Perfect Hotel. We enjoyed the location with a breathtaking view over the ocean, sunset included, with a clean and refreshing infinity pool. Service was more than perfect, very friendly and very personal. Unbeatable was the restaurant - we ate three times there plus breakfast and did not remember having tasted this high quality in a long time. What a great finale for our vacation in Costa Rica.

What a wonderful vacation! I stayed in early February 2026 on a mother-son getaway. We stayed in one of the spa suites and enjoyed the animals and the birds in the tree off our deck. I just can’t say enough great things about this place: the views (incredible sunsets), the food, Happy Hour cocktails, the pool, the friendly and attentive staff (shout out to Francisco, José, Roxy and Noelia). Be sure to rent a car and explore the area. And take advantage of the excursions that the hotel can book for you. Pura Vida! Gracias!

Wow what a place! It was marvellous from start to finish! The views spectacular! The staff are wonderful, we were served by Jose, Francisco and Roxy, they couldn’t have done anymore to make us feel special. The food was amazing each night, the attention to details from the chef is second to none. The rooms were cleaned meticulously too. I can’t recommend El Castillo enough. A truly magical slice of heaven!
