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.

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.

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!

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

Bungalow très bien situés. Environnement en pleine nature. Des animaux.(toucans.perroquets.grenouilles.singes hurleurs etc) Logements a rafraîchir mais corrects. Clim.eau chaude.grande terrasse .grande piscine. Cuisine équipée. A quelques centaines de mètres de Puerto Viejo. Carlos et son épouse sont très amicaux. Je reviendrai. Bon rapport qualité prix pour un bungalow(cabina) avec deux chambres

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!

Wer eine Dschungelcamp Erfahrung sucht ist hier genau richt. Einfache Hütten in einem großen Garten in dem sämtliche Tiere Costa Ricas zu finden sind. Sehr freundliche Gastgeber und die Unterkunft hat genau die richtige Lage um nach Monzanillo oder Cahuita zu kommen

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.

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.
