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!

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness
el lugar considero tiene potencial sin embargo lo tienen muy descuidado, hay MUCHOS insectos como moscas, zancudos, cucarachas entre otros en los bungalows. la pileta del baño estaba muy sucia y el bungalow tenía un olor peculiar y había mucho comegen.
considero pueden darle más mantenimiento en cuestión de limpieza, orden y cuidado.
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
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.
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!
This is amazing we got to see wildlife right out of front door.The owners were really friendly and welcoming with the Pura Vida vibe. Our stay included free breakfast and coffee so that saved us a lot..is more for the eco friendly hippie vibe people and families.We truly enjoyed it.
Unique surroundings, away from busy Puerto Viejo center, abundant wildlife, super friendly staff, no stress. The rustic conditions may turn off some people but the advantages far outweigh this aspect. Individual bungalows ensure privacy.
Very Nice place. It is surrounded by nature so it is expected to find different types of animals.
The staff was friendly
You get what you pay for.
The swimming pool is big si kids enjoy it a Lot.
Very close to the beach
