Lovely staff and place!

We came here for my mom’s birthday and it was exceptional! The grounds are stunning and the home is spacious. The biggest treat was the 10 staff members that offer beautiful service and extraordinary care. The Chef Minor catered to our vegetarian/pescatarian group better than we’ve ever had anywhere in the world. The food was so beyond anything we could have imagined. We spent our days playing tennis, swimming, using the water slide and hanging out. A perfect venue to bond in nature and to feel like a king or queen. A trip of a lifetime. Thank you Anabelle and everyone for making us feel so welcome. ”

El Castillo de Esparza

This property was fantastic! It is perfect for a family or corporate retreat. The set up allow for everything to be planned on property from meals, to pool lounging and tennis. There is not much to do very close by, but if you are looking for a place to unwind with a larger group, this is it!. The staff, particularly Annabelle and Josue, were so accommodating and responsive to all requests. Couldn't have been better”
