My fiance and I stayed at the Capitan Suizo from May 7-10, 2013 (i.e. 3 nights). The hotel is located a few minutes away from the main Tamarindo street, which works perfectly since it is slightly secluded and you end up with a private beach experience. The architecture of the hotel is breathtakingly beautiful and quaint and we loved how... More

I stayed at the Capitan Suizo for several days in March and I can only recommend this beautiful place. Located a few walking minutes from Tamarindo, directly on the beach, you still get the feeling of being on a secluded beach surrounded by breath taking nature. I have not experienced such a variety of flora and fauna in other hotels... More

I highly recommend this hotel and would give you more starts if I could. It was worth every penny. Not only is it Paradise on earth. Right on the beach and looks just like the pictures. You felt so taken care of, I mean these people are really genuinely nice to you, it was almost weird. I felt at home.... More

From our experience, CAPITAN SUIZO was an excellent choice. We were there for 8 nights in April 2013 and were very happy with our stay. The upper level room was very spacious and the balcony (facing the ocean) had a glorious view of lush green trees. Often saw howler monkeys in the trees in their natural environment. Be forewarned, they... More

Just back from 9 days in the Guanacaste province of Costa Rica where we spent our first 4 days at Capitan Suizo hotel just outside Tamarindo. We arrived late due to flight issues and were so thankful we had the helpful staff at the hotel arrange for transportation to pick us up at the airport. When we arrived it was... More

Went with family here and stayed in a bungalo, when you go in you are very pleasantly surprised. There is an ENORMOUSLY LONG BEACH with this hotel. Food at hotel is wonderful, staff is experienced and very nice. If you're doing Costa Rica, this is a very smart choice.

If you are looking for a pampered 5 stars lodge on the beach this will not be your place. If you want to enjoy Tamarindo in a Eco-friendly way with a very Costa Rican accent then you will LOVE this place. The Landscape is Magnificent and well kept, tropical-looking. You will enjoy dinner surrounded by nature, looking at Iguanas, Monkeys,... More

After staying in a remote jungle location for 4 days, 3 of us on vacation wanted to experience another kind of scene. That we did! While I feel the reviews on Trip Advisor were really quite accurate (good and bad), we knew what to expect when we arrived. I guess the only thing I was not prepared for, was that... More

My family just returned from an absolutely amazing 8 day trip to Costa Rica. We began our stay with three nights in a bungalow at Hotel Capitan Suizo. This hotel was exactly what I hoped it would be - serene, welcoming and authentic. Our bungalow (#7) was beautiful and very true to the photos on line. It was spacious with... More
