A cross between Out of Africa and Blue Lagoon, Hotelito Desconocido ("little unknown hotel") is among my favorite places in Mexico. Think camping with luxury linens, romantic candles, and a symphony performed by cicadas, birds, and frogs. The rustic, open-air rooms, called palafitos, are in cottages perched on stilts over a lagoon. A grouping of suites is on the sand bar that separates the tranquil estuary from the Pacific Ocean. Ceiling fans cool the air, and water is solar heated. There's no electricity; no phones; no neighboring restaurants, nightclubs, or shopping -- just delicious tranquillity. At night, there are only candles, lanterns, and flashlights to guide you. Rates do not include meals or drinks; a meal plan is mandatory, because there are no other options nearby (making the entire package somewhat pricey). The secluded beach offers a variety of nonmotorized water sports.
Facilities:
2 restaurant/bars; mountain bikes; horseback riding; beach volleyball; billiards; whirlpool; sauna; primitive-luxury spa; sailboards; kayaks; birding tours; hiking trails

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.
