When you want to enjoy awesome live music, this is the place to be on Wednesday nights! The leatherbacks kick serious butt and the bar atmosphere is great! The service is very good and it's my favorite place to be each Wednesday night. If you have any musical talent as well, you can join the band as it's open mic... More

My reason for going to Tamarindo was to have dental work while chasing the sun and sea. I needed a place that would support the rest and recovery I needed, especially as a single woman traveller. Hotel Pasatiempo was a great fit. Bibo26 gave a great summary of the room choices. I found the bed heavenly. Supportive, very nice bedding,... More

My husband and I have stayed here a few times and always had a good experience. We've stayed in all 3 room types (during the high season) and recommend you upgrade to the deluxe room for the extra $10/night, which is probably the best value, too. The wall separating the bathroom in our standard room didn't go to the ceiling,... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel for our six-night stay in Tamarindo and it was absolutely perfect. In college, I lived in Costa Rica for 6 months and traveled all over the country; with that said, Hotel Pasatiempo has been my absolutely favorite so far. It's affordable, very clean, comfy beds, nice bathrooms with hot showers, A/C that... More

Out of all the hustle and bustle of the main strip, there is a quaint beautiful place that a single traveler or a whole family can relax and live in paradise. Hotel Pasatiempo is wonderful! Literally seconds away to some great places to eat, and the corner market. Not to mention right off the main strip on the beach of... More

Hotel Pasatiempo was exactly what we needed. Two college girls looking for a good time in Tamarindo and a hotel that could fit our budget. Cute, clean pool and awesome rooms. Very private and quiet, but steps away from the fun nightlife. Highly recommended!

The price is super accessible and the hotel is nice for the price you pay. The staff was very nice and helpful, and always gave us towels and tips of what to do. What made our stay stressful were the French people who serve in the restaurant. They are rude and kept shouting at me and my friends (when I... More

I finished my Costa Rica trip after volunteering, at Hotel Pasatiempo for some serious relaxation! It was everything I could have asked for! Beautiful area by the pool, with the bar and amazing hotel restaurant - and breakfast included - which was fantastic! My room was excellent, clean and comfortable.
