The staff are great and the rooms are old-fashioned. I enjoyed the amenities, and can you believe that you can have incredible drinks and food delivered directly to you on the beach? wow

Our stay was absolute perfection! The location is phenomenal. Walking distance to so much. On the beach. Poolside drink service was a nice surprise. Drinks were amazing. The on site bar/restaurant was always packed and lively. The place is a little outdated but it was clean, which is more important. Would absolutely stay here again and again.

the property was convenient and easy walking to beach and food and convention center. the fact that it was a car show on the weekend created noise issues and was difficult to sleep.

We liked that they had live music outside

10/10

We really enjoyed our stay at Castle in the Sand. The rooms were surprisingly spacious, which was perfect for our family with seven little kids across two rooms. Having a ground-floor room was a huge plus—easy to get in and out. The location was great, especially since the bar was just a short walk away, so we could unwind easily. The kids loved being able to play in the sand right outside back, and they had a fantastic time in the pool. It was also a big help that we could cook our own dinners in the kitchenette without any trouble. Overall, a really nice spot for families looking for a relaxed beach getaway.

In overall very very good condition for one of the older properties. It shows mgr and owner care about a clean room great pool and super staff. Only issue was dusty patio but our stay was in off season. Great job we will be back God willing

As “out dated” as people claim Ocean City to be as a whole, this place knocked it out of the park. It was hard to find anything wrong with this place. You have to REALLY search for something wrong. And what you’ll find is MAYBE a tiny piece of wall paper starting to peel. That’s it.

We've stayed at many beach properies over the years. Some have been more worn than others. We did get a good deal for this weekend, and the rooms are clean. The hotel is definitely worn; some paint and freshening up of the grounds is needed. Front desk staff is helpful. The other staff is not very friendly.
