“What a lovely hotel!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I have never been so pleasantly surprised when booking a hotel! This place was fantastic!!! The decor is beautiful, very clean, nice big rooms, big shower, nice vanity area, 2-3 minute walk to the beach, short distance from downtown...I could go on & on! Honestly, I adored this place! It just has so much character! Not like your usual, boring hotel chains. Plus, the rates are great! I will definitely stay here again!

“Beautiful Hotel Right Near Ocean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

I have stayed at the Castillo Real 3 times. I love how close to the water it is--the beach is just a 2-3 minute walk away. The pool is relaxing and the hotel staff have always been very pleasant. The restaurant serves delicious meals as well.

Room Tip: My first 2 trips were great, the 3rd trip was great until I stayed on the weekend and there were fam...

“Beautiful Hotel Right at the Beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Very nice hotel, well kept, with friendly helpful people at the front desk. The rooms are very large, with a nice sitting area and desk. Very large bathroom with separate shower/toilet and vanity area. Tile floor entry area which makes it convenient to remove shoes so as not to get sand on the carpet. The beach is a short walk along a private side street. Many restaurants in the area and about a 4 mile drive to St. Augustine downtown area.

“Great Hotel!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

We enjoyed our stay over MLK weekend. The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable. There was plenty of space to spread out and be comfortable. The bathroom and dressing area was also spacious and clean. A large shower and toilet were separated from the dressing area by a door. There were 3 mirrors plus a make-up mirror so that two people could apply make-up and style hair at the same time. There was a hot tub by the pool that we enjoyed. Towels were provided at the pool area and we had bath robes from the room (although the 2nd night they could only provide one robe). The hot tub was a little heavy on the chlorine, fading our suits and leaving the odor on our skin even after a shower.

We had breakfast at the hotel restaurant. The food was good, the service outstanding, but the prices were high.

I would stay here again.
