The rustic-style rooms at Capitán Suizo Beach Front Boutique Hotel are air conditioned and have a seating area, safety deposit box and balconies. They are decorated with wooden furniture and light-coloured beddings.

Excellent hotel - we liked it so much that we even changed our trip plans to stay there longer (4 nights instead of 2). The beach is fantastic - both for swimming and surfing (at least at a beginner level), hotel beach chairs are very comfy, so perfect place for reading and enjoying coctails. The hotel garden is very nice - there are monkeys and iguanas there, plenty of birds

The Wyndham Tamarindo is a fantastic hotel! We had a wonderful experience! The infinity pool was incredible and the view from there and our oceanfront room ~ wow! The restaurant food was great and so was the service! Everyone treated us very nicely. The shuttle down into town was an extra bonus and saved us from the steep hills!

    Just about everything! A real oasis of calm in the chaos of Tamarindo Bay on Easter weekend! The place was PACKED, but this gem of a hotel was all calmness and quietness. Very beautifully designed but not imposing in any way. It was also nice to have a couple of nights without any children around! Breakfasts were gorgeous, the pool area truly delightfully, and the room very well appointed, super comfortable and super clean

    Amazing property! The best place I stayed at in terms of comfort and loveliness in Costa Rica! Location is great, close enough to get around and to the beach, but just far enough that it’s very calm I enjoyed the swimming pool and swimming pool area. Bed is very comfortable, design and decoration in the room are lovely. I could borrow a yoga mat and practice on the balcony or in the room easily. You can even borrow surf boards and bike for free. Breakfast was delightful! Plan a bit ahead as it does take some time but it’s definitely worth it.

    It was lovely, and you could tell a lot of effort went into designing and maintaining it! Beach umbrellas, towels, and chairs were a nice touch!

    This beautiful boutique hotel is fantastic. A short 5 minute walk from the heart of Tamarindo with stylish rooms (which are also massive). The breakfast alone is worth the visit, the manager is a master of eggs!

    The property is a refreshing contrast to the bustling town. Located outside of the city center, Favela Chic offered a relaxing and tranquil place but still within walking distance to everything. The owners did a wonderful job with the design and atmosphere of their boutique hotel!

    If you need a place to stay in the Tamarindo but want to be away from the hostel buzz of the centre look no further. To me this is without a doubt the best hotel in the area (price/value). This boutique hotel is quiet, intimate, family owned and designed to perfection. The staff were kind and accommodating. I’d rebook without hesitation. All rooms are equally stunning you can’t go wrong.
