SCOB is a really wonderful place to stay. We picked it just BECAUSE it is NOT a resort and because the write ups on different sites (including GoStCroix.com) discuss its hominess, openness, beach, and friendly staff. If you're looking to Vacate (the purpose of a Vacation), this is the place. If you're looking for golf courses and tennis courts and... more

Sand Castle on the beach is my favorite beach. I lived on St. Croix and spend a lot of time there. Their staff is so nice and helpful. If you are just visiting the resort/beach, you can purchase a day pass for only $5. This will include all of your snorkel gear, use of their pool, restaurant, and a lounge... more

Pricey, very tacky, owners live and think inside the box. They will never get what it will take to make this beautiful vacation spot. They do work hard, but they just do not get it! more

If you are in customer service or the hospitality industry, you know this is a statement beyond your control. Where to start? Hmmm-------the transfer driver from the airport tried to charge me for 'included' transfers. Not the problem of the SCOTB? So, then who is responsible for this package from this hotel? Altho my name was on the reservation, I... more

This was an awesome vacation! Sandcastle isn't a 5-star hotel, nor does it pretend to be. It's quiet, safe, and a great place to just relax! If you're looking for clubs, dancing, and night life, I would suggest staying on another part of the island. Local folk were very pleased when they heard where we stayed and that's always a... more

We arrived late at midnight and were tired, hot and hungry. Simone made us drinks and dinner, while we sat by the ocean moonlight. That's when we knew we were home. Our bed was good & the a/c worked well. They have two pools and a nice calm surf beach for swimming. Husband had a kink in his back and... more

As another reviewer stated, the trucks and music can be a little loud in the mornings. But that's true anywhere on the island that you go, unless you're looking to pretend you're on your own private island where no one actually lives. Once you get out of the snotty resort areas, there's loud music EVERYWHERE. It's just part of the... more

We booked SCOTB because it was the cheapest, we could find. But it was a little depressing staying there. It is a located on a nice beach in the middle of nowhere and the rooms are tiny and it felt (I guess) like a prison, as there were shutters in front of the windows, so it was impossible to look... more

First I have to disagree with Mozart57 - You get what you pay for - his profle says he only stays at the best locations - we picked Sand Castle because it was the least expensive hotel in St. Croix, and offered almost no addons - but we knew this and planned to travel the entire island, not stay at... more
