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.

Loved our stay at this little oasis! So close to everything but once you step onto the property it feels like you’re miles away from everything! Seeing monkeys, squirrels , iguanas, different kinds of birds and of course , the two residents cats everyday was such a treat! We would definitely stay here again!! Pura Vida!!

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.
