Capitán Suizo Beachfront Boutique Hotel 4 stars

Tamarindo

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

Breakfast made each morning was spectacular Room had great AC and wonderfully warm shower There is parking onsite It is so close to Carillo beach which is so much more tranquil than Sámara Beach. But within a short driving distance of Sámara if you want to go be part of the things going on over there!

Quinta Esencia 4 stars

Brasilito

Offering outdoor pool and a restaurant, Quinta Esencia is located in Brasilito, only 300 metres from the beach. It is surrounded by lush tropical gardens and features free Wi-Fi.

Each room here is air-conditioned and includes a private terrace overlooking the gardens. They also include a TV, minibar and a coffee maker. One of the most wonderful trips ever!! Ximena made me feel like family!! She is an absolute gem and always made me laugh! When I had to leave, I actually cried the night before and also in the morning when I was leaving and hugging goodbye because I was going to miss everything - from Ximena greeting me with her delicious plates of fresh fruit each morning, sweet Ruby and Bella (dogs) keeping me company each evening out on the terrace, Botas the cat coming around to say hello, the rooster outside in the yard behind our rooms serving as my early-morning alarm clock a few times (that was actually funny!), and my favorite of all - the sweet little bird in the tree each morning singing, “Beeeeeeeeep!” ☺️ The property sits on a hill and the rooms (there are four) are built up in a treetop-style loft. There is a spacious outdoor community-style kitchen where you can cook your own meals if you’re on a budget or don’t feel like going out to eat every night. There is a supermarket and pharmacy right next door. There is a large terrace outside of the rooms with tables where you can sit, relax, enjoy breakfast, or read a book to unwind after a day at the beach. The rooms are spacious with a minibar and a wooden armoire to place your belongings. Beach towels are graciously provided. I absolutely loved this place! I did NOT want to leave - ever. Also, it’s a ten minute walk to Brasilito beach and a twenty minute walk to Playa Conchal, one of the most beautiful beaches you will ever visit. Ximena, muchas gracias por todo y te volveré a ver pronto, amiga mió!! ☺️☺️
