Sandcastles - Sandestin

Sandcastles deserves 5 stars, especially when compared to the outer "grill" at the Hilton. The quality of food at the breakfast buffet was surprisingly high, despite the large number of people there at any given time. There were plenty of fresh fruit and other options available, as well as a station where guests could order omelets or waffles as part of the buffet. Our group of 4 had drinks and a large brunch, which came to around $60. Our server was excellent, and we left a $20 tip, making our total $80. I have not dined here before today, but if someone is looking for a great way to start their day at the Hilton, Sandcastles is a solid choice.

I recently dined at Sandcastle Restaurant in the evening and tried their sushi. I particularly enjoyed the spider roll. My parents shared the seafood platter, while my partner liked the Cuban sandwich. We also tried the breakfast buffet, which was good but not exceptional considering the price of $28 per person. Our server was quick to bring the check after only 20 minutes, although I had requested coffee. I have come to expect exceptional service at Hilton hotels, so I was slightly disappointed.
