This place is absolutely amazing! The view is breathtaking, and the peacefulness made our stay incredibly relaxing. We had the best time here. Leonardo, the host, is super friendly and went out of his way to help us find a tour to Corcovado for the next day, which we really appreciated. The breakfast was very good, with a nice variety of options, though it was more continental in style. I would have loved a bit more of a local touch to really capture the Costa Rican flavor. Nonetheless, the quality was great and we really enjoyed it! The atmosphere is wonderful, and I truly love this place. If you're looking for a serene escape with fantastic views and great hospitality, this is the perfect spot!

El Castillo Luxury Boutique Hotel-

Ojochal (Near Punta Mala)

El Castillo is a stylish adults-only boutique hotel set high above the Pacific Ocean in Ojochal.

S

From

El Castillo is set high above the most beautiful southern Pacific coastline and feels like an aerial birds-eye-view perched on the mountain, low enough to be outside the jungle, but high enough to see as far as the Osa Peninsula and towards the faraway Isla Caño where we travelled to snorkel by tour. The El Castillo incredible staff, were each so special, exceeding our expectations, without any pressure and total professionalism, kindness, and total regard to attention of the guests. Special gratitude and mention to Carlos, G, Francisco, and beautiful Roxy. We cannot say enough about these lovely people. The infinity pool was our favourite spot, spending hours perched on the edge overseeing the coastline watching the tides come in and go out. Wildlife abounds on the property with monkeys, toucans, scarlet macaws, iguanas, hummingbirds and even cool insects like scorpions, each made us all feel captivated by Costa Rican beauty. The square-based village of Ojochal was a wonderful go-to scene for a fabulous french bakery with gourmet goodies, a great pub named Stan's, and an awesome restaurant named Citrus. We had dinner MOST nights at El Castillo as the food was delicious, chef-prepared and interesting with variety and presented with such flair. Breakfast was always 2 courses, of fresh fruit plate, followed by choice of many hot and cold mains. Fresh edible flowers on every plate. Hats off to the Chef!! During our stay, we experienced an earthquake, in the evening which was totally nuts to "feel" for about 5 seconds of shaking followed by a lighter aftershock in the AM. The power outage whether related or not, was handled so well by Rebecca and her team. Candles were distributed. Meals were not missed, and all the same service kept flowing without any missteps. The experience bonded the guests and the staff, and we all felt very "together" in that excitement which was a slight blip in the flow of the holiday.

It's a hidden gem. We regretted to have only stayed two nights. The view is amazing, there are tucans flying around in close proximity, the pool is large and there were only few other guests. The food is delicious, too, and the owners are very approachable. Waiters are very friendly and it's quite close to the Marino Ballena National Park. Book it, you won't regret it.

The view, the room, the facilities, the food, the atmosphere... Everything was amazing in this hotel. You literally are bathed night and day in the jungle. We discovered a tree full of toucans and monkeys just as we arrived in the room, from our terrace! The staff and food were also wonderful. Completely worth your money, highly recommend! (We came in late August, and still totally worth it!)

There's an uplifted elegant energy throughout the grounds, from the security guard to the cleaning staff. Our two story unit smelled like rich wood. The layout was excellent design for safety, privacy, and super comfortable beds, chairs. AC was great in each bedroom, fans, curtains all clean and in great condition. The bathrooms lighting, hot water and linen quality were exceptional. It is worth mentioning that there we few mosquitos for Ojochal. The space is ample and well equipped for cooking or working remotely, even if there were several occupants. I could stay here long term. My 14 year relaxed. He enjoyed the pool, and commented on how intelligent the whole plaza was with a pharmacy, spa services, bar, store and restaurant all weaved together with hotel. We cannot say enough about the restaurant and we booked another night at end of trip because my son has to come back for more. Citrus is a gem. Families can relax and enjoy pool day, see many bird and plant species.

The property was beautiful. A small, intimate property where we got to watch monkeys in the palm trees and the ocean from our bed. It was wonderful. The food was great - the restaurant served a great selection and breakfast was perfect. Eddie was a star on reception and in the restaurant. It couldn’t have been better.
