HONOLULU--(Business Wire)--The Castle Group, Inc. (OTCBB:CAGU) today announced that its
subsidiary Castle Resorts & Hotels has been selected as the management
company for the Queen Kapiolani Hotel to handle sales, marketing and
reservations, effective December 1, 2007.

   "The addition of Queen Kapiolani Hotel to our portfolio follows
our strategic growth plan of increasing our inventory both
internationally and in Hawaii," said Alan Mattson, president and chief

Waikiki on Oahu and for Hotel Santa Fe in Guam. By the end of 2007, it
will also manage two properties in Thailand. These additions increase
Castle's portfolio to 26 hotels and condominium resorts throughout
Hawaii, Micronesia, New Zealand and Thailand.

   Named for Hawaii's beloved Queen Kapiolani, the 315-room hotel is
located at 150 Kapahulu Avenue. The hotel offers breathtaking views of
Oahu's two most famous landmarks - Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach. It
is also conveniently located near popular attractions including
Waikiki Aquarium and Honolulu Zoo. Queen Kapiolani Hotel offers a
variety of options for travelers, including standard guest rooms,
studios with kitchenettes and one-bedroom suites. Guests will enjoy
the Garden Lanai Restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
For those seeking meeting facilities, the Garden Lanai Restaurant,
Peacock Dining Room and Akala Ballroom are available.

subsidiary of The Castle Group, Inc. Castle manages a broad portfolio
of resort accommodations ranging from hotel guest rooms to spacious
