Capitán Suizo Beachfront Boutique Hotel

Excellent place to relax on the beautiful Tamarindo beach. The hotel offers excellent service and beautiful facilities, surrounded by gardens and nature. Within the hotel, you will see a variety of birds, monkeys, iguanas, and cats. Seeing monkeys was a special experience. Being on the beachfront, there's easy access to great surfing. In this paradise, you can enjoy nature at its peak. From the moment we arrived as a group, we felt at home. Breakfast is tasty, with wonderful cheese, delicious coffee, and various egg options. We also enjoyed the restaurant for several evenings and the food. The bar service has delicious cocktails and tasty pina colada. Our special thanks to the reception staff, Irwin, and Moises from the concierge service. This hotel is the best value in Tamarindo, so we would like to stay here again.

We loved this hotel, we plan to come back.

Really nice location if you want to be walking distance to everything but still tucked away from the most touristy area. Beautiful beach in front with nobody on it. Can rent boards from hotel and surf in front if you are a beginner and want to learn. Staff was really nice and helpful. We had the beach front villa and it had such a lovely view of the ocean and monkeys and squirrels outside in the trees and another bungalow which was also super, window’s everywhere facing the lush gardens. Very serene and beautiful. Would recommend it to anyone who wants peace and quiet and not if you want to party and meet people.

Costa Rica is quite expensive when you compare it to other places. They sure know what to charge for everything and often add VAT. It has become Americanized.

The garden is absolutely delightful, it has the most exotic fruit trees, it's paradise! There are even cats, lots of them, beautiful and friendly, I would have stayed there for a month! :) It's the most peaceful place. And the rooms are, of course, very nice, very spatious, actually the size of an appartment, the bathroom as well. The staff is also great, they were very, very patient with us, even though we were a bit dizzy from the jet lag, had been switching accomodations every day for a few days, forgot stuff in our room at check-out, annoyed them with food that we needed refrigerated and so on. We couldn't even stand ourselves anymore :) Anyway - if we ever come back to that area, we'll be staying there, for sure.

The room was amazing! Loved the setup with an area for the entryway and bathroom that was totally closed off from the main living space. The staff was friendly (some more than others) and the food was good. Loved the proximity to Tamarindo and being able to walk on the beach to get there. The pool was fabulous and it was the only place during our two week Costa Rica trip where we saw monkeys!

Unfortunately, there was a couple below us that smoked constantly and the smoke went right up to our balcony and in our room. Not the hotel's fault at all but it was annoying that we couldn't enjoy time outside on our balcony.

Best section of the beach in Tamarindo, and the property and restaurant are beachfront. Short 10-15 minute walk to town, either via the beach or the sidewalk. Loved breakfast every morning overlooking the pacific ocean! Great staff and lovely grounds. Howler monkeys and a multitude of birds right on the property.

Not the fault of the hotel, but we didn't realize it was so hot in Tamarindo - temperatures were in the 90s every day. The food costs were very reasonable, but the room cost was comparatively high.

five star ocean front property at the quiet end of Tamarindo beach yet only a 10 min walk to town. pristine natural grounds and pool with tons of viewing opportunities of monkeys, iguanas, raccoons and the many resident cats. can’t say enough about how fabulous capitan Suizo is.

hard squeaky bed in our terrace room. please buy tempurpedic mattresses and we’ll never leave!

The staff where exceptional - nothing was a problem and they where always happy and upbeat. Being beachfront was perfect for us and the pool was beautiful to swim in. On the last day they presented our son with a birthday cake at breakfast. We didn’t warn them it was his birthday, they must have noted it from his passport. It was a really special personalised thing to do, and took us very much by surprise! A huge thank you to the staff for making our stay extra special.

There was nothing that we didn’t like

The hotel grounds are beautiful, and well maintained. The staff is friendly and attentive. Food was good, but would like more variety at breakfast. The views and location are great.

More variety at breakfast. Maybe more activities on the beach, but to be fair we did not try the yoga or spa. The pool is nice, but maybe could be refreshed in terms of the interior and or add a hot tub.

The hotel was an architectural gem that looked like from the 1930’s but very up to date. The grounds were very attractive with great detail not to spoil the original ecological site, the beach was part of the grounds and only a minute walk. Dining for breakfast, lunch or dinner was just such a nice atmosphere overlooking the Pacific and lush landscape. The staff were all so friendly and would greet you by name, they all go out of their way to help you in any way. The meals were all excellent and a great value, the specialty cocktails were also excellent. The entire hotel was very clean and run very efficiently. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay and liked it better than the W 30 minutes away which we stayed at for 3 days prior to the Capital Suizo.

The monkeys were a little loud in the morning but you knew you were part of the eco system.

everything was over any expectations. magic feeling

internet was not the strongest but def over the average.
