What a gem. A beautiful spot with lovely grounds and a pool. A perfect location for watching birds and the sunset. Close to several towns and beaches so great if you have a car but want a quiet spot to come back to.

Doug is a very nice host. The cabin was in the trees, in a beautiful landscape, and I could hear and see frogs, parrots, and other birds.

Everything is perfect here. The rooms are well appointed with quality bathroom fixtures and there is also a fully equipped kitchenette. As the hotel is new, everything is in outstanding condition. In addition the staff are excellent, nothing too much trouble to deal with for you. Excellent value for money.
El Castillo is a stylish adults-only boutique hotel set high above the Pacific Ocean in Ojochal.

Authentic boutique hotel perched high in the hills of Ochojal with breathtaking views over the wild ocean. All staff were terrific and helpful and positive - clearly a well-run operation. Lovely breakfast with abundant delicious fruit accompanied by toucans in the trees of the hotel grounds and resident iguanas.
Our room was huge with a lounge area and loved having both balcony windows open to let the breeze flow through when the daytime heat soared. Beautiful pool big enough for lengths and lounging. Glad we chose El Castillo over Hotel 360 nearby which we visited and was soulless and corporate.
Clearly a little bit of investment is needed to upgrade fixtures and fittings at El Castillo as some of the furniture and bathrooms are a little dated - but it’s a gem.

This place is surrounded by natural beauty of waterfalls, river, jungle flora and sounds of the jungle. There seemed to be many attractions and activities to do. We chose to stay out to enjoy the amazing surroundings and relax!
