We are a young at heart retired couple who operated a hotel and restaurant for many years in Costa Rica. We love to interact with our guests and help them with any information they might need.

Pasatiempo del Sur is a coastal oasis in Puerto Cayo, Manabi. Bamboo fencing hedged with hibiscus creates a colorful and private sanctuary for our guests. The three buildings of the compound are situated to maximize views to the sea and to the lush gardens of the property. Palms provide dappled shade for the pool and fresh coconut water for smoothies. The tufted grass of the lawn is surrounded by mature plantings including bougainvillea in pinks and reds, a variety of cacti and aloe, and lilies in yellows and oranges. The air is filled with the sound of the sea and birdsong. Hammocks sway under the thatched-roof gazebo, a perfect place for napping, reading, or doing nothing at all.
