ACCOMMODATION: Right on the beach in Tamarindo, Capitan Suizo consists of 8 thatched-roof bungalows and 22 rooms, each spacious and comfortable, with a patio or balcony. Steps away are the huge free-form pool and open-air restaurant and bar. Bungalows and rooms feature a mezzanine bedroom with king-size bed, and sliding doors that open to a tropical garden. Private bathrooms include enclosed shower and deep bathtub with window view. Bedroom closets have wicker-mesh to let clothing breathe. Decor of natural stone floors harmonize with red hardwood trim, offset by sofas of greenish-blue. Halogen lamps inset in the ceiling provide superior lighting; alternatively, soft-lit lanterns cast a romantic spell. The bungalows and all of the rooms on the second floor are built in such a way that air conditioning is not needed. Rooms on the first floor have a/c. Each unit is equipped with a telephone, an FM/AM radio, a safety box and a small refrigerator.

RESTAURANT & BAR: At the open-air restaurant and bar, savory meals and refreshing drinks are served in this informal, inviting ambiance. Situated underneath a thatched roof, you can revel in the ocean view and breezes. Or perhaps you'd prefer poolside service as you laze in a leafy atmosphere, visited by friendly wildlife.

International cuisine (with a Swiss accent) highlights the menu - Tilapia Calabrese for fish lovers, Beef Stroganoff, unique pastas, and dreamy desserts. The chef keeps in mind your need for variety, creating new temptations for the tastebuds.
