We attended a wedding; we did not and would not stay there. In serious need of either a complete renovation or a good bulldozing. The staff (if you could call them that) were absolutely useless. They walked out before serving the reception dinner. The Guests had to step up and served the meal. Steer clear..

Board outside states 'Deluxe Eco Lodge'. Deluxe it certainly is not. This could be a really nice place, but needs some care and investment. The lodges are substantial, with a fan (no air con). Some mozzie nets were missing completely and other's were not up to the job, our's allowed in a bat, so I don't believe the mozzie's would... More

This is a real eco-lodge style place, but not for those who are used to 5-star luxury. Grounds are great, with accommodation in hut-style chalets. Breakfast really basic,waiting staff move at geological pace. New American/Costa Rican owner very welcoming, has only had the place a few months and plans to fully renovate, which it needs. Nice pool, but needs a... More

There are some people ther but no guests. Srrived late, scary, no guests there, no hot water, not safe. Ran off... More

We traveled with EF Tours. We had a group of 29 people. We had a "cabin" that was run down and filthy. Bug infested! We slept with ants in the beds. The bathroom had no soap just an empty box. The walls had black hand prints and grime on them. The "bedroom" had one fan on a stand. No window... More

Okay, the idea of finding "nature" in a hotel with bungalows and cabins is essentially impossible, but El Pizote is as close as it comes without giving up all comfort. The grounds are filled with a variety of gorgeous plants which are thoughtfully placed so as to at least partially hide one unit from another, creating an illusion of even... More

I stayed at El Pizote Lodge with a group from EcoTeach. We stayed three nights and loved it. Pizote isnt a fancy resort, but a relaxing getaway in Puerto Viejo literally down the road from the Lively Puerto Viejo Limon "downtown" and beach. The food was excellent and I'd recommend this Lodge to anyone. I can't wait to go back!

This was an amazing place. There are plants everywhere and it's really clean. The rooms were nice and the staff was excellent. I also enjoyed the food. This was most definitely one of my favorite hotels in Costa Rica.

We stayed at El pizote, nice staff, nice place, nice rooms and clean, however the beaches are not near, "playa negra beach" is worst beach in area. Puerto Viejo is in general terms not safe town, don't waste your time in Puerto viejo, go to Punta Uva beaches, or Manzanillo..amazing caribean beaches! We stayed at Arrecife lodge at punta uva,...
