We had snorkled the reef near Buck Island so we didn’t expect to see much on this beach…but we actually met 2 lobsters AND an octopus! They were hiding so our careful & patient observance paid off. Lots of beautiful fish too—all these creatures living within just yards of the beach! Lastly, wear pants/sleeves & bug spray if you’re spending much time on the beach at night. Thankfully the screened-in porch allows for dreamy (& relatively bug-free) oceanside evenings & mornings!"
