The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The rooms were very large and clean, and had air conditioners as well. The restaurant offers a fair range of good food. The times the front desk is open could be expanded for convenience.
Nice hotel, 10 minuets walking distance from the nearest beach. The room itself was nice, the shower and water pressure was good, staff is nice and helpful, but several things were unacceptable for a hotel in this level: First, there were big ants everywhere, on the desk, all over the floor, in our bed and on our pillows and on the sink. They say they can fumigate again in your room but this should be resolved prior to guests arrival. It was very unpleasant. Second, the WiFi network didn’t work most of the time due to some technical problems that were only solved in the mornings. Third, our reservation included breakfast but we had to leave at 7:00 am and breakfast in this hotel starts only at 7:30 am. We asked them if we could have something to eat to go in advance, but they refused to help us with this and we had to pay for breakfast outside. This is not ok.
Fun, local bar with live music most nights and plenty of friendly people out for a good time!
Nice bar and pool area, drinks were good and reasonably priced. A shame that the card machine wasn't working, but the experience was good
We had a 4 days 3 nights package at this place. Was our honeymoon and just wanted to relax. Upon arrival we moved to our room, nice and cozy. The problem was when we came back in the evening, our bed was covered with ants. I asked the reception and after a while he managed to put us in another room. I asked if we could stay in the same room and not get inconvenienced, he said no. So the day after we moved back to our room. At night when we came back the A/C was dead. Took them about an hour to get it fixed. The day after we left for a walk and had lunch outside. After lunch took a little nap and both were bitten badly by ants in our bed. This was after they sprayed the room. So once again I spoke with the reception and once again they moved us to another room. By this time I asked the guy in the reception if they could do something to compensate for all the hassle, he told me that he couldn't do much and only works there. I asked him as where was the owner, he said out of the country. My logic, if you own a hotel and don't want to deal with people, at least give your managers a little bit of latitude to be able to compensate your clients. We were ready to leave one day early, that's how tired we were off the situation. Aside from that, the hotel is not bad, close to the center, but no private parking. The pool is OK, the bar and restaurant are decent. Breakfast is included, it's of a two item menu but the menu changes everyday. The kitchen and cleaning staff are nice and friendly. I think under different circumstances, we would be able to enjoy our stay.
Wonderful place to stay, staff are helpful and polite. A 4 minute walk to the beach this place is a little oasis. Almost like staying in the jungle.
We had no complaints about Hotel Pasatiempo! The staff was very attentive and promptly responded to our questions. The rooms are clean and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hotel is located within easy walking distance of the beach, a super market, and all of the downtown restaurants, without being right on the busy main drag. Pool-side loungers and porches on every room make night caps easy. Live music every Monday is a fun bonus!
Parking is bad, rooms dont have a mini bridge, hair driers or irons. The food at the hotel restaurant is rather bad and overpriced. TV in the room would not work half of the time. I would not stay at this place again.
Very nice ambience and friendly stuff!
Love the restaurant and bar here. Great food and the best pina coladas in Tamarindo.
Awesome. Very cozy and lots of tropical flare. Monkeys were fun.
Live music, expats, good drinks
Great hotel. Relaxed and quiet. My only complaints would be the limited parking and the spotty WiFi. I would definitely go back there. Nothing like getting up early morning and having breakfast by the pool. Loved it. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.
Went here for the first week of our honeymoon. If you want a simple cute hotel this is the one. It is a good price for what you get. Close to the beach and still has lots of options to eat and drink with in walking (or stumbling) distance. Definitely recommend.
Best hotel I stayed at during my entire trip to Costa Rica. The staff is amazing, friendly, and very helpful. Not only did they make us feel at home our entire stay, but continued to help us after we were back in the states as we tried to locate some lost possessions. I definitely recommend staying here!
