We stayed at Sand Castles Hotel in Boracay from Feb. 15-17, 2008. It was our 1st in Boracay. We commend all the staffs for being so accommodating, polite, attentive, friendly, and efficient...most especially to William, who waited for me & husband at Cagban Jetty Port for more that an hour, since our flight to Caticlan got delayed...also, to Jomar, the... more

It's nice to stay at SandCastles Beach Resort. The nipa hut/bungalow style is great for drinking and /or smoking sessions. the "duyan" is great for the tipsy one... =) The staff are so accomodating. They will attend to your needs asap. Reservation won't be a problem since they have online booking. more

Trip Advisor reviews helped us set our expectations right about SandCastles Boracay Resort, or so we thought. First the (outrageous) price during peak season. Due to personal contraint, we could book on Sancastles internet website only one and a half month in advance a bungalow for the peak season in late December. 2 weeks before, I made a check on... more

There are 2 parts to the SandCastles Hotel. We stayed in the nicer Apartments...so we thought. The Apartments seemed to be very nice - new furnishings and right on the beach! However, if you look more carefully...that's when things go downhill. First, we booked a 1-br apartment for 3 people. Last minute, a 4th buddy of mine came...they would NOT... more

We booked the hotel last minute when me and my husband finally decided to go to Boracay. It was really last minute that we booked Sandcastles on the day of our flight. Because of that, we got really great rates from Rates-To-Go which basically made our stay well worth it. The rates online was even less than half the published... more

Hotel staff was nice and attentive, room was clean, but that's about it. Worried about leaving your stuff in room because key to room was just regular key and no safe deposit box inside. Location between boat station 1 and 2, so it's a short walk to D'mall and beach is right in front of hotel. more

Terrible service. No hot water for shower during 4 nights stay. It is over priced compared to other hotels in the area. more

Rule #1 - Arrive during daytime Rule #2 - Don't believe what the website tells and shows you about the "resort". Rule #3 - Don't rely on the feedback here or any other sites as opinions vary depending on people's standards. I consider myself well-travelled, and prefer to stay in boutique hotels in the U.S. and no lower than 4-star... more

Needs renovation for the huts in the back area. No hot water. No water water presure. Weak AC. Noisy behind Hut #1 as the staff live there. Most staff pretty clueless. Owners not at all in touch with daily operations. Staff complained about this and is evident. Dangerous wiring in the room. Restaurant is hopeless with food prices similiar to... more
