“Sandcastle Resort occupies a unique position on Lido Beach as one of the last hotels standing before condo development fully takes over. Its greatest asset, in my opinion, is the access to a truly impressive private beach. While the property shows its age, it remains a worthwhile option for those prioritizing beachfront access and reasonable prices over modern luxury.”
