Junquillal Spa Hotels

"The food was why I took off a star. Buffet same every day and not all That appealing but the reserve sushi and especially the Italian was dreadful. The Italian was below average ranging to actually not edible. From crunchy gnocchi soup to stale sprinkle on mushy tiramisu. Not good at all. Don't do it if you are going to serve tiny portions that are gross."

"Great experience for our 21st annual girls trip! Clean rooms, attentive staff, beautiful views, wonderful pool and beach experiences, great air conditioning. Only complaint is a small one, the mattresses were VERY firm, too firm. "

"We loved our stay here! Such a beautiful property - the views were stunning!! Took advantage of the shuttle each day, super easy, no problem. Beach club was great amenity to take advantage of as well. We ate dinner at restaurant one night, meal was great. Breakfast every morning was delicious as well, lots of options! Room was nice, spacious and clean - mini fridge was nice to have and the views were great too! Pool was perfect - happy hour was great to take advantage of. Loved being a bit out of the downtown core - very quiet at night."

"Staff, house keeping, activity centre and entertainment were all great. Restaurant options were limited due to closures so we were forced to eat at certain restaurants on some nights. "

"I love this hotel, it was so beautiful. The grounds were well maintained staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. The breakfast was delicious. The dinner is was also great. I hope to return."

"It was nice little expensive for what you get"

"The property, which is in a natural preserve, needs better upkeep. The rooms are dated and our bathroom had lots of mold, which is totally unacceptable. Also, the rooms are spread all around the property through trails and you go up and down the mountain to reach them. This, in the suffocating heat and humidity, is exhausting. There is no A/C anywhere in the property except the bedrooms. The restaurant is ok, but again: no A/C, limited options. The one shining pearl in all this was the SPA. I had a relaxing massage with Fanny, which was fantastic."

"Everything at Capitan Suizo was amazing. Perfect location on the beach. Stayed in bungalow with beautiful garden views. Beds very comfortable. Outdoor shower took a little getting used to but after a couple of days my girls and I enjoyed listening to the sounds of Howler monkeys and birds while showering. Breakfast was delicious and we ate outside watching the ocean every morning. We would lay out in the lounge chairs under a little shade steps away from the ocean and from the restaurant/bar. When we weren’t on the beach we swam in the pool which was super clean. Had a full body massage one day at the spa which was incredible. Went back to spa on another day for a collagen facial. All the staff were so gracious and welcoming. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. If you are coming to Tamarindo, you will thank yourself for staying here!"

"The grounds are lovely,but no gym and the wellness classes were really limited - not necessarily a deal breaker but something to be aware of. A bit further from town (about a mile walk) which could be a positive or a negative based on what you are expecting."
