This resort was a saving grace to us during our week long trip to STX in August. Our family of four booked a private villa through Vrbo. The private villa located in Cane Bay / Kings Hill area was a nightmare. No way we could stay there. Vrbo helped us find Sandcastle for the remainder of our trip which I booked through Expedia which was 6 days. We stayed in the Dolphin:
2 bed, 2 bath private villa which also has a full kitchen. (This was great as we had $400 in groceries purchased for our vrbo.
We enjoyed staying here. All of the staff were great. All were very friendly and offered great service, right down to the sweet ladies in housekeeping!
This place has a lovely atmosphere. I liked metal sculptures and tropical plants. The restaurant was great. The view incredible! We ended up eating there at least once a day or ordered cocktails from the bar. The beach is beautiful , beach service was fantastic! (The painkiller cocktail, is amazing!)
On the third day of our trip tropical storm Ernesto hit the island.
All the USVI had no power, and many residents without water. The resort had back up systems. We didn’t experience any interruptions to power or water. We were very thankful to ride out the storm here at the resort as so many people/ businesses did not have the same experience. The generator ran until the day before our departure. I think it’s truly sad that in this day and age residents were without power, water, or both for so long after a tropical storm.
