Peñas Blancas Hotel & Travel Guide\n
Traveling to El Castillo? There is a variety of apartments and hotels from which to choose. Our database features 49 accommodation options within a 6-mile (10-kilometer) radius of the heart of El Castillo.
Location shouldn't be overlooked when it comes to adventures, so make sure you read about the Arenal Vista Lodge and Hotel Castillo del Arenal, which you'll find within a stone's throw of the city's center.
The The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal is around 8 miles (13 kilometers) from downtown El Castillo. On the other hand, the Nayara Hotel Spa & Gardens is about 7 miles (11 kilometers) away. Some more alternatives in the El Castillo area are the Arenal Kioro Suites & Spa and the Tabacon Grand Spa Thermal Resort.
The larger Northern Plains area is certainly worth exploring too. Travel through Northern Plains's traditional villages. Those drawn to nature should make the time to relish the region's forests. Visitors in this section of Costa Rica often love hiking, shore fishing and bird watching.
Fortuna is 7 miles (11 kilometers) northeast of El Castillo and features Baldi Hot Springs and La Fortuna Waterfall. If you want to head to Fortuna, be sure to check out the Baldi Hot Springs Hotel and Spa and The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort. Or, you could stay in Aguas Zarcas, 25 miles (44 kilometers) east of El Castillo, where you'll find the Hotel El Tucano Resort & Thermal Spa and Termales del Bosque. Should you choose to stay in Aguas Zarcas, make sure you explore the Aguas Zarcas Church and Aquas Zarcas Square.
Consider spending a few hours cheering wildly with some of Arenal Volcano Region's spectators at a local game. Saprissa Stadium is 55 miles (90 kilometers) to the southeast of El Castillo. Stay close to the action at the Hotel Grano de Oro or the Crowne Plaza San Jose Corobici.
Juan Santamaria International Airport is a primary entry point for those flying into El Castillo. You can find it 45 miles (76 kilometers) from the downtown area. For wise travelers who plan to find a room nearby, check out Hampton Inn and Suites San Jose Airport or Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport.
