Exclusive Island
Beach
A five minute boat ride away
It started with a dream – the El Castillo staff were captivated with the idea of providing a private island beach experience for hotel guests. Today it is a reality – Garza Island beach is a short five minute boat ride to an undeveloped tropical island directly across from El Castillo. Complete with lounge chairs, a makeshift bamboo shelter for cooking and shade, and hammocks – the perfect combination for a perfect day.
