Cleanest hotel EVER!!!

My stay was amazing! My husband and i treated ourselves to a nice hotel for our 3years wedding anniversary and I'm so glad we chose the Sandcastle! Our room was so clean and very modern. I really love the patio and most of all the little restaurant they have. I will coming back to this hotel again!
