When we arrived, the reception was closed, so we had to collect our key from security at the entrance. The weather was cold, and we didn’t have access to the heater because the reception is responsible for providing the heater and TV remotes to guests. Security was kind enough to offer us one blanket when we needed two (for a two-bedroom unit). Unfortunately, the room was not clean. There was a lot of hair on the floor, multiple used tooth floss picks near the TV stand, and dirty ear swabs near the toilet. Additionally, there was construction happening right outside our room, which was extremely noisy and inconvenient. The next morning, when I went to the reception, I was asked for a $40 cash deposit. This was not mentioned anywhere in the Expedia listing or the reservation confirmation. Thankfully, I had cash with me, but if I hadn’t, I’m not sure how I would have handled the situation. On a positive note, the reservation included complimentary breakfast, which was quite decent, and the ocean view from the room was lovely. Overall, there were several issues that impacted our stay, and I hope these concerns are addressed for future guests.

Dont recommend. Trust me
Castillos was outdated. I personally had a bad experience. No hot water, some staff was rude. I got sick from food. Water pressure for shower was non existant. Only thing i liked was the view. I told receptionist girl, she was a young lady, that i would be giving a bad review. I even paid more for an upgrade hoping room (suite) would be more up to date. I took photos but this site wont allow me to upload them

The property was good. The only thing is that they are very limited on power outlets and there was areas that weren't cleaned. But the view was beautiful and the service was great.

We got there and the power did not work in our room. Very disappointed that they did not call and tell us this ahead of time. We were given another less desirable room that had power but no WiFi nor TV. It took two days to get our original room. They did not offer and anything for our inconvience. Great View. Limited number of towels in the room. No wash cloth. No table or chairs in the substituted room. Hopefully we receive a discount considering the room the put us in rate is lower than the rate of the one we reserved. Nice people. Curious staff. Great view of the ocean. Small cafe with decent food and great view right on the ocean

We booked 3 nights for my partner’s birthday. As soon as we checked in, we had to request a different room because the room we were given has no air conditioner. Bathroom floor is wet. Big post blocking tv when watching from bed. No phone to call front desk. Went to front desk and was offered to upgrade to the Jacuzzi room for additional $66 for a night. Took the offer. Filled jacuzzi with water then turned on jets. OMG! Black stuff came out of the jets. Fortunately, we haven’t gone in the tub yet. We drained it and spent a good hour cleaning it. Filled it up again and turned on the jets. The same thing. We didn’t get to use the jacuzzi so the following day, we complained and demanded a refund of the $66. We were told they can’t do it in their system and that I just have to file a dispute with my credit card, which is what I will do. The bad experience didn’t end there. They moved us to a different room. This was our 2nd day. But right after we moved around 10:00 am, power went out. We thought maybe it won’t last long but when we came back in the evening, there was still no power. They moved us to another room where there’s electricity, our 4th room already by then. The problem was that their wifi wasn’t working since the power outage. That meant no internet and no tv because their tv relies on an internet connection. So for 3 days, we had no internet and no tv. They also give you free breakfast but you can’t choose. We ate chilaquiles for breakfast for 3 consecutive morning.
