Wow...what can I say? I loved this hotel. I stayed there 4 nights march 10th to the 13th. Tamarindo has a lot of places to stay, but none has the charm of the Pasatiempo. First, I didn't realize that it truly is a classic hotel in Tamarindo which is really saying something. There is a history behind it. I drove... More

During our honeymoon, my and my wife stayed in Pasatiempo hotel in Tamarindo. This was one of our best choices ! The hotel was just what we've been looking for - a great place to relax, located right next to the center and close to the beach. We've spent plenty of time in the pool and enjoyed the live show...

Stayed at Pasatiempo for 4 nights in early April and I really enjoyed my stay! The place is clean, has a great pool, owners are very friendly and ready to help you anytime, the restaurant-bar serves great food and again the owners (French couple) are super friendly! The small casitas (houses) are great, give you some privacy and are fairly... More

We lucked out on this hotel. It was our first time to Costa Rica and we blindly booked at the Pasatiempo. Yes, very lucky we were! Everyone that works there is amazing. Everyone pretty much speaks English if you can't speak Spanish. You definitely want to be there for the party on Wednesday. Rooms were clean and comfortable. I highly... More

We so enjoyed our stay at Hotel Pasatiempo in Tamarindo! Nestled in the middle of town is this little paradise with luscious landscaping and nice pool surrounded by 20 bungalows. Right in the middle is a very nice restaurand run by french chef Vincent and wife Chantel. The owners Sean and Helene were always on site and exceptionally helpful and... More

This hotel is the best in Tamarindo and the owners Sean and Helene are wonderful. We felt like family and their staff goes above and beyond anything you can imagine when it comes to service. Rooms are all newly remodeled, beautiful, super clean, hot hot hot water, TV ( if that's your Vaca scene) and AC. Nice little private rooms... More

This is really by far the nicest place we have been to in Costa Rica - and totally worth the money (99$ + tax / per night). It appears to me that the really nice places in Costa Rica are actually not run by Ticos, but by Expats (in this case French & American) - why is that? The rooms... More

I have been traveling to Costa Rica for years and just by chance my friend and I decided to stay here a few nights. The lodgings were some of the nicest I have ever stayed in while in C.R. Great pool, clean environment, and I felt like my possessions were safe and secure when I was out of the room.... More

Hotel Pasatiempo, such an awesome place. Sean and Helen were very nice and gracious hosts. The rooms were clean and neat. The bed was comfortable. Hot water available if needed. The pool was nice to have although we didnt get to use it much since we went to the beach a lot. They also have free breakfast - toast, cereal,... More
