Sarasota
Helmsley Sandcastle Hotel Virgin Holidays’ view
T 144
he sand is beautifully bright and sugary soft on this 600ft stretch of private beach and you can hire a watercraft to drift
along on the waves. Recognised by the American Shore & Beach Preservation Association in 2009 as one of America’s best beaches, this really is a must-see paradise, and right on the door step it only makes this pleasant and inviting hotel even more appealing. There are lots of dry land activities too, including bicycle hire. Alongside the attractive pool area is the pool bar where it is customary to gather at sunset for complimentary hors d’oeuvres. Later you can enjoy a meal in the Candlelight restaurant or perhaps stroll over to St Armand’s Circle and sample one of the bistros there. The hotel puts on live entertainment (Wed-Sat) all year round and the staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms have recently been revamped and brightened bringing a little of that famous Gulf Coast sunshine in!
