My husband and I highly recommend this hotel, and if we are ever back in the St. Augustine area, we would definitely stay here again. Why? The hotel was clean and spacious. The staff was friendly and accommodating even though we arrived several hours before the posted check-in time. The staff was familiar with all of the local attractions, and... More

We first stayed at an Ascend boutique hotel in Muskegon, MI and thought it was a rare find. That led us to try the Castillo Real hotel here and we are now hooked on these hotels! The two we have seen are so elegant but very friendly and reasonably priced. Maureen, the staff member at the desk when we checked... More

Great hotel in a beautiful building that is very close to the beach. Large rooms and free parking. We got a great deal online so it was a good value. There are grocery stores and restaurants nearby and it was about 15 minutes from downtown.

We drove the coastal road south from Jacksonville SC. We were amazed by all the extravagant mansions part of the way. Usually these structures are in gated communities, but the road “Ponte Vedre Blvd (1A or 203)” is public, hence you can observe where “the filthy rich” lives. One of the smaller villas even had a beach valley ball court... More

This is the second time I've stayed here, although I've had dinner here several times at the hotel's unexpectedly good restaurant, La Cochina. The rooms are very comfortable and the bedding worth a special mention as it is extremely comfortable. As others have noted the place is exceptionally clean. Some of the bedroom furniture is worn (not the beds) and... More

On the same block as the beach (not beachfront, but you don't have to cross any streets to get there) and walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Great place to bring the family. The rooms and common areas are all marble floors, columns, etc. Very elegant look to it. My family and I had a great time. Comfortably fit... More

This hotels website doesn't do justice for how beautiful it is! We stayed on the 4th floor with beautiful ocean views. The rooms are very unique, extremely clean and moderately spacious. We loved the Spanish theme, big shower, & huge jacuzzi. The balcony was my favorite part though, we watched the sunrise a few mornings and were in heaven!

This hotel is honestly the best on the beach as far as cleanliness and service is concerned. The location is great, although lots of people think it’s right on the beach, it’s on the ocean side of the street and less than a 2 minute walk to the beach. The staff is always so friendly and the rooms are immaculate.... More
