Guest Reviews
The place is spectacular. The view, the pool, the customer service—especially Roxana—and the food were wonderful.
Nothing… just wonderful.
nos encantó el lugar a nivel general.
Jose and all the staff were extremely welcoming. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and great cocktails to watch the sun setting
Super Lage. Essen vorzüglich. Personal sehr freundlich
We treated my husband's brother to dinner and a night at El Castillo for his birthday and first visit to Costa Rica. It was pitch perfect! The pool, the cocktails, the sunset, the dinner and the two bedroom suite were all ideal for our needs.
Kudos to Abdul and Francisco for making our time especially memorable!
You have to be prepared to take some time to park your vehicle. It all works but it's not...spacious
What a place this is! We reserved one of the larger rooms in the main building - room number 5. Very spacious. The views from the room, the pool and the restaurant area are absolutely amazing - a 180 degree sea view. Staff are fabulous and a special mention for Jose. Sunbeds great, parking easy and it was very exclusive and boutique. It was never busy and we felt we were being looked after well at all times. The restaurant is wonderful (for all meals). We ate there 2 out of 5 nights and went into Uvita for 3 dinners (which is about 20 minutes drive north). We went to La Cusingas Lodge for lunch too - I'd recommend that (about 10/15 minutes north).
I score this as a 10, so these comments do not detract from my rating. The balcony to the room is small and to be honest, we hardly used it. The doors to the balconies - in my opinion - need replacing because they currently do very little to block out any road noise. I suggest these could be replaced with suitable new frames that fully seal and sound protect the rooms. Road noise - this is nothing the hotel can do anything about and again, being honest, it didn't really bother us at all. But you do get the odd heavy truck pounding down the road below the hotel. The access road is quite steep and rather rough. We had a Toyota Rav4 so it was fine. Go slow and watch the bumps! Again, just be aware. It wasn't a concern for us.
Très près du parc Manuel Antonio, personnel très sympa, repas de bonne qualité, propreté
Si , muy bonito espectacular la vista , muy amables .
I’ve never left a review quite like this, because I’ve never felt so appreciative of a hotel’s hospitality before. This hotel is simply the best there is. The infinity pool is stunning, the views are spectacular, the decor is cool, casual luxury, the rooms are gorgeous and it’s spotless. But what makes it really unforgettable is the team. From the front of house-Josè, Abdul, Francisco and Roxanne to the super talented chef, Justin, these guys are next level. They really do care about your experience, they’re great fun, incredibly attentive and very friendly. You feel like you’re guests in their home, in the best possible way. The service is five star.
I had my birthday at El Castillo and they went out of their way to help my husband get a cake ordered and delivered. They lit the candle and sang happy birthday, I was gifted a cute homemade paper rose and they even helped him print a simple card in advance.
I’m a vegetarian and again, they went out of their way to ensure I had a really wonderful dinner every night, beautifully presented, delicious and decorated with flowers. We felt like we were on honeymoon all over again (but it was better)!
We loved it so much that we stayed on an extra 4 nights. Room number 1 (junior suite) is simply stunning, very spacious and has the best views, which only improve at sunset. The bed was incredibly comfortable too. We will never forget our time at this hotel. If you’re thinking of booking, all we can say is, do it. You won’t regret it.
Absolutely nothing.
Tranquility
It was a perfect stay!
Las vistas y la tranquilidad
Las puertas de la habitación no cerraban bien y el baño era pequeño
Der Pool und die tolle Aussicht, sehr freundliches Personal gute Küche preislich eher teuer.
Keine Dusche beim Pool, undichte Fenster daher Strassenlärm auch in der Nacht.
All in all a perfect stay!
It‘s not a big hotel,lying quietly on top of the hill with the prettiest view at the ocean.
The pool has a perfect size if you even want to do some swimming. The staff is just the nicest and the food was delicious. The rooms were not too small and they were clean!
José and his staff would never miss a chance to read our wishes from our lips and making our stay as nice as possible!
If there would be one thing to criticize,it would be the fact that there is no buffet as breakfast. So you order a plate from the menu… Just that only one plate per person per morning is included in the price. So if you order an avocado toast that‘s fine,but if you order some pancakes or something else on top of that,you have to pay in addition…
Sensationeller Blick, großer Pool und tolle Atmosphäre
Leider etwas nah an der Straße und daher Verkehrslärm sowie eine kurze Anfahrt über einen Schotterweg
I really liked the breakfast and the view.
My room had no view of the ocean. Which was a let down.
