Sandcastle Resort at Lido Beach

The Helmsley Sandcastle has a relaxing, sunny resort flavor, with a storybook seaside setting on 600 feet of private beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Casually comfortable accommodations the colors of Florida. Flexible meeting facilities. Attractive rates. And Helmsley's high standard of personal service. Guest rooms offer a choice of four refreshingly different points of view--North side, Courtyard, Poolside, and Gulf Front. You can spend hours wind-surfing, playing beach volleyball, or swimming in the Gulf. What's more, there are two heated outdoor pools you can slip into as you choose, and our Recreation staff can provide personalized sailing lessons. Plus, the pleasures of outdoor dining are virtually outside your door. There's a convenient Gift Shop on site, and we're within easy walking distance of popular St. Armands Circle, with its fine shopping and entertainment attractions.
