We have been traveling to Myrtle Beach for many years. We own a timeshare in Surfside Beach a mile from the ocean.
We have spent a great deal of time looking at many different hotels. Our biggest requirements are an ocean front view, comfortable, clean accommodations, and accessibility to our favorite restaurants and golf courses. Each year we have ended up booking the Sandcastle, because it fills all of these expectations and more. We have a view of the ocean, with the spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and an occasional siting of dolphins swimming right off the beach.
The staff is exceptional. The front desk personnel are always polite and professional, allowing us an early check-in, if possible, or taking our cell phone number to let us know when our room is available.
Last November, when we checked in, the remote for the TV was not working, and the Maintenance man was there in five minutes,(I regret I did not get his name.)When he couldn't get the remote to work, he said he would replace the TV. When we returned from our day of fun, we were delighted to find a brand new flat screen TV in the living room. The Room Attendants have always done a great job. We have enjoyed the indoor and outdoor (heated) pools.
Thank you Sandcastle- we'll see you again in 2012.

Room Tip: We don't care for plastic, so we bring our own drinking glasses! We prefer one bedroom suite.
