The hotel, designed to look like a giant sand castle, is available for booking until it is rained away. The sand hotel offers a twin and double bedroom, while the roofless structure gives guests the chance to star-gaze at night, the firm said. But there are no toilet facilities and people were warned the sand gets everywhere.  EPA/STR
