Hotel El Castillo

Hotel El Castillo is located just 10 kilometers south of the seaside town of Mahahual, home to the popular Costa Maya Cruise Ship Port. The Hotel has been recently abandoned, and the owners have returned to Europe for health reasons. For some lucky entrepreneur, this misfortune will be the key to someone’s good fortune. For decades El Castillo has been a gathering place for cruise shippers and domestic and international tourists seeking a quiet beach club and resort a short distance from Mahahual on one of the spectacular white sand beaches flanking the town. The property has 94 meters of shoreline and encompasses 6000 square meters of sandy beachfront. The built amenities include a circular 300 sq. meter restaurant, a bar, a kitchen area, a two- story hotel with five hotel suites, and two additional longer-stay condominium units. Once a quiet fishing village, today Mahahual has become a small tourist town with charming hotels sharing a pedestrian promenade with a variety of pleasant restaurants and shops. It also offers a stimulating range of water activities including snorkeling, diving, deep sea fishing, paddle surfing, swimming, and simply relaxing on the beach.

The coral reef often known as the Mayan Barrier Reef, is the second largest barrier reef in the world, surpassed only by the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, and extends 1000 kilometers from the Yucatan Peninsula to Honduras. It is home to more than five hundred species of fish and is also home to one of the largest manatee colonies on the planet. Once a year, five species of giant sea turtles come ashore to lay their eggs on the sandy beaches.
