Book early if you want to go here. I've got a trip in a few weeks and I'm having difficulty finding dates. Many of their rooms are sold out.
Last year around October I booked within a few days and had zero issues.
I just looked at their website and there are lots of rooms available. That place only will block off rooms if there is a
large poker tournament happening or something similar going on. They always have availability. Which dates were you looking at ? They run under 50% average actual occupancy even in the high season. The rooms there are less than mediocre, even for CR standards.
As an example, May 20-May 21 is sold out (

I'm going to be in San Jose for about a week, so this time I got a nice condo via Airbnb while booking several overnight stays at Taormina spaced a day apart to let the batteries recharge so to speak. I think this will be a better vacation as it's in a good location with great views and a pool (something you won't get with Taormina, Castillo, or SL). To my surprise the trip is not that more expensive doing it like this.
I stayed at Taormina and Castillo last time, and sorry to say it but Taormina blew them out of the water at least as far as internet strength and the comfort of the bed. Although Castillo staff are friendly and the free food/drink via all inclusive is a great bargain, I won't stay at Castillo again after having no internet in the room (contrary to their website) and musky smelling sheets/pillows.
