The staff at Capitan Suizo was just wonderful in every respect! Property is beautiful and beautifully maintained. Beach is private and quiet. Away from the craziness of Tamarindo, but close enough to visit it easily. Lots of fun activities and concierge service is excellent. We especially appreciated the ladies at the breakfast/lunch service … SO friendly and helpful. Thanks all, especially Natalia!

Nothing. We would return in a heartbeat. Service in restaurant was a bit slow at dinner first night but it was busy and I think our waiter was still learning. Not really a complaint … we were very happy with everything.

I recently stayed at the Capitán Suizo Beachfront Boutique Hotel in Tamarindo. The hotel staff were outstanding throughout my stay, from the front desk to the restaurant and other areas of the property. The on-site restaurant served delicious food, and there were always chairs available by the pool and the beach. The hotel is located on the quieter end of Tamarindo beach, which was a nice change of pace.

The Capitán Suizo Beachfront Boutique Hotel was a nice place, but it had a couple issues that made it slightly less than perfect. The pool was always full of pollen and leaves(it is surrounded by beautiful trees and they did clean it regularly but it seemed they never could catch up. Also, there were too many kids running around and screaming,.

Our family enjoyed our stay at Capitan Suizo! It met and exceeded out expectations. We had upstairs rooms with balconies- that were beautifully designed and a pleasure to come back to. The service was so friendly and every one made our stay a pleasure. The grounds, the pool and the location on the beach were perfect. I would have disliked staying in Tamarindo town as it is quite touresty and loud but we were far enough away to feel apart from it. The restaurant served a great menu and we enjoyed eating there most nights.

Great rooms! Very clean, comfortable and spacious. The location in relation to Tamarindo town was great too - quiet and out of the way, whilst still being close to the amenities of the town. The grounds were also absolutely beautiful and clearly really well maintained. The service was as also wonderful - with all the staff being extremely friendly and hospitable.

Parts of the hotel were quite tired. The furniture in the communal areas was worn and could have done with being updated. Usually such details wouldn’t be the end of the world, but when you’re paying very expensive rates for a room you do expect a certain level of luxury. The food at the restaurant at dinner was average at best and therefore we felt it was overpriced. We also struggled to get help from the front desk with the coffee machine when we couldn’t get it to work, which again was a little frustrating given the price paid for the room.

The location, atmosphere and staff were perfect. The general relaxed friendly vibe was consistent from the moment we entered the hotel to the minute we left. You feel like the employees are well trained, well treated and well selected. They have genui9ne pride and love for their jobs.

More variety at breakfast would be appreciated for longer stays. Also there was nowhere to sit and enjoy a drink or a coffee with friends after 10pm.

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.

We liked everything. 😀 The hotel grounds were beautiful, the room, with a sitting area, was great. The restaurant was so good that we decided to eat both our lunch and dinner there each day. The pool was beautiful and kept clean of flowers by the staff all throughout the day. And best of all, the staff was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely recommend this place to others!

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.
