Its a safe place, excellent service from the restaurant, and check in. On the other hand they do inforce a bracellet on some of the guests and not all.. why? i never got a straight answer.... They are pet friendly... and will allow dogs in to the pool... i am sorry but with small children this is a big no-no...... more

This could be two reviews, one compared to what your used to, and one compared to what you'll find in san felipe. The outside grounds are kept clean and it has an appearance like any economy motel you've seen in the middle of nowhere on some long road trip, the rooms are small, the beds....well again, mabe not what your... more

I enjoyed my stay at the El Capitan, and the restaurant there is great food and reasonable priced, with great service and attention. Room was little pricey, as I expected little less cost, food there made it even out. Basic type room, with large shower. Brochure is pictured exactly as what is available. One block from beach and Malecon. Made... more

We have always had; clean room, hot water, lights and TV. Restaurant is good but we always either grase for dinner or El Nido... more

Bed sheets were clean, floors and bathrooms clean. Personally think that $70 a day is too much for this hotel. Good location for walking... more

The rooms are not fancy, but the beds were comfortable and bed linens clean. Great shower, lots of hot water!! The pool was heated and clean. However, the lounge chairs could have used... more

The rooms are basic but clean and are relatively cheap (US$35--there is a $5 key deposit as well, don't forget it when you leave). We should have gone directly across the road to the Costa Azul (it must have been better)--this was a Wednesday and the restaurant was therefore closed (no free margarita as was advertised--but who would miss one... more
