Customer Reviews (5)

3/22/2013 - Nice place. Very nice and accommodating staff. Nice outside bar staff, good food, on premises gift shop for misc. items and nothing beats being on the beach! OH yeah, and a private car shuttle into town. Posted by Don (Cincinnati, OH)

3/8/2013 - While the outside of this resort looks like something built in the 60's, inside the rooms were completely redone and were very nice. Location is fantastic, best pina colada's I had the whole week in Florida came from their bar. Posted by Sue (Sparks, MD)

6/28/2010 - The accomodations were quick and easy and no questions asked when checking in. Had a great stay. Small, four story complex, and the rooms are EXTRA big compared to others we've stayed in. Posted by Joe (The Villages, FL)

3/28/2009 - Love the place. Posted by Jim (New Britain, PA)

3/27/2008 - We love the Helmsley Sandcastle. Posted by Jim (New Britain, PA).

About Helmsley Sandcastle Resort

The hotel features spacious guestrooms, two heated pools, two restaurants, a fitness center, a pool bar and an outdoor cafe. Special touches, such as a complimentary morning newspaper, coffee maker, small refrigerator and complimentary WiFi in each room, make for a winning combination.
