Nice place to Stay

El Pizote is a very nice place to stay if you like nature, we saw a Guatusa, frogs, birds, monkeys; also there are big trees that are home of many animals. The property has a nice location at a walking distance from Puerto Viejo. I know that this property needs maintenance, but I understand that this is due to pandemic economic effect. Carlos and his Wife are great hosts.

Rustic

The owners were so sweet and made a great homemade breakfast for our family. The property is so beautiful and the pool was great. Unfortuatly the cute little bungalow we were staying in was really hot, and had the hardest bed I have ever slept on. The wifi is only available at the main building and the rooms do not have a tv. This is not a bad place to stay but everyone should know what they are getting before they get there.

Overall, our stay here was excellent. We loved the little cabins with kitchenettes. It is very peaceful and beautiful as you’re a bit removed from the town of Puerto Viejo and the included breakfast is very good. The pool is nice but some of the grounds and facilities are a bit run down. This didn’t really bother us however and we were very pleased with our stay. Wifi only in the lobby, not in the cabins. Pool table and ping pong available to guests. It would have been nice if there were hammocks set up to relax in! Overall, great place!

If your budget is limited, reserve here, but don't expect luxury stay, it's only for to sleep. Personnel is not friendly, and during my stay I can't use the pool but it was not full clean, maybe beacuse of the weather. However, if you are looking for something cheap with the rainforrest experience this will be the place.

Bungalow #4 had insects all over the place, mostly cockroaches which was disgusting. Last two nights were terrible because there was a bat inside the bungalow. Service wasn't good, the female host seemed to be upset for having guests and I also noticed the bad way she treated her staff members. The hotel entrance was muddy and dark. I liked the breakfast tho.

I liked that we were the only guests there, and the breakfast was good.I did not like that the rooms were unclean, run down, not up to good standards..i could not sleep because I was afraid of bugs..we had to move 2 times due to door locks not working..first room wouldn't lock, second room we got locked out of..no A/C or TV in rooms and we had to pay extra for a room with A/C..the grounds were beautiful with much tropical landscaping, but the cabanas, cottages, pool area, were run down, in need of cleaning and painting..I would not recommend anyone staying here..was very disappointed and disgusted, would have left but I would have been charged, and lost money, so I just stuck it out the best I could..and couldn't wait to get out of there

El trato del personal ha sido excepcional! Las instalaciones están un poco descuidadas. Son cabañas humildes pero tienen lo necesario (cama, ducha y toallas) y se llega andando al pueblo en poco más de 5min. El desayuno muy rico. El lugar estaba prácticamente vacío, por lo que los animales se acercaban y pudimos ver monos y un perezoso, el momento Estrella de nuestro viaje!

Lo único que nos gustó fue el desayuno, que en realidad es muy bueno. No nos gustó que la propiedad está muy descuidada, comenzando por el rótulo que está en la calle principal que es tan viejo que ya no se ve, siguiendo por la entrada que no está para nada presentable, las habitaciones son super viejas y lamentablemente no les dan mantenimiento general, entonces encontramos aires acondicionados muy viejos, cortinas sucias, fachadas de las habitaciones en mal estado, jardines descuidados, piscina que necesita reparaciones, areas comunes ya muy viejas, tuvimos que ponernos alertas con el precio convenido porque nos estaban cobrando más dinero de lo acordado, tuvimos que solicitar que nos cambiaran de habitación porque la que nos asignaron tenía un olor muy fuerte a humedad y a orines de murciélago, las fotos de la propiedad que presentan en Expedia probablemente son de hace 10 años cuando el lugar seguramente no estaba tan descuidado. Definitivamente a este lugar le hace falta una inversión muy grande de dinero para arreglarlo y que funcione correctamente. Lamentablemente no recomdamos este lugar y tuvimos que quedarnos porque no teníamos más opción.

Cerca de playa negra.

El día que llegamos llovió mucho y la entrada (de la calle principal al hotel), estaba inundada, lo que dificultaba entrar y salir, la que atendía tampoco ayudó a solucionar mucho. (Al final cruzamos la zona inundada a pie varias veces) Por ese mismo motivo tampoco sirvió la piscina ya que le cayó barro. Las habitaciones son rústicas y en los baños entran insectos y otros animales. Pero los jardines son hermosos y hay mucha naturaleza, los amaneceres ahí son un espectáculo. Los desayunos son a abundantes.
Todos los días sirvieron, gallo pinto, huevo revuelto, salchichón, una tostada, jugo hecho con pulpa y café recién hecho.

Horrible experiencia

Mala experiencia, el hotel está en una propiedad enorme pero sumamente descuidado y antigua. El bungalow donde nos hospedamos estaba en completo deterioro, falta de iluminación, camas horribles con sabanas super viajas, cortinas diferentes para todas las ventanas, piscina turbia en mal estado y ni que decir del baño, donde había jabones usados en los tablones sin agua caliente, con huecos en las paredes. Lo más bonito fue ver animales dentro de la propiedad, el resto fue hasta el momento la peor experiencia que hemos vivido en un Hotel, máxime que las fotos no corresponden a la realidad en la que se encuentra la infraestructura por lo que se siente como haber sido estafados.
