Hotels with Parking in El Castillo

The host Janine was very welcoming and accomodating, we felt at home right away. She hooked us up with a tour to Cayo Arena which was way cheaper and much less crowded than the tours with the big tourist boats and was generally very helpfull. Breakfast at the beach was also very pleasant and our room was cleaned every day. I would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful breakfast and the location is fantastic. The view is breathtaking, very cozy apartment

Great Location on the beach, spacious room, great staff

Roberto is a kind of guy who is nice just because he really is, not because it is avised to be. He took care of us very much and gave us a bigger apartment with no additional cost. Thank you! The property is less than one-minute walk from the beach and 30 seconds from a shop and restaurants.

The hospitality is incredible. Very friendly and helpful owners, we felt so very welcome here. The room is clean, it’s basic plus great airconditioning. Also, fantastic breakfast. We loved our stay here and would recommend it.

Location! Location! Location… and Janine!! In front of the beach, in a small village. Not touristic at all. The room is on the first floor with a full view on a beautiful and secluded sandy beach, from the 6 windows. It is huge and nicely furnished. We also loved that the bathroom was outside and that we could take our breakfast and dinner directly on the beach. As if the whole beach was ours. And there is… Janine who brings the whole stay to the next level. She is lovely, always with a smile, will gladly book your trip to Cayo arena (a must!) and, if you ask her, she will tell you all about the local life (which she knows for sure, she has been here for more than 8 years and has been managing Tropic ecolodge and Villa Rosa for 5 years!). We learnt so much. And she prepares amazing cocktails too! As for the dinner, we had very tasty fish, lambis, prepared by the small restaurant next door and brought directly to our table on the beach (to be paid directly to the restaurant). Overall a small hidden paradise and you almost feel you are part of the local life too. Stay at least two nights… or more.

All of it! 1. The beach, it was quiet and beautiful steps from our room across the road. A beautiful, unoccupied long stretch to walk each day, the most incredible sunrises happened in front of our eyes. It is amazing to fall asleep to the sound of the waves and a warm, gentle breeze every night 💕 2. Location was perfect. We wanted peace and tranquility, and this beautiful place has it! It's approximately 2km from the main street of Punta Rucia and all the hustle and bustle. At the end of our road was a Manatee sanctuary Linos Pizza-amazing! You must try this place. From the street you can not tell there is a restaurant. As you walk through, it opens up onto the beach. Very reasonable price. One pizza was plenty for 2. We had a table at the edge of the beach and witnessed a magnificent sunset. Soooo good-we went 2 times. Damaris Resto-local owners are so sweet, and they will make you fresh seafood and fried sweet potatoes or plantains. Again, it is a very reasonable price. Blue Island hotel resto-drive through the main road of Punta Rucia to the end and turn right. If you crave americanized food, this is the place. Again, the freshest seafood linguini and shrimp with coconut pie. More expensive here, price matched to Canadian prices. The local mercado(grocery)- sweet little grocery for some typical needs. Water, coffee, buns, cheese, chocolate, cold beer, evaporated milk. RUM :) Reasonable price. Be sure to go to Maritires restaurant ask for Anderson and book the boat rise to Playa Arena Paradise Island for 25$ US dollars ...so much fun! 3. The WiFi and movies in our room. So nice to be able to use the wifi for free! Not like the reaorts that charge +++$$ 4. The daily breakfast-wonderfully made with scrambled eggs, fresh fruit and avocado tomato cucumber and deli meats. 5. The hosts! Johan the owner was wonderful and provided lots of local tips for us to explore. Aurora made us an incredible breakfast each morning with a smile. We will go back again!

We spent a wonderful few days at Coral Hotel Punta Rusia and can’t recommend it enough to anyone looking for a welcoming, well-managed hotel with a breathtaking view! The hotel is simple but really well-maintained, and it has everything you need. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, available for both couples and larger families (we stayed as a family of 11!) The terraces offer a stunning view of the sea, perfect for moments of pure relaxation. A feature we really appreciated was the availability of cold and hot water dispensers on every floor – very convenient, especially on hot days. The included breakfast was excellent, varied, and generous, with fresh and tasty products. We also decided to have dinner at the hotel’s restaurant, and we were pleasantly surprised: the dishes were well-prepared, and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. A special thanks to the owner, who is kind, welcoming, and always ready to offer helpful tips about the area or just have a chat. The staff, composed of local young people, were extremely polite and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. The hotel also has parking for cars and motorcycles – another great perk – and the beautiful La Ensenada beach is just a 15-minute walk away, a lovely and scenic stroll. In short, we had an amazing time with the family and can’t wait to return. It’s a place where you feel at home, but with the sea right in front of you!

What we liked most about it was the great service from the staff . Yocairy was an excellent manager who, greeted us, organised our tour to Cayó Arena and let us shower and stay longer in our rooms. The staff from the restaurant went over the mile to make our stay a wonderful experience.

The beach and location and how peaceful and beautiful it was at all times. We loved our stay.
