Frommer's Review

Set on an open space with good views of the peaks surrounding El Valle, this hotel has both budget accommodations and spacious "family" suites, as well as manicured gardens and a friendly atmosphere. The German who runs Los Capitanes was once a sea captain himself, hence the name. There are three stucco buildings. One building is divided into polygon rooms that are differently sized and decorated; some buildings are kid-friendly with bunks and cubby-hole type rooms; one building has a loftlike, second-floor sleeping area perfect for kids. Rooms on the second floor have balconies. All rooms here are clean but modest. Around the property are seating areas with outdoor tables, and they have one of the best (and most popular) restaurants in town. Note that the owner has begun organizing fun, full-day mule rides for guests, which no other hotel offers.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; kids' swimming pool; bicycle rental; Internet room; room service; laundry service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
