We stayed at a few hotels in the area. This hotel was the best by far, especially because of the staff. The rooms are excellent also but the staff are amazing.

This is a beautiful hotel nestled in nature. The rooms were comfortable and classy. The service was friendly and helpful. Loved that this is locally owned and small in size. The breakfast included was perfect and delicious. Local fruits, fresh made eggs to order and local foods. Loved this hotel. Highly recommended.

Beautiful property with uncrowded grounds and beach. Convenient to center of Tamarindo but out of the fray. Great place to relax and enjoy the beach, the pool, wildlife and grounds and friendly staff.

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.

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!

It is a pleasure to stay at this wonderful boutique hotel. The staff is warm and welcoming. The food is delicious. The location is the best of both worlds: a tranquil tropical beachside paradise just a short walk to the shops and restaurants of Tamarindo.

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.
