Well placed nearly in the centre of town. Convenient for beach, restaurants and cafes. Very helpful staff more

Everyone was very helpful here, the rooms were great but there was no refrigerator (which was fine but would've been nice to have). It was clean and there was a restaurant/bar right in the hotel. Close to other bars in the area which was really convenient too! Overall, great place! more

I traveled to Tamarindo this August for a surf and yoga retreat and had the time of my life. Hotel Pasatiempo is a no frills kitchy tropical themed hotel with lots of charm.

I stayed for a few days while passing through Tamarindo. I wasn't looking for anything special and this fit the bill perfectly. I mostly hung out in the hammock by my room reading.

We have traveled a great deal in many countries of the world, and we have no interest in staying in all-inclusive mega-resorts that require expensive taxi rides to visit anything outside the gates of the resort. We chose the Pasatiempo because its location is absolutely... more

Location is perfect, just a few meters from beach and fun (restaurants, pubs, disco shops). The pool and the garden are very very nice, with squirrels running around on the trees. The rooms are basic no frills but clean and spacious. The bar/restaurant is nice and at night it turns in one of the most popular disco bars in town.... more
