EnquireHotel Capitan Suizo is a family-run, beachfront hotel in the popular visitor destination of Tamarindo on Costa Rica’s north Pacific coast. This charming boutique property sits on the town’s outskirts, nestled in lovely tropical gardens beside a tranquil stretch of sandy beach. Offering 35 rooms and bungalows, a restaurant, swimming pool, and spa, it is a relaxing midrange option for travellers seeking spacious accommodation and superb ocean views away from the bustle of town.
Communal areas include an open-sided beachside restaurant and bar with an airy thatched ceiling and ocean views, serving generous breakfast buffets and a la carte lunches and dinners. The menu focuses on European and Costa Rican cuisine, with musical entertainment regularly provided during the evenings. Private dining can be arranged upon request. The hotel provides hammocks and loungers on the beach and there’s a lovely freeform swimming pool which has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate existing trees on the property. There’s also an onsite gift shop, along with an internet and computer station. Complimentary Wi-Fi is provided, with a decent signal throughout the resort. The hotel also offers a pool table, table tennis, and board games.
Activities include swimming, snorkelling, body boarding, surfing, paddle boarding and kayaking. The hotel provides complimentary snorkelling gear, body boards, kayaks and beach volleyball equipment. At 4km in length, Tamarindo beach is perfect for walking or jogging. Considered one of Costa Rica’s safest, the beach has long attracted surfers from beginner to advanced level, and lessons can be arranged. Guests are invited to use gym facilities at a neighbouring beach club. Scuba diving, sailing, horse riding, and golf are also available locally, subject to additional charge, along with relaxing sunset boat excursions around the bay. Tamarind town offers a wealth of amenities including markets, shops, cafes and restaurants, all within a 10 to 15-minute walk from the hotel.
The accommodation comprises 29 spacious rooms in the main hotel and six bungalows set apart from one another in the tropical gardens. All units have a king size bed with a mosquito net, a generous ensuite bathroom with shower, and all have air conditioning, fans, a fridge, hot drink facilities, and Wi-Fi. Many rooms have a lounge area with a double sofa bed, and all have sliding doors leading onto a private balcony or terrace with super ocean views. Note that televisions are not provided, the emphasis being on outdoor living and ‘switching off’. There’s a large, four-bedroom suite in the main hotel which sleeps up to eight people in two double and two single bedrooms, all with air conditioning. There are two bathrooms, both with a shower, and one with a Jacuzzi. The spacious lounge contains a sofa bed and a ceiling fan but no air conditioning and two of the bedrooms lead out onto a generous balcony.
Children are very welcome at the hotel. Most of the rooms can accommodate up to three guests, with reductions for guests under 12 when sharing with an adult. Given the hotel’s beachside location, parents are reminded to keep children under adult supervision at all times.
We had an amazing experience - absolutely loved it.
Mohamed and Said were great and very patient especially with me going downhill - was quite nervous about the scree slopes and paths.Will be a trip we remember forever

I would like to say a massive thank you for organising our Vietnam trip. The itinerary and execution were superb, as was the attention to detail. I would also like to thank the agent who was on the end of my whats app chat (I have no idea who they were!) – always available, always quick to respond, and kept me updated regarding times etc. Also, the guides Dan (north) and Tien (mid) were just excellent, and we really enjoyed their company. The lady (whose name I have forgotten) who was our additional guide for the DMZ day was exceedingly good and made that day very special.

Trip was great and all the arrangements were excellent so thank you for all the help!
Drivers and transfers were all good - on time and very good service on each trip.
Accommodation was lovely - Douar Samra was amazing (weather could have been better but lovely regardless). Riad in Marrakesh was also great!
All in all a great trip and we loved the variety of the mountains, Marrakesh and the coast.
Thanks you once again!
