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!

Very Wonderful, Amazing find last minute. Especially arriving in the pouring rain at night. Francisco was super inviting and then Carlos came to us as well with much hospitality. The chef put out amazing food for dinner and then we woke up the following morning to magnificent views and wildlife while eating breakfast by the pool. The breakfast was delicious and just as impressive as the dinner! A secret hideaway, should not be missed.

The resort itself is quite beautiful. The infinity pool was gorgeous. Dining room was wonderful. The chef is outstanding. Absolutely outstanding. The room was gorgeous. We didn't rent a car however, and it was very inconvenient to get anywhere. You can't really go walking because the place itself is on a very high hill with very steep roads around it

The property was spectacular with gorgeous views. The parking was not sufficient and I was asked twice to move my vehicle. I detected sewage smell in the night and that was a big turnoff. It was noisy with a big group visiting when we stayed. I expected more for the price. The staff were outstanding.

The property has amazing views and the staff are engaged and friendly. Many are from the local area as the hotel has a policy of training them which is a great idea. It did make for some funny moments but it was never a problem. Rooms are big, clean and very comfortable. Food is some if the best we had in Costa Rica.

My husband and I felt so comfortable and welcomed at El Castillo. The staff was excellent!. Starting with Steve who greeted us the first day and was there throughout our stay. He was very polite and always willing to help. Luis and Rebecca the manager were also very helpful and offered advice and help with every question. We had our laundry done there, and they had it back to us the next day. Food was excellent and drinks delicious. The pool and living area are lovely. We loved the views from the pool and our room balcony. Love this place!

First the hotel is OVER 4 hours from the airport… just so you know. However, it’s is very quaint. It’s more like a couple haven if you want to get away n have some alone time. There is NO tv in the rooms. Room is well kept, nice and smells fresh. The staff is very nice. Hotel is very small about 9 or so rooms. The food is good, presentation is amazing. They will give you information about doing different tours n will also set them up… lastly, the view is breathtaking, one of the most beautiful I have seen.

The El Castillo Hotel was our favorite of all the 5 hotel's we stayed in over a 2 1/2 week vacation in Costa Rica. The minute we entered the beautiful lobby, the view almost knocked me over! The furnishings are so welcoming, then the infinity pool grabs your eyes looking like it flows to the ocean! The manager, Rebeca Villalobos has such a helpful, friendly yet professional staff who make sure your every need is met. Luis, Nicole and Sidely were wonderful, as everyone was. We stayed in Room 5, corner second floor, and the view of the Pacific and surrounding jungle like greenery and flowers were magical! The furnishings beautiful and all 3 of our rooms were spotless. There are only 9 rooms and none close to each other so we never heard another guest. It seemed the desire here was for peace and tranquility and that was obvious. This hotel was at the end of our trip and we had been on many tours throughout Arenal, Monteverde and Manuel Antonio so we never left the El Castillo enjoying all our delicious meals there and spending most time around the quiet pool or walking the grounds. We were sad that our trip was ending but were even more sad to leave this place of Paradise, the El Castillo. I hope we will return one day. With gratitude and thanks for the memories!
