The apartment was generally clean, although there was some sand on the sofas and in a few drawers in the bedroom, which isn't a big deal. However, the washing machine had mold and a strong musty smell inside. Also, the BBQ gas tank was empty, but after notifying them, it was replaced the next day. The check-in process was somewhat cumbersome, as it was necessary to provide credit card details over the phone to a staff member. Although the online check-in works, the access code takes about 20 minutes to arrive. The resort has two pools, but guests have access to only one, depending on the room option selected.

The windows on ground floor were not able to lock so anyone could get in if they wanted to. I was unable to leave my valuables there. The bathroom and shower had mold up the walls and ceilings. The towels were not great but The staff were friendly and the location was very nice.

A very short walk to the beach, and shop,if i needed it. The pool was fabulous, nice and deep. I visited Agnes when it was a quieter time, so i had it mostly to myself. Bottom floor accommodation was great for my week.

Sandcastles 1770 is in a great location - right on the beach. Unfortunately, my room wasn't clean - satay sauce spilt on the floor in front of the fridge and dead bugs on the floor and window sills. The bathroom smelt musty. I mentioned these things to the receptionist when I checked out, but her only response was to say I should have complained earlier.
