Small hotel for comfy staying. I like personal of this place, especially owner Gilberto🙌 He helped us in any questions- about some things to buy for convenient living at hotel, because it’s new one, about life in Uvita and people there) Apartments with a kitchen and living room in one space, bedroom and bathroom. One conditioner in the bedroom, sometimes at noon became hot) Big balcony, where I had practice yoga every day, fans at living room and balcony. We had all for long time living there and it’s grate) Swimming pool, where you can relax. Majestic sunrise and sunsets there, I woke up without an alarm clock to the sounds of birds singing at 5 am- it’s magical and amazing!)))

We had an amazing stay ! Great location, quiet at night, clean, and a fantastic property. We did not have a car, and got around to restaurants, waterfall and the national park by foot. Sylvain answered all our questions and helped us get the best holiday in Uvita.

El Castillo Luxury Boutique Hotel-

Ojochal (Near Ballena)

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

S
SUSAN
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.
