Book Cheap Hotels in El Castillo

Everything was exactly as advertised. No surprises.

Amazing view of the Arenal Volcano from our large room. Staff was great and very friendly. Food was good. Hot springs were beautiful and felt great. There's a nice swimming pool too. Lush tropical paradise. Would definitely recommend this beautiful place. Cons: Only a couple of things. One, it's hot in Costa Rica, so it would have been nice if they had the AC on in our room BEFORE we opened the door. It was like opening a furnace and took over two hours to cool off. The second thing is that there's not enough light illuminating the sidewalks leading to the suites. Simple sidewalk lighting is urgently needed to prevent someone from falling. Otherwise, it was an awesome facility and we enjoyed our five days there.

Great hotel, friendly service, good breakfast, and very conveniently located

I really like the hot springs and the breakfast. My one complaint was the refrigerator in the room kept making sort of an explosive or popping sound that was disturbing. Another complaint that might be out of their control is the transportation arrangement. They arranged the transfer to the hotel and it was without problems and on time. However, transfer back to the capital was a nightmare. The company, Grayline, added 2 and a half hours to our trip so it took us double the time to get back. This was done without notice or consent.

This property has amazing views of the Arenal Volcano along with great walking trails, pool, food, and great service. The only thing I did not like was I did find the bed to be too firm and there was no AC or fans in the room so it did feel a bit stuffy in the night time.

I had excellent time there. All Very clean, good food. Beautiful views.
