Resting on the golden sands of the Tamarindo Bay, Capitan Suizo is the ideal blend of beach relaxation, outdoor adventure and the laidback Costa Rican concept of pura vida. Tucked away amidst the leafy gardens just steps from the shimmering ocean, the hotel’s 31 rooms are furnished with local materials and perfectly capture the gentle ambiance of their surroundings. Relish the tranquillity from the spacious living areas or on the inviting terraces and balconies.
The sound of lapping waves and peaceful birdsong only enhances your experience, be it unwinding by the swimming pool or surrendering to a treatment at the open-air spa tent. Here, a mud and lime facial, chocolate and orange wrap or coconut exfoliant always leaves you feeling utterly revived. Spend your evenings at the El Blanco restaurant tucking into a seared tuna with Teriyaki sauce and sushi rice or Capitan Curry with creamy coconut milk and fresh vegetables from the hotel’s garden. Perched on the beach and often accompanied by live marimba music, the atmosphere here completes the paradise experience. For something more intimate, there is nothing more romantic than a private candlelit dinner with Pacific views and the sand at your feet.
