We stayed here on our first night in Costa Rica. Check in was easy, the hosts were very pleasant, and the breakfast was great (I'll never complain about fresh croissants and Costa Rican pineapple). The rooms were very clean and well appointed. The view was amazing... My kids loved eating breakfast on the balcony. Amazing stay, and a great start to our vacation.

Beautiful setting!
Not hard to find. Very secluded and incredibly beautiful gardens and landscaping! Peaceful setting though jet traffic overhead was a bit noisy in the morning but not too bad. Hosts were extremely helpful and caring. Room basic but fully adequate and spotlessly clean. Private balcony and delicious breakfast delivered right to our door finished our stay perfectly. Would love to stay here again!

Hotel Pibi Boreal was our first stop along our Costa Rican vacation and it certainly did not disappoint. Property is beautiful, rooms were very nice and clean, close to the airport, but felt like we were at an oasis away from it all. We were greeted by the owner and she could not have been more lovely. Breakfast was delivered right to our door and was delicious. Would definitely stay there again if we ever travel this way in the future!

It was a little hard at first to get here because it is a small out-of-the-way place that many taxi drivers had not heard of. However, once looking at an online map, it was easy to get to and very close to the airport - only 5 miles or so. It is a quiet spot, and the deck overlooking the trees is a wonderful place to have breakfast. The beds and linens are top quality, the bathroom is clean and new with a wonderful shower with plenty of hot water. I will consider staying here again.

Excellent service in this family-run bed and breakfast. After a long and late flight, the airport pick up was appreciated and to wake up with a beautiful view of a tropical garden and forest area was so much nicer than waking next to a highway at a typical airport hotel. We arranged for our rental car to be delivered to the property, so we were able to avoid the congested traffic of San Jose. Lovely continental breakfast with croissants and coffee.

Perfect first night in Costa Rica
Great place to stay for first night especially if you're looking for something more authentic than a hotel chain. The host made sure we got there safely from the airport even though we got in late and had delays with our baggage. In the morning we took a short walk on the property and saw leaf cutter ants! The host made sure we got pointed in the right direction on our way out. We would stay there again.

This is a family run B&B - we arrived after midnight and they had arranged a driver to pick us up at the airport and they were awake and waiting for us on arrival to help settle us in and arrange a time for breakfast to be delivered in the morning. They went above and beyond to assist us and were very kind - 10 stars if I could :)
