Evan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Such an amazing stay. We were there for our ninth anniversary and this place made everything moment memorable. I will not give away our unit but we felt like the king and queen of the area. The room was well lit, clean, bed was comfy like home, the out space was spacious and awesome, the bathroom was nothing short of perfection with a wide mouth sink, filtered water!, and comfy shower/bathtub. The whole room was beautiful designed. The staff were welcoming, helpful and professional. This is my new place to stay when in SB. Thank you to the Castillo staff for everything and keep up the great work.
