My wife and I just returned from 9 days at the Pasatiempo in Tamarindo. Overall, it was a great property and deserves a look from any traveler. The Pasatiempo is certainly not a fancy place with lots of amenities, but the little cabins are nice and it was a good experience for us. Pros: GREAT LOCATION - less than a... more

Stayed there 7 nights, very quiet, clean and comfortable. Nice privacy level compared to bigger hotels and resorts. Short walk to beach and resort town restaurants with plentiful choices. Rooms are cozy and comfortable, located in several small buildings amongst gardens, feels secluded inside the place. more

My stay began the last few days of August thru to the middle of September. It was just what I needed to recharge my batteries.

They have a nice little bar that can be a lot of fun some nights. Tuesday was an open mic night while I was there and was... more

My wife and I had a blast staying at Hotel Pasatiempo, what a great vibe! The staff was friendly and helpful, the room (suite) was clean and spacious. The location is perfect, it's a short walk from the beach and close to all everything you need (grocery store, restaurants, surf shops, bank, pharmacy, etc.). We were charmed by the reggae... more
