Great little chill oasis in the midst of Tamarindo. Was great to sit next to pool in the evening and have live music with beach bar vibes. Rooms are very basic, but common area really nice and location could not be better.

An Affair of the Mind, a Romance of the Senses

Staying at Hotel Pasatiempo was an intellectual romance—every detail curated thoughtfully enough to feel like an inside joke between you and the universe. The design is subtly brilliant, inviting a quiet admiration of tasteful choices that speak volumes without saying a word. The staff moves with understated genius, anticipating needs with a knowing smile as if reading your mind was just their baseline. And the comfort? Pure elegance disguised as simplicity—beds crafted so intelligently comfortable they practically whisper philosophy as you drift off. I left reluctantly, feeling oddly smarter, inspired, and already scheming my return.

Not a great stay.

The room was clean but small. The bathroom was extremely small, when you sat on the toilet your knees were touching the wall. Sower also very tight and small. Ants walking everywhere in the room and bathroom. The noise at night was unbearable, loud music blasting until 1:30 am.

I’ll start with THE PRO’s The grounds are nice with lots of trees and fauna. The people that work there are nice and friendly. The location to the night life and shops are close to the hotel. They have a 2 for 1 happy hour from 4 to 6 pm every day. There were howler monkeys nearby and some iguanas. Two nice orange kitties, one is missing an eye. Good security. Met a lot of nice people THE CON’s When we got there in the afternoon about a hour before check in time, the door was locked, because the reception person was running around doing everything. After a little wait, not to bad. The hotel has seen better days. The deck around the pool is falling apart. While we were there for 4 days, I never seen the pool get cleaned. They ask you to not turn the ac below 24C. You cannot put anything in the toilet except what comes out of your body. Toilet paper and such must go in a waste basket! The food at the restaurant is just OK. Parking is on a busy road. We had nothing to set our suitcase's on, so we had to set them on the beds, not good. TV’s are not great. Very, very noisy from loud motorcycles, heavy trucks and loud music. Probably will not go back.

A beautiful oasis close to all the action of Tam. Staff were excellent and accommodating. Rooms were extra clean, patio with hammock was heaven. Pool area was quiet but allowed for chats with other guests. Would definitely recommend and will stay again.

Quiet nice place, need to work on service

Staff in the restaurant were not available and unfriendly most of the time, so that was strange. Need a place to fill up water bottles to reduce single use plastic. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Surprisingly quiet for how close we were to the main streets

This was a cute hotel. The amenities and pool area are nice and it is a great location. Walking distance to the beach where we were able to rent chairs and surf. Walking distance to many restaurants and the nightlife which all fell safe. Parking is also easy. However, the actual room of the hotel is not anything special. It is very plain and straightforward but was good for us because we were really only in the room for sleep for our 3 day stay.

Basic hotel in Tamarindo. Came here during the peak season, so the prices were high. Pool was nice, but rooms were super basic and felt overpriced.
