    Our room had a bathtub, which was a nice treat after a long day 🛁. the hotel is conveniently located right next to the stunning and spacious Playa Junquillal beach in Costa Rica, and there's even a pizzeria nearby for quick and tasty meals.

    The folks were great. The location was stunning and excellent, to a turtle conservation area, convenient to go everywhere. Again, it was just a short stroll away from Junquillal Beach.

    Don’t have any issues at all.

    I had a wonderful time at El Castillo Divertido! Sylvia and Nathan were incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable. The rooftop terrace offered breathtaking views of the ocean, especially during the stunning sunsets. The location was perfect, just a short 5-minute walk down a trail to the beautiful and secluded Playa Junquillal beach. If you love rustic living and the great outdoors, this is the place for you. Highly recommended!

    100% Recommend this hotel.

    The hotel is perfectly located, just a short walk away from a beautiful, deserted beach where you can enjoy the sun and surf. the rooms are comfortable and offer stunning views of the ocean. the friendly staff goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay.

    The lack of Wi-Fi in the rooms can be a bit inconvenient for those who rely on internet access.

    my stay at el castillo divertido in paraiso was absolutely wonderful. the owner and her son were the sweetest and friendliest hosts, making me feel right at home. the location, just a 2-minute walk from the beach, and the beautiful garden added to the charm. highly recommend!

    No a/c, so it got quite hot at times.

The cozy room provided everything we needed, while the rooftop terrace offered breathtaking views. The hosts were welcoming and knowledgeable, making our holiday truly memorable.

    We stayed at El Castillo Divertido and had a great experience. the location was perfect, close to the beach and away from crowds. the mangrove estuary tour was excellent, we saw many birds, fish, and even a baby crocodile. the owner was very helpful and friendly, offering tours and recommending local restaurants. the terrace was wonderful for watching the sunset, and our room had a nice balcony overlooking the front yard. The breakfast was good and the owner was always responsive and welcoming. Cons: Nothing bad to say. 😊.

    The views from the rooftop terrace were absolutely stunning, especially during sunset. The ocean sunsets were truly breathtaking. the hosts were extremely friendly and helpful, providing us with information about the region and showing us around their beautiful garden.

    The room we stayed in was extremely hot, and the small fan provided did little to cool down the temperature. Even at night, it was difficult to sleep due to the high heat.

    We had an amazing stay at a place just 100m from the beach. the hosts, Silvia and her son, were incredibly nice and helpful. the atmosphere was relaxed and peaceful, with a beautiful roof terrace where smoking was allowed. At night, we were treated to a spectacular view of millions of stars. the hotel building was conveniently located just 100m away from the dirt road, making it easily accessible. it was a top address and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Cons: Nothing 😊 It was perfect! .
