We were recently at the Castillo Real, St Augustine, for 2 nights. It was a real find, thanks to TA. The rooms are quite large, with a large., separate dressing room with plenty of counter top space, and a large shower with excellent water pressure and plenty of hot water. The rooms are pleasantly decorated, not 5*, but we're not... More

We stayed at this hotel over this Memorial Day Weekend. We were VERY impressed. Amazingly decorated! Very comfortable. It's incredibly clean especially for an older more established hotel. The stone work everywhere makes you feel like you are wrapped in elegance. This hotel is the perfect balance between elegance and kid friendly. Close enough to the beach for us, but... More

We loved staying at this hotel! Our room was very clean and the staff were great. We only stayed for one night but were very happy with our decision to stay here. There were great restaurants on the same street (we loved Sunset Grille) and it was only a 5-10 minute drive to the center of St. Augustine. Great location,... More

My daughter wanted to get married on the beach at sunrise, She had resided at St Augustine Beach while getting her degree at Flagler College, and S.A. B. had become her favorite beach. Arrangements were made for good deals for the weekend at Castillo Real, and I booked for the weekend plus an extra night. My companion and I loved... More

Stayed here 1 night on May 1 when we went to see Les Miserables in Jacksonville. I have never found a hotel on the beach, this well maintained, for this price. Never. Found rates below $100 on internet, secured ours for $89 through hotwire. The rooms are very large, with a large walk-in shower, mini-fridge and microwave! I was concerned... More

At $200+ a night, I expected this hotel to be outstanding. It was very nice. The staff were cordial and helpful. The hotel and room were tastefully decorated and quiet. Location was good. However, to say that this hotel is "right on the beach" is misleading. There are a number of commercial and private buildings between the hotel balconies and... More

I recently had a block of rooms at the Castillo Real for my wedding guests. At least 50 people stayed at the Castillo Real, and I think the front desk knew most of them by name. The rooms are large; beds are comfortable; and you can't beat the location. But, the staff really exceeded our expectations. Welcoming, accommodating and warm... More
