We all went to Switzerland: a dream come true!
“I would have never imagined this.” - Martha
“A dream just came true. I got to see the snow!” - Xenia
“It was like a dream that many at the beginning thought couldn’t become reality. Now they are living it. And I believe it will be an experience that they are going to cherish for the rest of their lives. I am actually tearing up talking about it…” - Diego
These statements were made by different staff members of the Capitán Suizo Hotel while visiting Switzerland. In October 2024 the whole crew flew to Europe for 10 days and had an unforgettable experience.

The planning of the trip ⬇️
We are going to Switzerland!
Join us on a journey of a lifetime!
We are on a mission to make 100 dreams come true: our entire team, the heart and soul of Capitán Suizo, is heading to Switzerland for an unforgettable adventure.
Why we are going?
Hi! We are the Schmid family, the owners of Hotel Capitán Suizo and we would like to tell you about a huge project that we will carry out.
The history of Hotel Capitán Suizo began in 1992, when our family moved from Switzerland to Costa Rica. The hotel has offered thousands of unforgettable holidays to tourists from all over the world and received numerous awards for its product and service. This success was only possible thanks to our incredible team of 100 employees that work at the hotel. After receiving another great award from Condé Nast Traveler magazine in 2018, in which we were named as the best hotel in all of Central America and the Caribbean, we decided to also realize a dream for our collaborators; an experience that they would never forget. The goal is to take ALL employees to Switzerland.
For our 10-day trip we already have our flights and accommodations booked.
If you would also like to express your appreciation towards our staff, and be part of this adventure, there are some items that are still not covered, like: winter clothes, suitcases, activities, meals and other things. You will find more information about the trip and how you can support us below.
With all our heart we say thank you very much.
