The staff at Hotel Capitán Suizo was beyond outstanding. The care they impart on their guests, the grounds and their hotel is excellent. The grounds are breathtaking and as a small boutique hotel, it is a quiet refuge located at the very end of the busy Tamarindo strip. I highly recommend this property to anyone who wants privacy yet access to everything and anything that touristy Tamarindo has to offer. We'll be back.

Great hotel, right on the beach, near to town center but far away enough to be quiet. Staff was amazing, beach gorgeous. We will definitely be returning!

What a lovely place with very caring staff. The room was wonderful and very well laid out. The ceiling fans and air conditioning really helped with the 90 degree temperatures. The balcony got a nice onshore breeze most of the time. We saw monkeys!!! The proximity to the beach was direct and very walkable to Tamarindo. We met one of the original owners and she shared some great stories of their history.

Has an upscale very tropical feel. The front desk and concierge arranged airport transportation and excursions for us prior to our stay. Very personalized service throughout our stay. There is no TV on the premises. That was a down side for us, but if you really want to relax and unplug, it's probably a plus for most people.

This hotel is a dream spot! Absolutely amazing in every possible way. Gorgeous room, gardens and other property. Easy access to beach and activities. Away from the busy town, but still close enough to be able to enjoy the downtown area. Feels like you are in nature, but in a clean and safe area. We loved it!

Nice, quiet hotel on the beach

The rooms were clean, large and quiet. The free breakfast buffet had plenty of great options (you can also choose to order off a menu). The restaurant was one of the best restaurants in the area for lunch and dinner. The hotel rooms are a few feet from the beach. Free WIFI, body boards, board games, billiards and many other fun activities. The beach has an area just for guests with a security guard. The best part of the stay was the staff. They were very helpful and polite.

Amazing sevice and friendly staff

I had an incredible experience at Capitan Suizo! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and genuine friendliness by the staff. The level of service here is exceptional; everyone goes out of their way to ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable. The employees are not only professional but also incredibly personable, always ready to assist with a smile. Whether it was offering recommendations, helping with special requests, or simply engaging in friendly conversation, the staff made me feel right at home. I can’t recommend Capitan Suizo enough for anyone looking for a place with outstanding service and a truly welcoming .

We booked Bungalows as they were advertising Oceanfront Bungalows. When we got there, we ended up with both Bungalows, without any view. They apparently gave the Oceanfront Bungalows to someone else, yet they charged us full amount and didn't offer any credit and were fairly rude in their dealings. Take it or leave it kind of attitude.

Great, quiet Hotel!

Our stay was great! The pool was beautiful, during the day could see monkeys and iguanas! We stayed in one of the bungalows, which were beautiful. The outdoor shower was great (don't leave your key inside though as the door locks automatically). The town was fun, close enough to walk to but gets loud and thumping at night. The hotel is perfect distance to it, if we stayed in a hotel closer to town, we would have been up all night with the dance music. This hotel was very quiet at night. The staff were nice, the servers and bartenders could be a little surly. There was one server who was fantastic but I can't remeber his name :(. The other guests were a little older, I would say the hotel is child tolerant, but nothing about the hotel is really geared toward children. It was quiet and relaxed and I appreciated that very much.

Tamarindo was the first stop for my husband & I on our honeymoon to Costa Rica and we are SO glad we stayed at Capitán Suizo!! If you are looking for a quieter, more mellow and luxurious but still very convenient option, this is for you! This is the farthest resort along the busy beachfront strip in downtown Tamarindo closest to Langosta Beach so the beach directly outside is not as busy with people, surfers, and solicitors, but just walk a few minutes down the beach if you want that. It’s also only about a 5-10 minute walk to downtown where there are tons of shops, restaurants, bars, coffee shops & the food truck garden. We stayed in a superior king room with a beautiful balcony view and could hear the howler monkeys every morning, saw many iguanas and made friends with the resort’s on-site cats (they’re all so sweet!). We ate at the resort’s restaurants many times and it was delicious. Staff is very friendly & helpful, rooms are beautiful & clean, and lots of excursions available & easily accessible. We do not like to party hard so we enjoyed the peacefulness of this resort a lot.

After spending three wonderful nights at the world-class Nayara Resort in La Fortuna, Costa Rica, we drove to the Pacific coast for a five-night stay at the W Hotel in Reserva Conchal. Unfortunately, the experience was so disappointing that we decided to check out four days early and look for alternative accommodations online. That’s when we came across Capitan Suizo Hotel in Tamarindo, and what a pleasant surprise it was! This charming, Swiss-owned beachfront resort turned out to be nothing short of perfection. The atmosphere at Capitan Suizo is both understated and elegant, offering excellent value for the level of amenities provided. The hotel is impeccably maintained, with lush, beautiful grounds and outstanding service that makes you feel special from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave. We stayed in a beachfront bungalow just steps from the ocean. The bungalow was beautifully furnished, featuring a private Jacuzzi, an outdoor shower, and a raised canopy bed. Floor-to-ceiling windows offered stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, making mornings truly unforgettable. We enjoyed our complimentary breakfast just steps from our bungalow, which was a delightful way to begin each day. The staff at Capitan Suizo were exceptional, providing warm and attentive service throughout our stay, from check-in to check-out. If you’re planning a visit to Tamarindo, Capitan Suizo Beachfront Hotel is the only place to stay. We highly recommend it!

The staff made the trip. Everyone is Absolutely wonderful and feels like family by the time you leave. Great service, great location - easy to get to town, quieter end of the beach. Got to see howler monkeys, lizards, birds and the hotel cats. Simba became a constant visiting our room. Would definitely recommend to anyone going to the Tamarindo area!

Absolutely incredible

Everything about this place was amazing. Gorgeous pool that felt like you were in your own tropical oasis, stunning rooms, and delicious food and drinks! The surfboard rentals were a great way to try out surfing, and the location was perfect. It’s easily walkable to tons of shopping and restaurants but in a more quiet area of the beach. Would definitely stay here again
