We booked El Castillo based on location and the amazing views. Overall, it was a very good boutique hotel and we appreciated being in a small hotel to minimize being around too many people due to covid. The pool and outdoor area has one of the best views in Uvita area, it’s absolutely gorgeous. Downside is that there are only 6 loungers so if it happens to be a day where all guest are outside, it’s difficult to get a lounger, so I woke up early to snag them right away. The hotel is clean and airy, we were even upgraded to a larger room upon arrival which was amazing and offered an ocean view/balcony which was so perfect to watch sunsets. The bed was not the most comfortable and they only had 2 pillows on the bed, my husband and I both like having 2 each. When I asked for another pillow they didn’t have extras. Otherwise, the hotel rooms and hotel itself was clean and had great amenities. Shower/bathroom huge and nice. Overall, the hotel was great. The one HUGE downside is the food, it does not match the price or level of the hotel. My husband is a foodie and cooks for private events, so I know he is more critical than most, but even I noticed that the food was lacking. We only had dinner here one night due to the food being too pricey for what we were getting. We tried lunch to see if it differed and it was probably one of the worst burgers I have had. If they upgrade food, we would be back, otherwise the food was a big game changer for us.
