Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a wonderful place. Small, boutique hotel. At a quiet end of the beach, yet close walk to everything. Staff was so gracious. Very clean. Loved being able to look at the water while eating breakfast or having a drink. The pool was clean and refreshing and we enjoyed our evening swims. Our second night there we signed up for the beach BBQ under the full moon. The food was amazing. We would return here in a heartbeat and stay an entire week!

It's a beautiful property located on the beach. You can eat the hotel breakfast while overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The foliage around the property is exquisite. We saw a pretty large iguana strolling near the swimming pool and two young owls in a tree near our bungalow.

Wonderful beachfront hotel past all the very busy town . Gorgeous rooms, beautiful grounds , and the staff is simply outstanding. Friendly, helpful and outgoing. Lovely pool, lots of toys, helpful concierge team. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Grandson was delighted with the monkeys in the trees right outside the room. Food was excellent. Dinner service slow the first night but it was busy and our waiter seemed to be new. In any event…. Highly recommend the property and if I return to Tamarindo will stay here again. Terrific!

We loved this hotel. Was there for 5 amazing days and didn’t want to leave. The room was beautiful and spacious and clean. We had a terrace. The pool and beach area was beautiful and not crowded. The breakfast and restaurant was great. Fresh pineapple juice and delicious coffee every day. But the best part of the hotel was the staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. By the time we left, we knew everyone’s name. Rosa, the concierge, was great. We booked 3 excursions and they were all fun. Definitely going back

I can't use enough positive adjectives to describe my family's experience at this hotel. The rooms, meals, location and staff were all incredible ... truly. The staff helped with each and every need, and are the friendliest I have ever encountered. The location itself, at the far end of the beach is perfect as it is far enough away to avoid the crowds in Tamarindo, yet close enough to walk there in 15 minutes. No car was needed as there is easy access to everything you would want to do, and excursions can all be arranged by the hotel itself. A true gem!

Wonderful facilities and staff make this a stand out hotel. Best one we stayed in Costa Rica. Very relaxed atmosphere. Great location at quieter end of the beach. Excellent choice and quality of food.

I haven’t left USA in 51 years. I was apprehensive. Capitan Suizo staff in every aspect of the resort was UNBELIEVABLY NICE and HELPFUL. They truly cared about our well being and enjoyment. Room excellent, shower wonderful, food tremendous, location unbeatable. My wife and I had our best vacation in 35 years of marriage. Mucho gracias Capitan Suizo and Costa Rica. Pura Vida is now my mantra. We shall return and it will be to Capitan Suizo.

My husband and I spent four nights at this wonderful hotel. The room was very nice, spacious, clean, and comfortable. All of the staff members that we met were friendly and kind. Rosa, one of the concierges, was extremely helpful. She helped us book a couple of tours/excursions and recommended several restaurants that were great and made all of our dinner reservations. The location is the best! We easily walked into the center of Tamarindo for lunch, dinner, weekly markets, etc. and the location on the beach is perfect. All the activity is easily accessible, but the beach in front of the hotel is quiet.

10/10 We come for our honey moon and stayed two nights (bungalow 6). Amazing stay, staff is more than kind and helpful. Some of the best food we had while we were here (9 days) close enough to town to walk but too far too hear the loud music. Surf boards to use on the beach Trust me spend the extra $$ and get a bungalow Our was close to breakfast but also one of the more private ones Could not recommend more!
