2 day stay for family of 6

We enjoyed our stay at El Capitan. Dave the owner was great. He communicated with me a few days ahead to ensure our house codes were ready when we arrived. He was easy to reach and shared good recommendations for local eats, places to see and things to do. It was very nice, he checked in with us to see if we needed anything and was on site. Our stay was quiet and private. We felt safe and everyone had a good time. The place was clean and had amenities such as pool, sauna and jacuzzi.Thank you for a great stay.

Peacefully away from home.

We had an amazing time. Dave, the owner greeted us and helped ( we had an unexpected hiccup with the booking) and resolved it. Getting away from our busy and hectic lives with an autistic child and for her to not have a single anxiety nor panic attack because we were literally like at home said no much about the amazing “Red Panda” room!

A HIDDEN GEM OF PUERTO NUEVO

If you’re in a small town like Puerto Nuevo and want a nice, private, safe Hotel, look no further! The owner- Dave is an amazing person! Anything we needed he got us… and even offered to drive one of his cars to avoid being pulled over in a flashy car. The rooms have a beautiful ocean view, three Jacuzzis on the property, very nice sauna, an infinity pool, and patios all over with amazing views of the ocean. Don’t forget, this is a boutique hotel so you’ll feel more at home than in a hotel room. Perfect hotel to book if you’re going as a couple or a lot of friends! The whole place will be yours.

I had a fantastic stay at David's place, The Capitan Boutique Resort! He was incredibly nice and helpful, which made my experience even better. As someone who travels a lot, I can confidently say that this place had everything we needed. From a water dispenser and coffee brewer to plenty of extra pillows and blankets, everything was thoughtfully provided. The fully stocked kitchen had all the essentials—spices, pots, pans, and cooking oil, dishes, utensils—making it easy to cook our meals. I even went out to buy hygiene essentials, only to find that David had already stocked the bathroom with everything we could need, including shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The rooftop pool was a highlight, offering stunning views of the beach. The rooftop area also featured bathrooms, showers, two jacuzzis, and a sauna—everything was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. It’s clear that David has put a lot of work into this place. The location is perfect, just 7 minutes from Puerto Nuevo and very close to all the stores and restaurants. I will definitely stay here again!
