The property, the staff, and everything about our stay, here was excellent. The location to the beach and all of the things in downtown or within 10 minutes or less. It really added to our trip to Costa Rica and we think the hotel very much for helping in every way. My wife and I had a very good time here.

Room was clean, well equipped and bed was super comfy. Pool area was nice with plenty of areas of shade to avoid the sun. Very convenient location. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something quaint with a local vibe.
The resident iguana made regular appearances.
Howler monkeys kept us entertained.

The location is very convenient to everything but can be a little noisy at night (mostly talking about the bad karaoke singing haha). There are many animals around which is fun to see. The property is really charming. The breakfast options could be better for vegans but the staff tried their best to accommodate us. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel

The hotel is a very short walk to the main downtown area. Just far enough away to avoid the noise but close enough to be there in a few minutes. The pool is amazing! Staff is very helpful and courteous. The room was clean and air conditioned, and the beds were comfortable.

Small hotel with a nice made to order restaurant. Within walking distance of everything you need. Across the street is a grocery store, down the street is the beach, coffee shops, many different restaurants. I was there with two children (10, 11,) and my husband and we felt safe the entire time. The hotel has security and closes a gate at night. Would stay here again and would definitely recommend. We saw cool birds, iguanas and monkeys while there!

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.

We stayed for 7 nights and had a wonderful time! The property was right in the middle of all the best restaurants in town - Lestanco (The Hidden Garden), Dragonfly, Rugierio for coffee and bagels, the Night Market and all of the beach restaurants to watch the sunset. The owner was there every day. The staff was excellent. Definitely saw monkeys in the trees above us. It was a definite oasis in the middle of town! We loved it!

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

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.
