MediocreDec. 20203.4
Location
Hotel is in process of being torn down but this was not disclosed upon booking. Beach was unusable in front of hotel from construction, no heat in rooms (30’s at night), fridge didn’t work, toilet ran all night, room was not kept up well, hotel 99% empty & yet we were given a parking deck view. Should have disclosed they were under contraction. No room service bc of Covid already a negative but all this was too much. So sad. Horrible Christmas stay.

Amazing trip
Our view of the gulf was amazing. The staff was very friendly. Carly, the bartender, was amazing. Loved that there was a shuttle provided for St. Armand's Circle. Needs some updating but my sister and I will hopefully be back next year.

Reviews about Sandcastle Resort at Lido Beach
“The view would have been nice, there were large construction trucks in front of it and they were pouring concrete at 7 am”
“The grounds, lobby, parking garage, were dirty and in need of more than a coat of paint. The balcony was too small and the railing too high to allow a view of the gulf.”
“The view, customer service was great”
“The place was very run down. Paint chipping and peeling everywhere in our room. The pictures online must be from 1980. The decor was out dated and There were no amenities available. If we were planning to stay more than a night or two we would have up and left. I would not recommend this resort to anyone”
“No breakfast available!”
