We recently stayed at Beach Castle Resort and had a wonderful time! The location right next to the private beach made our days super enjoyable. The unit was spacious and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, though a bit of updating wouldn't hurt. The staff were incredibly helpful, organizing our shuttle to the airport and offering great local dining suggestions. However, we did notice some mold issues in one room during a friend's stay, which was a downside. Overall, we loved our trip and will certainly be back!
