Summary: This place is spacious and gorgeous and takes the Pura Vida motto to heart. It easily accommodated our large group of 16 adults. The staff were helpful, happy and part of our family by the time we left. Our dirty laundry magically disappeared and returned clean and folded or hung. We made use of all the outdoor amenities like the water slide, pool, hot tub, putting green, and tennis court. Our mornings started with coffee on the veranda and then a full breakfast was served buffet style. We had lunch on the veranda or by the pool. We had drinks on the upper terrace at sunset every night. Then we went to the dining room for some of the best meals we have ever had. Live entertainment and a day trip were arranged for us. We simply could not have asked for more. This was a visit to remember for the rest of our lives.

Summary: Our stay was awesome! We had 15 people and there was more than enough room for everyone. There were even empty bedrooms. I can't say enough good things about the staff. They were there to take care of everything for us. Transportation was arranged even with our last minute plans. The food was the best. The chef even made a HUGE birthday cake for our birthday celebration. Ana made sure we had everything we needed and even had a local children's dancing group come in and perform for us. Josue went with us when we left the property as the perfect tour guide. He even took us to a local spot to swim under a huge waterfall. Everyone had a great time and we all want to go back. We go on trips with our family each year. This was one of the best. And the service cannot be topped!

Summary: I have visited this amazing property several times over the years with good friends for a long weekend of kicking back in a warm climate during the miserable tail end of a New England winter. This is a great place to do exactly that. Our group of friends have visited for purely fun times with our wives and also been down for an annual economic summit with business colleagues. Either way, it is pretty near impossible not to relax and de-stress here whether here for personal time or to solve the worlds economic challenges. The property has something for everyone; tennis, a beautiful pool with swim up bar, a crazy water slide (yes, a bunch of 50-60 year old guys flying down the water slide did happen), a lovely poolside building for lunch (seats 20 or more) and a multi-level chip and putt with 6 hole locations. Inside the main house there is a media room, poker room, library, billiards table and a dining room on the outdoor portico looking over the distant bay. The staff will arrange day trips to rain forests, deep sea fishing out of several local ports, boat trips up the many rivers full of crocks and tropical birds, zip lining, historic properties and shopping. That said, while we have gone out and done many of these fun things; there are years when we just hang out and enjoy the property playing mini golf, putting contests, poker games, tennis and floating in the pool with a Dark n’ Stormy and a fine Cuban cigar. Leaving the best for last, the staff at this property are AMAZING and very attentive to all the guests. The swim up bar is always manned and dinning can be coordinated with the head of household. The cuisine is world class and most everything we enjoyed were locally sourced and thus very fresh. I cannot begin to say enough about the chef at this property. He and his team are prepared to provide you with everything from a pig roast to fresh fruits used in concert with local seafood/lobster/; wonderful soups both hot and cold; homemade breads and desserts; breakfast lunch and dinner are always a treat. If you have something special you would like the kitchen to prepare; you can count on a wonderful dining experience. If you are interested in getting away from the madness of the tourist crowds and looking to spend some quality time with friends and family or if you are looking to combine business and relaxation in a beautiful place; this is just that place.

Summary: El Castillo de Esparza was a dream come true vacation!!! It was a once in a lifetime vacation where we didn’t have to worry about one thing for the entire week! Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner were prepared and served to us everyday for the entire week. We had a Full-time Bartender throughout the day that would prepare whatever type of drink we asked for and would make any type of kids drinks when asked :)! The staff cleaned all bedrooms and bathrooms daily and had same day laundry service when needed! It was super easy to set up tours throughout Costa Rica! Transportation was arranged for us, a staff member came with to help when needing anytime of translating through Costa Rica. A few tours we did were Zip Lining in the Rainforest, Monkey Beach, and Crocodile Tours. All we would recommend and do again! This is the perfect spot for any type of family vacation where you can truly enjoy and relax without having to worry about anything. Our kids had so much fun and were always entertained :)! The staff was amazing, very attentive and super nice! You could tell they truly wanted you to have an amazing vacation. The food was incredible, the Chef was amazing and was able to prepare meals for both kids and adults. Made the kids special desserts every night! We also brought extended family and the castle was so big that each person had there own space and could easily mingle or relax. I give this place 5 stars and hope to come back every year!

Summary: A very relaxing vacation. From the moment you arrive and are greeted by the amazing staff handing out cold drinks you know you’re in a special place. There’s no stress and everything is right there...dining, tennis, pool, games of all kinds, great movies, a wonderful masseuse and lovely areas to read and unwind. Went with friends and we all loved it and look forward to returning sometime soon.

Summary: I travelled to Castillo de Esparza with my 12 year old daughter and promised her a fairy tale vacation in a Castle. The staff and experience at the Castle was five star and made us both feel like Princesses! All of our meals were made to order and the staff helped my daughter collect mangos from the beautifully landscaped property. On the last night of our stay, the chef made a custom cake with a horse design for my daughters upcoming birthday. The cake rivaled anything I could have bought for her in Manhattan. We spend gorgeous sunny days swimming in the pool and she spend hours on the massive waterslide. We took trips to go ziplining and to see the crocodiles. One day we went horseback riding on a nearby black sand beach; the ride included a path through a mangrove jungle. It was amazing! All of the tours were recommended by the staff; who had personally experienced each of the adventures. I felt completely safe entrusting myself and my daughter to these adventures knowing the Castle staff had vetted their quality. One of our favorite activities was visiting a nearby jungle area where you could feed monkeys, with fruit prepared by the Castle staff, and walk along the awesome beach. At night we watched movies from the extensive in-house selection and played pool and billboards in the beuatiful living room. We’ve been to many Caribbean destinations and Costa Rica and Castillo de Esparza rivaled them all. It’s Paradise.

Summary: We were completely impressed by El Castillo and its staff. Well worth the trip to CR and to Esparza (easy drive or they can provide pick up/return service). It was indeed a luxurious Castel in the hills. The food was varied and prepared perfectly by the chef, served with style by the friendly staff. All amenities were as advertised and made our stay an escape from the day to day. One night we arranged a fireworks display (staff coordinated), several nights we had local musicians play during cocktails. The putting greens and elevations was so unique. Tennis and/or pickle ball was a blast on the tennis court. We can't say enough other than we will be back next year- we deserve it!

Summary: The house was great we had 16 family members and had room to spare. Ana was excellent, she made sure we got everything we wanted and had the bus ready for everywhere we wanted to travel and see. Josue went with us on all of our site seeing and was a great tour guide and translator. I would definitely visit again.
