I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would definitely recommend it to others. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with any questions or requests. My room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it easy to relax after a long day. The amenities were excellent, and everything I needed was easily accessible. I also appreciated the convenient location, which made it simple to get to nearby restaurants, shops, and attractions. Overall, the service exceeded my expectations, and I would happily stay here again on my next visit.
The property, the staff, and everything about our stay, here was excellent. The location to the beach and all of the things in downtown or within 10 minutes or less. It really added to our trip to Costa Rica and we think the hotel very much for helping in every way. My wife and I had a very good time here.
Beautiful oasis in the midst of Tamarindo. Amazing staff, gorgeous pool area and tropical gardens. Great bungalow accommodation with excellent privacy and amenities. Attentive owner was helpful in giving tips about the area. Loved every minute of our stay and will definitely return. Highly recommended!
The hotel is a very short walk to the main downtown area. Just far enough away to avoid the noise but close enough to be there in a few minutes. The pool is amazing! Staff is very helpful and courteous. The room was clean and air conditioned, and the beds were comfortable.
The location is very convenient to everything but can be a little noisy at night (mostly talking about the bad karaoke singing haha). There are many animals around which is fun to see. The property is really charming. The breakfast options could be better for vegans but the staff tried their best to accommodate us. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel
Small hotel with a nice made to order restaurant. Within walking distance of everything you need. Across the street is a grocery store, down the street is the beach, coffee shops, many different restaurants. I was there with two children (10, 11,) and my husband and we felt safe the entire time. The hotel has security and closes a gate at night. Would stay here again and would definitely recommend. We saw cool birds, iguanas and monkeys while there!
Hotel Pasatiempo is right in town and walking distance to many restaurants, live music and the beach and at the same time it feels like a lush oasis. Lots of beautiful palm trees and plenty of wildlife like iguanas and monkey visits in the mornings. Very quiet considering how close you are to everything.
Staff were super helpful and friendly. The grounds were lush and full of trees and gardens and the kitchen suite was perfect for small family size with private patio. Loved it and would go back.
It was a cute little place. Room wasn’t anything fancy but the hotel was close to all the action in Tamarindo. The staff were very nice and we enjoyed our stay.
We stayed for 7 nights and had a wonderful time! The property was right in the middle of all the best restaurants in town - Lestanco (The Hidden Garden), Dragonfly, Rugierio for coffee and bagels, the Night Market and all of the beach restaurants to watch the sunset.
The owner was there every day. The staff was excellent. Definitely saw monkeys in the trees above us. It was a definite oasis in the middle of town! We loved it!

This is a boutique hotel with quaint clean rooms. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant is more expensive than other restaurants in town so didn’t eat there but in the morning they had delicious free coffee for guests.
very clean, very helpful front desk staff, helped with travel arrangements. The restaurant on property was great!

Room cleanliness was very good, housekeeping efficient and always new towels. Breakfast was under par, very disappointing. We felt restaurant staff could’ve been more helpful and friendly, it would’ve boosted their sales. Pool often had lots of falling leaves, but was awesome. Enjoyed the location of this place, very convenient. Reception staff very helpful, accommodating and friendly. Overall a great place
Great little chill oasis in the midst of Tamarindo. Was great to sit next to pool in the evening and have live music with beach bar vibes. Rooms are very basic, but common area really nice and location could not be better.
i absolutely love this accommodation. Felt like we were at a resort. The room was small, but we did not need anything larger as we didn’t spend much time here. Walked out of our room into the pool area. We enjoyed having a restaurant and bar on site. It was within walking distance to everything. Night market just down the street. We even saw monkeys passed through a few times during our stay.
