Property is old. Restrooms smell like sewer. This is more of a 1-2 star hotel. You are required to pay a cash deposit and upon check out you have to wait 10 min for them to verify room to obtain deposit. Overall, would not recommend it. Hotel tricks you with nice pictures. View is amazing and free continental breakfast was delicious.

It’s way too quiet. I like noisy places, especially the ones with homeless people all around. This place it’s guarded by men 24 hours a day and they don’t let weird people get in. They almost denied me access to the hotel because I didn’t showed proof of staying.

stay at your own risk
i managed my expectations about mexico (i'm traveling from the USA), so for the price i paid...i definitely got it. there were basic things that were lacking (coffee table, towel rack, etc) but it had the essentials (bed, towels, toiletries, etc). the door key is OG metal, and gets stuck in the door all the time...in fact, the door itself sticks and you have to slam it shut (sorry neighbors). other reviews said they had staff break into their rooms and steal, which i (thankfully) did not experience. the location is 10/10, but the building is in poor condition and the staff are completely inept. took me 2 hours to check-in my room due to hurry up and wait by dumb and dumberers. cleaning staff did a great job considering we had 2 dogs - they swept and mopped everyday, and kept the towels and toiletries stocked. food at the on-site restaurant was pretty tasty, although overpriced for mexico and one night made me sick. restaurant staff are also always sitting around doing nothing. service for the overall place = 0. i hear there are "nicer" places to stay, but for a long weekend it wasn't the worst. i felt safe and it was quiet and convenient, with security and 2 private beaches. not sure if i would stay again, but definitely not my first choice.

This property was under construction, the rims have been renovated but by non professionals. Missing the extras like a hair dryer. Room was clean and staff was very hospitable. Food was excellent and service at restraint and bar was very good. Just make sure reservations and number of people I. The rooms are accurate they check and charge for any extra people or guests. Also hard key with a deposit and paper slip that you need to have to check out. Was a pain for no reason. Note take a cab everywhere outside of hotel cheap and easy to just flag down on the street. All in all I’d say nice room for a deal just go with expectations.

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
