Room cleanliness was very good, housekeeping efficient and always new towels. Breakfast was under par, very disappointing. We felt restaurant staff could’ve been more helpful and friendly, it would’ve boosted their sales. Pool often had lots of falling leaves, but was awesome. Enjoyed the location of this place, very convenient. Reception staff very helpful, accommodating and friendly. Overall a great place

Hotel Pasatiempo is right in town and walking distance to many restaurants, live music and the beach and at the same time it feels like a lush oasis. Lots of beautiful palm trees and plenty of wildlife like iguanas and monkey visits in the mornings. Very quiet considering how close you are to everything.

i absolutely love this accommodation. Felt like we were at a resort. The room was small, but we did not need anything larger as we didn’t spend much time here. Walked out of our room into the pool area. We enjoyed having a restaurant and bar on site. It was within walking distance to everything. Night market just down the street. We even saw monkeys passed through a few times during our stay.

Hotel Pasatiempo is an oasis in Tamarindo! There is a lush garden throughout the property and you can see a variety of animals like monkeys, iguanas, raccoons, etc. It has air conditioned/ceiling fans, spacious and very clean cabanas with wonderful patios. The pool is has lots of seating around it and is a nice option from going to the beach. The beach is across the main road in Tamarindo and there are many restaurants and shops right there. The hotel has a bar and restaurant also. The staff is super friendly and accommodating! I love it there!! My one recommendation is to have a variety of pillows. 😁

This is a boutique hotel with quaint clean rooms. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant is more expensive than other restaurants in town so didn’t eat there but in the morning they had delicious free coffee for guests.

So ive been coming to this hotel for a while. It seems like ownership has changed and with that the condition of the property. The rooms and buildings itself are falling apart, and they're very cheap with simple toilet paper. And on top of that the property is dirty and landscaping is being neglected and the pool was dirty. Its a shame, i wish ownership hadnt change i definitely wont be going back.

Really pretty common area. Wonderful staff. Wildlife right in the hotel common area was a treat. Rooms could certainly use some upgrading. Didn't feel the interior of our room looked like any of the different rooms shown on the advertisement. Overall convenient location and felt safe.

This is a very cute boutique hotel that’s conveniently located across from a grocery store and near the beach and dining options. The pool was great and we saw monkeys in the trees above the pool! We only ate breakfast at the restaurant and it was just so so. We were able to store our luggage at the reception desk before getting our room and after we checked out which was really convenient. We arrived really early from a night flight and couldn’t get our room until 1 PM and we were able to enjoy the pool during that time which was great. It’s a little loud near the road and restaurants, but ear plugs helped. The little patio out front of our room was really nice.
