I was told by the travel agent that this was a 3 star hotel. went to Jamaica for a wedding with the family. We booked the all Inclusive package. There is no chain on the room door. There is no safety deposit box in the room. You can use the hotels safe for a fee of 3 dollars per day.... more

I would recommend the Sandcastles Hotel....its brilliant!! Its in a prime location with loads of shops, bars and restaurants, nightclubs. The beach is just at the back of the hotel...no need to walk far!! They do food and drink at the complex which is really nice but can be pricey (they ask for us dollars!!) Rooms are clean but basic...but... more

I would never recommend my worst enemy to stay at the SandCastle Hotel!! Upon arrival to the hotel, my first impressions were not brilliant but thought let us see what the rooms are like before ranting and raving. After waiting two hours to be allocated to our room, well I never... First impressions of the hotel not brilliant but wiiling... more

I was lucky the security guards put me in touch with Quick, who was a godsend to put me... more

We decided to visit Jamaica and plumped for Sandcastles because it looked great and fell within our budget. The great thing about Sandcastles is that it encourages you to go out, see the 'real' Jamaica and meet real Jamaical people who in 99.5% of instances are lovely and friendly. You do get many people asking for money, however a polite... more
