When I first started going to Costa Rica fifteen years ago, the old timers would say, You should have seen it when But in all the years that I have been staying at the Hotel Capitan Suizo in Tamarindo, I would truthfully say that it is at its best right now. It s winning of the Conde Nast Award for best hotel in Central America this year validates my opinion. The hotel has always had the best piece of property on the bay, with a magnificent view of the water, and far enough from downtown to be quite peaceful, but over the years the hotel has aged like fine wine, and the rooms, grounds, restaurant and staff has gotten better and better. The rooms are large and comfortable, and the beds are excellent. The garden is more beautiful and is filled with flowers plants and trees. It looks wild but the large garden staff is testimony to the hotel s dedication to its upkeep. In fact, one of the missions and prides of the hotel are their initiative supporting the local ecology and sustainability. The garden is often filled with visiting wildlife including howler monkeys, which is delightful. The restaurant has become first class over the years and starting your day with their breakfast buffet (eggs, sausage, breads, fruits, cereals ) is a delight. Their dinner menu has also become more luxurious, and they now have entertainment several days of the week. The staff is the heart and soul of this hotel. Much of the staff has been at the hotel for all the years I have been coming as a guest. They are amazing and they have both my love and respect. Thank you Sonia, Helen, Urs, Diego, Erik, Mari, Max, Odeth, Rosa, Naty, Adimar, Angel, Manu, Coopertino and all of the rest of the team! I ll see you again, soon! Hotel Capitan Suizo, you are truly a grand hotel!
