This resort is amazing and beautiful. The staff and owners go above and beyond to make sure you are having a great time. Definitely worth staying there if you're visiting St.Croix . We will be going back. - 9/01/2022

If I could give this resort more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon week 7/12-7/16 and from the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the friendliest staff and the owners. Check-in was a breeze and we were escorted to our room which was beautiful, clean and spacious. I just don’t even know where to start with how pleasant our experience was. We had dinner at the resort cafe the first night and the waitstaff was so friendly and personable. The food was amazing and that beach view just could not be beat. Every time we passed a staff member, they greeted us warmly and asked if we were enjoying ourselves. Every time Ted or Chris (the owners) spotted us around the resort, they greeted us and checked in to see how we were doing. The resort itself, is small and has the most intimate and romantic vibe. The entire property is beach front and unbelievably affordable. Both my husband and I couldn’t believe how amazing it was for the price we paid. I really could go on and on about how amazing this resort is. Our honeymoon was so amazing thanks to the beautiful people of St. Croix and the wonder Sandcastle at the Beach resort. - 8/02/2021
Bill

Sand Castle on the Beach is a wonderful place for lunch or dinner. The menu has enough variety to keep things interesting for repeat visits. Delicious beverages abound, as one might suspect for a beachfront restaurant. Even nice sunsets! - 2/28/2022
Justin

We had a great stay on memorial day weekend. The resort is beautiful and peaceful. The staff and owners are very friendly and helpful. The restaurant has delicious and fresh food. Along with one of the best servers we've ever had, his name was Trevor and he had some great island insights. - 6/16/2021
Christiaan

This was an amazing experience! They have done an awesome job remodeling. The staff was super helpful and friendly every time, every where. Our balcony was amazing! And the beach doesn't get any better. Great sand, great view, great snorkeling. We saw lots of fish, sea turtles and Rays. If we are able to stay in St. Croix again, this is where we are staying - 6/19/2021
Carlie

My husband and I visited Sand Castle on the Beach at the end of June, it was absolutely amazing. The property is meticulously maintained and every single staff member was so kind and accommodating. The on-site restaurant and bar provided great food and refreshments with excellent serving, especially our favorite waitress Ms. Liz.

We visited right outside of peak season and the beach was so quiet, we were able to snorkel early in the day and saw a spotted eagle ray, multitudes of fish, sting rays and even a sea turtle!

Highly recommend visiting St. Croix and this wonderful property! - 7/06/2022
Jazzy

The staff here are wonderful people and they were all incredibly nice! It is also in such a beautiful area. Unfortunately we got a room that had a view of the parking lot so it took away a lot of the beauty of the place. The only thing I could complain about (but still gave them five stars) is their breakfast. It would be better to just not do breakfast at all so that way people can plan accordingly. - 10/17/2022

We stayed at this hotel this month. First off, some background. We were actually supposed to go to Hawaii, but COVID forced us to change plans as Hawaii's quarantine rules prevented us from going. We looked online and found that the Virgin Islands were going to be open during the same time frame, and we took a shot in the dark and booked a vacation on St. Croix at Sandcastle.
That being said, we had a very small hiccup with getting a smaller room than we thought during the first few days, but we were moved when the one we thought we were getting became available.
Aside from that, I have to say that this was not the vacation we wanted (Hawaii) but it turns out it was the vacation we needed. The ENTIRE staff was exceptionally friendly, and this includes the employees at the Cafe as well.
We stayed in a beachfront villa the entire stay, and with the exception of accommodation size for the first couple of days in the smaller room, we loved the larger area. Everything was very clean, and the beds were very comfortable.
If traveling here, understand the COVID has changed a few things, but all you have to do is ask. For this, I mean that the coffee pot, hair dryer, etc. Is not automatically in the room, but again, just ask and they can put it there on request.
We spent a good portion of our vacation relaxing on the beach with a drink in our hands or in the water. The snorkeling is really nice and you can get pretty far out with very clear views of 50 ft or more on good days. The beach is exceptional. Since this is a small hotel, you will find it's not overcrowded, and you'll be surrounded by like-minded people. Bring a tumbler and stand our in the water with your drinks and chat with other folks. Everybody staying there was nice.
I will say that we met both owners. They are very involved in the property, and are so very nice and helpful, just like the rest of their team.
As far as "be aware of" items, I would only say to the future traveler: 1. There is a public park right next to the hotel, and they do like to play their music quite loud. Not much the hotel can do about it. So, as long as you're aware and cool with it, this shouldn't be a problem. 2. The "adults only" part of the hotel is for 16 and up with families. So, if you're expecting 100% kid free, just be aware of that policy
Overall, we would not stay anywhere else if we came back to St. Croix. I wouldn't recommend anywhere else either. We saw The Fred, The Buccanneer, and a few other places dotted along the island. I'm sure they're all nice in their own way, but for us...nobody else has this peaceful of a place, this nice of a beach, and (this part is subjective, but I'll say it anyway) this accommodating and nice of a staff. - 6/29/2020
Frank

Chris and Ted, you have done a remarkable job at making the Sand Castle one of the most inviting and hard-to-leave places we have ever stayed. Thank you so much for all the personal attention. Thanks also to the rest of the staff at the hotel and the cafe. Everyone there went above and beyond to take care of us. After exploring the rest of the island, we can truly say that we have no interest in staying anywhere else on St. Croix. Five stars is not enough. - 8/18/2020
Rebecca

Just got home from a seven day stay. We got married on the beach at sunset during our stay and it was everything!! The owners are absolutely fantastic. Would recommend to anyone! Beaches are great, sunsets are spectacular. 💛 - 1/29/2023
Nicholas

A wonderful resort! The views are spectacular and the hotel is clean, comfortable, and beautiful. The owners are friendly and perfect hosts. The restaurant has Drag Brunch (pictures) which was so much fun. The restaurant has amazing food, but can be a tad on the slow-paced side. Sit back and enjoy the view and atmosphere, don’t visit if you’re in a hurry. Overall, would highly recommend and will be staying again! - 9/25/2022
Jodi

Food was amazing! Cutest property and service was wonderful! The cook Alex is a great chef, the bartender was super friendly and speedy, and the hostess Jodi was attentive and friendly. Great experience from the minute I walked through the door!
A MUST GO!! - 8/12/2022
Daniel

Sand Castle was an amazing place. Ted and Chris were fantastic hosts, giving both a high quality experience and the personal attention one should expect from a small business operation. Nothing was found wanting about our stay and all six members of my family fit comfortably in the Dolphin Villa, as they provided 2 extra beds to accommodate our number. The Oceanside restaurant, The Beach Side Cafe, had delicious specials and standard fare to satisfy any eater, along with a good selection of both local and imported beers, wine and liquors. All in all, this was one of my favorite beach resort experiences of all time and I will definitely be returning. - 12/02/2019
Navneet

Fantastic beach, fantastic food and drinks, fantastic accommodation. And best of all, fantastic staff. Loved our stay here. Went snorkeling almost every day and saw a ton of sea life. - 12/29/2021
Jefferey

Very nice hotel on beach with pool. Restaurant has good food. Only downside is a long walk into town. - 3/12/2022
malik

Love it, Love it, Love it!! If i could give this place 10 stars. I would. All the way down from my room, to the beach and lets not forget the restaurant. Also kept the pools cleans. Met Ted. He is amazing. Barbara also made my stay comfortable & Robert the night security. All are Amazing people & hope to meet them again on my next stay! Ill pass the word around - 3/22/2022
Vern

Our stay at this resort was outstanding, excellent staff in all areas. We had difficulty getting there with American Airline and arrived three days late. The resort not only held are room, they did not charge us for those days, and this is their high session. Thanks for a great vacation. - 4/14/2022
Sebastian

The location was absolutely fantastic. The snorkeling directly off of the beach was really great, and everyone was very friendly.
We would definitely come here again.

The only downsides that we had was that sometimes room necessities weren't restocked by housekeeping, so we had to ask at the front desk. - 7/02/2022
Charlotte

Sandcastle on the beach st. Croix was absolutely one of the best places we have stayed. It was so clean. Can’t say enough good things about staff so friendly and helpful. The owners are precious souls and checked on us daily to make sure we had everything we needed for a most relaxing vacation. The food was delicious and we can’t wait to go back me and my husband and another couple shared the Dolphin room and it was perfect for us. Very comfortable. - 8/09/2022
Shannon

Great place to stay. Great beach, clear water, pretty fish, good food and nice rooms - 7/21/2020
Maureen

What a find! I can’t even remember how we came across this place but I’m so glad we did. A friend and I spent five nights in the Dolphin Villa and it was so hard to leave. Between the location (on the best beach in Frederiksted, seriously we went to all the beaches on the island), to the restaurant on site (the rice bowl is life changing), to the staff (shout out to Jimmy!), to the owners, this is a dream resort. It’s super down to earth, there’s an eclectic group of people staying here, well run, clean and friendly. Don’t bother staying anywhere else on the island (and definitely don’t stay on the east side, it’s way more touristy!) We’re already planning our next trip down! - 2/02/2020
Jason

AMAZING!! If you're looking for a beautiful place to stay with an amazing staff, Sand Castle on the Beach is the place for you. Sand Castle is LGBTQ friendly and everyone (guests and staff) was so pleasant. My girlfriend and I had an amazing stay there and the staff was so thoughtful, caring, and gave us GREAT recommendations of what to do on the island.

This resort is adult only and is definitely the spot to go if you want to relax. Their beach is BEAUTIFUL. Did I mention how good the food was at the beach side cafe? Well, it was DELICIOUS. They also have kayaks and snorkeling gear that is included with your stay, breakfast, and a water cooler to constantly refill your water bottle at no extra cost.

This is the only photo I took while I was staying from the balcony in our room. We were in such bliss that my phone was in the room the majority of the time.

P.S. If you're coming from out of state and need a car, Google Judy's car rentals of St.Croix (another amazing recommendation from the staff). They will pick up and dropped off the car from any location!

10/10 would stay here over and over again. - 8/13/2020
Christopher

Our stay was flawless. The resort is very clean, rooms are well-maintained, food and drinks were excellent, and the beach is one of the best I have ever had the pleasure to relax on. The entire staff are second to none and everyone is genuine and wants all guests to have an excellent stay. They all work very hard to ensure this. We stayed in a beachfront villa which is well-worth the minimal extra money. The owners, Chris and Ted, are ever present and interact with all guests every day to be sure everyone is well cared for. The restaurant is great. I have stayed many places in the Caribbean including places like the Ritz, and the Sand Castle far exceeds any place I have ever stayed. We are already planning another trip back. Chris and Anthony - 7/18/2020
Mercedes

Sand castle on the Beach is a beautiful place to stay the hospitality and the service is amazing, the food is all around a 5 star lovely people the town is quiet and relaxing I really will recommend Sand castle on the beach best place to stay in St Croix ❤️ it’s paradise definitely will come back I really love it I don’t want to go ?? Thank you Sand castle on the beach and the team for an amazing stay very safe place . - 8/15/2020
Kelley

My husband and I spent 6 days here. Everyone so was friendly and helpful, especially since I broke my foot right before we arrived. The beach is gorgeous. The grounds are very clean and employees are constantly working to maintain this beautiful hotel and it shows. The room was perfect and they helped us stay an extra night when we missed our flight. The staff is very knowledgeable about the area and provided us with the numbers for friendly taxi services. We didnt meet one rude person during our entire stay. - 7/19/2021
Cleo

We spent New Years Eve at Sandcastle on the Beach and it was a wonderful way to ring in the new year. Chris and Ted are really welcoming and fantastic conversationalists. We did not stay at their hotel but by the end of our night wished we had stayed with them! - 1/01/2022
Mariah

Absolutely love this place!!! My husband Bryant & I stayed here for our honeymoon a few weeks ago. The owners are amazing. The resort is very clean & the food at the restaurant is delicious. We would definitely recommend this place to everyone! We will be returning. - 5/09/2022
Sean

We decided to spend a couple nights at this unassuming resort on the beautiful west end. All I can say is shocked isn't a big enough word. When you get past the quaint entrance you enter what can only be described as bliss. The beach is pure Caribbean, restaurant, bar and pool are beautiful as we'll. The rooms were very comfortable and very clean, the staff were very helpful and professional.
We also had the pleasure of meeting the owners who made you feel like you were visiting a home away from home. We will 100% be going back. Thank you, Sand Castle family. - 6/28/2020
Andy

This sounds completely inflammatory... I can assure that it isn’t. This vacation for me was completely transformative and the staff here at Sand Castle played a huge part in this. They treat you as if you were family and they’re informative. The rooms were great and clean. We met both of the owners and they’re truly wonderful and gracious hosts. Their beach was great and calming with plenty of umbrellas and chairs. They even have snorkeling gear, although limited. This trip changed my life, literally and when it came time to leave, there was a tear in my eye. In large part due to these great folks. I can’t recommend it enough. - 12/21/2019
Capture

My partner and I had the BEST experience staying here. The staff, especially Tammy, are the best. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. We can't wait to come back and stay the next time we are in SLO. I highly recommend this hotel!! - 2/07/2020
Kallie

We stumbled upon this beautiful property today by accident and we absolutely loved it. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with hellos and sweet smiles. We did the day pass for $15 and it came with pool access, bathroom access, beach chair/table and umbrella. The owners introduced themselves personally (we connected because we are all originally from Kentucky) and they showed us a few rooms for reference and gave us some history on the place. Had lunch and the food and drinks were great. Service was outstanding . Everyone was So friendly and so welcoming. Everything was so clean and beautifully kept. We would recommend this gorgeous place to anyone! - 5/18/2022
Elizabeth

Sunsets and the best beach on St. Croix. Beach was clean and big, water was warm and calm with a beautiful sandy bottom. Room was clean, staff was wonderful and went out of their way to assist with a non hotel issue. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Amenities were thoughtful, decor was great and they have to most adorable Rattan lamps in the foyer. Pool was perfect. Hosts were gracious, helpful, attentive... they are fabulous! - 11/10/2021
Ari

Can’t recommend this hotel enough. Great hotel for a quiet, relaxing getaway. Beautiful beach on the property which isn’t too crowded. The rooms are well-kept and clean. The staff is tremendously friendly and helpful, and the owners, Ted and Chris will make you feel like you’re at home. The restaurant has good food and drinks and priced fairly - as an added touch they can set up a table right on the beach for a romantic dinner! Would love to stay here again next time. - 6/06/2021
Kristina

Absolutely would recommend! From the friendly service to the delicious food and lets not forget the incredible views, we will definitely be back! You'll run into the owners Ted & Chris on site; they are wonderful and a joy to converse with! Any staff member will have plenty of recommendations of things to do and see around the island. Book your stay here, you won't regret it! - 7/19/2021
Dan

Checking in was an extremely easy process. Not only the people working at the resort but the people also vacationing there were extremely nice. Any questions my fiancé and I had they were able to answer it. The rooms were VERY clean and comfortable . and we met one of the owners, he was extremely welcoming! We were sad to leave! We even re booked this same resort for July 2022. - 10/11/2021
Megan

Did a day pass for $15 and it was a great deal! Had so much fun on the beach with a chair and umbrella. No beachside waiter today, but the drinks from the bar were very good just not that big. Overall, we had a blast and I highly recommend! - 7/02/2022
Amanda

Location is amazing for sunsets. You can not ask for a better view. Restaurant that connects to the hotel has great food and drinks. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. I was in the room right next to the lobby so noise was an issue for me but overall experience was great. Beach is clean and a couple miles from the point of the island. - 1/09/2021
Lisa

This beautiful, boutique resort continues to provide the most amazing and relaxing vacation. Whether snorkeling in the clear turquoise sea or soaking in the sun at the refreshing pool or dining in their Cafe, Sand Castle is my happy place. Thanks to Chris, Ted and their great staff! I ❤ my Sand Castle by the Sea. - 11/13/2021
Kathy

We ate at the restaurant. They have the best seafood chowder I've ever had. I am 69 y.o. and have traveled a lot of places. The bread Pudding is also very good. The location is beautiful. Beautiful sunsets due to there location on the west end of the island. Don't miss this place when in St. Croix. - 4/25/2022
Ian

We had dinner here the other night and had such a great experience. The restaurant is laid out really well, not too crowded. It’s right next to the beach so the view is amazing from any table in the place. At night the attached hotel has this really great vapor wave feel to it, with colored lights. Our server Liz was a treat, and we could see the other server Trevor was super accommodating to his tables as well. There’s also a small-ish bar in the back with a few high tops that’s nice while you’re waiting or just to bop in for a drink. Our thanks to Trevin, the manager, for a great time. And I don’t care how full you are, don’t pass up the key lime pie!! - 2/06/2022
Traci

Absolutely wonderful! The whole staff amazing! The entire property was immaculate! Not to mention you can snorkel right off the beautiful sandy beach. Thank you Russell for finding me so I could get a picture of the local iguana. KT pampered us with yummy food and tasty drinks. We loved every minute of it. - 10/24/2020
Tadd

Had awesome meals everytime I come. Very relaxing, always a good time. No more relaxing place on island. Rooms are great - 12/16/2020
Tim

If you are in St. Croix you need to stay here. Great value for the cost. We loved it, every night and day. AA employees should book directly with hotel. The owner is an employee and gives a discount better than Expedia. - 8/02/2020
theodore

Absolutely loved our stay here. It was our honeymoon and while the island itself had some notable issues this hotel made the stay amazing. Beautiful views, excellent and friendly staff, the restaurant attached has excellent food as well. Loved it - 11/11/2022
brianna

Some of the nicest people on island, right here! The resort itself is gorgeous and is only complimented by the owners Chris and Ted's hospitality. They took great care of us during our move here, and I'll always give them business when possible. The restaurant on site is also awesome! - 11/14/2021
Terri

The owners Ted and Chris are AMAZING. So friendly and nice. The entire staff is awesome. I HIGHLY recommend a trip here. - 8/03/2020
James

Paradise Found....An unexpected New Love!
I’ve thought about everything I would write, all the names I would mention of the wonderful people I met, and all the wonderful ‘Aha!’ moments I experienced, but...You simply must go to St. Croix, stay at Sand Castle and let life beautifully evolve throughout your stay! - 1/04/2020
Charles

There are very few words to describe this place. If you are looking for a true relaxing, friendly, stress free place, this is it and there is no other I have been able to find thus far. Everyone, even guests are friendly. The food is amazing, but the view and the feel of true peace is what is their greatest asset. Everyone is welcome. If you come to st croix and do not stay here, you will miss the whole point of island paradise. - 12/19/2019
vicki

Absolutely amazing experience!!! The resort itself is spotless! The staff goes above and beyond to give that pampered feeling! They were so friendly, the owners are always on sight and happy to welcome their guests. We loved that it’s not crowded, we really could relax! We were looking for somewhere special to have our wedding…we just found it!
The restaurant food was the best, the quality of a high end restaurant! I can’t say enough about the Sand Castle On The Beach…you have to experience it for yourself! We absolutely loved it!! Thank you so much to Ted, Chris and Staff for such a great experience!!!! We’ll see you soon! 🥰

I’ve stayed at 5 star hotels in the past and the comfort, friendliness and atmosphere of this hotel meets those standards! It’s small, not over crowded, beaches and water are pristine!! If I come back I won’t stay any where else. Book it! You won’t be sorry. - 9/05/2021
Donia

Absolutely amazing every time I come I enjoy all the beaches this one by far is my favorite - 10/06/2020
Oriana

We watched the beach cam on the website for weeks before going- and it was 10Ox better than we could have imagined! Beautiful, clean, and well-run resort...the owners and staff checked on us with gracious hospitality and attention several times during our stay and helped us feel so welcome, taking care of us at every turn. Stunning sunsets from the beach with some of the best snorkeling we found all week right in front of the resort. And having two pools was such a treat!! Delicious food- had the beet salad several times; the bang bang shrimp was amazing and the bread pudding had us squealing with pleasure! Highly recommend!!! - 12/13/2020
Chuck

Great service. Great views of beach. We caught sunset 2 nights in a row.. The food is ok, it's pricey for the options kinda. However we're vegan so we're just grateful to have REAL, full, meal options for our lifestyle in such a fine establishment. - 9/24/2021
Sean

Great food, great staff, great views and happy breezes. We highly recommend brunch as well.

Update: after having been to beachside cafe many times I can easily stand by this review. - 4/13/2022
Maggie

Sand Castle is the most beautiful resort on the island. The beach itself is stunning and clear and people who aren’t even staying at the resort buy day passes to be able to enjoy it. The owners are incredibly kind and hospitable and make an effort to talk to all guests. They kindly gave me and my husband a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate our honeymoon. The restaurant was being redone while we were there but we were able to catch a few meals in our last day and the food was good. It is a little expensive but the convenience of being on site makes up for it, especially as many of the nearby restaurants/bars are only marginally less expensive (and 1-3 miles away). The Fred, Rhythm, and Louis & Nachos were our favorite spots off site. We would suggest renting a car and the resort gave us a great recommendation that dropped the car off to us right at the resort. Our room was clean and taken care of by housekeeping daily. We had a great stay and if we were to return to the island, would plan on staying here again! - 9/15/2021
Kyle

We bought a day pass to spend the day on the beach here. It was a perfect day. The people who work here are super friendly, the amenities were lovely and clean, and the food was quite good. The best part about the beach at the hotel is that there are numerous trees that provide shade, and there are lots of large rocks near the beach that provide great snorkeling locations. Just a beautiful place. - 7/12/2021
Jermaine

5 star service. From the time you are greeted til you are seated A+ service. My server was amazing, like best I've had in awhile. It was my Son's birthday he went out of his way to make him feel special. - 12/08/2021
Nicole

We were pleasantly surprised with our stay here. The whole staff was SO sweet and bent over backwards to make sure we had what we needed. The room had an air conditioner & fan so it stayed nice and cool since we aren’t used to the heat 😉 They have the most beautiful beach right out the back door. We explored the whole island and my husband and I both agree sand castle has the prettiest beach. We were able to borrow snorkel gear from the front desk and see the coolest fish. The owners also introduced themselves to us and were so dang sweet and nice! The restaurant and bar were both delicious. We will definitely be back many, many times 😍❤️ - 6/06/2021
Jonathon

Simply put, our stay was perfect! One of the best vacations & by far best stay at a resort we’ve ever had. Literally right on the beach. Beautiful resort. Very clean, cozy & quaint. The owners (Chris & Ted) are personable & always making sure everyone is enjoying themselves. The staff was extremely friendly & always accommodating. Restaurant was always delicious (we’ll leave a separate review.) We wish we could leave 10 stars, as it was THAT good! We’ve already decided to make this an annual trip.

For folks not familiar with the area, just plan ahead if you decide to leave the resort. The island transportation services are taxi services. The resort has well known taxi service folks they use, so just ask for info to call ahead of reservations/departures.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. Can’t wait for our next visit! 🤩 - 7/14/2021
Holly

This place was absolutely amazing! Walk right outside your room and you're directly on the beach. The cafe serves delicious food! All of the staff was very pleasant and welcoming. It is adults only so it very relaxing and laid back. Would recommend everyone to go! - 6/04/2022
Lauren

The beach, the staff, and the onsite restaurant were all amazing! The owners take great pride in their resort and it shows!! A must visit if you're ever in St. Croix!! - 6/27/2020
Papi

I'm reviewing the bar. We were not allowed to search in the restaurant as they had no room. It was our good fortune. KT worked they bar like a smooth machine. Doing the work of a normal two bar keeps. All awhile keeping good conversation and excellent cocktails. We've had many Pain Killers over the years. KT's was by far the best. Highly recommend the bar area at Sand Castle. Outdoors, shaded w fans and directly off the restaurant w ocean view. - 5/03/2022

Beautiful location beach is just out side your door. Owners are wonderful all the employees were kind. My only suggestion would be to have a few hooks in the shower to hang bathing suits on. - 9/23/2019
Jacob

We stayed here during covid and I was blown away! The owner was amazing and we rented the large cottage on the beach. The water is pristine and the town was quaint. I felt safe with my husband and girlfriends the entire time on the island. Can’t wait to come back one day ! - 5/03/2022
Theresa

Amazing beach, accommodation, and service. Resort owners and staff go out of their way to meet any request. We toured most of the resorts on the island. Sand Castle is, by far, the best. Thank you Ted and Chris!! - 2/19/2022
Michele

If you're looking for something laid back, and comfortable, this is it. Came here for a 3 night stay to celebrate my husband's birthday. We were looking strictly for relaxation, and that's what we got. Staff was friendly throughout our stay. Restaurant was nice. Prices a little steep, but understandable. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves. - 1/18/2023

Went to St Croix for the first time today. Tried to go to Rainbow Beach but got put off by the workers there. Chose the beach at Sand Castle by chance, and was greeted with great care by the staff and owners. We were immediately taken care of and did the day pass with the hotel that allowed us use of their accommodations, including beach chairs and umbrella for $15/chair for the day. The water and beach were beautiful. The bar and restaurant had great food and drinks. The beach was not covered in rocks/pebbles, sandy entrance to the water. And the palm trees were great. Overall would recommend this place to anyone visiting the island, even if just for a beach day. - 5/18/2022

Gorgeous boutique hotel on the beach! The owners are so kind and happy people! Loved to received a hug from Chris at checkout. I felt so blessed and loved in Sand Castle. The beach is gorgeous and the sunset was spectacular every single day! Will stay again soon! - 11/07/2020

We had a wonderful time at Sand Castle on the Beach! The rooms were spotless and comfortable. Dennis the beach attended went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The one and only negative...I was one of three gals who hair turned green after swimming in the pool. We will be coming back again for our couples vacation! - 5/24/2022

Just got home from my second stay here in less than 18 months and this stay was even better than the last. The owners Ted and Chris are constantly making improvements to the resort so it keeps getting better and better. I stayed for 2 weeks and moved rooms halfway through. The first week was in the Double Queen Studio. It's perfect for two couples (or in my case, two friends that like to have their own beds in separate rooms). The second week I was in one of the three beachfront villas and it was also awesome, plenty of room for my mom and I plus only about 10 steps from the best beach on St Croix (or, in my opinion, the best beach in the Caribbean!). The staff are incredible (shout out to Jordan!). The best part is the great people the resort draws. I made friends during my two week stay that I know I'll keep for life. We re-booked for next February before we even left the resort. Stay here once and you'll become a life-long returner like so many of the other guests I met during my stay. Thanks again for an incredible vacation! - 4/19/2021
