Take the hotel for the week

Reserve all nine rooms and have the whole place to yourselves — whatever the occasion.

The Full Buyout

Own paradise for a week

El Castillo is small enough that one group can have all of it: nine rooms, the infinity pool, the open-air restaurant and the spa, with a team looking after nobody else. Weddings, milestone birthdays, family reunions, team weeks and wellness retreats all work here for the same reason — for those few days the property is simply yours.

Shared adventures

Strengthen your team

There's no better way to unite a team than through South Pacific Costa Rican adventures — surf lessons, horseback riding, ATV touring, whitewater rafting, waterfall rappelling, and mangrove or sea kayaking. Or keep it easy with cocktail parties by the pool.
