Tamarindo is located 4 1/2 hours driving from San José or 1 hour from Liberia’s International Airport. Forty five minute flights from San José are daily available.

Hotel Capitan Suizo is the perfect place to enjoy beach holidays. It is located directly on the beach in a privileged area, outside of town and at the end of the bay. Despite the growing and development of this former little fisherman village and its surroundings, Capitan Suizo has maintained its original philosophy that includes the protection of native trees and green areas of the property with its  lush tropical garden which homes a variety of wildlife and where it is implicit that nature and animals are integrated with love and respect. Thanks to a discreet elegance and a touch of Swiss quality that blends with an informal and joyful atmosphere, Capitan Suizo is the ideal oasis to rest, relax and get away from the daily routine.

It offers an open- air beachfront restaurant and bar. The chef Roland Brodscholl has been delighting the guests since the opening of the hotel with his fusion of European cuisine and tropical influence.
