The feeling of walking through the castle if you went to Oz - we were amazed at the size of this epic space! The decor had an attention to detail that is second to none. The food was delicious and plentiful. We truly felt like we popped in from a fairytale. A must see view. Dean Yacobucci2025-02-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had the privilege of traveling to Costa Rica and staying at the Castle of Oz. I have also spent time living in the Amazon jungle with the World Health Organization. The experience at the Castle gives you the beauty of the unspoiled tropical rainforest combined with the luxury of a plush vacation resort. Services and seaside activities are close, and when you retreat to its hilltop location, you enjoy a private setting. My meals were terrific and the accomodations grand. A very special place. alex mcpherson2025-02-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stayed multiple times. Love it! The hosts have amazing hospitality, it is super clean, and they had a bunch of different choices of activities to do while there! Rob Tweeddale2025-02-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is an incredible destination! A castle… in the middle of the Costa Rican jungle was an experience of a lifetime! The rooms are insane and the level of service is 5 star all the way!

From The amazing woodwork, hand carved gargoyles, the views the outside kitchen, pool , the FOOD…the unbelievable food was amazing ! … This trip was truly a trip of a lifetime! We had so much fun With our daily itineraries going for wheeling Stopping halfway down the mountain to have daiquiris, boating through Canal to see the monkeys and sloths, Every day was a new adventure. Can’t wait to go back! The staff at the castle was second to none. Everyone was so very nice and accommodating. This trip was everything and more! Thanks Jen and Mike for truly exceptional vacation ! Geoffer Lopez2024-10-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Charming place! sue blain2024-10-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely amazing! Only complaint I had was I couldn’t get shower to have warm water. I even let shower run for 5 minutes, checking every minute. Oh well, short shower was all I needed! Our driver, Charlie was the best. Some of the best meals prepared every single day with a surprise chocolate birthday cake! The chocolate cake melted in your mouth, I crave it now we are home 😋 This had to be one of my favorite places to visit and absolutely the favorite place to stay. Thank you for a memorable vacation Raine Conti2024-03-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My now husband and I choose Castle of Oz as our wedding venue, and I am so glad we took the risk as we were unable to tour before signing (we live in the US). The pictures do not do this palace justice; the castle is a work of art. Castle of Oz proved to be a true dream venue, enchanting us with its charm and leaving an indelible mark on our special day. Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend this venue to couples in search of an unforgettable wedding experience.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

EXCELLENT Based on 11 reviews Kaitlyn2024-07-29Verified I wanted a WOW for my 40th birthday party and the castle did not disappoint! The 12 of us comfortably fit with plenty of room the spare. Mike and Jen were super responsive during the booking process and answered every question I had leading up to the trip. And having housekeeping staff was a real treat. They even do your laundry for you! The entire castle staff were outstanding. They took care of every little detail and made us feel right at home. Having Chef Diego prepare our meals was perfect. He made delicious food and honored every little request. You never need to leave the castle if you don’t want to. Big shout out to Charlie who coordinated all the transfers, airport pick ups and drop offs and rides into town. I seriously can’t thank Mike, Jen and the castle crew enough for making my milestone birthday such a success. My friends and I are going to be talking about it for years! Tom2024-07-20Verified I stayed at the Castle for my bachelor party and Mike and his hosts were nothing less than impeccable! There was a group of 14 people that stayed there and everyone had a really great time. The Chef was on point and made delicious meals. The pool area was pristine and the rooms/furniture were all top notch. It will be one of the most memorable stays of all time. Kushal2024-05-19Verified The castle is amazing! It is clean and spacious and has everything you'd want so that you don't have to leave. Ian2024-03-25Verified I had high expectations for our stay at the Castle of Oz based on the Host's description and all the positive reviews , but the castle, all its staff and amenities, and the Host EXCEEDED all of those expectations. The castle offers a one of kind experience that's perfect for a large group of guests no matter what the occasion is or what type of vacation you're looking to have. We had a group of 18 guys staying the castle for a bachelor party, and we had an unforgettable experience there. Mike & Jen and all the staff working at the castle went above and beyond to take good care of us and also get us to/from our excursions on time. As for the private chef, Chef Diego and his assistant were KEY in making our stay the castle--and our overall trip to Costa Rica--so amazing. Not only was it super convenient to have a private chef make all our meals on the trip, but every single meal that Chef Diego and his assistant made for us was incredible--from their ceviche to their chicken tandoori. Korey2024-03-11Verified Stayed at THE CASTLE for my best friend's bachelor party. Mike & Jen's entire team was incredible. They always made sure we had everything we needed, booked activities, chef services, shuttled us back and forth from town back to the castle, and responded to us at all hours of the night. Absolutely unforgettable experience. If you're looking for something that will blow your mind instead of a basic cookie cutter bachelor party experience....BOOK THE CASTLE! Huge shoutout to Fabian, Charlie, and Fernando for keeping everybody safe, showing us a great time, being SO accommodating, and saving the day on multiple occasions. This is the team you want having your back when you're planning a weekend for your best friend and when your entire crew is relying on you to make it an epic weekend. Can't thank those guys enough. Looking forward to seeing them again soon :)Much love and of course...pura vida!!✌️ Micah2024-02-16Verified mike & jen’s place is AMAZING! my boyfriend and i booked it for a week and everyone there is wonderful. the entire on staff site is so great & helpful. will absolutely be booking again! Corinn2024-01-25Verified Ready to be spoiled on an amazing trip? I booked a corporate retreat for my company & it was above and beyond what I could have dreamed. The house itself is expansive, with amazing views, so many bedrooms, and the decor is unlike anything you've experienced....straight out of a movie. Chef Diego will cater to your every need, and let me be honest, I am super particular about my food. What a treat to have an in-house chef on vacation to provide fresh local cuisine! We were lucky enough to spot a few monkeys in the trees during our stay, and the host provided us with all arrangements and recommendations to see other wildlife, go ziplining, take surfing lessons, and where to go for happy hour and the best pizza...bc sometimes you just want pizza on vacation! The transfers to and from the airport were well-coordinated and the hosts were so accommodating to all questions & requests. It was priceless to not have to do any research or planning of my own! I can't wait to come back for longer! Jason2023-12-16Verified Such a special space for any occasion. They were very very prompt with anything I desired. The chef was incredible. Every one of the staff were great. The whole stay way magical. A++++++ Julie2023-10-26Verified WOW, WOW, WOW! We had 16 of us girls for a Bachelorette party and it was beyond what we could have hoped for. The Castle is just huge, the bedrooms are so large, and everything was pristine clean. The bar and pool area felt like we were at a luxury resort but all to ourselves. It is in a peaceful, private setting with beautiful landscape and views, toucans all over and we even saw monkeys. The owners Jen and Mike went above and beyond, set up all excursions, chef services (Chef Diego is amazing), and spa services. We did not even have to leave, but the free shuttle service was convenient and just quick drive to Jaco for the party scene! Jen even had decorations and party favors for us when we arrived. The staff was wonderful it was like we were all treated as princesses for the stay. This is ideal for a bachelorette party, cannot wait to come back and maybe one of us will get married here! Karthik2022-11-13Verified This place is definitely unique and picturesque. It’s nestled in the hills and jungles and is a little bit of trek to get to but so worth it and reasonably close to town. The rooms and beds were very comfortable and the staff of the property from the maids to the workers to the chef especially were incredible. The chef Diego made some of the most delicious meals we have ever had and no request was too much for them to handle. Highly recommend this place looking for those looking for an unforgettable, unique, and king/queen like experience. The staff was very helpful and responsive to us throughout or stay and wish I was still there to be honest. Thank you for a great experience
