Beautiful room in the trees
This hotel is beautiful. The owners made sure our stay was perfect. They brought a breakfast at exactly the time we requested. Croissants, fruit, toast and coffee. The balcony overlooked a forest. And they shuttled us to the airport at 5:15AM! Highly recommend.

It was my husband and I, first time visiting Costa Rica and it won't be our last. I would definitely recommend Hotel Pibi Boreal. It's a family owned hotel. You are treated very well from the time you get picked up. The property is a peaceful and tropical atmosphere. If that's what you love then, this would definitely be the place. The best part of our stay is having breakfast delivered to my room every morning and sitting on the balcony and eating while listening to the tropical wildlife. Thanks to Mathieu, his wife and also Sebastian for making our birthday weekend special.

Amazing forest all around, you are in the trees. Sadly we were unable to stay for breakfast as we were there one night and had to leave very early for our flight. Great staff and great recommendations for dinner

Excellent location close to the airport and yet seemed like you were in a rural part. Nice nature path behind the hotel. Nice continental breakfast (fruits, croissants, toast, coffee). The owners Mathieu and Nidia are very helpful with suggestions of where to go and where to eat. Would definitely stay there again.
