Fodor's Review:

El Pizote observes local architectural mores while offering more than most in the way of amenities. All standard rooms have polished wood paneling, reading lamps, mirrors, and firm beds. Each of the two-room bungalows sleeps six. The restaurant serves breakfast, dinner, and drinks all day. Guanábana and papaya grow on the grounds, and hiking trails lead off into the jungle. Tranquil Playa Negra is just across the road.

  • In-room: no a/c (some), no phone, no TV.
  • In-hotel: restaurant, bar, pool, laundry service.
