This place should not be listed on any booking site. Only as air b & b’s. I picked this place because of the location and amenities, Ocean front with a stove and close to bars and restaurants. Unfortunately I was not able to check in at the location. This place is not a resort! No computer and no way to contact or locate your reservation. This information should be listed and noted by ******* prior to my arrival,So I was stranded in Jamaica on my birthday, out of the country, with no where to stay. An ******* representative did assist me, in finding a new location. I was so anxious I agreed to the first location. Which meant I didn’t get the stove, beach front, and location to certain restaurants that I had planned my trip around. Did I mention it was my birthday. Ok. I did contact sandcastle the day before to let them know my flight arrives at 5pm, so I wanted to know how to check in. He said, “as long as you’re here by 10pm, you should be fine.”I arrived around 9:40pm. And yes, the young lady at the desk left at 10pm. Which meant I had to go find somewhere else to stay. I ended up staying at Sago Palm, which was a really nice hotel. To this day, 1/28/25, I still haven’t heard anything from sandcastle 6 days after my check in date. I am doing everything in my power to remove this place as a resort location. This should be illegal, it’s definitely scam likely! I’m not saying your experience will be the same, just make sure you get an exact address before you head to Jamaica.

They over booked the place when I got there the receptionist ask for my name and after that she simply told me there’s no reservation for. I then called the booking number several time before I get a text saying “ I’m driving will contact the front desk” Approximately 47 minutes later I was then told by the front desk that my reservation has been moved to another hotel. When I drove over to the new hotel I was then told that there’s no rooms available except for one night stay at another hotel. I booked for Two night stay at a decent location and after an extensive wait time to be checked in I was offer 1 night stay at a location which didn’t seems safe in my opinion. I requested a refund on the 27th December 2024 and still haven’t been contacted by anyone

Stay away
Wouldn’t recommend. Beat up and poor quality. service is even worse. A lot of issues to get on the beach even though it’s right next door. Stay away

Our apartment was clean and nice 👌 fully equipped. I would definitely stay there again. I also liked how everything outside are in close proximity to the property.

There was no hot water in the unit. No water coming out of the hot water spigot. Mildew on walls in the unit. I was unable to shower and no staff on site up to noon time to fix the problem.

Sandcastles is in a great location and is a good property if you are looking for something outside of the typical marble resort. The security staff and gate staff were wonderful and personable. The unit we stayed in was awful (some are privately owned and rented, some are owned and rented by the resort. I don't know which one ours was). The kitchen was terrible, very little in the way of cookware and some of the dishes were cracked and broken. There were no glasses available , just plastic that had seen better days. Not even a sharp knife or pair of scissors available. The twin beds only had a sheet, I had to use one of our towels to cover my kids. This was extra annoying as we only got a couple of towels to begin with, which were never replaced because the room was never cleaned. We requested bath mats but they never came.
This property has so much potential, it's too bad that our experience was in apartment D7.

No one knows what is going on. Check in was a nightmare. They didn’t have enough towels and wash clothes in the room.

I stayed at the property 11/24 - 27. I have not seen a housekeeper in those 4 days. I had to live with the garbage and dirty linnen. Thank G-d i was alone. The backdoor and windows were closed BUT NOT LOCKED! I didn't realize untill the next day that it was a sliding door. The apartment is on the ground floor. Anyone could have opened the door and window and enter the apartment while i was asleep on Friday night. That is unacceptable!
