Spa Hotels in Ojochal

El Castillo is set high above the most beautiful southern Pacific coastline and feels like an aerial birds-eye-view perched on the mountain, low enough to be outside the jungle, but high enough to see as far as the Osa Peninsula and towards the faraway Isla Caño where we travelled to snorkel by tour. The El Castillo incredible staff, were each so special, exceeding our expectations, without any pressure and total professionalism, kindness, and total regard to attention of the guests. Special gratitude and mention to Carlos, G, Francisco, and beautiful Roxy. We cannot say enough about these lovely people. The infinity pool was our favourite spot, spending hours perched on the edge overseeing the coastline watching the tides come in and go out. Wildlife abounds on the property with monkeys, toucans, scarlet macaws, iguanas, hummingbirds and even cool insects like scorpions, each made us all feel captivated by Costa Rican beauty. The square-based village of Ojochal was a wonderful go-to scene for a fabulous french bakery with gourmet goodies, a great pub named Stan's, and an awesome restaurant named Citrus. We had dinner MOST nights at El Castillo as the food was delicious, chef-prepared and interesting with variety and presented with such flair. Breakfast was always 2 courses, of fresh fruit plate, followed by choice of many hot and cold mains. Fresh edible flowers on every plate. Hats off to the Chef!! During our stay, we experienced an earthquake, in the evening which was totally nuts to "feel" for about 5 seconds of shaking followed by a lighter aftershock in the AM. The power outage whether related or not, was handled so well by Rebecca and her team. Candles were distributed. Meals were not missed, and all the same service kept flowing without any missteps. The experience bonded the guests and the staff, and we all felt very "together" in that excitement which was a slight blip in the flow of the holiday.

This was an absolutely beautiful place to stay. Very peaceful and serene. The villa had a full kitchen but the restaurants nearby were so good we never used it. The beaches were only a 5 to 10 minute drive away. You can go diving or snorkelling from Uvita beach which is 16km away.

The view, interior, food, room

There's an uplifted elegant energy throughout the grounds, from the security guard to the cleaning staff. Our two story unit smelled like rich wood. The layout was excellent design for safety, privacy, and super comfortable beds, chairs. AC was great in each bedroom, fans, curtains all clean and in great condition. The bathrooms lighting, hot water and linen quality were exceptional. It is worth mentioning that there we few mosquitos for Ojochal. The space is ample and well equipped for cooking or working remotely, even if there were several occupants. I could stay here long term. My 14 year relaxed. He enjoyed the pool, and commented on how intelligent the whole plaza was with a pharmacy, spa services, bar, store and restaurant all weaved together with hotel. We cannot say enough about the restaurant and we booked another night at end of trip because my son has to come back for more. Citrus is a gem. Families can relax and enjoy pool day, see many bird and plant species.

Breakfast was delicious and freshly made every day Located in a quiet and peaceful area but close to everything, beaches and restaurants. Very nice pool. Hosts are wonderful.

Great location just outside Uvita centre . Huge rooms . Lovely ocean view . Had a pool and a small “poza” for a quick dip. Hike trails available within the compound. Some wildlife around as well - we saw a sloth,some colourful birds, heard the howling monkeys. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

This is one of the most beautiful hotels I have stayed in. The views and the pool were outstanding.

The breakfast was amazing, the host were super friendly and engaging. Our daughters loved the yoga class. The location and views are simply stunning with a beautiful garden hosting many colorful birds.

It was all perfect with our stay at this very stylish boutique hotel. Combination of amazing views to the jungle and ocean, very quiet atmosphere, fresh and comfortable even during the very hot days, clean, nice food, very helpful stuff! Special attitude to guests, we would like to thank very much to Steven Morera for his kindness and help during our stay!

The team is kind and helpful, always trying to make an unforgettable experience. It was our honeymoon and all details were perfect! The room is wow and huge, at night the team prepared it to be cosy. The view is incredible and the pool is amazing. We did a massage and it was extremely good! The drivers were really nice and pick us up and drop us at the beach for the a morning. Desserts were delicious!
