Our room we super clean and extremely comfortable. ##### Natalie Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### AMY B 22 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is charming and lovely with 5 star rooms and dining. The bar had amazing drinks and it would be a very expensive hotel if it wasn’t directly on the highway. The views of the ocean are breathtaking but it’s literally on top of the highway so you hear and smell trucks and ambulances. ##### AMY B Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katelyn 28 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities El Castillo is one of my most favorite places to stay- the views, the staff and the food are all incredible. Highly recommend. ##### Katelyn Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam 17 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Heaven This place is amazing and wow what a view!

The property was pristine along with the pool. Food was amazing every meal. Wildlife is very active (monkeys, birds, geckos, iguanas, scarlet macaws, butterfly’s, frogs etc). I always felt safe on the property and would recommend the largest suit to anyone who wants more privacy and quiet since the other rooms you can hear everything within the hotel. There are 3 beautiful beaches between 5-12min driving distance from the hotel. The staff recommends Playa Ventanas but I would recommend Playa Piñuelas apart of the Marino Bellena National Park. Very quiet beach that’s easier to swim or body board at. ##### Keely Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy 30 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved the uniqueness of El Castillo and how well taken care of we were during our stay.

We had a great view of the sunset every night from our patio or from the spectacular infiniti pool. We also enjoyed dinner at the hotel one night and the food was very good. The included breakfast was prepared fresh to order. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service. I wish we would have stayed longer! ##### Darlene Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joshua 5 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Amazing little hotel We LOVED this hotel. It's beautiful, has great food, check in was easy - but the service really made our stay great. They went above and beyond to take care of us, and the manager Rebeca was responsive (all hours!) to ensure this was the case. So highly recommended! ##### Joshua Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren 26 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Gorgeous view with the friendliest staff!
