Location, location, location!!! Quiet, peaceful, private, lush, and lots of animals to view. We saw different types of monkeys, deer, toucans and other birds right off the back deck and the ocean view was spectacular. The house was huge and very clean and comfortable. We had a chef come one night and he made us a fantastic meal. Mauricio was super responsive to my texts and was able to help us with taxis and connect us to someone on the beach who set up chairs and umbrellas for us. The town was fun with lots of restaurants and shopping. You just needed a car to get out of the gated community we were in since we were at the end. The driveway to the house is extremely steep and quite a workout. The main living area is open, so there is no air conditioning. There are big fans that are supplied plus ceiling fans and all of the bedrooms have air conditioning. We loved everything about the house, the restaurants and the beach and would certainly come back again.

You probably won't ever stay somewhere with more beautiful views. The design is unique and spacious for sure. We enjoyed the monkeys, the toucans that hung out in the bathroom window and the pool was a hit. The stairs...well, they are steep and there are 100 of them. It is also probably the steepest driveway you will ever see lol. I think as long as you dont plan to come and go 5 times a day, it isn't bad. We didn't have a car so we met the shuttles at the top. Mauricio saved the day at check in and out and moved our luggage down the hill and back up. Only two things stand out worth mentioning. One, there is a patio set on the top floor/balcony. It is a table with an umbrella and four chairs. These chairs should be tossed because three kids sat in them and all got what looked like to be fiberglass in the back of their legs. We had to remove the pieces with tweezers which was not fun. Secondly, the oven doesnt work very well...just don't plan to roast a chicken :)

Casa Castillo was incredible. The highlight was the monkeys in the trees while we were swimming in the pool. The house was the perfect size for our group of 13 and had something for everybody, ages 1 to 78. The hill to get to the house is no joke and a 4x4 is a must, but it’s well worth it. Also, the house is laid out over 5 floors, so some people may be walking up three flights of stairs in the morning. Just keep that in mind when picking bedrooms. Regardless, everything was wonderful and we can’t wait to go back.
