El Castillo

This was our first vacation with our pets and the little castle was perfect. The backyard is completely gated and has animal proof cement with a green area for restroom. The tile flooring inside was warm and sturdy enough so we didn’t have to worry about the dogs scratching it. There were pet supplies like bowl, toy and treat left for us. All the human supplies were great too
