“A little piece of Heaven in Antigua”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2009

My husband and I got tired of staying with a host family so we decided to stay at a hotel the last few days in Antigua. We walked up to the doorway of La Casa Capilla and took a tour and booked our stay. Amazingly we were the only guests for the 3 nights we were there. The hotel is located south on the street of the arch (next to Meson Panza Verde). There are 5 rooms, each with a bathroom. We stayed in the room with the glass doorways to look out onto the courtyard. There were only 2 things that we would improve about this boutique hotel: basic courtyard without much garden or potted plants (in comparison to other courtyards) and in our room the shower did not get hot water. The rest of the hotel was fabulous; we felt like VIPs! You get free wi-fi, free calls to the US, and made-to-order breakfast every morning. The breakfasts were delicious! You have your choice between an American breakfast (with pancakes) or a Guatemalan breakfast (frijoles, platanos fritos). The hotel creates a home-like feel. It has a pool, roof-top patio, courtyard, and plenty of outdoor living space. The staff (Victoria, William, Yolanda) were exceptional! They made us feel right at home and were very friendly. One of the things that I liked about this particular hotel was that the entrance was a gated door (so no tourists could just walk around). In addition, once we were in at night, William closed the main door for a secure night stay. Since we were the only guests, we felt like it was our home and we could even play our own music that played throughout the entire house. I almost forgot about the other wonderful things about this location: no street noise from autobuses or tuktuks; it is very quiet, a fantastic view of Volcan de Agua, there is a private chapel there (some people have had weddings there for a small group), and close to a great little restaurant Casa cafe Ana. I highly recommend this boutique hotel for personal service and a private stay!

  • Liked — Personal attention and home-like feel
  • Disliked — Courtyard not as lush as others in the area and no hot water in our shower

We would go back for the breakfasts in the courtyard alone. Wonderful fresh fruit and good coffee what a way to start your day. After a hard day of sight seeing, comeback to Spanish guitar music in the court yard and relax a bit. The staff were helpful and accomidating even getting a lime from the lime tree for our gin and tonic. We would recomend La Capilla to anyone.

“La Capilla Bonita!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2007

Una casa indeed! After a long trip out in the fields... we had the feeling we came home. Great shower. Hot and with pressure. Very peacefull spot. Waking up with the sound of birds. Healthy and delicious breakfast on the rooftop terrace with volcano Agua as a view. Next to the lovely pool we had a private Pilates class with Bette (the manager). We enjoyed the confidence. Could take drinks and write them down ourselves. Books all over the place. And not to forget the sauna! The smell of fire, essential oils... . I could go on and on. It was the perfect end of our trip.

  • Liked — sooo peacefull!

“Have I found Heaven on a stick???????”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2007

Having travelled the planet far too many times....I am skeptical of the glitzy blurbs and razzle-dazzle marketing offered by "unique style" accommodation houses. Too many bad experiences...yet I keep trying to find the perfect local hotel or bed & breakfast.

I am currently lodging at a gorgeous, quaint and very genuine Casa. Called... Casa La Capilla...it really works. And charms you. At least it has charmed this weary traveller. Enough to annoy all my worldly friends with a raze group email.

At long last, I say. Finding this Casa as allowed me to restore faith in travel. I think there are 5 rooms, at least mine is next to the pool and bar and my days are bliss. Hanging out, or just strolling the streets.

Staff are cool...and only appear to offer a bottle opener or advice on a dinner location. Or the sometimes chit-chat when I want it!!! Breakfasts are above average. Rooms feel real. Decor and general ambience.....perfect!!

Even the gardener mows the lawn with his scissors !!!

Yes....I've decided to stay an extra 3 nights here and increase my bar tab and enjoy my renewed enthusiasm in Central America.

  • Liked — a sense of real and genuine accommodation in a real Casa
  • Disliked — not application. It all works
