Top El Castillo Hotel Reviews

Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast

Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent
"The overall set up of the building was very cool. Loved how the rooms were set apart from the main area, in our case, through an outdoor walkway. And what a great common area inside and outside on the deck! The deck overlooked the countryside. The breakfast options provided were wonderful and we felt well taken care of. The decor of the building and rooms was truly unique, loved the white stucco, open beams and coloured glass bead designs! Very comfortable, clean and accommodating stay."

How can I get to El Castillo and get around on a budget?
Scoping out the transportation options in El Castillo is a smart way to keep your trip affordable. The nearest airport is 9.4 mi (15.2 km) from the centre in La Fortuna (FON-Arenal).

El Castillo might not have very many public transport choices so a car rental could be a reasonable alternative to see the area.
