Everything at Capitan Suizo was amazing. Perfect location on the beach. Stayed in bungalow with beautiful garden views. Beds very comfortable. Outdoor shower took a little getting used to but after a couple of days my girls and I enjoyed listening to the sounds of Howler monkeys and birds while showering. Breakfast was delicious and we ate outside watching the ocean every morning. We would lay out in the lounge chairs under a little shade steps away from the ocean and from the restaurant/bar. When we weren’t on the beach we swam in the pool which was super clean. Had a full body massage one day at the spa which was incredible. Went back to spa on another day for a collagen facial. All the staff were so gracious and welcoming. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. If you are coming to Tamarindo, you will thank yourself for staying here!

We stayed in the 4-bedroom family suite and absolutely loved it. There was lots of space for our group, with a large common living area that made it easy to spend time together. The dining table was generously sized, and we really appreciated the ample seating on the balcony/terrace.

The fridge is a larger bar-sized fridge, which worked perfectly well for our needs. The coffee and tea station was a lovely touch, and having a sink in the common area was very convenient. Overall, the suite felt spacious, comfortable, and very well designed for families or groups.

We had an absolutely amazing time in Tamarindo staying at the Capitan Suizo Boutique hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff were exceptionally polite and accommodating, and the food was excellent. After exploring the whole town, we concluded that this hotel is likely the nicest place to stay in all of Tamarindo. One of the staff members even went so far as to retrieve a recipe of a dish we were particularly fond of, so we could attempt to recreate it at home. 5/5 stars all around.

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.

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.

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.

great place to stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Capitan Suizo! The hotel was so clean and the staff was incredibly friendly! There was some construction happening next door, but I honestly didn’t think it was that bad. The howler monkeys are your alarm clock each morning and entertainment throughout the day. The proximity to the beach and town was so easy too! Will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone going to Tamarindo!

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.

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!

This was my favorite hotel to stay at in Costa Rica. It is a little out of downtown area which makes it quiet and relaxing. The staff was very friendly, the breakfast in the morning was awesome, the dinner at night on the beach was very relaxing, and the animals that you see at the hotel are amazing. I can't wait to get back.

Such a wonderful place! Private, special property with amazing staff, excellent and affordable food, delicious drinks- right on the beach! A full buffet breakfast is included with homemade bread - made at the hotel- inlet station and fresh local fruits. A nice cool pool and gardens with fruit trees, that encourage Costa Rican Wildlife (howler monkeys!) to live. My husband and I had a wonderful time staying at Capitan Suiza with an easy walk into Tamarindo to visit other restaurants, a fun night life, and surfing lessons! Concierge will book trips and let you rent beach equipment (snorkels, surfboards,etc) along with a little library, board games, outdoor pool table and ping pong!

Room was gorgeous, clean, comfy beds, and large bathroom. Our only regret is not staying longer! We will be coming back for sure!

This was a really beautiful property, the location to the beach was amazing! The grounds were stunning as well! The staff was friendly and very helpful! It was nice to have the option to check out boogie boards right at the hotel, or you can rent surfboards right there as well. Our transportation to our next location didn't come until 3 hours after check out and they allowed us keep our luggage in a secure location and even had showers available if we wanted! This was a beautiful property!

The place is very beautiful and the service is great. All the staff was very friendly and made us feel right at home. I want to give the special shut out to the manager Rosa who went an extra mile to offer us freshly cut aloe juice from their garden when she saw that we got sun burned on the beach (it works great when it’s fresh!). It’s also a great place for surfing lessons. The only minor improvement I would make is the quality of pillows in the rooms which weren’t the greatest. We would definitely choose this place again, it’s great for a family vacation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Perfect Tamarindo Resort

We considered a few resorts for our 5 day “parents escape” and we are SO glad we chose Capitan Suiza over the others (jardin, the coast, etc). Pictures don’t do this place justice. It is perfectly situated between the busy Tamarindo town and the quiet Langosta beach so that it’s close walking distance to restaurants/shops/bars but on a MUCH less crowded part of the beach. It was *right* on the shoreline and we loved eating the amazing complimentary breakfast in the open air restaurant w ocean views, evening walks through the tidepools and sitting on the padded loungers reading in the shade. We had an end unit ground floor room (27) which was spacious, private and comfortable. The tile and wood furniture added to the authentic feel. The entire property is immaculate and the lush gardens are so well kept they really added to the Costa Rican jungle vibes and made the place feel so private and luxurious. There are so many things about this resort that made for a perfect stay and it was so clear to us how much care and attention to detail the staff give. The *only* criticism we could give is that our bed was a bit hard and we missed having a bath robe. Otherwise- 10/10! We will absolutely be back!

Just a short walk from downtown, but quiet and private. The staff has been at the hotel for years and are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I felt like they cared that we had a great trip. I don't visit a lot of places more than once but Capitan Suizo will be an exception.
