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

Capitan Suizo was by far my favorite hotel that I have ever stayed at! All of the staff was OUTSTANDING, and super kind. The hotel felt comfy, beautiful, natural, peaceful, and clean. It was a great place to hangout for most of the day and rotate from the pool to 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. We met one of the original owners and she shared some great stories of their history.

Last minute booking

We booked here last minute after having to leave a hotel near by that was not clean. This place was exceptional. Beautiful grounds, great food and a wonderful staff. We were sad to have to go home after only 2 nights. Highly recommend this hotel.

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!
