So many pros and cons about this property and stay! Overall, we had a nice time, staff were all kind and helpful and very hardworking! The facility needs some help and things between the Sunia side and the Hotel side weren't always clear. Pros: Lovely location, wonderful people. The property was beautiful, very picturesque, the beach access was delightful but steep stairs to get down. The included breakfasts were freshly cooked to order, we never opted for the chilaquiles, but the eggs and ham with fresh veggies, beans and tortillas was plenty of food. The restaurant views were lovely, great cocktails as well. There are a couple restaurants and shops within walking distance, totally worth checking out! Good to Knows: The rooms were simple, no hooks or places to hang towels, no wash cloths, but generally pretty. Our door opened up to the 1st floor yard which we loved. The Sunia beach was often occupied by cruise tour groups, had all the beach chairs, toys, loud music etc, whereas the hotel beach has no tables or chairs to use but was much more quiet and peaceful. The pool was nice, but closes early, and the hot tub was out of order. The bed was not bad but had an uneven frame, we crammed some tissues under a corner so it didn't rock every time we moved or sat down. Cons: The hotel is generally run down. We had no hot water in the shower (5 nights!), it was reported, but never fixed. Rules for the Sunia side weren't clear, some days they let us be there, some not.

Needs help

I booked for anniv. Then 2 days before checkin, i received a cancelation notice,because they tried charging me before hand. Even thou i opted for pay @ hotel on arrival. I had an ocean view room. I spoke to a rep and was assured that my reservation was still good ,so i paided the nxt morning. I was later contacted , that the room was no longer available after i had already paided for room?! They worked with me and later gave me the beachhouse for same rate. Good for that. But no oceanview at all. Whats the point on having the option to pay on arrival. They stated that it was their process to charge 1 nights stay before the stay. Which isnt stated on either hotels.com or castillos del mar website. Very unprofessional. Had to carry luggage about a block from car. When the original room was within steps🙄. Im not picky, but this kind of ruined my anniversary plans! But since it was 2 days from event i couldn't find anywhere else. That being said. The service was slow. And seemed a bit unorganized on the part of the waiters. Ive been to other hotels in the area, and the service was alot better. The food wasnt excellent also, and was $$.Not to mention the beach access is basically paided access. Ive never complained about a place ,but this place needed some better organization. Almost ruined my whole weekend. Basically your paying for the view.

I’ve stayed here before and I have always enjoyed my stay! This last time was a little less pleasant. The staff wasn’t as friendly as they normally are. My friend and I went to the bar at the resort multiple times and each time we went we waited like 10/15 min before we were greeted/acknowledged. One of the mornings I had coffee there and there was a lot of grounds at the bottom of my cup. It was gross. The only thing that saved this trip is the location of the resort… the views are absolutely amazing here.

Complimentary breakfast was awesome as was the property itself. Great location as far as the views. The neighborhood was a bit seedy. Internet was fine as was the bed. Our room was a bit sparse as far as amenities. The overall vibe & the sea views cured all ills. It’s a mom & pop shop & they’re well staffed & they care. I’d go back!

We had a great time staying at Hotel Castillos Del Mar. Our room had a patio with access to the back of the hotel with a great view. The only thing I would suggest them to do is update their locks on their doors. They seem old and outdated as well as their patio doors.
