If you're a budget traveller, looking for a cute, charming and authentic cabana setting located about 300 meters from one of Costa Rica's finest beaches and trendiest towns, Tamarindo. Then this is it. Palm trees swaying around a pool, lovely private cabins, with patios, colorfully painted, open air restaurant, air conditioned suites, TV with HBO and it's all for about... more

Terrible customer service. I believe this hotel used to be under different management and may just be coasting off of previous good reviews. Very difficult to communicate with them and charged us for a stay even though we never stayed at the hotel. Be very wary of what they will charge your credit card. more

This hotel is so quaint and off the main road, just 5 minutes walk to the beach. The people who work there are very kind and helpful. They will go out of there way to assist you and make sure whatever you ask for , you get. THe food at the restaurant was very good as well as the place... more

The hotel Pasatiempo exceeded our already high expectations. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the pool and bar/restaurant were perfect for relaxing and enjoying the company of those in our party and other guests. The staff was wonderful; and I mean everyone, from the owner to the room cleaners. All were very friendly, courteous and helpful. They were great at... more

Just back from Hotel Pasatiempo, so this is your latest and greatest intel on the place. For what it is, where it is and how much it cost, the place was excellent. Freddy and William at the front desk were very helpful. I was concerned when Freddy told me that the original owners Ron & Janet had (in the last... more

I thought the place was in a good location. Tamarindo is good for a party town, which is what we did most of the time. However, rennovations to the bar area were a drawback. In addition, my credit card bill was 80 dollars more than what they said they charged at check-out. My other group of friends got overcharged by... more

It is hard for me to write a very positive review of this hotel - nothing wrong with the hotel, but I guess I just was not thrilled about Tamarindo. The hotel is nice and spacious, and the best thing is there is a front porch for each room with its own hammock. My only minor complain is that there... more

Hotel Pasatiempo is a laid back, relaxing reosrt just minutes from the beach. It's run by a great couple that are from the states and understand what people want on a vacation......comfort, a cold beer, some food and a clean room. more

Two friends and I stayed at the Pasatiempo in Tamarindo between July 7-14. The staff was very nice, and courteous. They promptly answered emails, and immediately notified my friends when I let them know my arrival was delayed by 24 hrs. The problem with the hotel is the area it is in. During the rainy season, water run off from... more
